CUSTOM Steel Road Bike REBUILT! - Sram AXS eTap, Ritchey Carbon Fork, Velo Orange Brakes, Velocity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- I just couldn't shake the curiosity of how the Sram AXS Force eTap groupset I had in a box from a previous build would feel on my custom Ellis road bike, so I bought a Ritchey WCS Carbon fork and pulled out my old Velocity Pro wheelset and rebuilt it. I also aquired a Rivendell Raboulliet frame that I wanted to build up with the classic silver parts adorning the Ellis. So, this video is the first of 2 birds killed with one stone...and it is AWESOME!

1 minute in: Wait what, did I just hear a lot of carbon and electronic shifting?? Am I on the right channel? Well let me get some chips and let's go!
That’s what I said!
My bikes are vintage very old school Eddy Merckx - Bernard Hinault - & alikes 20 and 22 mm. tyres . 2 and 3 sprokets on the front ; 6 and 7 gears on the back . More than 40 years young and running around very smoothlly . Tubulares tyres Michelan old school. I won't Change them for those contemporâneous electronics gizmos .
Show us some of those and make comparaisons. In the end tell US which Will win a real French tour de France .
What brand and model are the HUBS? The Rear Hubs sound so good freewheeling!
RUclips is not even 20 years old and has changed the documentation of life, hobbies, comedy. Love all my favorites' videos. I love being in the garage working on bikes but can't imagine having to stop every few seconds to consider another camera view and explaining what I'm doing.
Fixing, riding, droning, yelling at clouds... this video had it all.
Your first channel shirt - “Save the turtle - Screw the cyclist”. I would buy two! Even funnier when I think about my daughter who has devoted herself to conservation and the protection of turtles
At 41:02 He's breaking the 15mph speed limit!!! Does he own the cops? At 44:48 he RUNS a stop sign! So, yeah, he controls that town and has the power to do whatever he wants! He'll probably make his cat the town mayor.
there is a name for people that can only find fault
Just got an old chromoly road bike running again! These videos are therapy
Pocket drone shots were pretty nice in this one Andy. Always nice to watch someone play with their new toy.
Sadly, every community creates its own wedge issues... including bikes. Carbon vs metal, electronic vs cable, hydraulic vs cantilever.
I ride all bikes and can appreciate all of them in their different ways. Even if a particular setup is not for, let others appreciate their setup their way.
Never satisfied, can't leave well enough alone. Yup that's me for sure
Terrific video. One of your best yet. Informative, instructive and humorous. The ride at the end of the video was through some interesting terrain. By the time I had figured out how you filmed those scenes from up in the air with some kind of "follow me" feature on a drone, you made that spectacular left handed catch of the drone over the side of the bridge! What an amazing scene that was!
Oh, that looks awesome. And as everyone knows, looking good is the most important thing to cycling. Now, looking forward to seeing you shredding the Swiss Alps.
Electronic shifting, Lycra and a drone, man what a road weenie influencer!! Love the looks of the bike and thanks for another great video. Really enjoyed the ending with the drone!! I have a friend with the same drone and one of my favorite vids is of it just flying into a tree.
From Bike Farmer to Road Weenie...ROFL
Soon he'll tell us disc brakes are best on road bikes. 😆😵💫
Soon he'll be shaving his beard, arms n legs for 'better aero' LOL
For the brake reach issue , Bdop Cycling sells pad holders with pads that add 7mm reach, which may help you out. I’ve had success on a few builds with there problem solver pad holders.
Podcast for the Ramones...No Dogs In Space?
Can't wait to see you in the mountains! Thanks for video :)
I love the look of carbon forks on classic style bikes. Your whole build looks great!
Also those VO brakes are straight up the best rim brakes I've ever used. I have all 3 in this video on various bikes
wow great vid thanks! my fave part? 36:06~Sez the gentleman who endorses Dork rings. (And DID NOT install on on his smooth stealth ride.....)
🤙🏼 Yeaaa! #roadie welcome to the club. No dork diac, electrinic groupset, loud hub, carbon, licra kit, helmet + cycling cap, tubolitos, flat top chain, aesthetics!!! Way to go. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Good evening, SIr. I watched one of your some of your older vids and you said(you can't make me accept your facts)so I watched more and I was shocked.You don't preach a point of view,politics, life choices.You just do bike's.Then I saw how you started this channel to help in the winter when its slow.I know how that is,I work everyday paycheck to paycheck but I still joined just because I can watch someone who isn't telling me what to think.So thank you for the content.
Mechanical brakes save so much time screwing around with hydraulics.
Cool bike !!
What are your thoughts on bathing your chain in molten paraffin wax with a lubricant of your choice?
My 60 year old wife just did the Alpe d’Huez (1.35) with a wax+ PTFE chain.
I really like this build. Shift cables have drawbacks, and we use batteries for lights anyway, or at least I do. I would like something like this that could take 40mm. I've never been able to recable and calibrate my shifting, so moving to AXS would give me more ability to set up and adjust the bike.
Good enough for who it's for!! Would make a great T shirt 😂
Think he has it in his shop
Beautiful bike! I love the steel/ti frames and I'm a big fan of rim brakes. You're right about "custom" frames, they are simply the best. Thanks for sharing!!
Wireless shifting is MAGIC.
Names are important for bikes.
CSN Darkstar.
Murdered out machine. Thats what I call a sick road bike, not those ufo looking carbon aero something( some of them remind me of that weird flat fish from the sea)
Geez, I always struggled to get Continental 5000s on my wheels. I gave up on them. You made it look easy.
Nicely done! It's great to have so many fit and finish options available, we can truly make a bike our own flavor. Happy Trails, see you on the next adventure! 😁
Beautiful bike before and after rebuild.
I have a pair of Velo Orange brakes on my Cannondale synapse. Best rim brakes I have ever used
Im building a sweet carbon 5500 (WI badge on the front). Whilst watching YOU build yours. Love it. Bikes are the best. ❤❤
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭. Enjoy your trip in the alps 🚵🏻♂️.
man you're really turning into a cyclist with all this newfangled technology. never thought i'd see the day!
When you put the new fork on there I immediately thought wow that almost perfectly matches the frame’s paint.
27:55 having a custom bike built for you by passionate engineers is about the most awesome connection you can have to a bicycle
Can't blame you for the eTap. Wanna try it myself.
Disc brakes are great for overheating on long descents. I use a third party 12 chain on my Sram etap no problems. Great bike 👍
Funny that I have only fading with disc brakes…
You're kinda the "Lake Wobegon' of bike shops. Nice little town . . . great riding territory.
I'm all vintage, custom Tom Teesdale (2000) 7-speed RSX, but I picked up an 80's Japanese frame with SRAM parts on it as a project. The 'restomod' has SRAM cranks and brifters, but the drive chain and cassette are 'generic' so no need for a special chain.
Awesome build Andy! Beautiful bike! Thanks for taking us along on your shakeout and ride at the end. Excellent job, love to watch and thanks for sharing your knowledge as always.
Nice one and great catch of the Hover Air!!
Finally Electronic and some CF
Looks great!
What are the benefits of the carbon fork? Stiffer?
Awesome - he'll take us all to the Alps! Where is his shop, I'll bring the donuts! Edit: Videos? No, I think he forgot he said he'd take us all.
I love the Velo Orange brakes, have a pair of their Grand Cru on my Trek Domane!
Nice rebuild❤
Love watching you tweek your bikes it’s a big part of the game for me to. Also loved the sir mix a lot action always welcome in my world. Can’t wait to see the new build, I’m just about to purchase a Rivendell bike for randonneuring❤.
thats a pretty sick rebuild
Awesome build
Awesome bike...😎
SRAM FORCE AXS is sooo sweet. Love it with 1x
Black Chris King headset..
Man that bike looks SWEET...all murdered out (black) like that! Im more than impressed.
retro meets new is the best kind of bike
Wow can't wait for the Alps videos ! I shared with my American Built Frames Facebook Group
I can’t wait to get the footage!
Come on over to my area of the alps while you are in Europe, Schliersee Germany (50km south of Munich). The road riding here is excellent.
Nice video, cool bike build. You might enjoy Killing Joke on a ride, I know I do, though I have to be out of town, it tends to lead me into the higher gears.
Have fun in the Swiss Alps., they're friggin beautiful. 👍
Now that you're embracing the wireless dark side again check out SRAM Wireless Blips. Changed my life.
Sweet ride...
So I got a '22 Mondraker Foxy R aluminum bike with nice DT wheels, Ohlins suspension and a lower mid SRAM build. After a bit of time it ended up getting a bunch of modifications. I built Hope-DT-Spank wheels with TPU tubes & Tannus inserts inside Vittoria Mazza tires, went with e13's 11S 9-46, SRAM GX der & a twist shifter (yea, they are durable, easy to use with arthritic thumbs and they don't injure knees in crashes) and a KMC SL waxed chain, NSB-Spank cockpit with Acerbis hand guards and NSB pedals on GX Cranks in a CC helbender BB. Hope brakes (Yup, new brakes for asthetics but the benefit is better braking. I love vented rotors!), HS & seatpost clamp, e13 chainring and chain guide are next. A bunch of parts trickled down to a couple of other bikes in the house for good upgrades. It's been a satisfying journey.
My last custom steel road bike is a Landshark with Campy C-Record and Delta brakes from the very early days of ergopower shifting brake levers. She got a Cannondale Coda suspension seatpost that has survived with gentel, loving care. It was built for decending in the Alps with a burly MTB top tube that made it a speed weapon. She is still too fast.
The Ramones deserve their place in music history. Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction is another great one for pedaling tunes.
Darkstar is a great name, my RC car racing buddy uses it as his nickname. Those rear dropouts are beautiful. 😍 Rock on!!!
Very exciting re-build and TRIP PLANS! Just throwing this out there, but FYI I am all in on 1X for my gravel and road/touring bikes. I respect the "Save the Front Derailleur" movement (if you could call it that), but I just love the darn 1X. My road set up is 40-10/46. Peace! -Greg
I ran into the same brake problem with my new build. I was trying to swap brakes but the new fork wasnt compatible. Ended up buying some black Shimano mid reach calipers which matched the black frame better than the silver ones I was swapping. So all good in the end!
Damnit now I gotta build a road bike. 👀
Love a good experiment and change up for the sake of it.
Would also say the matching steel fork is the fancier and much more beautiful option from the outside looking in. 😂
Lovely bike
SLAYERRRRR! 🤘
lovely flat roads im so gelous
Damn, man. Every one of these I can't stop watching. And I'm not a road biker ;-). Just love biking. Is that a partypace topcap on your stem?
I have the RideNow TPU 45g race formula tubes (~$7 per tube on AliExpress) on my gravel bike. I have put about 150 miles on them on light gravel and paved paths, and I haven't had any issues with them. I'm not sure that 150 miles is enough evidence of them being good, but so far so good for me!
I put on some cheapo Amazon ones and so far, so good!
I use solder on the tip of my cables, you will never need to cut another cable, ever!
Ramones are badassery! #punk #pop
Cheers from the Swiss mountains! Maybe we see each other somewhere on the road 🙂
Why the "more life left" tire on the rear? I've always thought the less worn tire should be up front for good traction and steering control.
I always put the newer tires on the front, don't want to put any more risk into having a front flat.
You get more life out of tires if you rotate them. The back wears faster. I hear your concern about the front tire, but that’s never been an issue in my experience. 👍
Right . A fall from the front cockpit onto the floor it,s a very catastrofic event ending - up on the dentistry parlour . That's expensive and very '0uch 😮😢'@@AwesomeSheep48
If your Switzerland trip involves a Frankfurt layover - I live 30 bike minutes from the airport and would care to shake hands.
O come on, new cables, that you probably buy in bulk, are less the $2 ea. And you can easily use short rear derailleur and rear brake cables on the front! Gearing - I'm 65 now and I like 30:48 or 0.625 for the hills on the Isle of Man and these past 2 months in the Pyrenees on my mtb. On my road bike I have 30:42 or 0.71 as my lowest gear; 1:1 is way too high a gear for climbing for me.
Real purdy.
SLAYER
Nice town
Evil bike farmer be like: electronic shifting 😈
No grease on the bottom bracket before reinstall? #BkeHkr
I’m doing a drop bar install for the first time. Do I need a cable housing cap on the line before I insert it into the brake lever? Or do I just raw dog it without one?
Dude... You watching the Tour and thinking "I need to upgrade"? 😆
IT WASN’T AN UPGRADE! 😉
Awesome video and build,what was the before and after weight lbs?
The Bike looked good before, but the black really makes it look fast! Liked the format of build and ride in this video!
What Hubs are those? Sound SO Good freewheeling! Really crisp!!!
I like tpu tubes but the supplied patches havent worked for me. Held air at home but riding loosened them allowing air to escape.
A coincidence... The first time I rebuilt my Cove G-Spot FR bike in 2005 I had it repainted with a Dodge paint code Sub-Lime! I also cut out of some chrome tape FOTD (Friend Of The Devil for those of you that aren't familiar) for the down tube. (~):}
Have you missed Grant’s rant about carbon forks
No. I think for myself.
Carbon forks are great and a total aversion to CF is silly
I should know better than try to be funny in RUclips comments. Everybody takes things so seriously
Watching this after installing a 1x drivetrain on my wife's bike 🚲
1x is absolute cr@p
@@Tarmaccyclocross cool story. Could have used a dragon or something though
You should get black headphones. Style is important! Do you do to Wallis, or Grisons?
18:30 those threads sound dryyyyy, why no clean+grease?
Thanks!
From Switzerland, head south to Italy. The dolomites is cycling centre. Contact Ustaria Posta in Badia (they have a YT channel) for a place to stay. The food is amazing.
Through and through from the hip, contigencies of the road be as they may, plenty candid always by who it's by
What drone do you use?
Next you’re going to tell us that you’re switching to disc brakes. Where’s the channel going??? 😢. Great vides
Why didn't you use the Whisky RD+ mid-reach fork? It's got a straight steerer and designed for 700x35mm. Seems like the perfect option for this frame.
It was probably out of stock
Goin on FB Marketplace and buying rims and bars and I'll probably end up a new frame if Im not careful. 😅
What crochet gloves do you wear? I've been thinking about getting some.

How much would a typical LBS charge to tear a bike apart and rebuild? Just labor. Assume best case
Only a true cyclist/mechanic would get turned on be crank bolts, lol 😂😂
Got to compliment the big man here on this excellent video. First watch how to put tyres and tubes on, then watch the man again, he's got a chair, I sit cross legged on the floor. Top job. He's fried my tiny mind with the out of character build. Gilles Berthoud make a bar end rear view mirror that's a ton of money but won't bust your glasses, the string gloves saved my hands in high speed crashes, follow the big man's lead on this they're better than the modern fabrics for protecting your nose pickers.
Yo Farmer! Thanks for all your great content.
I’ve been trying to send you some taco money, but the way YT is set up it will not let me superchat or subscribe using foreign currency. (PS. I’m an American expat in Deutschland)
Patreon all the waytreon…
Perhaps we’ll pass by riding in the Alps this fall!
hmmmm…I get Taco money all the time from the EU.
So I am 58 recovering alcoholic. Need to get my butt in shape (as it is) but I’m not even sure where to start with a bike. I would like to find sonething used to make sure I’m physically capable of riding. ( I’m not laid up) lol , but have let my body go for a long time. I use to love riding, fixing and Frankensteining a bike. But I also don’t want to spend 400-or more on something I can’t continue to do. What do you suggest. Im 5’9”. Sone don’t even know what size bike. I have a 30”inseam.
