I have been told by a bike mechanic that worked for a pro cycling team that you need to make the cables longer so that they are pressed against the tubes and that this will have less cable noise as a result. A tighter cable will make more noise. Especially for the cable in the front bar.
Hey Luke, I've recently built up a bike that was heavily influenced by your content. Probably not for everyone, I went for a high(ish)-end steel frame and some name-brand alloy wheels but I combined that with a Sensah Empire mechanical 11-speed groupset. This is actually my second set of Sensah shifters, I had some 8-speed ones before and it really works for me. I think of it as a bit of a sleeper bike! I know it doesn't fit with your "cheapskate ethos" but if you had a supernice button I'd actually like to buy you a beer. Thanks for everything, keep up the good work. 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖
1. Frame looks really mint. If it works, it's great. If we're honest, all the 10 grand super bikes are mainly built in Chinese factories anyway, so who is kidding who (or possibly whom).. 2. Mechanical shifting is great. It always has been, it was never a problem for anyone. 3. Electronic shifting is a 'build it and they shall come' industry tactic to do ONE thing. Get them more income. And the riders consequently less money. Always a lovely and uplifting video, as usual.
Nice to hear you thanking all us subscribers when you're doing the all the work putting out great relatable content. Keep faffing in the garage, im looking foward to the Trace Tag Along bike episode in the future bolted throught that frame 😅
Cheers to you too, Luke! Slowly putting together a gravel bike build with mostly ali express bought parts and would never had considered it without this channel. 🥖🥖🥖🥖
A really annoying thing about fully internal builds is that technically, any time you disconnect the hydraulic hoses (which headset maintenance or maybe shipping would require), you're supposed to cut a bit of the hose off and use a new olive. So if you didnt leave enough slack in the hose, you'll need to fully replace the hoses!
This is happening all the time in my LBS, and the labour costs are quite eye watering. Funny how the RUclips influencers keep failing to mention this. Well done for pointing it out 👍
Watched this on the Roku and had to grab a computer to say how excited I am to have just found your channel! You've ignited so much excitement in me for cycling and bike building. Cheers!
for sure the best bike built ever on your side. it's an impressive value for money and finally answers the question, if mechanical shifting is working with inner cable routing. congratulations 🎉
Thank you for just being yourself and putting out some of the best content on RUclips!!! Love to wake up and get a notification from TRACE VELO, it's like Christmas every time. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year 🎊 🥖🥖🥖💚🤍🧡 Thanks again Luke,we all love ya mate!
This video perfectly encapsulates what your channel is all about: building your uniquely designed frame using budget-friendly components. Can't wait for next year :) Merry Christmas, and enjoy the holidays everyone! 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🌲🌲🌲
It would have been interesting to hear feedback from the company about the issue had. A customer should not have to make this modification. Great video as always
Listen, Luke! I recently both 2 x vintage steel bikes and I upgraded them with modern components. Riding a steel bike gave me the best experience so far. 1kg weight penalty is not a big problem for me. I was wondering if you kindly consider to get a cheap vintage bike and to make few videos upgrating it. I'm sure you have plenty of components you can use. I loved upgrading these bikes. They are so stylish and beautiful and I can confirm that the Steel is real. I believe these videos will be very interesting for many of us. Regards.
@@TraceVelodefinitely! Do a steel frame classic build with 10 speed sram red s/h and see if you can get the weight low. It should make for a lovely build and an interesting video.
This is wild, that's a stunning bike especially for the money. I much prefer the integrated look! Would love to build something like this up for next year.
That was such a buzz when the frame with your branding on it turned up. Thank you for the year as well, you are always bright and cheerful. My favourite 'garage faffer'.
Your best looking bike so far! Just need some Baggette Seal Of Approval sticker in it. 🥖 I'm weirdly proud of you, I've following you since the start pretty much. Keep it real, and never change your name, Luke.
Recently ordered and built up a lightcarbon lcr017d frame ( via review by Hambini) and ltwoo r9 thanks to your experience. It has an integrated bar stem. Yes, triple check the cable for the correct left and right. Have elite ent 2.0 wheels and a 105 crankset. Cost ~$1300 usd. It’s awesome. I greatly appreciate your videos as they are always entertaining and informative. Many thanks
Congratulations on another great build, It is the best looking bike yet. The bike looks super clean with those integrated cables. I bet it's very rewarding after putting it. together with all that hard work.
Best thing about fully integrated gear cables is that fame has no holes, so you can glue cable guides on the frame and do fully external cable routing. That's what I'm going to do on my MTB when I get the frame.
I regularly check in just to remind myself why I don't bother with modern bikes. Who needs all this faff in their life, not me that's for sure. Nah I'll stick to my externally routed 2011 TCR Advanced with the mechanical rim brake Dura Ace 9000 thank you very much!
I love new and modern stuff but I would never trade it for maintainability or customization. I had a fully integrated bike and a aero seatpost on my last bike and I hated that I could not easily swap parts out to test things. Also a 45 minute install of cables becomes a 2-3 hour battle - no thanks. I just want to ride my bike 😂
I'm also this guy. Except my bike's not as good. 2013 planet X pro-carbon with 105. I even have straight runs of exposed inner cable on the down tube! And guess what. It's never been a problem. Still on the original brake cables. 😮. Love it. Although maybe I'd love setting up a modern bike, I do enjoy painful challenges.
@@ohwhoaitzjoe In reality, how often do you replace cables outers? Once every 2-3 years, if your bike is a daily? Even less when you have more than one bike...
Just fitted a ltwoo gr7 group set to my beater gravel bike. Seems amazing. All because I watch ur channel. Seriously thinking of getting one off these frames and in your colours 🤙🤙🤙
Great looking bike to be sure, but as someone who has built up both of his bikes and does basically all of his own maintenance, I have absolutely zero interest in a fully integrated bike, even with an electronic groupset, regardless of how good it looks. Just not worth the extra hassle for me. I think semi-integrated (i..e. not through the headset) looks clean enough especially with an electronic groupset like I have on my road bike, and it's just so much easier to work on.
Loved the video Thank you Luke you have given us so many great money saving videos with tips and hacks your a one off for sure ,Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and a healthy 2025 .
This video is holy grail for independent bike enthusiast imo. I love to tinker with bike but there're some things I can't or not confident enough to do myself. I'd imagine it'll be pretty expensive to give this work to bike mechanic.
The bar and spacers could easily be Engineered/designed to make a less sharp angle for the cables to bend at the stem-steer tube intersection. Thanks for posting, I was pondering doing a similar build in my fantasy black friday build.
I have an older allez road frame with external cable routing, Ive been installing some of the bits you've been recommending on your channel and it feels like a new bike now, thanks for all your videos been great watching
I just finished building up an OG Evkin Loong, with the same handlebars. FANTASTIC Bike!!!!!! I went with SRAM Red AXS to add some bling and finished it off with a Super Team all carbon 50mm wheelset. This is my 3rd OG Evkin, in the last 10 years, and I have loved all 3.
Very happy for this upload, I will be building nearly the same bike for myself in Trace Velo colours. I was a liitle bit concerned about internal routing, but no longer after watching Your video. Big thanks!
As usual, not disappointed by Luke, like went on before I even started to watch the video 👌 This integrated build looks gorgeous, I'm super fan of fully integrated bikes, neat and tidy. One thing I don't like, is that big cable housing loop at the rear derailleur, kind of downgrades the whole effect. But I guess it's necessary for smooth shifting. 🥖
good video - i took on the same challenge installing the Shimano 105 12 speed mech groupset onto an integrated aero frame - it was a challenging endeavor for sure ...but the shifting was excellent which was surprising - you covered all the key points - easier to go electronic for sure but you will pay a chunk for it ;)
I'm happy for you Luke. Few questions: 1. Saddle, how does that perform? Can you link? 2. Handlebar tape, please link 3. Internar routing tool, can you link it as well please.
Love it! I work in a bike shop and i still hate headset routing with a passion, but you made it look good, May I make one suggestion? You need magenta and lime bar tape to match the paint job now. Magenta on the left, lime green on the right.
Brother thanks for such excellent videos, I like the hybrids bikes more because they are very comfortable for me to move around the city, but your recommendations have been useful when buying things in aliexpress, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, greetings from Mexico, luck and success bro🤝
Headset spacers skirt, I built something similar and used a large 32mm? O ring which went round the outside of the compression washer and created a seal and hid the gap between the frame and plastic spacers.
Maybe you can use your visibility to entice frame manufacturers to design their integrated frames in such a way that it makes easier to install fully manual transmissions. For instance, the handlebar / fork transition could have an easier angle for the cables (and the aero benefit might be there as well).
I'm really hoping hydraulic groupset designs like rotor's become more common, shift hoses can be much more flexible than mechanical housing without having to worry about batteries and electronics
it's always a pleasure watching you videos, i also built up a gravel bike bought on Aliexpress (Airwolf) and faced a similar issue as yours in the head tube cup, i simply added 2 spacer in the headset between the upper cover and beams.
I tried to route my mechanical cables through an enve road handlebar and the brake cable did not want to bend enough to route through the corners, I had to give up and just leave them outside. Thats cool that you got ALL the cables without much trouble.
Can you do a more in depth video on routing cables through integrated handlebars? That was the one thing I couldn't get past on my latest build. Ended up taking it to a shop
Cheers for another quality presentation Luke. You're an inspiration and a font of knowledge. Its the likes of you and Jourdain who gave me the confidence to buy from the far east and build up an ELVES Falath frame all by myself and the result is amazing, bringing a smile to my face every time I clip in and head out. Merry Xmas to you and your family.
Lovely video Luke!. I would love to see a detailed video on you routing the cables through the handlebars to help us noobs out there. I'm sure you have some good tips to offer. Thank you!
@TraceVelo the groupset as a whole is very good, only let down I'd say is the front derailleur. You've got to make two clicks either way to get the chain between large and small chainring, takes some getting used to.
Best part is how happy Luke was with the new bike.
Ohh you have no idea!. I just got back from a ride. I think it's easily the best bike I've ever built, I am SO SO pleased with it!!!
Love the fact that you make bike building more accessible. You inspired me to build my own bike and I love it.

A great example why a ‘simple cable change’ costs so much these days
It really is pretty easy. The housing is the guide. Just slide the new cable into the housing. Not bad at all 🥖🥖🥖
Great work!
Can we expect an inspection in six months to check what the cables in the upper section look like, whether they aren't worn out/frayed?
Cheers to you too, Luke! Slowly putting together a gravel bike build with mostly ali express bought parts and would never had considered it without this channel. 🥖🥖🥖🥖

I've just done a build with the sensah empire pro and now I'm regretting my decision after you've spoken so highly of the ltwoo
The Sensah stuff is great, I just haven't used it in a while. The empire pro is a great groupo!
@TraceVelo the groupset as a whole is very good, only let down I'd say is the front derailleur. You've got to make two clicks either way to get the chain between large and small chainring, takes some getting used to.
