    Incredible Build! I did a similar build last year with my dad's '96 Rockhopper. I did end up buying a new rear wheel because I didn't know about changing the freehub. I also went with an AdventX derailleur (1x10) and a RockShox recon silver tk fork in the front to modernize the bike (still kept the v-brakes for now). Loving these videos, keep it up!

      The downside being that you either end up with top and bottom gear ratios that are closer together than before, or that you have similar top and bottom ratios, but with much bigger jumps in between. Or perhaps a mixture of both. Whatever you choose, there are always compromises.

    IMHO, I might call changing a 3x7 to 1x10 an update, but not necessarily an upgrade. My old 1999 Giant Sedona is 3x7 and I love it. Wide range, plenty of options, and the available combinations to maintain a straight, efficient chain line. All the best to you.

    • @OjStudios
      @OjStudios Год назад +13

      You get less possible gear options and people call this an upgrade. I don't get it either. Simplicity of 1x is nice but I too prefer my 3x7 as an ATB. Gears for any terrain and situation.

    • @DePuesshop

      @keeganwebber Год назад +7

      3x9 is what i currently use on an old giant yukon for commuting, has the gearing to haul groceries and a trailer up hills, but has plenty of top end when unloaded. friction shift front is the key in my opinion to avoid the annoyance of shifting an indexed triple.
      with that said, i totally get why people convert to 1x, it is much simpler.

    • @ondrejmanych5688
      @ondrejmanych5688 Год назад +12

      depends on the bike. For commuting or a touring or something like that, it can be awesome. But for a trail mtb, 1x is the way to go. Less rattle, less complicated shifting, quiet riding..

    • @SurpriseMeJT
      @SurpriseMeJT Год назад +4

      Agree. I remember racing on 3x7, 3x8 and then 3x9. Though for racing the granny gear is essentially useless, normal daily riding tells me 3x anything is better than any 1x.

    Outstanding. I love the way my Gary Fisher 26" rides. I upgraded the cranks to Hollowtech II and the bike lost a pound or so. I would comment that SRAM sure does pedal better than Shimano in my humble opinion...but ain't cheap. Another option would have been 11-42 cassette and double cranks. Having a front derailleur has a cool retro look. Makes it nice for big transitions in terrain too.

    • @DePuesshop

      That makes sure the hanger on the frame is parallel to the wheel, which in turn makes sure the cassette is also aligned to the derailleur. If this is not parallel, the shifting performance will be poor.

    Amazing video!! Is it really as simple as just replacing the 7-speed freehub body with an 8-speed freehub body and then using the same original axle and hardware that was on it originally? My LBS is saying "It's not that simple, you may need a longer axle, new cone/cup hardware etc, the spacing will be off etc..." I want to do the exact same conversion, 3x7 on a 90's Bianchi MTB (with very nice Mavic/STX wheelset), but don't want to go into the whole trouble of rebuilding the wheel with a new modern hub etc... But you used the original axle and hardware from the 7-speed setup when installing the new 8-speed? THANKS!!!!!

      You could still go 1x11 and just leave the smallest cog away, which will make the cassette fit the old 7x freewheel, and you still end up with 10 gears. Only two real downsides to this: your longest gear will be a tad shorter (12T on most MTB cassettes), and you'll have to find a matching 12T cassette lockring, as the one that comes with the new 11x cassette usually won't fit the 12T cog's friction surface.
      Use a matching 11x shifter (the 11th gear will be without function, but that doesn't really matter). Might be an option...

    • @DePuesshop

    Hey Mr. DePue, great video! Do you know what would have happened if you tried to install a 27.5" wheel on a rockhopper or trek mountain track type bike that was made for 26"? I'm going to try to build my first bike with a 1x conversion on a mountain track and am wondering if i should try it this way with the old wheels or try to run 27.5

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop  10 месяцев назад

      I think it is possible, but the tires need to be pretty small, and the frame needs some extra space. I've been looking for the right combination to try a build like that. A mullet set up with a 27.5 up front would be easier but may mess with the bikes geometry.

    Great video!
    But if I can not change the free hub from 7-speed to 8/9/10 hub I can still use a 10-speed cassette (removing 1 cog) on my 7-speed hub, resulting in a 9-speed cassette.
    Do still have to use a 10-speed derailleur and shifter or can I just use a 9-speed derailleur/shifter?

      I've seen others try that, but I think the drive train becomes a little fussy.

    There is one point that I don't quite understand. Did you have to widen the frame width to accomodate a 10-speed wheel from a 7-speed? If so, how did you manage?

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop  7 месяцев назад +1

      Nope, the frame and axel width stayed the same. The chain width and cog spacing are narrower, so it still fits. You need to make sure there is some space between the frame and the smallest cog on the 7 speed to accommodate the slightly wider set up.

    What's the rubber/cable guide you use in the frame's rear brake tube?

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop  Год назад

      It was just a piece of the cable guide that goes across the top tube. In the end, it wouldn't stay in there and so I cut it out. I thought it would reduce the friction.

    I’m confused by this. I thought you weren’t supposed to be able to swap a 7 speed freehub for an 8 speed hub due the the difference in height. How can a bigger hub fit? I watched another one of your videos where you swapped out the cassette for a 7 speed wide range cassette so I ran out and bought one of those thinking that was my only option as all my bikes have 7 speed cassettes. Love ALL your videos. Can you explain how adding a taller hub is even possible?

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop  4 месяца назад

      You can use the taller hub if you have room between the frame and the existing hub. You only need around 3mm of extra space to fit the larger hub.

      As long as there is clearance to the frame, there's no issues.
