Hi there. Fyi, the clutch on your rear "mech" is intended to be engaged 💯... the only reason it can be disengaged is to make the removal of the rear wheel easier. Engaged, it will keep the chain from scratching your frame or falling off all together. Anyway, thanks for the vid!
@@BigBlueBikes You're welcome and thank you, I have struggled to get the wheel off on this bike for a couple of years and you've just solved it with 1 comment so thank you so much for commenting. This is exactly why i love making bike videos because i learn stuff too. Thanks again muchley. 🚲👌👍 have a lovely day
@powreviews I am, also Tahoe YakFisher... my kayak channel was a covid project but you have inspired me to build a general "outdoors" channel focusing on bikes, skis and mountain travel. Thanks again.
@@BigBlueBikes 😯😯ok so that's amazing, i think it'll definitely be a big hit, I'm going to do a vid riding here where I live soon, so it'll be nice seeing your part of the world, on bikes.. Thanks so much for that, good luck with your new channel 🚲👍
oh yeah i got a Straggler i converted it to a e-bike for communting to Banlieu to Paris and a K.M, i am working on it. I started from the frame and went to different version now i am putting a hydraulic fork and building new wheels for it, in 27, cheerio.
@@powreviews A bicycle i love ? that's a big question Old Peugoet, Bianchi and Motobécanne, 80's road bike or randoneuses. More for the aesthetics and their parts, i love working on old bikes. Commençal cross country fully suspended bikes Orbea's also make so serious enduros fully suspended or hard tails bikes. I came from Bmx and Longboard skates, give me any dirt one and the kid in me make a come back, that's the best therapy. Obviously my two Surly, best bikes i ever owned, the two of them complete my needs. (update the straggler is getting a nexus 3 and the motor is going to another frame, that bike isn't made for that and i hate doing that to it) it's been a moment i ride bikes, for fun or to go to work, or both, i am in my 40,s question do u name ur bikes mine are Turbo for the straggler, Parktool for the K.M and Günter for the cube frame who will get beaten with a bafang mid engine bisous :3
@@funkyfreshanalog3043 wow you're a true bike lover, so much knowledge. I love how bikes bring so much happiness. The best feeling in the world is new bike day that big beautiful box arriving oh can't beat it. Thank you so much for sharing. Im going to go through your bikes and look them all up on the Internet. But the older ones are really intriguing. I love steel frames. ok thanks again pr
Hello. Sweet bike. I did same as you and built by part my Ice Cream Truck with 29 x 3,25 Duro Crux. Even with a fat Tyre bike, the Duro Crux are too big for the rear. It fits but almost no clearance for mud. I recently went on tour and got stuck with mud. I`ve noticed you have a chain tensioner in the rear dropouts. Can you tell me wich one you got, because the ICT and the Karate Monkey have the same type of dropo outs. Thanks you mate
@@ernestomartinez2436 Hi thank you so much, so sorry to hear about your muddy problems. I have Surly Monkey Nuts fitted and they work great. Ice cream truck hashtag well jell, very nice sir, I'd love one or a Wednesday. Thank you for the information about the mud clearance, it's great we can share information we may not find on forums. Anyway I've got to go I'm making another video about the KM but im sharing the prices.. Thanks again have a lovely day 🚲👌👍
