- Dream Build Riverside Touring 920 Sram Eagle AXS 1x12 drivetrain 10-52 XG1275 cassette / 32 T chainring, SP dynamo hub, SunRingle Duroc 30 29" 32 hole rims, DT swiss 350 hub, adventure-bike, 180mm disc brakes, postmount- to flatmount modification, redshift shockstop suspension stem, 142mm non-boost, brooks cambium C15, Vittoria Mezcal III TNT 29" X 2.35
I've been dreaming for years of the Decathlon Riverside Touring 920 ...
unfortunately so few were produced that i was never able to get one ... they were sold out immediately ... no wonder ... with its components it was outrageously cheap.
So I decided to build a bike based on the RT920, like the frame, fork and handlebars that have been back in stock for the past few months ...
I bought all the other parts as soon as I could afford them or as soon as they were available ... which has been very difficult lately ´cause of the pandemic.
The bike that I build is really a beauty and a biest ... but it´s just the basic bike that I will complete into an adventure and bikepacking bike ...
soon I will drop another video about the conversion.
Hope you enjoyed this one!
Just bought one and so happy with the purchase... I already have the riverside touring 520 but this one was always on my radar... Now thinking if I sell the 520 or modify it... congrats on your build!
Thanks for watching ... hope you like the the Bikepacking Set up-Video aswell ... stay tuned. Enjoy your ride!
Dear Pedro. Planning to purchase a 520 but couldn't afford the new bike. Please let me know if you are planning to sell your bike. I am from Berlin, Germany
Great work! Congratulations!
In your opinion, is it possible to mount a SRAM Apex Eagle mechanical 1×12 groupset ?
many thx
Hi Davide,
I don´t know for sure ....
cannot provide remote diagnosis ...
BUT why not?
So I installed an Eagle AXS 1x12 drivetrain. You have to look that the 12cassette fits on your wheel. Check the Apex cassette and what rear hub driver body is suitable. Normaly sram xd driver bodies are used with mountainbike cassettes, The Sram website should offer a compatibility list somewhere.
To check aswell the Apex crankset ... compatible to your bottom bracket ... is the chainline still okay?!
Do some checkings online at Srams compatibility list and instruction manual of the apex groupset and you will succeed.
Good luck ... hope this helps a bit.
Hi, thanks so much for this amazing video. I will receive my brand new RT920 on next week and I am already looking forward to start riding with it. This video gave me some very good ideas on how I could upgrade the bike in a near future, any tips on what should be a good first change or upgrade on a new RT 920 owner??, much appreciated, best regards
Hi,
thanks a lot ...
I answered that topic in the question before ... if you don´t mind to have a look there.
Thanks for the vide0. You like your grease! Lol
Hi Pat,
thanks for watching ... Yes, it´s delicious!
Dear Rick, thank you very much for your detailed build video and novel way of presenting the content.
I love your dream bike build. I am now planning to start my bike packing journey with 520 as I couldn't afford at this point of time to buy or build a 920. Hope one day I will follow your path and build my own dream bike.
Is it possible to present a list of all components you used for this build and links of these components where we can purchase. I am from Berlin and hope one day we cross our paths and participate in a nice bike packing journey with you. I am a new bee and just now starting the fascinating journey of enjoying beautiful German and European nature with a bike and camping.
By the way is there a way to do wild camping in Germany to save some money on stay expenses..?
Thanks for inspiring many with your videos. Looking forward to view your upcoming travel videos. I have already subscribed after viewing your first video.
Hello,
thanks for watching and subscribing. Any bike is good to start with bike packing or touring. I think the 520 is a good choice. At the moment I can´t make a list of all the parts I used ... but maybe in the winter time I find some spare time to drop a list and links in the description.
Congratulations that you decide to explore the world by bike. One of the best decisions you can make ...
Wild camping in germany is forbidden. A biwak for the night is legal. I never had problems with wild camping ... as long as you don´t leave trash or do stupid fire when it´s dry, be quite and don´t disturb your neighbors... so on ...just love nature and be respectful ...treat like you want to be treaten ...
Hope you like the Bikepacking Set up - Video, too ...
Enjoy riding your bike ... stay tuned.
Rick
Very useful video , I have been lucky enough to get a new 920 here in France , hoping to collect it next week . I like 1x drivetrains so your video is just what I was looking for . I'll run the bike as standard for its first 6/12months , then depending how I get on with OE transmission , I'll switch to 1x . Lovely build ,
Hello Jaques,
thanks for watching! Nice that you like this video. Good decision to get one, too. Enjoy your ride and maybe you like the Setup Bikepacking -Video aswell. Stay tuned ...
Rick
@@ricksbikeride Thx for the reply Rick , I made a mistake in that I'm getting the R/Side 900 as I wanted mudguards/lights/pannier racks ready to hit the road , gravel routes are limited here , off road really needs an MTB , however , I have the Triban gravel 120 which I have kitted out for touring , the R/Side 920 has just gone out of stock here , however ,its not on my radar at the moment due to lack of routes to use it , yes , watched the bikepacking set up , some great ideas there , thx.
Great inspiration thanx. Where did you order the wheels? You wrote "SunRingle Duroc 30 29" 32 hole rims, DT swiss 350 hub" but i think you did not put them together your own? Would be great, because the wheels is the last thing i need to order :) Thx
Hi,
Yes you´re right. I thought about it but I decided not to do the work ´cause filming the measeruring and spoke the rim could be difficult. Aswell I don´t have the tools ...
Starbike has wheels and hubs and everything you need ... and I think they ship worldwide. Please check it out first.
All the best.
Rick
Just another question. Somehow the breaks are not fitting. Which Adapters do you use? I ordered some but they are not fitting the holes on the frame… i see you mounting the Adapters at around 12:20 minutes in the Video but did not find them online.
Hi,
the original bike from Decathlon has 160mm discs.
As you can see in the description of my video I used 180mm brake discs and Sram AXS Force brake caliper with flatmount. So I needed a postmount- to flatmount adapter. I installed the wolftooth adapter in my special case ...
Yours could be different ...
You need to know what disc and brake do you have. Then you should find the right postmount adapter ....
Good luck.
Rick
Hi and thanks for your VDO... From a stock model what would you upgrade first? (The most important, in your opinion) All the best and kind regards, Denis
Hi Denis,
my first electronic shifter (Sram AXS) was a game changer ... especially in terms of handling, adjustment and installation. The Eagle group 1x12 drivetrain 32T is for my setup with quiet a lot of weight in bags and waterbottles and for my needs necessary and appropriate.
The Redshift ShockStop Suspension Stem is comfortable for wrist, hand and arms.
And over all I can rely in my own build in terms of lubrication the right stuff and amount at the right places:) I know every screw and this secure feeling is unbeatable while out on the track no matter where.
There are more highlights in my Bikepacking setup - video if you are interested.
Thank you for watching!
Rick
Beautiful build'! And btw what is the black stuff on your hand 44:18
Thanx,
I guess you mean the Top grips from Redshift for the handlebar. This provides a larger, ergonomic hand position on the tops of your bar ...
Especially if you ride straight ahead a lot and for a long time, this position is relaxing and a change in addition to the aerobars and the positions of the rest of the handlebars.
Maybe you like my Bikepacking setup - video, too.
Thank you for watching.
Rick
@@ricksbikeride thank you
@@ricksbikeride yeah, I’m currently riding on a gravel 520 from decathlon, and your bike packing setup really helped me a lot when deciding what bags to put on my bike.
Hey, great job 👍🏻
I'm one of the lucky ones who catched a complete bike. Was waiting almost a year for it...
But I'm ogling for a AXS gear shift all the time. Maybe next winter...🤩
Hello Klaus,
oh lucky man ... enjoy it!
How much does the whole bike weigh?
Hello Grzegorz,
the naked bike weighs around 12kg ...
Thanks for watching. maybe you like the Bikepacking-set up video, too.
Rick
Funny thing: with that type of a headset it's now more difficult to place your bike inside the car cause of the built-in steering restrictors in the cup.
Hi Andrey, hope you like my build. If not, tell me what you don´t like ... I think, I don´t really understand your objection .... the "restrictors" give a better stand when loaded. Aswell easier to carry while crossing rough terrain ... Steering lock is usually installed to prevent the handlebar from banging against the down or upper tube.The limitation of the steering angle also helps against torn brake lines and shift cables if installed. In that sense, it makes sense for many possibilities ... no negative reason for me. Did you watched: How to setup bikepacking ... installing Aerobars, klite charger + light, bags and packs?
Hope you like that .... !
Hello! Thank you for a beautiful video. I’m thinking of building the 920 too. Would you mind sharing a link to what kind of derailleur hanger you used?
Hello Karolis,
thanks for watching!
I used the original derailleur hanger from Decathlon:
www.decathlon.de/p/schaltauge-rockrider-xc-am-und-riverside-rt/_/R-p-198643?mc=8513683&c=schwarz
You find a lot of good parts there entering "Riverside"...
Good decision. Maybe you like my bikepacking and race-setup video, too ...
Rick
@@ricksbikeride Thank you!
@@ricksbikeride One last question - where did you get the thru axles? My decathlon is saying that the frames come without them, and I’m looking to buy something that fits.
Hi Karolis,
front: 12x100; rear: 12x142 ...I can´t remember what kind I bought ... there exist so many companies ...
www.decathlon.de/p/steckachse-vorderrad/_/R-p-195651?mc=8512140
and I Think for rear I have Shimano AX-MT500 ...
hope that helps ...
Great build. I'm thinking about buying complete bike or building one like you did, specially that I've many parts that I can reuse (full Rival XPLR ACX Group, Wheels)
I have couple questions:
Can you write a bit more about those cushions (or what is it) that you've out on bars?
What was quality of frame, I'm particularlt interested in BB and HT, did you have to ream faces?
Which parts come with frame? (any screws, axles, etc...)
Do you have dynamo hub? If yes how do you like it?
Thanks. I've already subscribed to you channels as those two videos that you've share are really great quality content.
Hi Lukasz, nice that you like my videos. I am pleased that you are also interested in building a bike. That's why I made these videos, among other things ... So that my audience learns something and your own build is easier for you. So, you told me that you perhaps want to build a bike too. Congrats for this thoughts ... because it´s really a journey into parts and the whole structure ... good to know every single part of your bike while bikepacking around unexplored areas:) But it´s a decision of time, money, fun or anger ...
As you can read in the description of the DreamBuild-Video I always wanted to have this special bike: RT920. But it was out of stock for months and months ... So I couldn´t wait anymore and decided to build my own custom bike based on the RT920. If you want an RT920 you should buy a complete one, because it´s now in stock again at Decathlon. The complete bike with all installed parts is unbeatable in terms of price. if you buy all the components individually, you'll never get the Decathlon price!!!! So I would have bought the bike, offered at Decathlon and then, if necessary, gradually swapped the drivetrain and brake system for a Sram AXS GX Eagle and Force brakes. There is now also the extremely durable new SRAM Eagle Transmission, but is also much more expensive ... Whether your XPLR fits here, I can not say. You'd have to do some research to see if this would fit in a 142 frame with a BB68/73, chainline!?... there exist an Sram Service sheet to that, where you find out, which parts fit together ... My Mullet AXS GX Eagle will definitely fit.
To your questions:
On the bars I installed the REDSHIFT SPORTS Cruise Control handle. They give you more rest on along day, reduce vibrations and - installed in the right angle like I did - reduce pain in your wrist.
The frame is really well and nice! welded frame. Everything is exact and no ream needed. For that price it´s unbelievable.
No other parts with the frame. It´s naked.
For sure there is a dynamo hub. It´s a SHUTTER PRECIONS DL-7. So far it´s very good working.
If at the time when I built the bike a SON 28 dynamo hub would have been availble, I would have choosen that one ... but it was´nt availeble ´cause of the pandemic ... and it costs more than twice as the one I used now. SON is extremly good and I have one on another bike that is working now for 10 years without any problems!
Thank you for subscribing!
Any questions left?
Have a good time ....
@@ricksbikeride thanks for reply :) I've checked compatibility map and yes it will work :) I'll skip dynamo hub for the moment as I've DT GR1600 wheelset from my previous gravel bike which I never liked, the frame was to small and tires to narrow. Do you have FB acount, I'll share my pics when I finish my bike.
Hi, no facebook. You find me on Instagram same account name ... I really would like to have a look!!!
Hi I would change disks brake from 160 to 180 you did it, so you confirm me that fork support that change? Thanks SIMONE
Hi Simone,
thanks for watching my dream build - video.
As you can see I converted front and rear brakes from original 160 to 180. You can nearly do that with every frame and fork ... important is the right adapter to the right brakes. I used the wolftooth post to flat mount adapter to install my flatmount disc caliper Sram force etap AXS. The distance between brake disc and fork is around 5mm.
Think about if the conversion is worth it. New brake disc, adapters, possibly brakes ... to the value of a bigger brake disc ...
I hope this will help you ...
Maybe you like the setup bikepacking - video, too.
Stay close to nature with your bike.
Rick
@@ricksbikeride Thanks for the answer Rick, i would use the originals brakes and just change discs so it should cost me relatively a little, so to speak, discs cost and adapter cost...
hallo sorry for my english... i have a question : is possible on this frame and fork instal brake system disc shimano mountain bike with flat bar ????? the frame and the fork support brake model standard mountain bike ?? thanks
Hello Andrea,
In general, many components can be connected together. When it comes to the brake system, there are many adapters for different mounts such as flatmount, postmount or IS.
Please contact Decathlon Service e.g. on the RT920 bicycle frame page, where you can ask specific questions about the frame and your components you want to use.
However, the frame is intended as a touring bike with drop bars .... you have to find out if the a flat bar makes sense for your own dimensions ....
In my experience I would suggest that this frame is excellent with the intended fork. And they are great value for the money.
But you can build what ever you want, but you have to dive into the exact measurements by yourself if want to build a custom bike ....
Good luck!
touring 520 has the dynamo and frame, but in prussian blue. buy a used bike for the cheap frame.
Awesome buid ! Original shifters works with axs ? also original x1 crankset ?
Hi, thanks for watching. This is my custom build! No!! The original shifters and group that Decathlon uses is a Sram Rival and a Sram NX crankset.... I used a Sram Force AXS brake with shifters and a GX Eagle AXS Group set and Sram AXS chain... Called mullet. You can only combine components from the AXS system. There is a service sheet from Sram for this issue. Go to Sram SERVICE HUB ... AXS COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY
Hope you stay tuned for upcoming videos like the conversition into bikepacking and race bike with bags, cages, aerobars, light and mounts ...
@@ricksbikeride thanks for your detailed reply ! Sure I just described to see what’s coming :)
Awesome!I would like to ask what brand and specification Head Parts are, and where can I buy them? Thank you.
Thank you very much. Ahead cap is wolf tooth. Ahead set is a normal one. Decathlon 1 1/8 semi-integrated headset with steering stop and normal aluminum spacers. Is that what you want to know? Exist in different sizes ...Do you have access to Decathlon? Where you from? For what frame do you need the head-set?
Or you was asking about the stem? This is:
redshiftsports.com/products/shockstop-suspension-stem
Let me know if I can help you more ...
Rick
Wow, really good job! Well done ✅👍
How is the average speed?
Im still deciding if i shall buy this bike from decathlon and use it beside Backpacking also for classic gravel/road riding or buy a separate bike for gravel/roads terrain.
Hi David,
thanks for watching and that you like the video and build.
The average speed of the bike depends on the terrain and load, riders weight ... so ... difficult to answer. Fast?!
I´m very happy with my build ... and as I wrote in the description, I would have happily bought the bike if it had been in stock at decathlon and then made my custom changes ... but it was´nt. Aswell I would have saved a lot of money ... the bike is a good allrounder: bikepacking, graveling or whatever. Just go to your local decathlon store and try it ... hope you like the Setup-Video aswell ... stay tuned.
Rick
@@ricksbikeride maybe it would be better buy a separate bike for road/gravel routes.
Yes, you did a great job there, not many people would go this hard way you chose. Keep up good work! 👍✌️
I have found out that this bike is now on sale here for 1399,- € here. But you actually cannot try it, just order it. In worst case I will return the bike if it doesn't fit me well.
That´s a good occasion ... anyway ... good luck!
Awesome job! Is this the carbon or the Riverside 900 alloy fork?
Hello, nice that you like my build. This is the Riverside Touring 920 V2 fork. This is a carbon fork with an aluminum shaft. This fork was also factory installed from 2021 if you were lucky enough to buy one of the few complete bikes from Decathlon.
If you carefully watch the video again, you can see the Touring 920 imprint on the fork at the beginning and end. Thank you for your interest and have fun!

Надеюсь, это помогло вам...
@@ricksbikeride спасибо!
You show copious amount of video with you greasing everything but you leave out bits like setting up the headset press
Hello,
I'm sorry if you are dissatisfied with my content. This is probably due to your personal, individual expectations.
Many people forget to add the right grease in the most important places and then, when removing it, wonder why it can't be removed so easily without destroying the frame or why it doesn't function as expected.
Setting up the headset press is as follows:
You just popp it in and than as you can see from 4:35 min. how to screw it in; setting up is the opposite of expanding - as you can see in the following seconds ...
You really live up to your name. You could also simply ask: how do you set up the headset press? ...
instead of criticizing me for my other activities in my video. Nobody is forcing you to keep watching it. If you can do it better, do one yourself.
