- Alright, the final part is in, as well as a few other new bits to scratch that weight number a bit more. The universe did try to stop me though!

the way he say Schmokle is so fun. isnt ist Schmolke Kumpel?
Hence the apology in the beginning ;)
@@ridesofjapan I like your pronounciation, perhaps Schmolke should turn their name into Shmokle, sounds more international to me.
@@holgerwagner3291 sounds like a cut version of shmock
Threads are dorked up from factory - no worries, I’ll just tap them out myself.
You, sir, are my type of people. Lol.
More importantly, how much weight was removed with that thread metal?
Kudos for even having a tap kit on hand. 👏🏻
Man just makes sundays much better. Appreciate the high quality work.
I agree with this 100% after waking up with tears in my eyes. This video made me happy. Thank you, Rides of Japan.
Have to agree, slept in this morning, woke up, and wondered if there was a new ROJ video. Sure enough 😎
Do you appreciate the films of Jude law? Man is sleepyman right now. +1 if you get this!
Love the builds, the attention to detail and the humour. Fabulous
Dude, I love your channel! I'm a 100% MTB guy that knows nothing about your weird road bikes and I stumbled across your channel a week or so ago and have been binge watching every episode since. Easily one of the best channels on You Tube!
Appreciate the kind words mate! Cheers!
Not a weight weenie, but enjoy watching someone pursuing their passion with such good humor, intensity and $$$. Enjoy the videos and appreciate the production quality.
I really like the variety of topics and parts you cover on your videos. Keep up the amazing vids.
Absolutely loving all your videos. Please keep them coming.
Tremendous. I hope you just keep on making these. Such high quality video, humour and content. I don't know what you do for a living but bike companies should be queuing up to hire you.
Amazing video man! But next time give us more bike shots at the end since it is so so beautiful! (Or some of the nice mountain views at least)
I’ll see what I do in the future, once it get warmer.
The camera work in your videos is always beautiful, always a pleasure to watch.
Schmokle... *lol* I love it... Great build congrats! I will always think about you when I see Schmolke parts from now on...
Keep going man it’s great to watch you try
Your films always make me smile!! Thankyou
Love it. Going light just for the fun of it. I'm doing that to my older rim brake S-Works road bike now. It was a particularly light aluminum frame that year. Anodized instead of painted too. Extra light.
Looks awesome !!! ( I also like the cap thing going on )
A guy that taps it's own thread is on a whole new level !
Thanks for the high quality content and I feel your “returns” pain. Ordered a Garmin Pro Vibe stem mount from Australia to the UK and they sent the incorrect short version so I ordered it again at full price, financially it hurt but looks great. The Trek looks amazing especially the colour.👏👏👏👏
effects and editing are so well done
Sweet add ons, that derailleur hanger is beautiful, worth every penny
Man this is why I dont mind not getting lots of videos from you. They are all soo well done, the recording, the editing, everything. I'm pretty sure its takes a lot of time to do that. Kudos for all your vids 👍🏾
Cheers mate!
Love the thread tapping!!
Great work! Keep on droppin!
"I've definitely finished ...." words an addict says everyday. Perhaps a 10-step program will help. :)
As usual, such a wonderful story and video👍
Love the vid man, first one I've seen from you. I've subscribed! looking to produce my own vids like this in the future, thanks man :)
Love the colour! I got purple flip on my Emonda ALR 5 and I LOVE IT!!
You’re a surgeon! I salute you! 😬
You should add a "kitching", cash register sound effect, every time you say the grams saved.
And multiple ones on final weight revelation.
as someone who rides a 15-kg steel bike with a 3*9, I love your attention to grams. :D. cheers from a long-time subscriber (from the Niner days)
Appreciate you staying around mate! I might have some metal weenie content sometime in the future ;)
@@ridesofjapan come on, do a weight weenie all-steel build!! do it for commoners like us!!
@@ridesofjapan yes, please. That would get VIEWS. Nobody does that. Frame that comes to mind is the new Fairlight Strael.
Beautiful! Still waiting on my Schmolke haul (stem, bars, wheels and seat post)....
realy nice looks on the stem/handle bar combo :)
Yours are the only videos I choose to watch at 1x. Just next level.
oh man! been waiting for your video and it just came out)
Every new ROJ video is like a fine wine, wonderful when new ones become available and they are to be savoured and enjoyed. I really look forward to each video. Quality and humour is great.
Appreciate the kind words mate 🙏
great build
Beautiful
Stem on beautiful bike
been waiting for this video 😁😁😁, cant't. wait forr the next one.. cheers
I recently bought some seat clamps ears things from trek as well, to mount my first carbon rail saddle. When I went to the shop I looked at the ears and they also had some different sizes! But when I told the bike shop guy, he told me that it is on purpose, apparently so you can slide the saddle in easier while mounting, and it does look good when mounted on the bike!
Been waiting for your new upload
So, so nice the look of that stem on those handlebars. And I do really appreciate you’re one of the few not so overly sponsored advertising RUclips icons :-) Keep up the great work man.
“Don’t be that guy at the back in the party, that broke up with his girlfriend, and is negative and like, “mleh, mleh, mleh”’
🤣🤣🤣👌
Loved every minute of your commentary..... LOL Thank you Sir.
Excellent video, shows that not all goes to the plan with non-stock parts
Luvin your work
I am greatly pleased to see you operating taps. Would have preferred that was not necessary but you are "getting it done!".
Congrats Tobias
Well really good job done on the whole bike setup, top components, well thought everything....
*JUST* one thing on the bike that i have to point out.
The headset solution is outrageous on such a bike, there must be a solution for another cable guidance piece under the stem, maybe you could get one from someone who 3D prints one following exact mesurements but changing the shape. The top edge should be straight and not curved like the original.
Anyways, always top quality videos from you and great guidance about how to upgrade bikes with well thought ideas, keep on rocking man!
Love your vids and the ‘snappy’ content 👌👍😁
Soooo much fun! Its impossible not to like you.💚
Life goals
Nice work.
You probably hit the printed weight of the direct hanger after tapping it out!
As they say, "when life sends you lemons with poor threading, make some hard lemonade." Super rad setup!
Overall good mood, good bike
Scales work on either springs or strain gauges which are made of metal and are affected by temp.
love the attention to detail :-)
Excellent work - please never change! “I’m done with expensive parts”, I immediately thought yeah right 😂🙈
What’s the blue jacket you’re wearing btw, looks really good?
It's from Black Sheep Cycling
Cheers!
Haha. You are halarious. Love it!
The tune bottle cages come with a rubber type part that is scewed on the inside to prevent the both to do exactly how you showed. I got for both my bottle cages one so might be that you need to order from Europe if you need the rubber part. I really dig these tune ones they look soo cool. Thanks for the recommendations.
to prevent the bottle* (sorry for typing is late for a cyclist)
Love it, especially the closing scene 😀 One contented rider..................................................................................................................................................for now!
Looks like he went and got Carbon-ti disc rotors!!! That must be 30 grams each!?!
Great vid. as usual. Wondering if you ever tried Darimo products from Spain (seat post, stem, handlebars), ....probably the lightest components to find out there. Might be worth having also a look at the carbon spring Gelu F1 seatpost? Keep it up. Always a blast to watch your channel.

Cheers!
Nice work! Don't stop because E.G.M.!
I also bought the J&L trek size thru axels for my 2020 Crockett. The hole won’t retain the handle, but I didn’t like the handle anyway, you know being extra weight 😆.
I’m sticking with my Kalloy stem and band garmin mount haha, not for 10g.
And here I am trying to shed off some weight from my rigid Easton Whiskey Pete(Cykel City brand) with xt disc brakes. Think I will go back to my crossmax for v-brakes as disc brakes are so much heavier and not really that much better than ceramic coated rims and v-brakes.
Your vids always tease the weight weenie I so desperatly want to hide for my own good.
It’s a really nice bike, well done getting it down to that weight and nicely built up too.
This has been my Dilemma with disc brake bikes, it’s so hard to get them down to this weight, in the end I went with a rim brake Bianchi Specialissima as I only weigh 53 kilos so rim brakes stop me no problem, it built up to 6.1 kilos without having to try too hard, just standard Sram red Etap 2x set up, Campagnolo Bora wheels, and that weight includes the pedals, power meter, Garmin mounts and bottle cages, now if I had spent £1100 on THM Carbon brake callipers it would be under 6 🤔, tune qr skewers would take another 50g off 🙈, Lightweight wheels another 200g off, oh this is going to cost me 🤪
Please keep up the good work with great quality videos.
Its an addiction. DOn't fight it. Embrace it
R.O.J. show must go on 🤙🏽
world class weight weenies, nice build
That was an expensive 10g on the stem. And totally worth it for the blinging aesthetic. 👌
Dude, I admire your weight obsession! Ride on!
Bike24 says .36 grams per mm of carbon spacer. The new stem's clearance issue added 1.46g in spacers. Phew, I was worried for you, but still a net savings of 8.94g with the new stem and spacers. Bravo! Love the build and your work!
But, spacer above the stem decreased as well ;)
Thanks for the video, I’m curious to know if you had any issues with the Trek seat mast ears clamping the Lupina saddle rails! I ask because whilst claimed 7x9mm rails the Lupina actually measures 7x8.5mm, I’d like to put the Lupina on my Madone having purchased the correct size ears but wasn’t sure if it would take up that 0.5mm missing from the claimed size.
Thank you
Been thinking about one of the new Specialized Alpinest handlebar stem combos. Not cheap.
Nice video
You know, getting a propper Mountainbike opens up a whole smorgasbord of other light parts to get...
How low can you go...? :-)
He's having enough of a time trying to keep his road bike upright!
Also, probably no space in Japanese apartment...
I don't even ride a road bike but I still like your videos
You can buy some NOW8 disc rotors they are only 88 gram in 160mm so much lighter than dura ace
Good thing you clarified what you're OCD about. Gorgeous stem
Beautiful
Excellent video once again.
What are your experiences with 1x on the road bike? It seems like you are riding a fair amount of mountains - do you feel like something is missing or are you, for example, struggling with the lightest gears? Has this been a topic in another video of yours? Thanks!
Yep, ruclips.net/video/MQTPvhp5n3Q/видео.html
Cheers!
@@ridesofjapan Thanks!
Great video_that thing is a beast! What Oakleys are those?
Evzero Stride
Cheers!
Bike’s looking awesome! Where did you get those extenders for your wrench. I have the exact same issue.
Include with some cheap tool/bit kits... one might actually have come with my electric screwdriver from IKEA now that I think about it 😅
Cheers!
Quality vid
Awesome !
I see that you have the stock Trek top cap at first , reminds me of my mountain bike lol.
Yep, I use the sturdy one to set the preload, once the stem is fixed I swap for the weenie cap ;)
I think it look's nicer on the cockpit with all the carbon :)
So on a weight saving theme scratch of the front half of the eight on the T-shirt and bingo 6.3 😁
Hey mate are you still using those light bike wheels on the emonda? Any long term feelings? Cheers man!
Would you mind sharing some experiences with the THM/Schmolke stem and handlebar combination? I have to say i really like the look of them and would like to know what you say especially regarding stiffness, ergonomics and other aspects that you deem relevant.
Stiff as a rock ;) I’m a feather weight though and never experience a stem I deemed flexy. Bars are stiffer than the 3t superghiaia I came from, but that’s not saying much. The drops are similar to the 3t ergonova but the tops are less oval, and feel slightly thicker/“girthier” definitely not aero if your in to that malarkey ;)
@@ridesofjapan Thank you very much for sharing your impressions!
How did you know the thread count and tap size on the direct mount hanger? keep up the great videos!
It the same dimensions on all hangers/detailers :)
Hey mate, watched this so many times and the build video while waiting for my SLR! I was wondering if you considered one of the direct mount hangers for some extra weight loss? If you ruled it out, curious as to why!
Haha, forgive me for laughing, but if you watched THIS video is so many times… that’s a very strange question to ask😁. You should watch it one more time and you will find the answer I’m sure 😜
@@ridesofjapan hahaha holy crap 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. I have been skipping around them so much for ideas that my brain didn’t register it. I even use the time stamps to make it easier and I missed it…. 😂😂😂
Nice weenie work.. Love it.
Cloth handlebar tape off ebay will say you some grams. It's cheap but there is no padding at all .
I prefer it that way though as like to feel the bar.
Did you remove the shims behind your brake discs? If I remember correctly you installed them on those wheels, and I guess you won’t be using them on the Open anymore, right? Thanks for all the quality entertainment and information.
Not in this video... they have been removed since though.
Man, TLO stands for The Lightest ONE (not "Only")
looks like you got a bit of steerer you could chop there, too!
The top spacer is taller than it needs to be, didn’t have the correct size, but yeah, I could cut it a few mm more... however the stack of a darimo stem is 47mm ;) #futureproofing
I'm new to your channel, and I love your videos (and your location). I thought my new carbon fibre bike was light, coming in at around 10.5kg (coming from a 17kg mountain bike lmao). 6.29kg is insane! Do you ever go over the total cost of the bike? I'm curious how much this beautiful machine cost. Thanks!
Cheers mate!
Don’t know how much... and I don’t think I want to know hehehe.
The oldest parts are from 2017 and has been on 4 different bike already, so it’s old stuff that gets used as I build up new bikes. But on parts price alone it would be more expensive than the top complete trek emonda slr SKU... but I don’t really want to think about it 😅
@@ridesofjapan lmaoo can't say I blame you for not wanting to think about it, but the result is seriously jaw dropping, and the knowledge that you built it yourself! I'd love to do that one day. Enjoy it as much as you can! :D
Hey Tobias! What can you say about this new stem in terms of stiffness to compared with Kalloy UNO or Extralite stems?
Put a blindfold on me and I can’t tell the difference. Only time I felt difference in cockpit stiffness is going from the t3 superghiaia handlebar to the thm ulna, (thm is stiffer)
I am a featherweight though.
I think you can change the grx for something lighter for sure, maybe xtr is lighter or even duraace is able to handle that big cogs
It's the same weight as the XTR (Smaller motor)
What brand is your cycling jacket and where can I buy it? It looks awesome!
Last years black sheep Tokyo ltd...will be hard to find it anywhere now I’m afraid.
Curious about all the QC problems with this high-end-super-expensive gear.
Have you looked at hope rx4 brake calipers already? They seem light
And at the moment crazy hard to find online. Or, to be more precise, the color you want always seem to be out of stock, the other colors aren't. In the end I actually got the orange calipers I wanted, but it wasn't easy to find any retailer that had them in stock. Also, considering how much power they have, I expect a lightweight guy like Tobias on a 6.29 kg bike to risk going OTB when braking. :)
just a question here, with the $$$$ spent could you have bought 2 - 13kg bikes ?
