Well I for one really look forward to & enjoy Brants Vlogs & Videos of his Bike Builds and upgrades how to do's and Bike checks or whatever etc... Good on him! He deserves it! He's enjoyable to watch his shows! Keeps us old 66 plus geezers blood flowin' and want to get back into it and feel young again and wish we could do those tricks. Plus he's from Ohio where half my family is from as a bonus! 😂 Keep on BMXin'! Peace! ✌️
Great vid. Sorry I didn’t explain the brake mount design better. But it’s definitely to me an extra bit of detail that shows the quality of the s&m frames I really appreciate! I friggin love my btm.
In my opinion you are a perfect F-it for S&M because you do you no matter what and that's what S&M bmx is about, staying true to yourself and having fun period. Just my opinion
Hey Brant, how are you diggin your new bikes and being a part of the S&M/F-IT Family?? Hope everything's been going great, man! Super stoked for you! 🤙😝🤙
@@Brant_Moore yeah with time stamp! here is my time stamp: @31:50 , you mentioned the cable housing having a "kink" which reminded me, the kink brakes has been "desist"ed. also, why not oil the cable housing as well? if reducing friction is the name of the game, a little oil would help. i forgot which company makes cable housing that has teflon (or something) coating on the inside of their cable housing. and this video is by far, of all the "bike build/bike check" ive seen, the the longest and most detailed i've ever watched. and lucky you on those key chains!!!
You start with ,”the moment we have all been waiting for”. I don’t think “we” really have been waiting or even excited about you getting a new bike. It was a great video other than that line. Looks great I hope you’re enjoying the new bike
@@Brant_Moorebrotha man, you have gotten me all sorts of obsessed with Alienation. Love the videos. Getting back into bmx after a small 20 year break. You’re the man!!
@@Brant_Mooreso far, I have a set of the Circle Jerks and my Iron Maiden Stem just arrived yesterday. Next will be a Starship guard sprocket, some turquoise Foot Fetish pedals, the Turquoise smoke Backlash grips, & turquoise Gripper seat. Building up a Fiend Raekes in green with Tuku bars and Odyssey where I can’t go Alienation. You and the mohawk guy from Nowear inspired this!! 😂
Brant, I use a mechanics pick to "ream" out the cable liner before running the cable through. Much better than using an allen key. I use the little orange set from Harbor Freight. It's like $1-2.
I dig it, looking good brother. Now I would say use a dab of blue locktite on the gyro tab bolts and have someone tac weld those brake mounts on, which should help stiffen up the brakes slightly. Those brakes are sick with the bearings like the revenge industries brakes from a few years back. I'm glad to see someone has brought back the brakes with bearings!
@@x88868not really the point is so the frame works for people going brakeless and people being braked, if you're braked why bother having it removable
Nice build. Ain't gonna lie.... a little "green" with jealousy. 😅 again very informative on small hiccups with new builds. Man you kids got it made....🤣🤣 back in the 80's we never had awesome builds like this. Paper routes didn't pay that well....🤣🤣🤣🤣 JK... great content. Got another old guy bmx'er fan.
Brant, I started crushing old spoke nipples on the end of brake cables “with a pair of vice grips” to keep the cable ends from fraying. We talked before about the crummy aluminum brake cable tips always falling off. The nipples crush on super strong. Give it a try! I dare you!
Hey Brant, is it better to have a 28T sprocket with this frame? I have the BTM XL and I used a 25t and the axle is at the back of the dropout…I haven’t tried to slam it but idk if it would work. Maybe a 28T would make it better bc the 25t made the peg hang off the dropout a bit. Hoping to alleviate that! Thanks for you help.
Damn nice bike Brant, but why are you still struggling to put grips on with a compressor? Just pop them onto the end of the bar and gently pat them on with your palm, usually go in 3 taps or so depending on the rigidity of the grip.
Duuude you could maybe get s&m to make certain things better for gyro riders. Gyros clear headtubes. Taller headtube frames can have them drilled a touch lower to save on steerer room. Dual frame guides. Real good for gyros, just get some removable style dual cable guides and you can keep your cabling really out of the way.
Seat post and brake levers were the transfer over. Or like a headset dust cap if I found a cool one. Seat clamps sre mostly built into frames now so those don't work. Ti bolts could maybe.
How do you like the Venus hub vs a BSD revolution? I liked my revolution until it decided not to freecoast every once in awhile. I've had it apart 5000 times. I've tried every trick out there to stop the issues, but I just don't trust it anymore. I've flipped back 3 times now from the hub staying engaged.
Old head here, I'm watching the bottom bracket going in thinking the mid is not that much different in size than the American. The American was a better design in my opinion it really wasn't that much heavier and if you wanted to change the bearings out it was a hell of a lot easier.
I appreciate the genuine constructive criticism. It's okay for people not to like something and you both prove it's entirely possible to be respectful about it
The whoooole time Brant was setting up the Front End I kept saying to myself relax, it's for better gyro/cable pull! My wife kept telling me off lol! But, but! He could at least get a Stacked Headset Cap!! Wife = Eye Roll 😂
Somehow I've never thought about it that way until you said that. You're absolutely right about how much time it wastes when the t handles are just a better tool for the job
@@Brant_Moore Yes!! thank you so much for that. Am so honoured to have my Odyssey keychain feature in your new bike build or any of your bikes. I wished I kept a few more of them chains for ya future bikes✌🏼

I appreciate you man!!! You’re always so positive and supportive, it’s really awesome!
Also,
O-H!
I keep waiting to see a front brake, we will bring you over to the dark side one day.
Sick bike!!! Congrats on the new ride!
I have a whole front brake bike but I just never seem motivated to ride it for some reason
Great vid. Sorry I didn’t explain the brake mount design better. But it’s definitely to me an extra bit of detail that shows the quality of the s&m frames I really appreciate! I friggin love my btm.
To be fair its a hard thing to describe in words..haha
Bike is a beast! Wish you had the teal handlebars on it. Look freakin sweet if so. But that's me. 🤘🏽😁
So we actually saw when Karl was out here the it was a good thing we didn't try to go with the teal bars. They're two different colors of teal
In my opinion you are a perfect F-it for S&M because you do you no matter what and that's what S&M bmx is about, staying true to yourself and having fun period. Just my opinion
I really appreciate that man because that's exactly what I do and it feels pretty amazing to think that they wanted to work with me because of that!

53:29 you need some park tool up-1,2,3 Utility Pick Set to open the ends of the break housing 👍🚲💨
You're the second person to say that so I think you're right!
Awesome couldn't wait to see this video beautiful bike man congrats again on your new journey with s&m
Thank you!! It's been incredible so far!
Hell yeah! I have an older BTM and absolutely love it

kind of annoys me when youtubers make it out like we just can't wait for their content
@byc1013 Except there were people who had been waiting to see this and I had them in mind when I said it, not either of you
@@Brant_Moorebrotha man, you have gotten me all sorts of obsessed with Alienation. Love the videos. Getting back into bmx after a small 20 year break. You’re the man!!

Hell yea, thank you!! If you buy directly from S&M, make sure you use my code to save yourself some money when you buy it!
Dude, that looks fantastic!
Thank you!! I'm so stoked!
I’m in love with this bike you built!!
That's a sweet rig
Love all the detail!
Sooooo clean.
Sweet brant
was waiting on this very smart bike dude a keeper
No doubt about it!!!

Yea but that just makes sense! hahaha That's such a good idea and Park Tool does make a set
Angled brake mounts are genius
Agreed!!!
What a beautiful build!
You should try Carbon Grip Paste instead of sanding the stem, it works really well for me!
hell nah
@@Cheesicle_ Grip paste is used all the time on other types of bikes for this exact purpose, BMX is no different.
Looking sweet brant love the colour sick as hell man 🤟
it's a beauty man.
Thanks dude!! See ya saturday, unless this is a different Thomas Miller. hahaha
@@Brant_Moore nah, unless you are planning to go to germany ;)
Haha different Thomas Miller!!
I would like to visit one day though
Looks awesome ❤
Thank you!!!
I have waited long enough finally
The wait is OVER!!
I love the design of your tukubars!

It appears so but you can go to NowearBMX.com and then go to the shop. And if you decide to buy some you can use the code “BRANT” to save -0%
10%
that fufanu at the end was insane!!
There's a fufanu in here? It's been so long I forget
@@Brant_Moore made you look lol, it was just a joke. I was fantasizing about pulling tricks on that build XD
Haha you got me good
Now that is one Rad Rig !
hoooooooooot ! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I agree!!!!
its disgusting... disgustingly beautiful... great build.
Haha thank you!!!
Siick youre making me want to build a bmx. and I'm a dj guy.
No reason you can’t have both!
I also might know a guy who can save you some money off an S&M or Fit!

Tac weld break mounts? Totally defeats the purpose of having removable brake mounts.
If you’re never going to take them off what’s the purpose of them being removable?
@@x88868not really the point is so the frame works for people going brakeless and people being braked, if you're braked why bother having it removable

new bike looks awesome ! stoked on those new brakes , can you run them as front brakes ?
We’re confident in them working as fronts. I need to check
Damn nice bike Brant, but why are you still struggling to put grips on with a compressor? Just pop them onto the end of the bar and gently pat them on with your palm, usually go in 3 taps or so depending on the rigidity of the grip.

Indeed. No disrespect.. every one likes other stuff.. sick bike with out dout..
I appreciate the genuine constructive criticism. It's okay for people not to like something and you both prove it's entirely possible to be respectful about it
@brant are you going to review the new kink desist ll u brake 🤔
Do you grease the seatpost?
Just curious..., Not go for BTM Xl to eliminate all them stem washers?
I don’t mind the spacers at all. That taller head tube on the XL also raises the gyro tabs in a way that gives less room for brake pull
@@Brant_Moore Sure, ok Fairplay.
The color on the regular BTM too. Haha
The whoooole time Brant was setting up the Front End I kept saying to myself relax, it's for better gyro/cable pull! My wife kept telling me off lol! But, but! He could at least get a Stacked Headset Cap!! Wife = Eye Roll 😂
😎👍🤙
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I wanna know what that beanie is or where u got it from
You forgot to grease your seat post bruh...
You need a set of T handle keys. The multi tool wastes so much time and effort
Somehow I've never thought about it that way until you said that. You're absolutely right about how much time it wastes when the t handles are just a better tool for the job
@@Brant_Moore nice build BTW. The brake routing mods are 🔥🔥🔥
"So many people have been messaging me saying build the BTM!!"
Who would harass you in such a way!? 😅
I WONDER!!! hahahaha
Everything on it is dope, except that cheap looking G-Sport hub guard on the front wheel.
What other guard protects that much of the spokes though?
Cut them nails 💅🏿!
They don’t make the odyssey key chain anymore ?
Nope, you have one? I want it. hahaha
Nice bike idk why people pick wal mart bmx colors
This color matches me so well though
Does he say the top tube length ?
If not, it’s a 21”
@@Brant_Moore Thank you Brant. Thanks also for helping the sport btw.
Doing my best every day! Thank you!
Duude... I tried to adjust my kids brakes on his new bike. Its really hard with the gyro. front wheel wasnt so bad. rear wheel is terrible.
Why don’t you ever cut the fork tube down anymore than one spacer looks so silly in my opinion
I’ve never cut a fork tube and like my trail bike to feel the same as my park bike. I also don’t mind spacers at all
Oh come on, that stem tightening patern will have no effect on a split stem like yours stop being silly 😂😂😂😂
I say it for everyone with a conventional stem cap
Finally
You right!
First!!!! She's a beaut
Thank you!!!! Did you catch your shoutout?!?!
@@Brant_Moore Yes!! thank you so much for that. Am so honoured to have my Odyssey keychain feature in your new bike build or any of your bikes. I wished I kept a few more of them chains for ya future bikes✌🏼

U forgot to put on ur training wheels ya big girl
Damn bro you took soo long to build this? Was expecting more dialed
hahahahaha this bike as it is at Rays at the end could not possibly be more dialed
