The Final Tubes… Monostay Seatstays - DIY Bike Frame Ep 12

- Episode 12 in my hardtail mountain bike framebuilding series. Fitting and brazing the seatstays. The hard part of this step is making sure the dropouts stay aligned so the rear wheel tracks straight with the frame.
Hobby framebuilder. Video series of me building a new bike frame in my garage. This will be the 8th frame I've built, but my first RUclips video series. The new frame will be built up as a trail bike with a 150mm fork.

I'm a big fan of this playlist from Paul where he builds a Brodie Romax:

Check out this playlist from BikeFarmer @bkefrmr where he builds a lugged steel adventure/touring frame:

lookin good!
Thanks!!
NICE 👍👍

Busting out the torch to fillet braze just like Paul Brodie... Not a lot of people do this when making frames, but it's still cool. Figured you would have a tube notcher but I guess a sanding notcher works just as good, maybe even better for the style of building you are using.... Wish I had a neighbor like you in the Mountains of PA. I have a couple of ideas for an electric BMX bike.... 😁👍
“Just like Paul Brodie” is a stretch, but thanks. 👍👍
@@ThriftyFramebuilder - I'm coming from the bmx industry so I'm used to MIG and TIG on frames, but the few people I watch (like you and Paul Brodie) tend to use brazing before anything else and I appreciate that because it seems like something that is easy to screw up.... It's something I really want to learn too because it seems so handy and can teach you a lot about welding.
👍👍
Supremely jealous of your miter tool… mine is currently a printer, sharpie, and angle grinder, though I’m going for a very different build (electric cargo bike)
👍👍 I did my first 3 frames with files and a hacksaw! Just takes more time and patience.
Cool dude. I can't say I have seen a miter done like that before, but I do see some benefits to it.
👍
Hey nice video !! Not only your skills in brazing and fixturing are crazy but the video quality is really making the whole show just a wonderful experience. Why you made the vent hole under the bridge of the mono seat stays and not on the seat tube ? Is there a mechanical reason for that ? :)
Thanks! The videos have definitely gotten better. Keep your expectations low if you go back to the earlier episodes in the series! No particular reason for the lack of hole between the monostay and seat tube, other than less holes for when the seat tube gets reamed. I could probably get away with fewer vent holes in the stays but I want them drain well.
Assuming you stamp the SN into the BB, how do you stop the shell from deforming/ovalizing from hammering on it?
I stamp the serial number into a copper strip and silver braze it on the bottom of the BB shell. I’ve seen Brodie stamp the shell though, so maybe it isn’t enough force to deform it. I’m guessing it gets done before chasing?
Can you pls do a bmx frame.. ❤❤
If I was 20 years younger and a foot shorter!
