Just one more reason why integrated handlerbars don't make much sense for (most) customers. They do however look sexy! I went with my own separate bar/stem combo because I need a lot of reach and narrower bars. Nice build Jourdain!

The sole thought of having to remove olives, cut hydraulic lines, purge again everything just because you put the wrong stem length, or the handlebar flexes too much, or too little, or you don't get used to the shape ... That gives me some cold sweat. Definitely I prefer handlebars with the depressed parts to put the lines there so they are not felt once wrapped with tape, but always external. Unfortunately these are becoming a rarity ...

Having done a few of these bikes now... I can see why normal bars with semi routed cables or external cables are handy in deed. Everythign has it's place but if you can't do the work yourself it's going to get costly with labour just to change a cable 🤔

@@JourdainColeman I know how to do it, but it is very tedious thing to do for just changing the handlebar for one with a different stem length for instance, or different flare. And I see no obvious advantage apart from the fully hidden cables.

I get that the spacers didn’t fit , but why not just slam the stem and run standard spacers on top. Then order some new spacers or modify the ones you have at a later date ? Now getting a proper fit will be much harder .

I would not cut the fork stem until the bike had been completely assembled and the rider was then fitted to the bike. To cut the stem at that level of assembly means there is no going back.

Shifter housing is always compressionless. Compressionless brake housing is another beast, on top of the longitudinal steel (vs. Spiral on standard brake housing) you have kevlar reinforcement to avoid it "exploding". Therefore compressionless brake housing is very stiff and has a larger diameter. But since you were "only" using shifter housing this is pretty standard... looking forward to Part #2

So couple of things, I've built 3 Chinese direct bikes. Agree the headset spacers is not ideal. But let's remember these are often supplied by a 3rd party and not the manufacturer (personally I think you've just received a bad batch). Sure people will say QC but that's unreasonable to check every single component fitment. If anything it's their supplier that should be doing that. I also wouldn't of compromised fit 10mm (may not sound alot but in bike fitting it does) or not as that could skew your impressions of its ride! But as always a fair review and perspective.

I'd be keen on hearing Johnny's opinion on the mysterious 'air' port on top of the L-Twoo levers. I got a good bleed by inverting and tilting the bike and bleeding as I went. I got a lot of air out of levers and calipers that way, by keeping the bleeding going as I went.

I get that not everyone is mechanically inclined and many want a puzzle piece that all just slot together, and I guess if that’s the case buy from the major manufacturers and you’ll have no issues, and lighter pockets, but there’s a reason that you can build a Chinese setup for a fraction of the price, and for me as someone who builds motorcycles and often fabricated parts from scratch and sounds like for you as well, part of the adventure is tweaking and modifying parts to get that quality build at a bargain price. It’s fun in my eyes.

And there lies the problem. Most people buying China bikes don’t have the tools or experience to get it to work. It’s nice when you have a KZitem channel and get a satisfactory response but I’ve dealt with several people over there and either they don’t understand or even care. The average joe has a much harder time.

Despite the slight issues you had in building I’d still build rather than buy - I see these “ quirks “ as all part it experience and tbh I reckon you may could have filed out the spacer to “ make it fit “ as it wasn’t by much significant of a lip that would affect the structure integrity. Personally I wouldn’t have run it slammed- but to each their own

You cut the steerer tube so short that you can't add the spacer later back in? That makes no sense to me. I would probably have just done some drilling on the spacer so you can align the holes. Or does the bar stem combo prevent having any extra steerer tube?
@dbk81
Жыл бұрын
Agreed, ream out the nub holes on the spacers, it would have been a slightly lose fit until on the stem and tightened down, and at the very least put a spacer on top of the headset in the short term to keep the stem a length that you could later add the new spacers, this was a shortsighted mistake imo to just bail out on the spacers and hack the stem so short.

Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)

Great Video! I've actually bought the Airwolf YFR-066 which is said to be this exact frame. Though i was wondering.. how did you guys route the front deraileur cable housing through there? The removable insert seems to be too tight to fit the entire housing through there like shown in the video. Did you have another one supplied with more clearance? Sorry for the stupid question, just wondering.

NOOO! Don't EVER leave a torque wrench at zero for storage! Always leave it at it's lowest setting above zero (so 2NM for most bike torque wrenches). In fact, it's best practice to NEVER wind a torque wrench to zero.

From a Norbar study: Firstly, four wrenches were taken from our production line and our calibration lab took results. Two wrenches were then left wound up to maximum and two wound down to their minimum scale setting. After 24 hours the calibration lab took further results, and again after a week, then again after one month. The most significant result from the test is that all of the wrenches remained within tolerance, regardless of whether they were left at the minimum scale setting or at their maximum. The wrenches left wound to maximum did move more but the change happened quickly, within 24 hours, and then they stabilised.
