Love this but you didn’t mention the fenders! They really set it off with the complete commuter vibe.

Cantis look cool. I’m glad that you made them work. But I just use V-brakes. I can make them work. Shimano T4000. Cheap, strong.

I have that microshift 1x10 setup too but I have the thumb shifter and run it friction mode and love it that way. Might be a work around if you can’t get the hanger straightened out.

My dude, you really need a third hand tool. Especially for setting your cantis. Literally life changing. That "brake booster" is so cool though, I think I want to try that out!

I really like what you did with the various anodized bits. It added some nice color contrast with the black frame. This past summer I found an old Trek 800 Multitrack frame on garbage day. I've been thinking about doing a similar build with that bike.

It is a brake hanger for the rear. You need a threaded barrel adjuster typically used on 80's road calipers. The adjuster allows cable tension & a stiffer brake bridge.

Another great build, but can you show us more about that crazy cantilever brake booster? I've found them for sale, but only in the UK (i'm in the US), but i would love to see how it works, in action. Not riding, mind you, but just a few squeezes of the lever while the camera is fixed on the rear brake?

I'm in the middle of a 26" retro-build myself and on the fence whether to ditch the idea completely. Really wanna go 1x but a custom wheel build to fit a 26'r is beginning to feel ludicrous. The lynchpin to all this... I want XTR shifting to my 3x drivetrain; or any drivetrain and retain my existing wheel set. Anyone's 2-cents?

Hi there, loving your videos. I have a feeling this could be my new obsession and I’m looking to do my first bike, I’m 6 foot two and would normally have a 19 inch frame but there is an 18 inch that come up locally to me. I’m just wondering if you have extreme raised bars in some form or another does that mean you can get away with a smaller frame and a higher seat, saddle and bars?

In no way are the Tektro Oynx Avid Shorty 4 copies. The Oynx are pure junk. The absolute worse non-post mount cantilever brakes in existence. (Cane Creek's are just rebranded Oynx). The Avid Shorty 4 are in another league.

Those Tektro Oynx cantilever brakes are *pure junk*. The absolute worse non-post mount cantilever brakes in existence. Note, Cane Creek's are just rebranded Oynx. The Oynx wont stay in adjustment and when they do, the breaking power is so much lesser than other offerings. Avid shorties or Shimano CX50/70 are *so* much better.
