Surly Steamroller 650b Tracklo build! This is a very special build that has been a year in the making. Super happy how the bike rides and looks, crazy comfy with the 47c's, cambium and 4130 frame. I made sure to take it to some trails for a good test ride!

Thanks. I was a cyclist. Two years ago I had a grand Mal Stroke. I lived, but my left hand is paralyzed. I am now scheming for a fixie. Watching you build bikes, is the best therapy!

I've always wanted a Steamroller, and this video "surly" didn't do nothing less but me wanting one for myself even more! Love the handlebar btw, and I must say, looking beyond the actual build, it's so much heat on your shelves as far as parts go!

@@420Sean69 from personal experience I've had 650b on, as well as up to 700x40c, and I think it could go up to 700x42c maximum. but for 29er i'm not exactly sure, but I think so. personally my sweet spot is with 700x38c on it for offroad/gravel

What compound are you adding to the inside of the head tube before the bearing races are pressed, and onto the fork before the crown race?

@waveywheelies Жыл бұрын

Just a thin layer of grease, you can also use some anti seize compounds

@louishansen2370 Жыл бұрын

@@waveywheelies Curious! I've seen anti seize used before, but never grease - my thinking was that grease could lubricate and therefore negatively effect the friction of the pressure fit. But I presume you haven't had any trouble with that as your headset isn't falling out... I might start greasing my bearing races and head tube!

Why do you use a campagnolo bottom bracket? I would expect the Japanese Suginos to have a Shimano square shaped mount?

@waveywheelies 2 жыл бұрын

Sugino have a special “sugino 75 taper” for the 75’s. But people have measured and tested and found it to be the same as/ near identical to ISO taper. Shimano BB’s are usually JIS taper so no good for 75’s. The Campagnolo bb I use is ISO. Hope that helps 👍 lots of confusion when it comes to these cranks
