Nice instructive videos, I'm watching them all. Here is an idea for a new topic : "the different road bike rim brake types" and where to places the brake bosses depanding on the wheel size (700c ,650b). Thanks.

I silver solder copper at work and the flame I use on the oxy is very different to what bike builders use , it wigs me out !

Excellent teacher. Thanks

I think that mustache is a braze on...kidding, love your videos. Learning a lot.

This is a great video. Thanks for posting.

Interesting topic, thanks

Very informative. Thanks

I was looking for wiring guides on my motorcycle frame build, came up with using braze-ons when routing new cables on my Surly Troll. Used about 20 of them on my old Harley dragbike build.

You have good energy and a good vibe and if we met in person I'd want to be friends

To save money are bolt-on straps just as good as braze-ons? If I have a customizer mount Surly 2.0 front and Surly rear rack going to be okay? I hope to test myself on a 1,500 mile journey, then if I do well I'll leave my comfort zone and go around the world and take years to do it. I'm 69 yrs young and need to test myself. I don't own a car and do everything on my old Diamondback from 1998 with a Cro-Mo 4130 rigid frame. About how much would I save with clamp-ons as opposed to braze-ons? Thanks for a great video!

I noticed this post is a little old but I've been trying to find out what those bars that go across the seat stays are those little bars besides holding a caliper break or some other kind of break what are they used for what is their purpose.

Hi. Do you think I can use a MIG/flux core for the cable stoppers? Just a couple, not planning in building a whole bike...

Do you know of any place i can find internal cable guide braze-ons that ships to europe for like not 100+ euros

Where’s a good place online to buy the different types of Gides

Can Romex Wire be strong enough to use as a brazing rod? To reweld the top of the frame that was cut off and repositioned?

So.....I like your channel but want to say, after 40 years of on again, off again frame building.... (1st frame in high school at 16 years old in 1977), I noticed you and other frame builders want to use a 'carbonizing', wide, NOT focused flame while brazing. My experience has been, and even today as I brazed on a few water bottle mounts, that a small, low pressure, concentrated flame allows precise and controlled manipulation of both silver and bronze. It is MUCH easier to control the heat and focus it into the area of higher mass, i.e., the tube vs. the braze on, which is easily overheated. Orange is not your friend, and a dull red should be more than sufficient for silver, with dull orange being the top temp for bronze. That said, with plenty of white flux, a low temp focused flame, it is a simple matter to control the flow and pull the silver in and through the joint with a beautiful silver line around the joint. The tube/joint should have very little black, carbonated, overheated, burned evidence around it and should be kind of clean with a glass like flux residue to be sand blasted off… (my favorite method). Again, like your channel and keep it up…. great info for anyone interested in machining/frame building.

Sir how to get brake braze one ? Can you send me? 4 pieces?
