Small world 😂 Seabass built my bikepacking hardtail mtb last year. Really happy with it! Surrey hills is always a good ride, looks like a lot of fun in a group ride
@FreewheelBuilds 9 күн бұрын
Yeah, book it in for next year, we'll worth the trip for it

Seabass cycles is pretty active on Instagram. Also follow 2ndlifebikes and Babyldn. They post group rides and bike jumbles alot. One is coming on 31st August for @Babyldn, another on 15th September for @2ndlifebikes.

Thanks for posting this. I saw about this ride and it is local to me, but I thought it would be more race like. It looks very friendly and laid back. Maybe next year.
@FreewheelBuilds 14 күн бұрын
There were two rides, I think the longer ride was more racey, but outs was very party pace, we waited for everyone every few km. Definitely worth it 👌

Book it for sure, or even head to the Campsite itself, it's awesome, and next door to the trails!

Thanks, no one has barely heard of them in the UK, so they are cheap. But made in Taiwan so quality is excellent!

On my local trail my old full rigid Raleigh is about 10 minutes slower than my Sworks Epic. 42' vs. 32'.
@FreewheelBuilds Ай бұрын
That's interesting 🤔 I bet an s-works epic would be faster than any of my bikes... what is the weight difference? On longer rides, I think a bit of suspension for comfort would be faster.

whats with mtb community these days? they suddenly pops up into my feed, everywhere. Well, i got an mtb too but theres no tracks nearby :/
@FreewheelBuilds Ай бұрын
Thanks... i think.... but It's worth trying to find trails. All the local ones take longer to get there than I can actually ride. But you will make friends too!

5:19 haha that multi spanner was my mums first bike related tool. thought it looked cool but my dad said unfortunately it was made of 'cheese' (some zinc alloy) and was totally rounded. enjoyed this build

Not sure why you ysed insulation tape around the rear rack bolts, a bit of grease on the threads will stop any water ingress.
@FreewheelBuilds 4 ай бұрын
🤷 you can never be too careful. I'm expecting a lot of mud, and grease can be washed out.

Not light, maybe 12kg mark. But I usually don't really care too much about weight, more concerned the bike doesn't break beneath me.

Can't begrudge the final price. Some of the figures other KZfaqrs were coming up with aren't realistic. Unless, you have a big shed with years worth of accumulated gear. Depends where you live, what price and availability 2nd hand stuff is as well.
@FreewheelBuilds 5 ай бұрын
I've noticed some count cabling and some don't. TBF I have another bike that cost £75, but it only needed a new handlebar and cabling, so about £100 total.

Digging the frame of choice. The DB is a great bike. I rescued one and been thinking how i want to build it. Digging it.
@FreewheelBuilds 5 ай бұрын
Thanks man! 👍i think its to avoid drop bars, and swept riser bars are the way to go. It doesn't affect handling that much, but massively improves comfort.
@emiliodonate 5 ай бұрын
A little of polish compound maybe could remove the yellow effect in thte white paint. Nice job tho.
@FreewheelBuilds 5 ай бұрын
Thanks 👍 I did use some fine steel wool and some polish in the other video. I didn't want to go through the clear coat, so only a light sanding. I think if the next owner was serious about the bike, then it would be worth a new spray.bike. the paint is in really bad condition.

Using an old diamondback this summer for doing my odd jobs..was Using a cleaned up 1942 monarch before that till my rims destroyed themselves.lol....but the diamond back gets the job done right now..had to fit some old marin bars to give it a more comfortable ride...look forward to see this come together.
