Ok, this is the moment of truth.
Time to let this bike go and
remove all parts I can reuse.
I guess that I can reuse
almost everything except the frame.
But...
because this is a bike building project this will most likely fail somehow.
I'm sweating my ass off.
Pedals already removed.
Seems that...
bike shop hasn't added any greasing.
You should always do everything by yourself.
"back hurts"
Oh fu**k!
Ok, that's now done.
And without casualties! Although it was very close.
Please do not use this video as a example how to do bike maintenance.
Actually it's the other way around. Never do anything I do in this video.
The next step is to get the new frame from the store.
And then build the new bike. And see how I'm going to lose the rest of my hair.
Ok, this is how the build starts.
Now I'm supposed to use rubber hammer to attach cranks.
I don't have rubber hammer tho...
But I have this rubber hammer simulator.
The biggest worry is over.
I was worried about chainstay spacing.
In other words can I rotate crankarms.
Is there enough space.
Here to be precise.
Yes.
As I said I'm not going to get this done and something is missing.
I've faced the first showstopper.
Headset bearing cups needs to be installed.
You can use hammer.
But it's risky since you can break the cup or frame.
Or you can use a tool designed for this.
I don't have a tool so it's time for a break.
I need to get the tool from somewhere to continue the project.
When a man is desperate enough you are ready to do anything.
I rented a car and headed to K-Rauta.
I called to local bike shops.
No one was able to install the cup today.
Based on quick googling I also find out that tools are quite expensive.
Bearing tools.
And on the other hand they we out of stock.
But the tool is easy to do by yourself.
So I headed to K-Rauta to buy some stuff.
And then I can continue the installation.
Park Tool 170 €.
DIY 10 €.
It worked.
The risk is that cups are not aligned properly.
And then they are difficult to get off.
Next up
I will install
well
star nut inside the fork
and then install the fork.
There must be a right way to do this.
Now we see that this requires som sawing.
I need to shorten this.
Fortunately the start nut is already installed.
Here at Leppävaara no one cares if someone uses a saw in bicycle storage.
Ok, now I need to remove the star nut.
Would be easier if I had a proper tools.
This cable needs to be shortened
but I don't have
a suitable bleeding kit.
I can't do it right now.
So I will so it some other time.
One pro tip.
Keep your tools in one clean line.
When you have twenty tools in your hands
and you leave them lying around soon you won't find any of them.
The bike is complete. No casualties.
That's how it looks like.
Tomorrow is the time for a test ride.
More about that on my next video.
Thanks for watching!
