For Some Reason, These Are Enjoyable To Watch

I randomly find myself watching this guy's build videos.  Very fun in an odd sort of way :) 

 

I watch them all the time too.

There is a YouTube channel Dub I think and the guy restores all sorts of stuff. He’s doing a series on turning an old steel bike into a gravel bike. He does the obvious like cold setting the stays but welded on disc brake tabs, through axles & such.

He’s on the third video and just finished the paint.  I’m totally sucked in and can’t wait to see the build.

Did you see the final video?

Now I have.  Sweet bike.

Not sure what a Tanpan SH11 was.  Thought maybe a clutch of sorts, but apparently made to work well with clutches.

"With the addition of a clutch-equipped Shadow+ rear derailleur, the Tanpan provides unparalleled chain security for Shimano road drivetrains."

I was wondering the same. I figured it had something to do with pull ratios between road & Mtn shifters.  

I’d still be a little concerned about those forks. Cutting that notch for disc clearance and then adding discs to the same fork leg gives me the heebie jeebies. Maybe it’s strong enough..

Still a really cool project.

I said the same thing about the cutting and adding disc brakes.  A LOT of torque on that front fork concentrated on just one leg.  Not sure how that works out, but  still neat to watch it all play out.

I think that’s why he added the through axle. It does integrate the whole front end to one one unit but that cut down leg does seem like a weak link.
