excellent. I want to try one now.
I bought a used electra cruiser with coaster brake at a yard sale for 10 bucks . It 'looked pitted on the paint and left next to a leaky compressor in a barn . the tires were flat and slightly cracked . To my surprise , with a spray of MeanGreen and garden hose , the paint was a brilliant finish . just like the one in the video . the pits must have been grease and dirt . The tires pumped up OK . This bike will get used on the bike trails . Priceless !! I find the Electra Townie line of products excels in quality , comfort , style and ride .
Very cool !!!! I am a fan of the Townie line as well. Thanks for watching.😎👍
Cool video like the no nonsense video. If buying this bike at store what should I be looking at price wise
MSRP should be around $725.00 Some shops will have it for less to be competitive in the market. Thanks for watching 😎👍
@behrbuildsbikes I'm hoping to sell for 800 when done. I am upgrading chain sprocket cranks wheels and stem. Goin with red annodized parts was gonna do gold but red sprocket looks sick and red parts are easier to find
@cfmechanic sounds like a great set of upgrades. I love custom rides too. Maybe I'll post some of my one of a kind bikes that I built a few years ago....😎👍
Great video. Thanks
You're very welcome!!! Thanks for watching and all the support!!! 😎👍
Great video, especially the brake and derailleur adjustment explanation. Thank you!
You are very welcome!!! Thank you for watching. I really appreciate your support! 😎👍
Impressive, keen attention to detail.
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
Gracias por el tutorial 😊
De nada. Gracias por ver mi presentación. 😎👍
Do you really need the grease?
Here in South Florida, the climate can cause corrosion very quickly and can result in parts seizing together and ultimately cause unnecessary damage to components, especially if they are made of different materials, like aluminum frames with steel bearings or axel. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". The way we do things may differ from the way things are done in other parts of the world, but I will always follow the methods that I am currently using for assemblies. I hope this helps. 😎👍
helpful and nice beard but I couldn’t really see what u we’re doing when u we’re placing the tires
Check out the GT Transeo video that I posted. It's the same process with a larger wheel. Disc brake, quick release skewer and better camera angles. 😎👍
Just ordered my gt pro 24 great video
Very cool. Thanks for the support!!! 😎👍
Can I put a 80 cc gas bike motor on this bike
I will never recommend putting a motor on a bike that only has a coaster brake to stop it. The hubs in the wheels are designed to go about 12 mph....not 30 mph. My dad always said "make it stop before you make it go" and I will always agree with that. My recommendation would be to start with a bike with disc brakes. You will need to aquire a special rear wheel with a triple flange hub so that you can mount the drive sprocket on the same side as the disc brake. Of course, you can save yourself a ton of hassle by just getting an electric bike that is already set up with the proper braking system.... Either way, the answer is "yes" you can put a gas motor on the Boss Cruiser, but I don't recommend it. I hope this helps.😎
Alper abi azeriyim bizim sarmamız top top oluyor şişman oluyo
Hello. Does the rear suspension adjust? I have an Adventure 1 from Cannondale. The rear seat suspension is super stiff.
If you take the seat post out of the frame, at the bottom there is a 6mm cap bolt that you can turn counter clockwise to loosen the suspension a tiny amount. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO LOOSEN MORE THAN 1 TURN. The cap holds a coil spring into the post and if you loosen it too much, you will find it almost impossible to put it back together if it comes out completely. These posts are not designed to have very much "travel" in the shock , so don't expect it to be very plush, but it will offer a little bit of relief over rough roads and bumps. You can always replace the post with an aftermarket post with more travel and adjustability. Cane Creek makes a few good ones, but they can be pricey. I hope this helps. 😎👍
@@behrbuildsbikes thank you sir
@MikP86 You are very welcome!!!😎👍
Just ordered my 29 inch wheel pro series can’t wait to get it they look nice !! Good job buddy 💪
Thank you so much !!!
What a great dude and great presentation. Simply fantastic!!
Thank you so much!!!
How do you adjust the Kick Stand so the Bike sits more upright.
Just bought this exact bike. So it is super helpful to find such an in depth tutorial on how to put it together. Thanks.
Super grateful for your support.
29inch wheels on this bike?
700 x 38cm.....yes 29 inch
Super helpful video, I assembled one of these today. Thanks dude! :)
Thanks for the video. I've built and restored lots of nineties mountain bikes but have just finished building this bike for my kid's birthday tomorrow. Lots of great tips in this that helped a lot to make sure I got everything just perfect. Much appreciation from Australia 👍
You have the heart of a teacher. Your explanations are wonderful, complete. Plus, it’s obvious you have a plethora of patience. Thanks for making this video. Now, when I buy a Sun trike I will appreciate so much more the effort that went into it.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your support. 😁👍
Thank you so much for the great video. My Miami Sun Trike is only three months old. I started hearing the faint clicking noises 2 or 3 three weeks ago. The noises became louder everyday. I knew there must be a problem. I found your video and I believe the rear wheels were overtightened and are crushing the bearings, as you describe at 32 minutes into your video. I imagine I need to buy a new free wheel and assembly and have them properly installed. I sure wish you could do it. But at least I know why this is happening. Thank you again for the awesome video.
I'm glad I could be helpful. Thanks for watching. 😁 👍
Hello, I was searching for how to fix a thump sound on the left rear bike wheel and your video came up. I know it's a bike assembly video but do you happen to know what could be causing that thumping sound? It sounds like it's in where you bolt the wheel to the axl. Thank You.
It sounds like the axel bolt is just a little bit too tight. If you loosen the bolt 1/8 of a turn, and the noise goes away, then it was too tight. Depending on how long the noise has been happening, and if it goes away by loosening the axel bolt or not, it could indicate a bad bearing as well. The age of the bike and how often it gets maintained will also be a factor.
@@behrbuildsbikes Thank You very much👍🏼💯
I hope you solve your issue.👍😁
Hi there. Just finished assembling this bike for my boy. Nice little bike! Do you know how to adjust the preload on these forks? It's set up crazy stiff,may as well have a ridgid fork. Haha. I popped the cap off the top of the stanchions and see a bolt way down inside from the top compressing the spring. I'm thinking the preload is adjusted on the bottom of each leg where I see allen bolt heads? Thanks in advance.
I checked the GT website and couldn't find any information on the fork adjustments.....I will be checking with our representative and taking a closer look at one of the bikes on our showroom floor tomorrow (Saturday, April 27th ) As soon as I find something to help you out, I will let you know. Thanks for watching.😁👍
Good afternoon. What is the maximum weight this bike can support? I'm thinking about buying one to do some cycling, I'm old school BMX, I'm already overweight, and I worry about that. Thanks.
I have looked online for any weight capacity specs on this bike and can't find any limits from the manufacturer.... however, I did come across a few articles regarding weak rear axel issues on the older models, usually due to the pegs on the rear, along with trick riding by inexperienced riders and abusive techniques towards the bike by the rider. That being said, I believe that these bikes are well made and worth putting the effort into getting the education as to how to ride in a manner that is less abusive and more conscientious of preserving the components and structure of the bike through learning the proper ways to shift the gears and by keeping the bike properly maintained and lubricated. Without knowing your specific needs, it is hard to judge if this bike will be a good fit for you, but hopefully you have a reputable bike shop that can guide you in making the right choice in the right bike for you, and not just sell you a bike and blame you for any damage that might occur because they only wanted your money and didn't care how you rode it. I hope you get the right bike for your level of riding and not just the bike that they want to sell you. 😎👍
Sweet
I agree. 👍😁
@@behrbuildsbikes just watched your vid and put my bike together!!
Very cool. I trust that all went well, and you will be riding in style from now on. 😎👍
Double Wall rims?
No, just single wall, but stainless steel spokes.
Do you have a video showing how to replace the Sun trike axel/rear end bearings?
I don't have any repair videos yet, just basic assembly videos. I mainly create videos to train our new employees how to assemble new bikes for the showroom floor. I may consider doing some repair videos in the future, but for now , I would check the "Park Tool" channel for bearing replacement videos. Thanks for watching.😎👍
I have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed your video I’ve never been so excited to want to build my bike
😁👍 You can do it !!!
Outstanding video thank you from a 55 year old lady…I can do my own bike.
Very cool !!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate the support!!! 😁👍
Do you think these bikes built in Cambodia are better than the ones made in China?
Yes. I actually think that these bikes are much better quality than most of the ones from china. The chinese are better at mass production, but quality seems to be lacking. China also has giant bicycle graveyards all over the place from building bikes for their workers to get around with, but they can't seem to maintain them or repair them. There are several videos on youtube that expose that problem over there. Thanks for your support and please keep watching 😁👍
Hello, I purchased this bike for my daughter over Christmas. She is asking if the handlebars can be raised on this bike, is that possible? The instruction manual is not specific to this model so I can't tell if this is doable or not. Thanks in advance!
You can add a "stem extension " to raise the handlebars up a few inches. You may have to change a couple of cables to accommodate the new height of the controls so that turning the bars doesn't impact the brakes or gears. The other option would be a "riser handlebar" , but you may face the same issue with the cable length. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps.😁👍
@@behrbuildsbikes ok, thank you for the quick response. Surprising that they wouldn't make the bars adjustable as a standard, considering this is kid's bike and kids grow! Thanks again
Hello, do you know if these are suitable for child seats?
Yes. A child seat will easily mount on the rear of this bike. Thanks for watching. 😁👍
Thank you for sharing this trike with us and the build process. I showed this video to my wife and she wants to buy this trike. You are very thorough and a great teacher. I did subscribe. 👍👍
Thank you for your support. I am always available if you have any questions. 😃👍
5:13 "now all we need is the "collar, the beauty ring, the flange nut, headset cover". I wonder what that particular part is actually called on the "parts list" in the instructions.
According to the Electra assembly video, they call it a "headset top cap" th-cam.com/video/Su9NexCsPbs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qF4nEwGfK0MhHf8T This is from their website. 😃👍
@@behrbuildsbikes Id think those would be a dime a dozen, and very easy to find. Many other bikes use them aswell, like the Raleigh Detour 2 and the Manhattan Smoothie, etc. These seem to be only sold as part of the headset. The only one I can find is the BONTRAGER MH-S75A which is way over priced. No generic Chinese made ones on ebay for 2 bucks each free shipping,,,lol, Thanks for helping me figure this out.
Great bike at the price
I agree. Thanks for watching.👍😃
Superb video. Any idea whether a LARGE will be big enough for someone 6 foot 1 inch tall?
That should fit you just fine. The seatpost is very long and the handlebar can be pitched forward to add more room to the rider compartment. The Adventure 1 also has an adjustable stem and shock absorber seatpost along with hydraulic disc brakes and rapid fire shifters. Thanks for watching. :)
Nice build ! I have a customer at our Shoppe picking one up tomorrow and I will be putting together in the morning thanks ! Also , I noticed the retrospec sign in back how do you like them as a dealer ? Merry Christmas to you
Thank you for watching. I appreciate your support. As far as Retrospec bikes, they are a decent product that we started to carry when the pandemic made it hard to get other product from our regular distributors and although they are newer to our customers, the overall quality has been good and the prices are reasonable.
How much do these weigh? Great video- thinking of buying one of these.
I can make a guess at the weight at around 32 lbs. I will double check when I get back to the shop and can actually weigh one that we have in stock. Thanks for watching. 😁👍
@@behrbuildsbikes did you ever get a chance to weigh that bike?
@blakecollins7297 according to my scale, it weighs 32.5 lbs.....the box says 34lbs, but that includes packing as well. 😎👍
@@behrbuildsbikesthank you sir
This is super helpful. Thank you sir!
You are very welcome. Thank you for your support!!!👍😀
This is what is ruining BMX.
.
Can you assemble my bike? I got a Beaumont plus and the instructions from retrospect are not very good
Are you in Florida?
Those are buggly but they look really comfortable.
Very comfortable indeed. 😁👍
That is not A ladies bike. You don’t understand what these bikes where made for. They are not ladies they are called low entry. Low entry for people that don’t want to have to lift there leg over A top tube or can’t. Many seniors men and women ride these. People with balance issues also. Low entry not Ladies
You are correct. 😁👍
Question do these bikes still come with touch up paint ?
Unfortunately, I haven't seen any touch up paint in a couple of years with these. I'm not sure if you can request some from Sun Bikes, but it couldn't hurt to ask. I'll look into that and get back to you tomorrow....which is monday here in south florida. 👍😁
Kool so replacing bearings and cranks arms more or less how much ?
Depending on the quality you're looking for, you could probably convert to 9/16 cranks for around $125.00 plus labor.... that would be decent quality.....you may find cheaper parts, but you get what you pay for. I would estimate about $50.00 to $75.00 for spindle and bearings ( aka "bottom bracket" ) and $ 49.99 to $69.99 for compatible crank arms with sprocket. Be sure to get a similar size sprocket so it will fit in the chainguard. 😁👍
Hello Sir , could a 2 piece crank replace its factory 1 piece crank , ?reason I ask is all Crankbrothers pedals I like come in 9/16
Yes, there are conversion kits available to convert the cranks to 9/16 . It can be expensive, as you need to change the bearings and the crank arms, but it is a pretty easy conversion.👍😁
Nice videos My friend 👍 I am bicycle mechanic too , i ENJOY your bike videos ...grettings from PERÚ 🇵🇪 👍
