@@ascdfghbcvfdr maybe there's a different version... I don't know and kinda doubt it...

@@starmichaelbuilds the only thing i can think of is it could be a down tube shifter facing tool but im not sure it would even fit?

@@clarkedevin no worries I sure put out a lot of them going through parts!

@@evantench6651 email me starmichaelbuilds@gmail.com and I'll send you pics of the one I got. It's yours if you want it!

@@Thrasheruni heck yeah keep the dream alive!

@@riskyrax yeah I was next to him. I usually get lots of good stuff super cheap from him. Can't remember his name 😞

@@ekims_echoes yes! I find them pretty hard, but I bet I just need to do more. I have the Anvil ISO jigs. So I can and will add ISO tabs. I haven't figured out anybody the other new standards for disk mounts yet but probably will eventually. So far no one's ever asked for anything but ISO tabs. They sure seem a lot more versatile than post or flat mount. I tend to not chaise trends and see what ends up work best and sticking around. That being said rear disk tabs seem to work pretty well for lots of older frames, but front disk brakes added to forks often bend the fork or crack the blade! So I tend to shy away from that and talk people into a new fork made for disk brakes.

@@starmichaelbuilds I'll probably reach out via email. I have a 1992 Giant that I've owned since it was new and keep considering having tabs added to the rear. It's actually a 1 1/8" steerer tube so it would be easiest to just replace the fork anyway.

@@ekims_echoes yes I've done a few of those for people! I remember a huge one I did for a guy back in the Norther Cycles days. I'm sure there's still pics on my Instagram. We did a Surly fork. Rear disk tab and some other stuff. A new blue powder coat and a full build! It was cool.

@@starmichaelbuilds I'm scrolling through your Instagram now trying to find it. That sounds rad.

@@andrew_yeah amazing! What's raking? Is it the squiggly pick you just run back and forth? Lol, I didn't get one of those. Trust the hockey stick looking ones. I'll try it out this week. Not today, because it's supposed to be in the 90's again, lol.

@@starmichaelbuilds yeah, those are rakes. there are some different shapes (some are more effective on certain locks), but they work similarly - you apply a little rotational pressure while you slide it back and forth against the top of the keyway. it'll bounce the pins up, and since you are rotating the cylinder, as they bounce out they tend to catch and stick in the up position. on cheap sloppy locks you can just rake back and forth and the whole thing unlocks in a couple seconds.

@@latrace1986 nah, they're heavenly when you get to know them. You can do anything with them, unlike modern stuff.

@@Devotee777 dang it! I knew that, said that in the video and then was positive I was wrong while editing it so I cut it out and added the text! Dang it... 😂

@@danielb3052 ohhh, cotter pins are a whole thing. There are guys that will tell you they can be serviced. I am not one of them. I use a 4" cut off wheel on a grinder and cut through the bb spindle on both sides. Remove the bb cups. Then replace with a regular square taper bottom bracket and crank set. Because even if you get the cotter pins out, the only replacement ones available are soft garbage and will not install without mangling them, and or will come loose right away and never stay tight.

@@starmichaelbuilds Thanks! I'll have to find a clip on how to that 🙂

@@BB-tx7tq yes! I've met them both and seen many of their bikes over the years. And toured Andy's shop. He sells frame building tools and I e bought a few things from him over the years and had him make me a custom tool once too. It cost me a few six packs that I split with him at his shop!

@@richardwaterman2867 I would have if I had any in stock and the bars weren't so narrow!

@@andrew_yeah that what I thought, sort of. I know spacing is different as mtb 11 cassette fits road 8-9-10 cassette bodies. So that's good to know. I have a friend that has ten road bar ends with "10" old probably the same as 9 speed deore rear derailleur. I feel like it should work but he's having issues. It's not, I think, a dynasys derailleur or cassette... Maybe. We'll find out soon!

@@starmichaelbuilds ah, those 11sp mtb cassettes fit because of a sneaky trick, not that they're spaced tighter than their road cousins! since they have big old pie plate cogs, and the first 3 or 4 are on a spider, that first cog is pushed over towards the spokes, past the base of the cassette. so the measured width across all the cogs is actually longer than the freehub body. 11sp road cassettes are spaced the same, but with the smaller-diameter cogs, they would have run into the spokes and so had to make the freehub body longer and push the flange toward the center. If you look at the back of any 11sp mountain cassette ("mountain" refers to anything with a biggest cog above 34T), and compare it to an 11sp roadie, you should be able to see the difference.

@@JamesStevensonPhoto other than eBay, a very cool bike shop or getting lucky on Craigslist, or at a garage sale, as they haven't made them in 40 years. I also have a small stash and might be talked out of a set!

@@starmichaelbuilds @starmichaelbuilds Thanks for your reply Michael! I'd be fitting these to my Surly touring bike that my local bike shop built for me in 2016. Currently running Paul shimano style thumbies which are great, though these look better and might help me with a fair amount of ghost shifting I get on climbs! Is there a way I can contact you? Thanks and best wishes, keep up the great content here, new sub watching your other videos now!

@@tonymunoz130 yes! Maybe someday soon! Maybe. I've been hoarding parts, and they aren't easy to find!

@@starmichaelbuilds baseball cards pop up when I search that

Jk, searching that into ebay didn't work. Had to Google search it and it pulled up the url

@@billwhite5853 that's great. My roommate bought it from me and loves it! She's become an almost full time cyclist because of it. She's talking on an overnight 42 mile ride this weekend!

@@stevenfoskett5077 lol, I think it's a large, and I'm kinda a XXL!

@@ericgneckow8701 thanks!!I'm kinda a nut!

@@Broodjemetbeleg glad it helped!

@@BB-tx7tq I was! Idk whatever you think is slightly below fair sounds good to me! 😉

Throw out a price and will negotiate

@@maxcarter970 I agree, its probably 650a. But that's only a few mm of actual extra height required. The tires are on the smaller side too, but again only by a few mm. Honjo fenders are very deep, and these Tanaka ones are very shallow. I think that's more to do with it then the wheel and tire size. I built my custom 650b bikes with tons of fender clearance too for 42's and Honjo fenders!

@@starmichaelbuilds yes that makes sense. I have a 650B Toei made frame via Grand Bois with Honjos on it and the clearances all are spot on.

I forgot to mention I have both the Nitto and Velo Orange front racks too and they fit the same way, neither is any lower. And this rack is more unique and interesting!

@@stevenfoskett5077 WOW, that sounds like it took a while!

@@andrew_yeah OMG thanks!

@@Jacobtyson30 heck yeah! Some day I'll do some planet bike hardcore fenders too. You can't massage them, but they fit way more true to size, but there's still lots of tips and tricks for them.

@@starmichaelbuilds Yeah, if you have an opportunity to document a plastic fender install, that'd be cool too. I've got a set of SKS fenders on a bike with no chainstay bridge and I'm sure there's some room for improvement in the install.

@@brian1231 thanks, that's good to hear! I'm usually thinking people are probably rolling their eyes and cursing me when they see how long they are!
