How to add a dropper post routing to a bike frame DIY
มุมมอง 2.6K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Do this at your own risk!!! Some bike frames do not have a port for a "stealth routing" dropper post. All you really need is a hole to make that happen. Here is an easy way to add that hole. Will it break your frame? Maybe. Will it void your warranty? Ya. Royalty Free Music: Bensound.com License code: KO0DOML5VS0SSC15

Here is a quick overview of my prototype Sklar PBJ that I built to confirm the design before it went to production. This rigid, touring mountain bike aka ATB has been my go-to for so many rides. It features a really sweet build with lots of white industries parts like the cranks and Astral wheelset and the soon-to-be-released PBJ handlebar from Sklar. It also has a sweet rack from Pass and stow...

Building a custom steel bike frame at the Sklar Bikes shop - Process video
มุมมอง 10K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Watch as I fabricate a custom steel road bike frame at the Sklar Bikes shop in Oakland, California. I used to miter, bend and weld custom bike frames every day for work but now I mostly just do it for fun and to prototype new ideas before the go to production. Making this video took way more work than acutally building the frame so I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions on t...

samchron in the promised land. great footage, great song!
Azymuth!
looove the video style!
baam peanut butter and jaam 👌
annadale is the reason i got into biking 🖤
I love the rigid bikes. Especially when they promote a modern riding style. With a long front center and a short playful rear end for BMX style actions.
That's what we have here!
Looks like one sweet ride.
I like jam also Randal!
Hi Ronnie, thanks for commenting on my youtube video. Glad to hear that you also like Jam!!!
What's up with the GraPHIx!?!?!
Whats a GraPHIx???
That looks fun. What's the a-c & rake on the fork? Maybe I missed it, but what was the complete weight rigid?
The fork is 485mm AC, so it is 100mm suspension corrected. I think my singlespeed setup with 3" tires came in at like 24lbs
@sklarbikes that's pretty good weight. 27.5 or 29 x3?
@ 29 x 3!
@@sklarbikes I'd be curious to see what frame clearance is like with 3.0s. Which tire are you running? Do you think 29x3.25 duro crux will fit in the fork?
@ definitely not, It is not a plus bike. Happy coincidence that a 3” fits but I would recommend a 2.6 or a 2.8 :)
I did enjoy the ride.
Glad to hear!
When does the bike drop???
January 24!
That salmon finish is looking hella nice in real life! Looked like a fun adventure too 🤘
That looked like a proper rip! Well done Boyz
damn loved the shampoo at the end. i dont think ive ever done that for one of my bikes. very nice video ;-) can't wait to ride my PBJ
Can’t wait for your review!
Thanks to Nick, probably the only time my bike is gonna get shampoo'd too :)
Zero baskets seen 😂
The basket is metaphorical
@sklarbikes is the basket in the room with us now?
I’ll get one 😊🎉
PBJ JFF BFF JRA LOL ❤
I wish I'd have kept my Benchmaster. Such a nice little machine.
@@smudgemo they are the best!
@sklarbikes How much did being able to have this space influence your move to California?
@@DaKeithCody I found this space 4 months after the move, so not at all. It’s a nice space though :)
Would there be any difference to the Frame's structure between drilling a new hole, like you did, and widening an existing DI2 port hole?
I have seriously considered this knowing it's a bad idea. Dropper on a cargo bike would be really helpful with a heavy load. That load is usually my kids though so I'm not willing to risk adding a catastrophic weak point.
There are some great droppers out there with a handle on the top. Perfect for a cargo bike!
Hand actuated dropper post at the saddle would also work. I mean, how often are people dropping their saddle on a gravel bike. It’s not like they are hitting black diamond trails…? 🤔
@@Macuhdohnadadoh for sure. I agree that is why I don’t put dropper ports in my frames. Some people seem to want it though
Love that you routed housing before drilling, had a customer not do that before 😅
Nice
its probably fine... or iis it? haha!
I wouldn't do it!
That's a big hole!
Jagwire makes a round grommet that has an angled hole entry. It’s also a smaller 8mm hole IIRC.
@@GHinWI that would be sweet!
I cut three oval holes (2 downtube, 1 seattube) for the salsa grommets (or something similar) in an early steel 2000s Jamis Dragon when I was repainting it a few years ago. I have been using it as a gravelish/bikepacking bike, and have around 1000 miles on it, no problems, no warranty, no worries. If it was a brand new rig I may have had second thoughts, but... I think rust is a bigger threat! And I'm not worried about that either.
that sounds scary! I would not ride a bike with holes in the down tube personally
You are one of the most underappreciated creators on YT. Layers within layers...
Ha, thanks!
Nice video. I ran a dropper cable through the lower bottle cage hole on seat tube. Easy peasy.
Holy shit I need to go do this to my Crux!
Wow, I like everything the custom made frame and the fork… how to have one of the small frameset,❤ new subscribers here
😂 i need a dropper post on everything! ❤ great video tutorial.
Awesome. I've been putting off drilling a hole somewhere on the downtube, near the headtube on my Romanceur to route a rear dynamo light cable into for a few years. Maybe through the downtube shifter boss? Anyone I've asked has warned against it fearing stress risers but no one has given first hand experience of it failing. I think I'll give voiding my warranty a try as well.
I did this on a mtb frame build last year. The front triangle tubes were undersized and the cable port wasn’t reinforced. It split all the way round the down tube in under 6 months. Should be less of a problem at the base of a seat tube like Adam’s done in the video as long as you avoid thin butted sections but I recommend reinforcing holes on down or top tubes. Silver soldering a washer round it should suffice
The seat tube near the bottom bracket is not a super high stress zine but even a reinforced hole in a down tube is sketchy, that will almost certainly break IMO!
@@sklarbikes My current build has a reinforced port in the same place, although the tube is much less flexy, so I'll have to get back to you about any breakage 🤣
Stuff dreams are made of
Such a chill vibe.
dope vid. ty for repping <3
Do you think there is less stress on the side of the downtube as opposed to the front or back?
Definitely!
Interesting! I didn't know that. Thanks!
What front and rear racks are those on the yellow beast ? 🤔🧐
I made those!
Sandwich Mag re birth ?
