Nice one Audry. Love that bike. Waiting for my new Ogre comming end of May. I order a compleet bike and give it a go. Just change the steer and will see what is needed to change during the years.
I saw this bike on yt & he went to San Francisco to Nicaragua on this bad boy & yea , I think it’s worth the money 💵 to spend , great build , subscribed
Looks great. I love the new blue. Ive got a two year old red Ogre. Its such a rugged bike and seems to ride better when it's loaded. It came with 2.5 inch tyres but I have replaced them with 2.2. I'm in Australia and hope to ride around The Netherlands when travel improves. Videos like yours and Fernwee have inspired me to head over when it's possible. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks. It's always nice to hear that i inspire people with my video's. The best bandwidth depends on the surface you are cycling on. In the Netherlands the road surface is never very bad. In 2001/2002 I cycled through Australia for 7 months. I wish i had my surly ogre back then 😁.
Great bike and great assembly job! Liked and subscribed. I really like Surly bikes and must decide between the Ogre, Troll, and Long Haul Trucker. Cheers!
Wow! Very impressive... maybe I could do that when somebody would instruct me... but I'd never dare to ride on that bike afterwards... you're amazingly skilled!
Hi nice build love the hill climbing gears ⚙ 👌, I have a build on my long haul trucker the channel is my surly trucker it's a black slh that I have electrified , I look forward to more videos tho I am not to good at putting them up myself, o and I subscribed.
Aha, a Surly fan! I get a lot of attention with my Surly because the brand is not verry common in the Netherlands. Thanks for subscribing and the command.
Hey Audrey - I always really enjoy your beautifully produced films and I totally admire your courage with the Surley. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and for giving me so much inspiration 🙌🤩 Stay safe and keep filming - you are a star 🌟🤩🤩😁👍‼️
Nice video. I've got a SLHT in the same colour, which I built myself, and I love it. Also recently bought a Surly ECR 29+. There's something special about these bikes. Yours looks brilliant built up. Have fun with it. JP the old guy
@@audreytracks Due to the Rohloff or Pinion gear systems being enclosed in a casing it means less problems with dirt, and due to chain not shifting gears so cleaner and easier to mantain in my experience. However, I do like your cycling vidoes and admire your adventure and courage as a woman to cycle alone on such long cycling adventures' I live in London and have cycled round The Netherlands which I very much enjoyed , except for the strong headwind on the odd day. My favourate destination for cycling adventures being France . Easy access from SE England , wonderful designated cycling routes , great variety of spectactular scenery and delicious food !! What more can a touring cyclist want ?!
Hello Audrey, very nice bike you built. I see you chose size XL. May I ask how tall you are? I am 1.91m and think that the bike will be too small for me or that I will have to mount the handlebars much higher.
I'm 1,85 m and my inside leg length is 91cm. I put a short stem on the bike because the top tube is quite long. I think you can check the sizing charge at the Surly website.
Great video, thank you for sharing. I am looking into an ogre and wondered about the frame size. I'm 6ft and was going to go for a large. How tall are you please. Thanks and happy adventures😀
I'm also 6 feet. I have de XL frame. I have pretty long legs and arms. My innerleg is 2,9 feet. The distance saddle to handlebars is quite large at the Ogre. My advice is to compare the dimensions of the geometry with your own bicycle.
Hi Steve, the parts i choose for my bike-setup is not the suggested parts from Surly. I have selected the parts for simplicity, durabiliy and price/quality ratio. The total cost of my bike is a bit more then the factory made bike. The handmade wheel where expensive.
@audreytracks I'd like to see a list of the components you used for the build. Going to buy my XL Frame this fall then start hunting for deals of the parts. Taking a bike maintenance course this fall so hope to use my bike build to test my bike knowledge.
Beautiful bike! I’m planning on using the same ergotec handlebars, 23° back sweep right? How do they perform? I’m also building a bike for a long distance travel. It would be nice to hear your voice in this kind of video.Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. The handlebar i use is the Ergotec Moon Bugle. 23"backswing. I like the handlebars because your wrists are more in a straight line. The inner barends are also a solution for my tingling hands. I now have many positions to place my hands.
What tools do i bring on tour? Bicycle pump, spare inner tube, tire repair kit, various wrenches, chain tool, ti-raps, spare spokes, brake pads, tape. I always use tubes. Keep it easy so you can fix everything yourself when you are on the road. Are you still happy with your bike?
@@audreytracks Thanks, I don't bring spokes and brake pads. Spokes may be a good idea. Yes I am happy (1 year old), a bit deceived by the rate of punctures I had so I'll probably go tubeless. And I will add a tubus (or two).
It took me two months to get all the parts together because of some parts where no longer in stock at that time. The build didn't take much time. Just a few hours. I had never built a whole bike before, but I have always done the maintenance myself. I also replaced parts, so I actually knew how a bicycle works.
I saw all the parts...right away I thought:"Where to start???" Well done. En het voordeel? Je kent je fiets tot op het duimpje...Stuur bevalt nog? De mijne rijdt sportief maar op lange afstanden krijg ik toch wat last van nek, rug en polsen. Mss heb jij betere ervaringen (-;
Haha, dat dacht ik ook een moment...waar te beginnen. Het stuur wat ik nu heb, loopt wat rond. Dus is niet recht waardoor je polsen wat beter staan.ook heb ik inner barrends zodat ik nu 3 posities op het stuur kan aannemen. Afwisseling voorkomt tinteling in handen
I don't want a Rohloff hub. First of all it is way too expensive and secondly i have never had any problems with a derailleur. A Rohloff hub is not better in every way
@@audreytracks A Rohloff is better in every way. I'm an experienced touring cyclist and all tourers I know of, including myself , would NEVER return to a deraileur gearing after using Rohloff.
@@brianoreilly239 Rohloff has poor engagement, is overpriced, and heavy. So no, not better in every way. Its one of the worst hubs if performance on trail is a concern. They have their advantages. But they are hardly the best tool for everyone.
@@cjohnson3836 A Rohloff is only marginally heavier than a deraileur system and on a fully loaded tourer it hardly makes much of a difference. I've yet to meet a cyclist who after cycling with a Rohloff gearing system who would want to return to deraileur gearing.
I live here in the USA (which I am not liking because of how the people are) and a lot of them label my life a troll (in reference to your bike titled ogre)when I have been complying with the teachings of Christ.
@@audreytracks That is more than likely the reason those in High places label me a Troll; I don't believe in what they believe in nor do I condone a lot of their interpretation of what democracy is. I guess I desire everyone to make GOOD choices in their Freedoms, but by common sense we know some understand FREEDOM in a whole another way.
The best bike installation video for time to information. Thank you. Subscribed.

Thanx Audrey, just got an Oger myself and on the way to beeing built. I wasn't sure if and how my tubus rack would fit on it but now I know. Cheers!
Excellent 👍. I ride a Surly ECR 😁❤️✌️.

Audrey, you did a superb job.... in Italy we say: you have golden hands...
Nice bike! I did exactly the same bought an Ogre frameset and built it up myself. 7 years later it's still a great and enjoyable bike.
Ogres will take over the earth.
Nice Job!! I have the Surly Bridge Club which I travel on - Surly are great bikes :)
The Surly Bridge Club was also a option for me but i liked the tough Ogre more.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this build with us. It's great to see a woman build a bike from scratch!

Yeah, shame they have stopped making those 3 bikes er I mean 2 ogre is still available.

Thanks 👍
you did a great job
Well done.Looks great!

I have seen some of your video's. The colour is the same of the Ogre 2021. I agree that these bikes have something special. It's different and cool.
That was cool to see one assembled. Might have a go at replacing a few bits on mine now.
Good video
I would have opted for a Rohloff hub gearing , otherwise a good purchase.
Sometimes i'm a little bit holding back to new innovations. Something that functions well does not need to be replaced

Hi, I have just found your channel. What was the name of the pannier rack?
That's the Tubus Cargo
Hello Audrey, very nice bike you built. I see you chose size XL. May I ask how tall you are? I am 1.91m and think that the bike will be too small for me or that I will have to mount the handlebars much higher.

@@audreytracks Thank you! Have a nice 1st advent!
I wish I could find a ogre frame set.
What is happening with the 'old' Santos? Anyhow congrats on the nice build. Bike looks terrific!
The Santos is for sale
Great video, thank you for sharing.
I am looking into an ogre and wondered about the frame size. I'm 6ft and was going to go for a large. How tall are you please.

Are you using the suggested parts from the surly ogre page? When you add up the cost of the build was it more then the cost of the factory made bike?

Pretty impressive, there was really nothing from the start. How long did it take? You have done this before?

Hello someone have build bafang bbso2 750w with 17.5 ah batterie on surly ogre S? enough Space for thé batery?i Can t find thé s frame size
nice!
are u using size XL? what the height of You in cm?
Yes, it's the XL frame. I'm 185 cm tall
does your using thru axle in the rear wheel?
No, it's a quick release.
Surly's are fabulous - nice video. Do you plan to fit a front SKS mudguard? Or does it not have clearance?
I've already put a SKS mudguard on it 😁

Nice frame colour. But your bike is crying out for a Rohloff hub.
I don't want a Rohloff hub. First of all it is way too expensive and secondly i have never had any problems with a derailleur. A Rohloff hub is not better in every way
@@audreytracks Easy tiger ........

Do Ogre gives you a bad feeling? live your life and ignore what others think. I''m proud to be different from the normal

Don’t call me “fatty.”
I know there is an additional price involved but why build your own bike without a Rohloff. Just don't understand that decision.
