The final pieces to "complete" this build and lower the weight a bit more can be seen here: th-cam.com/video/jFfxYXl3J3o/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
When tightening up a threaded bottom bracket try putting a plastic bag between the splines and the tool. It helps them engage a bit more tightly, and if you do slip it can help protect your paintwork
Dude, I enjoyed this infinitely more than the Dream Build vids. No shade to them, but I really enjoy your commentary and it's interesting to hear the thoughts and calculations behind this build. Great work, man! Enjoy the rides to come with this beaut!
I too am a big fan of the dream build videos, but at the same time I always wish they told me more about the builds rather than just shallow angles and slow jamz. Glad you enjoyed this though, cheers! :)
Does it really matter so long as every manufacturer does the same so that you’re comparing like for like? It actually makes sense not to include pedals since people all use different pedal systems
@@XX-is7ps totally true. Everyone is using different pedals and bottle cage/ cages. Also a company who sells their bike without pedals and bottle cages only can mess the weight without these parts
Strangely enough I enjoyed watching this with my coffee. The feeling of building yourself is you KNOW how it went together with loving emotional care. And that, is satisfying.
Hey Brother, I love your attention to detail. I checked your channel everyday looking out for this video. Keep it up, your content is a diamond in the world of cycling!
I would never claim weight doesn't matter in a hilly part of the world such as yours. For me though, a light bike is only nice when carrying it up the stairs. :)
If anyone was embarking on a bike build I would highly recommend that they watch you. Your attention to detail and listing of tools and parts... blows my mind.
This is honestly the best bike build video I've watched. Mostly for the reasons others have mentioned - the descriptions of the components and procedures, with just enough detail to be intersting, but not so much to make it boring. Congrats on the new bike. It looks amazing... and that weight - WOW!
30:35 Thank you for saying that! I hate when people weigh their bikes without pedals, bottle cages, or even bar tape. Necessities need to be included in the weight!
Slippery Saddle: I have a "Selle Italia SLR Superflow S3", which i found way to slippery. I used some "Profile Design Aerobar Wrap Tape - black", its working great, no more slipping around. Eventualy/might be a bit harsh on the bib shorts in the long run... ´ll see.
The shimano hose cutting tool can be adjusted when it slips. A flat head screw driver fits somewhere on the tool to adjust the fit. As you can also read in the manual
You clearly haven't met the nuns I have... or know the joke about the two nuns cycling over cobbles. ;-) (Never heard that saying before - thank you for posting!)
I absolutely love your videos; was waiting for this. You Swedes understand Canadian winters so you know I am drilling over this bike as even skiing is shut down. Beautiful build, can't wait to hear your ride impressions. Thank you.
The 85.5 width was made for automated tooling at the factory. So the trek/praxis cups have a deeper tool fitting. Less chance of slipping off like in your video
Wicked bike mate, congrats. Thanks for the video, learned a thing or two there for sure. I love how your make fun of yourself, with the little mishaps here and there, and humbly show us that you are human like all of us ❤️
Congrats to this awesome build. As you mentioned yourself, you have build it with your own hands and effort. So any top of the shelf superbike ever doesn't come close to your bike. The build process itself was a pleasure to watch. I love how calm (at least in the final cut 😉 ) you work on your bikes.
Those Shimano quick links are a lot tougher to install than other brands like KMC. I ended up buying pliers which could both remove and install quick links.
I'm building a Trek Checkpoint SL right now with that same metallic green color you've got on here. Won't be as light, since it's a gravel frame with a storage door in the downtube, but anything under 20lbs will be a success for me I think. It should be attainable.
so appreciated! Ive been looking for info on 85.5 vs 86 and all the compatibility issues that one might expect even contacting manufacturers, and still being confused great vid super informative.
Awesome video! that Shimano tool is my personal favorite at the shop. BTW, there is a bolt that takes a flat head screw driver on the end of the tool that you can tighten to increase the clamping force on the hose! So when some oil inevitably gets on it, the hose doesn't start sliding backwards. Love your thinking with the carbon paste tho.
Beautiful, gorgeous video. Amazing job as a host. Production value is just *chef's kiss* I really can't compliment you enough on your channel. Going out for a ride, got me excited
OMG, i ordert the same Bike in the same color in December. I build it with Sram AXS 1x. My hope for it is to go sub 6,8kg ride ready. But your build is insane. The crank, the bar, the saddle, the wheels........ nice to see how its done right! I am exited, mine should be delivered in 2 weeks.
I've been waiting for this video for so long and it didn't disappoint. I waited until all the family were occupied, I sat down with my headphones on and drank in the whole experience in one thirst quenching mouthful. My observation the tools you use to assemble the bike are getting slicker (even though you said you don't like spending money on tools) they just make it easier. Scales on a bike build should be mandatory, just so you can be aware of how heavy all the parts you are adding weigh. I also agree everything you need, pedals, Garmin mount, bottle cages should be fitted before the final weigh in. Well done this is a super piece of work. You should be very proud. Are there awards for films like this, is this a category of film, what category is it?
Awesome build! As a side note: for robust, grippy and thicker handlebar tape, I've really come to like the Specialized Roubaix bar tape. Seems quite similar to the Pro Sport Control you are using.
I also recommend the FidLock magnetic bottlecages. Very reliable, a bit more minimalist, compatible with a wide variety of bottles or alternative accessories.
Been waiting for this video since you released the video about the frame! Finally! 12:36 I'd get a direct mount hanger. Usually it saves a few grams, shifts even better and most importantly looks cleaner.
I have watched this thousands of times. The frame color is really beautiful. Too bad cant find it in trek website anymore. Im still deciding between emonda or aethos!
Love the video! FYI- the Shimano quick link tool works great with Shimano quick links, which are particularly tough. It allows you to squeeze the tool to pull the links closed.
Awesome build! Nice paint! Love the multi-color. 🤩 Bike looks SWEET. There is nothing like building it yourself. Perfect connection between rider and bike. Paying attention to every tick, click, and gram 😉 Though I almost shed a tear when the BB tool slipped, that’s is my biggest fear. 😢 But where there is a ding, there is a future upgrade waiting to happen.
Great build video. Your detailed explanations are excellent. Your video can really help others to avoid or overcome similar issues that they may encounter.
Well, you didn't outdo yourself in the intro (vs. the frame reveal intro), but the actual weight reveal was VERY nicely done. I hope you enjoy riding this as much as I enjoyed watching you build it - and much more! FWIW, I quite like the "frosted" effect of the chain protector.
Without pedals and cages, PR at it's finest ;) (Don't get me wrong, the Atheos is the lightest disc frame set on the market, no question about that, even the bigger sizes is amazingly light)
Thanks for sharing this, I know you put a lot of work in making and editing this video. Thanks also for sharing some of the "mistakes" , because I have made exactly the same "mistakes" as you did in the vid. The bike looks amazing , and congrats on the sub 6.4 kg weight, was not expecting that !
Good....Great, terrific. These videos are dangerous, especially when I am considering the Emonda SLR as the next frame set.I may be hitting you up on some details of the build that you haven't covered here, but you may have some ideas. Very keen to hear your real world ride review.
Big Respect!! One of your best vids yet. Great balance between tech and tips. For me, the trickiest bits we're rear brake bleeding and lever reach adjustment. For some reason, one kept one screwing the other. BTW, I spent the cash a few years back and got that Shimano tool - a brilliant tool and worth every penny. Follow the mantra: 'right tool for right job'. Superb choice of bike and components. A lightweight bike does feel different. But like you said - STFU😂 - just get out there and enjoy it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👏👏👏
The Shimano quick link are difficult to fit unless you use the Shimano 3 prong tool. I had to cut the pin off my BBB tool to get the jaw to open wide enough to correctly install. That was a great build video, really enjoyed and I was thinking a Carbonworks Garmin stem mount would look great so I’m looking forward to seeing what stem / integrated mount you use. Absolutely stunning looking bike, chapeau.👏👏👏👏👏
WOW LITE !! Really nice build and l love all the commentary !! l would to give that a ride for sure But l m not fully sold on the cables etc through the headset for safety of brake hoses getting nicked not to mention the hassle of set up .
At about 11:00 you said trek used a narrower frame, this is because the trek version of t47 has wider flanges on the BB for better tool interface and reduces likelyhood of the slipping you experienced, if you want something blingier than the standard trek t47 bb they do a ceramic speed bearing version!! As you've seen your setup with Chris king works... But that's not what trek have designed for!!
What is the outer diameter of the "foam tube" used as the vibration isolator for the hydraulic hose from RD to the handle? Is the purchase Amazon? ?? In recent videos, Shimano wire holders (EW-SD501) are used. Which is better? Workability seems to be better with EW-SD501.
That was the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam for a disc brake installation. Some great tips and make it look far less daunting, should I ever consider moving over to the dark side 😉
Nice build. And incredibly light for a disk brake bike. No weight penalty with DB anymore! What is the purpose of the hole above the BB shell (open at 6:10, covered with screw at 29:49)? Is that for a front derailleur wire?
I have this bike too and I love it so much. If you have any 32c tires laying around could you see if they fit in this bike ? I have an extra wheel set sitting around and I’m considering some light gravel riding on it. Thinking about some colorful panaracers
Absolute credit to you attention2detail absolute flawless great video lovely bike the 33 minutes I absolutely loved love the the videos and I have learnt a lot since I started following you

What is the music at the beginning of the video please? Thank you
When tightening up a threaded bottom bracket try putting a plastic bag between the splines and the tool. It helps them engage a bit more tightly, and if you do slip it can help protect your paintwork
This is God level advice.
This comment is a good reason to take a look at the comments! Thanks!
will try it out! thanks a lot!
I did mine with a peace of cloth and a pipe wrench.. Does that also count as good practice?
Ahhhh. Now I can relax. Everything is back to how it should be.
Beeeeaaaaauuuutiful

Glad you enjoyed this though, cheers! :)
True!!! Was thinking the same. 33 minute video and I didn't even skip a bit. Unlike the other build vids I just put on 1.5x speed.
@@ridesofjapan I can´t agree more. Your details are helpful and better than shallow angles and slow jamz ;)
Woah woah there's space for both build types in this world!
Couldn't agree more that every bike SHOULD be weighed with pedals & bottle cages in them. Thanks for the great vid!
every bike should be weighed including the rider
Does it really matter so long as every manufacturer does the same so that you’re comparing like for like? It actually makes sense not to include pedals since people all use different pedal systems
Lol, weight weenies
@@XX-is7ps totally true. Everyone is using different pedals and bottle cage/ cages. Also a company who sells their bike without pedals and bottle cages only can mess the weight without these parts
Yeah, what’s with all the secrets around bike weights!!!!!
Strangely enough I enjoyed watching this with my coffee. The feeling of building yourself is you KNOW how it went together with loving emotional care.
And that, is satisfying.
Hey Brother, I love your attention to detail. I checked your channel everyday looking out for this video. Keep it up, your content is a diamond in the world of cycling!
It is very rare to a see a correct a bar wrapping on youtube (including the popular dream builds). Great content!
I would never claim weight doesn't matter in a hilly part of the world such as yours. For me though, a light bike is only nice when carrying it up the stairs. :)
Yeah all the racing is do is mostly on flat roads or at most a kermesse or rolling terrain. So I don’t mind a bike been 8kg if it’s cheaper and aero
Only January and it's Christmas time again! Thanks for the great content!
If anyone was embarking on a bike build I would highly recommend that they watch you. Your attention to detail and listing of tools and parts... blows my mind.
Working on emondas for new builds I’ve learned to always put painters tape around there until it’s torqued to prevent marks
I liked the bits where things didn't go as planned, yet you still showed them. Unlike other dream builds that only show the smooth part installations
Respect for any cyclist that can do this. Amazing job! Fellow Japan cyclist
This is honestly the best bike build video I've watched. Mostly for the reasons others have mentioned - the descriptions of the components and procedures, with just enough detail to be intersting, but not so much to make it boring. Congrats on the new bike. It looks amazing... and that weight - WOW!
30:35 Thank you for saying that! I hate when people weigh their bikes without pedals, bottle cages, or even bar tape. Necessities need to be included in the weight!
Thank you for going back and redoing the flats of the bar. And I'm sure you'll appreciate it later too!
This is the best tutorial for bike assembly that I have ever seen! Thank you!
20:26 For your next build, use strapping tape instead of electrical. The former can be removed without residue and is designed to not stretch.
oh man i have watched this 10 times already and i couldnt stop myself watching this again
Me and my dad watched this before buying my new emonda, thanks for the amazing video!!!
Enjoy you new steed👍

Definitely worth the wait for that video. Love the colour on the frame. Commentary is great too. Thanks ROJ, yet again you have delivered.
As much as I'm a full-on Domane fan, this bike is a thing of beauty. Clean as a nun. Congratulations! Ride safe ;)
You clearly haven't met the nuns I have... or know the joke about the two nuns cycling over cobbles. ;-)
(Never heard that saying before - thank you for posting!)
@@dlevi67 xD
Beautifully done and the visible weave of the bars, cranks and wheelset is just icing on the 6.345kg cake.
I love the narrative of your videos mate, never change

Those Shimano quick links are a lot tougher to install than other brands like KMC. I ended up buying pliers which could both remove and install quick links.
Wolftooth components has some great quick link pliers.
The super B tool?
@@imperialspy3457 Yes, that's the one. I forgot what brand it was. Their 2 in 1 link pliers are awesome.
Super nice build. Take a look at the Connex chain link. Its made to be installed by hand, you can use it as often as you like to open a chain etc.
Fabulous as ever. Such great videos you make, and the dry humour..... love it. Bling, bling, BLING!!!!
Pro tip: There is a preload adjuster for the TL-BH62 brake hose tool so the hose wont slip :)
Greetings from Sweden
33 minutes passed like 5... damn I love it.
I'm building a Trek Checkpoint SL right now with that same metallic green color you've got on here. Won't be as light, since it's a gravel frame with a storage door in the downtube, but anything under 20lbs will be a success for me I think. It should be attainable.
no such thing as a too long video when its quality content
so appreciated! Ive been looking for info on 85.5 vs 86 and all the compatibility issues that one might expect even contacting manufacturers, and still being confused great vid super informative.
Congrats on the new ride! And thanks for showing the mistakes along the way, even as minor as they were. Its how we all learn.
She is really pretty. Your VDOs are very helpful and entertaining at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

So many people have said so many beautiful words on my behalf. Nice bike.
Use the plastic wrapper from packaging for the BB between tool and BB when installing to prevent marking from tool :-)
I still laugh about the name of that scale every time I see it. Wondering whether it's a coincidence or not.
And what a gorgeous bike.
I agree about the proprietary seatpost. I wish I could use a different post.
I have used the park tool cable routing tool and prefer the jagwire setup for the simplicity and it’s more compact in the tool set
Beautiful, gorgeous video. Amazing job as a host. Production value is just *chef's kiss* I really can't compliment you enough on your channel.
Going out for a ride, got me excited
Nice bike! Same weight as my non aero, non integrated, rim brake build!
Congrats on your new bike! Very nice build! And light bikes do make a difference when climbing. As always, a nice video presentation. Enjoy1
What a great ride! I'm happy for you my friend.

I’ve made the same mistake cutting my chains many times. I’m using KMC SL chains now, I really like them.
That frame colour is great
Awesome build! As a side note: for robust, grippy and thicker handlebar tape, I've really come to like the Specialized Roubaix bar tape. Seems quite similar to the Pro Sport Control you are using.
Using a single layer of paper as a shim when installing barbs also works well
Holy top shelf build, batman! Really enjoyed your process.
So many drool-worthy parts. This is a very well-curated build. Hot damn!
always swing toward yourself with that torque wrench! gives you more control!
also you can get quick release ends for hydro brakes & DI2 if u want to b able to remove bars easily!
I also recommend the FidLock magnetic bottlecages. Very reliable, a bit more minimalist, compatible with a wide variety of bottles or alternative accessories.
Agreed, I use them when I have a frame bag on my Open, but on this bike need something a bit more exotic ;)
Really nice, love that front end.... Seat clamp half way up the post is a shame. Fantastic colour, looking forward to seeing it on the road👍

Sweet ride. Emonda SLR FTW any time
you can tighten the grip on those shimano hydro tools. there is a flat head screw on the bottom.
This build is superb, impressive and straight up awesome 👌
Enjoy the rides ahead of you and stay safe!
I don’t wear gloves either in the summer, so I also prefer thicker handle bar tapes. I recently switched to supacaz super sticky kush
Style, quality,class, great content and I,m liking your commentary. 👍
I have watched this thousands of times. The frame color is really beautiful. Too bad cant find it in trek website anymore. Im still deciding between emonda or aethos!
Yes!! The wait is over😂🚴🍾!!
Beautiful build, love the 1x set up.
Love the video! FYI- the Shimano quick link tool works great with Shimano quick links, which are particularly tough. It allows you to squeeze the tool to pull the links closed.
The Shimano tl-bh62 hose tool there is a small bolt for squezing the hose harder if it slips
Beautiful chameleon frame ❤️
Awesome build! Nice paint! Love the multi-color. 🤩 Bike looks SWEET. There is nothing like building it yourself. Perfect connection between rider and bike. Paying attention to every tick, click, and gram 😉 Though I almost shed a tear when the BB tool slipped, that’s is my biggest fear. 😢 But where there is a ding, there is a future upgrade waiting to happen.
Feeling happy like it's my own bike! Glad for you and wish more more climbs !
Great build video. Your detailed explanations are excellent. Your video can really help others to avoid or overcome similar issues that they may encounter.
I would love to try riding the climb such a lightweight bike as that. Great bike
Well, you didn't outdo yourself in the intro (vs. the frame reveal intro), but the actual weight reveal was VERY nicely done. I hope you enjoy riding this as much as I enjoyed watching you build it - and much more!
FWIW, I quite like the "frosted" effect of the chain protector.
Super nice bike, extreamly exotic components, it’s amazing how an “stock” aethos founders edition size 56 weight’s only 5.9 kg
Without pedals and cages, PR at it's finest ;)
(Don't get me wrong, the Atheos is the lightest disc frame set on the market, no question about that, even the bigger sizes is amazingly light)
Thanks for sharing this, I know you put a lot of work in making and editing this video. Thanks also for sharing some of the "mistakes" , because I have made exactly the same "mistakes" as you did in the vid. The bike looks amazing , and congrats on the sub 6.4 kg weight, was not expecting that !

Mistakes are what makes life interesting, and we might actually learn from it 😅

I have found this and your open build videos very useful as my campag ekar mason takes shape - thank you.
Good....Great, terrific. These videos are dangerous, especially when I am considering the Emonda SLR as the next frame set.I may be hitting you up on some details of the build that you haven't covered here, but you may have some ideas. Very keen to hear your real world ride review.
Big Respect!! One of your best vids yet. Great balance between tech and tips. For me, the trickiest bits we're rear brake bleeding and lever reach adjustment. For some reason, one kept one screwing the other.
BTW, I spent the cash a few years back and got that Shimano tool - a brilliant tool and worth every penny. Follow the mantra: 'right tool for right job'.
