    Thank you for uploading all these videos!! I'm going to school for mechanical engineering with the hopes of working for a cycling company one day. These videos are super interesting and give me an idea of what I may be doing in the near future. Keep up the amazing work!!

    Looking good! All dropouts are a type of fork-end, really; they just let the wheel drop out the bottom when unsecured :)
    Nomex, BTW, is a type of fire-resistant fabric that is most famous for its use in driving uniforms for motor racing (see: Joe Nemechek, 1992 Goody's 300).
    Getting pumped to see the final result - good luck!

    It is a fact that this longtail bike is build much faster than the first one !!! Since most of the work was about equipment, the work now flows and probably by the time i write this comment you might be riding the longtail already.May i place a request?i would like to see a future bike of you that would have adjustable dropouts (on a mtb maybe) thus having variable geometry .Thank you for your info ,keep up the good work .A fan from Greece.

      That would be a good challenge for him! What variables though? Adjustable head angle might be good (Cane Creek actually sells a head set with an eccentric upper race that allows for this pretty easily), or maybe adjustable fork rake (assuming rigid), changable wheel size, hmmm, what else would be good?

    • @PithyBikes

      Hahah! there's so many components for bikes its mind boggling! I don't know, I feel like I still need to build the various basic bikes first! The long tail will have cantilever brakes which is a first for me. Bit by bit. That said I am a huge fan of simplicity. The less moving parts on a bike the better is where my mind is at (for better or worse) ;)

    That was a quick 8 minutes! Great video as always.
    It finally hit me how long that wheelbase is. Your son may need to learn the 3-point turn, haha!

    This channel is amazing! I`ve watched all the videos and came back to my dreams of starting the custom bike workshop... Great thanks for the inspiration)First, I have to find a place for it)

    • @PithyBikes

      Glad its inspiring for you. :) Good luck with your shop!

      Thanks! It's nearly finished. I just need to compile and edit all the footage. Sorry its taking so long..

    Diggin your work man! Now i know about forkends. I'll use that on my full suspension single speed!

    • @PithyBikes

      Great! that sounds awesome!

  • @SebastiaanMollema

    Hi man, it has been a while since i checked one of your video's. Good to see more stuff, enjoyable and well made!

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for coming back! Sadly, I've had some other stuff come up this past 2 months so there haven't been any new videos recently. I hope to upload again in the coming month.

    Nomex is a fire proof fabric. Its what race car drivers fire suites are make out of.

    • @BisdremisKostas
      @BisdremisKostas 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      and flyers overalls and gloves are made of NOMEX for the same reason :)

    Do you like the Odyssey tires? I’m looking for a fat bike road tire recommendation...

  • @HamidRHariri

    This channel is awesome. Subed. Can you do a video tour of your shop and equipment? Also, what is your background? You seem really talented with machining and fabrication tasks. All the best.

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Hamid Hariri sure I can do that. It's a really small shop so that shouldn't take long! I'm not a machinist, just a hobbyist. My day job is making art for mobile games.

  • @policedog4030
    @policedog4030 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It took me a lot longer to watch all your videos because I couldn't just skip reading all the comments; something about your style seems to inspire a lot of really skilled people to chime in and it is great.I'm not one of those skilled ones; but I'll bet I'm the only one who noticed that those circles inside the letters "pb" of your Pithy Bikes logo would be perfect to put tiny glass doors in each one with tiny little laundry tumbling behind each glass; maybe with a drum inside the tubes on an eccentric so when you ride the bike the laundry will actually tumble.. okay maybe the drum is overkill; just silkscreen the swirling laundry on the back of each little glass?(Note to people who haven't watched all or most of your videos: we know you aren't getting that at all).

      Haha thanks man :) It's all good, I'm not trying to make a living off the videos. Just sharing knowledge and spreading the joy.

    Tig finger is great, bought it with his gas lens kit. (also great)
    Well worth it!

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I need to get one! And supporting Jody's channel is an added bonus. I've learned so much from Jody's videos.

  • @togastomas
    @togastomas 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow amazing videos!
    could you tell where you bought that clamp stand for holding frame while welding?
    thank you

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made the clamp from a computer monitor arm. It's not really good lol. My advice is save yourself the trouble and just get yourself a bicycle mechanics stand clamp. :)

    Are you doing the seat stays? Thanks for the great videos, I'm really looking forward to seeing the next stage of this build

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hahahha its funny you should ask. It actually broke down last week no joke. I took it apart and replaced the drive belt. Now its working like a charm. The thing was 6 years old and all it needed was a standard belt replacement. Kenmore dryers.. the best. :D

  • @sammather5751
    @sammather5751 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry if you've mentioned this before, I just found your channel, but what positioner is that you are using? Looks pretty handy yet basic.

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sam Mather it's a modified computer monitor arm. It's actually pretty lousy lol. Main problem is its not strong enough to hold a frame reliably which was its intended purpose. I like the arm itself, just not the bits at the end. I'm planning on building a new swivel end part.

    • @sammather5751
      @sammather5751 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahhhh, makes sense. Well, I can't tell how sturdy it is from the video but it looks like about what I'd like to have. May have to get creative or do some more searching. Thanks!

    Hi! Long time viewer, first time commenter: Have you switched to #12 cup completely now?

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sean, Yes I have. But i think I'll need to get the #8 out on occasion for tight spots like seat stays. Thanks for watching!

    Nomex is used in protecting electric motor windings.

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pretty cool. So it must also be non conductive..

    • @onegreenev
      @onegreenev 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nomex is non-conductive.

    • @PithyBikes

      +rommeo27 20x2.4 I'm not totally sure on the tire thickness.. I'm away from shop this weekend.

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +bullwhip johnson chromoly does rust if it's not painted.

    Every mechanic in the world who is not a numerous uno douchebag calls those dropouts. (Flame war, and go!)

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      LOL

    • @jalankumar2766
      @jalankumar2766 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd call them track dropouts

    • @bradcomis1066
      @bradcomis1066 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe its a British english thing?

    • @cutecat9109
      @cutecat9109 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've always known them as horizontal dropouts

    • @yanimont
      @yanimont 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Horizontal dropouts are called fork ends. Flame extinguished.

    Nomex = what my flight suit was made out of back a long time ago when I work a flight suit to work.

    • @PithyBikes
      @PithyBikes  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +1975lap I see, man that suit must have been expensive.

  • @gabrielong1425

    pls build a 36er mtb next

      Haha I don't even think a 36er could fit in my shop. :D
