He builds and awesome electric trike truck. I bet he could easily adapt it for you. I have been thinking about getting him to build me one. We briefly talked about it 2 years ago.
At first I thought you looked like a complete dork, but I must apologize. You are a skilled individual with lots of love and energy for what you do. My respect Sir.
One of my Bucket List items was recording Erik Noren from Peacock Groove build one of his custom bicycles. He makes all of his frames and forks by hand. His bikes have won several awards and even stirred up controversy. He rides over mediocrity and loves challenging the industry with different ideas. While recently in his workshop, my eye caught an Orange Metal Flake Fat bike frame, “I want to record you building this bike!” and he kindly obliged! Please share with any of your friends into Fat Tire or Custom Mountain bikes. This is the first time Erik has shared his assembly stage and it’s loaded with tips and he’s also hilarious!
Gorgeous bike, fantastic craftsmanship! I'm curious why why doesn't use much cutting oil or bearing grease when installing parts? I used to be a race mechanic and we had it pounded into us that we lubed or locktited everything. Interesting.
i have that same powder coat on my chopper with gloss black overlay flames the camera doesnt do it justice. the tiny metal flake in it and the yellow/orange color flips are incredible in the sun
I just found your channel by accident, very cool demo and presentation, awesome. That bike is so SWEET, going to look up you guys online, be safe and well, cheers!
It helps to take a file and break the outside edges of the finish on the head tube, so that there’s no chipping of the finish that is in a visible area.
Awesome bike. I bought a Walmart fat bike because of low finance situation. I love the fat bike concept but Walmart bike fell apart after 75 miles. I'm gonna save for a year and try to build a better built one. Thanks for the great vid.
A bicycle with a standard regular fork fit a fat fork? Will a fat fork tire fit into a bike with a regular tire fork? Are the head tube standard to fit any forks? I want to make my regular bicycle to a fat bicycle. Thnx.
I considered a similar project. However, after the cost calculation I ended in buying a finished one, I got a quite good one with a light aluminum frame and fork with through axles from a well known brand for less than the parts would have costed.
Billy O good afternoon my good man. I hope all is well. I'm trying to AWAKEN my Marin Stinson MTB. I want to add fat wheels on it and change out the handle bars blah blah.... I currently have 26x1.95 wheels on it. What are my options?
Just curious why you don't offer tapered head steerer is this common in fat bikes? Cause you about can't find a straight steer fork anymore at least for a regular MTB!
I have a 29 inch mountain bike with a rear shock and articulating rear suspension for the rear wheel and I want to change it to a fat tire rim and tire set up so that I can use a mid mount electric motor and use it for hunting/scouting, and going to the store with I have ridden e- bikes be for and like them a lot do they make the rims and tires in 29 inch and what is the cost also is this a doable project I have the standard rim gig brakes on it now but want to change to disk brakes and have found a complete set for both front and back on a mail order site, but am wondering if it is worth doing so?
I am trying to build a fat tire mountain bike that I can install both a gas and a mid drive electric motor to make it a hybrid pedal assist bike for Hunting and fishing in my state but having a hard time finding a sturdy enough frame that will make it possible I am fairly large in build ( 275-290 ) and need help in doing so that is also light weight also do you have any ideas on what I can do I am also on a very fixed income.
I have a fat tire bike but without the speeds is a simple bike nothing fancy I got it 6years ago on target for $40 dollars I think is a return item that's why it was economic, can I add the gears to my bike? Thank you.
Not sure if anyone has ever done this before, but I think it would look pretty rad if someone built a 24 inch fat bike with a 29 inch fork with a 20 inch tire up front.
16:03 I recommend swapping these garbage plastic bar end plugs for something made of metal, I got RevGrips so they came with flat plug, so it's not sticking out much, but but other options are also possible, but I haven't sued Esi Grips Cus all I have used got too soft after about 4 weeks so I had to keep replacing them to not bottom my hand out on the handle bar. I have reviews of the products on my site. the plastic bar end plugs can be ruined in one crash or even so damaged the bar gets damaged, they are useless.
I took my cassete out for cleaning once I was done and putted back, the derailleur didn’t line up, my lbs fixed, Im about to do it again for this winter and try to figure it out what I did wrong

Just bought a cheap fat bike and now upgrading it. Great video and helps to watch someone who actually knows what they’re doing . Nice build ! 👍
“ACTION SHOT, that usually comes at the end.” I’m dying 😂😂

Erik is great... he's been approached about doing reality shows about bike building several times.

Always nice to see a fellow bike mechanic who knows what they are doing operate...great vid (and a very nice Fatbike!)

Steer the bus
" now, What I remember is we hit a bunch of KIDS"
I would love to put a bike together like this dude! WOW you are flawless my man! and I do love the sound of the clicking and those Head wheels
Blazing Saddles, I caught that. Excuse me, while I whip this out. That was a good one.

After 10:25, next step is to install your BBSHD motor.
Best bike how to on TH-cam

sounds like a good plan! Thanks Big Mike!
I keep rewatching this video because of how oddly satisfying it is😂😂
What is a good source for the parts on a bike like this? E-bay? Amazon? Specific suppliers?
I like the 1 1/8 standard cup headset and those fork dropouts are rad!
Awesome but chain slaps are going to eat up the shifter cable
Could it have been run underneath the chain stay? Is there something that can be added to it as is to protect it? That's not too ugly I mean... :-D

Very detailed build and awesome quality!
I ride 2.25inch 29er hardtail but this is next level fun👍👍
Very informative thanks for posting.
Close to Syracuse colors
Groovy bicycle!
I’d love one of these bc I live way out in the sticks by the beach
Can’t find these wheels for sale or a price.
Can you make a step-through fat tire with a comfy seat? What colors do you have?
Seems like a lot of cassettes on rear for single in front. What kind of bind will chain be under when all the way to left or right on rear ???
How much for one bike like that?can you put electric motor on it?
Just curious why you don't offer tapered head steerer is this common in fat bikes? Cause you about can't find a straight steer fork anymore at least for a regular MTB!
Dawn dish soap works awesome on grips and when dry acts like glue

Wouldn't you want the bottom bracket bearings to thread in the direction that you would pedal so as you pedal you wouldn't un-screw the BB bearings?
Better than advertised
Oh wow, I am the current owner of this bike!! and my nickname is spitfire.
Dosnt it plug the valve stem?
do 24inch fat wheels perform as well in the snow?
With all the joking aside, that is a precision build. Great looking bike. Might have to go get some Cake.
Hi Flix, thanks for commenting! Thank you, Bill at www.mnpctech.com
Shouldn't you have applied tape to the inside of the wheel, or are you doing tubeless? (maybe I should watch to the end)
That’s cool. Hope you’ve not been looted. I don’t have a fat tire mtb, but do have a nice Soul Beach Cruiser. I love it.
nice bike, i wish i have a bike like that..
Concisely done with humour, good job. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
What's the idea behind the 24" wheel then, that you didn't want to get into?
I am trying to build a fat tire mountain bike that I can install both a gas and a mid drive electric motor to make it a hybrid pedal assist bike for Hunting and fishing in my state but having a hard time finding a sturdy enough frame that will make it possible I am fairly large in build ( 275-290 ) and need help in doing so that is also light weight also do you have any ideas on what I can do I am also on a very fixed income.

Bro you are like a Luthier…. What a dream of fat bike …. ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man I just found this channel and I love it already.
Any recommendations of tire sealant for fat bike ?
only wheels I can think of that are actually tubeless without tape is Mavic UST, there are no spoke holes, so no leakage, no taping needed.
Can I put a 4inch wide rim (fat tire) on a standard beach cruiser?
Grips dish soap warm WATER. Soap smear inside grip water dunk. Grip finger soap inner tube both ends. It sides right on 1/4 twist
"GIVE ME THAT WHEEL"
I am curious about the lack of tubeless tape?
Nice work brother
Very educational, thank you very much
Where can I see more pictures of Erik's fat-tire bikes?
What brand socket are you using?
Not sure if anyone has ever done this before, but I think it would look pretty rad if someone built a 24 inch fat bike with a 29 inch fork with a 20 inch tire up front.
Chromer Pimpson imagine adding a rocker BMX tire in the front
No lube for cable or housing?
Awesome video. I envy your building skills and knowledge. Keep up the great work.
What an amazing video and what an amazing bike building!!
To build or buy a cake bike one must eat lots of cake =)
Hi i would like to now how match would a bike exactly the same like that would cost can you please answer me?
Were rim strips totally omitted? If so, why?
That is a cool bike. I love the exile motorcycles. Kind of like an exile bicycle (except not black) :-)
I loved Exile too, Russell Mitchell is a lot like Erik, they refuse to compromise and conform to industry trends
Never thought I'd say this about another man but this dude is adorable
yes, I agree!
Can I get a coffee with that CAKE ??
15:30 using soap for decals to move them around for adjustment while wet is still sticky after dries.

I want to add 10 gears in rare wheel and it has 7 it is possible to add 10 gears instead of 7 speed gear?
Boss As Fat bike build. Good job Sir. Thanks for sharing. Now I want to go tubeless. What tyre pressures do you recommend for trails?
What is the length of that spindle?
I took my cassete out for cleaning once I was done and putted back, the derailleur didn’t line up, my lbs fixed, Im about to do it again for this winter and try to figure it out what I did wrong
could you do a video on hand bending the seatstay and chainstay that will help us a lot
Great Job Bill, Do you build any Fat Bikes with suspension ?
Erik sure does, his contact information is in the video description
damn that's a sick ride. thanks for sharing!
That van is very cool.
Great instructional video.
Always love a blazing saddles fan
What the size of the tire ? Thx
Great instructions . Very clear and precise. Thanks.
Dope paintjob👊👊👊
Fun and informative.
Thank you for watching, Bill at www.mnpctech.com
Can we install a shock absorber on the front wheel
Can you please make a vedio on bicycle best lights and indicators
13:30 too bad all you can hear is the hum of your loud tires.... not a bad thing. I added 3 sprockets and front derailer. Need 30 gears where I live.
Sir i like this video
Sir tell me price of rear and back wheel
rubbing alcohol wont cause grips to slip. it literally evaporates so quickly.
Those grips are killing me
What is the model of the raceface crank and hollowtech II ???
Wow how much does it cost
You built a very nice bike great job! Really enjoyed this video.
