I've begun to love tinkering with my bike and doing work on it myself. The other day, I switched out my handlebars and installed new brake levers and cables all by myself! I felt so proud! Thanks for inspiring me to ride my bike! :D
Wheel building is so satisfying but I have to say my first set was quite stressful but once you get in the flow its a nice process of focus and seeing things take shape, become true in all dimensions - I think it gives you more of an appreciation and mechanical sympathy.
Thanks for covering Rookey bikes. I saw his work on YT at the Portland Bike Maker's Show and was blown away at his craftsmanship. I'm amazed at how much skill he has for the limited time he has been a frame builder. He's a tremendous talent.
Hey, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos. You've inspired me to commute to my university by bike and it often really is the best part of my day. Even now when I'm during my exam period I try to ride my bike as much as I can. Thanks, cheers from Poland!
Great to hear the word plethora on TH-cam plus also good to see it related to bike lanes. Nice that you had a pause between phase one and the tension part. Free Palestine! ✊
After 40 years of tinkering with bikes, I decided to try my hand at wheel building back at the start of the pandemic. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And it’s quite satisfying to ride on wheels that you’ve built yourself. A great resource for me is ‘Wheel Building’ by Roger Musson. It’s an e-book that you can find online for 9 pounds (yes, he’s English). I read several wheel building guides prior to picking this one up, including the classic by Jobst Brandt, but none ‘spoke’ to me like Roger’s book. Highly recommended and a valuable resource. Good luck with your rebuilding journey.
Man I wish I could afford the lovely bikes you show in your vids. I only have a $200 cheapo all-stock Trinx MTB for my commute/strolls/errands. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love riding it as a matter of fact I have over 4k km on it. It's just I get a wee bit envious of the gorgeous bikes I see. Really really love your videos, it makes me want to ride for no reason at all! ❤
You're such a chill dude, I love your videos. I was thinking about your channel today while riding my bike and overthinking. It helped with just enjoying the moment :)
LOVE! Thanks for taking the time to shoot, edit and share another video. I have a slight buckle in my rear when that I'm going to see if I can true out myself this weekend 🍉
I started my first wheelbuild 1,5 years ago out of necessity since I couldn't find any nice silver hubs with silver spokes and rims. I since had to replace a handful of nipples due to me squashing them when building the wheels :D - I've built a couple of wheels for my vintage bikes since then, because they come with 126mm O.L.D. and you don't find those prebuilt anymore. Being able to wheelbuild opens up a whole world of opportunites, so kudos for learning it and getting into it. (I used a video from a trials rider Ali Clarkson - cannot reccomend enough!)
I've binged your videos lately and look forward to each new one every week! I've never seen how bicycle wheels are assembled before and it was really interesting. I'm spending a lot more time on my bike lately thanks to you. Sadly the lovely classic steel bikes like the ones you have seem almost impossible to find here in Iceland, but I can dream of owning one some day!
You're a brave man for tackling wheel-building. I have Jobst Brandt's book on wheel building and a truing stand, but have not summoned the patience and self-forgiveness to try it. Also, I'm here for the swearing at cars. Don't take that away from us.
do it! - I find the only daunting task to be determining spoke lengths. But online calculators are really helpful. If you can, measure your hubs and rims ERD before you order your spokes. it's much more rewarding to have the right length of spokes from the get go, than to realise halfway thru the wheelbuild that they are either too short, or too long. :D (happend to me). Also, patience is key. And start with a 3cross lacing pattern. :)
I'm building my old 1985 Ross Mount Whitney into a touring bike. I'm doing it for two reasons. 1. It was my first bike that I bought when I went to college, and I can't bear to part with it but it's just collecting dust now. 2. I want to learn how to fix anything on it and maintain it myself.
Great stuff man! Well done on the wheel and thank you for another lovely video. I’m living vicariously living in Seoul. I must figure out what a cortado is and where I can find one here.
Anyone else notice the resemblance between Bonanza's interior design and Coava's (now closed) location in SW Portland? I miss that location and their green wall.
For me, you have invented the “skedaddle.” Every single time I get a notification that you have posted a new video, I hit a quick skedaddle to make a cup of coffee. Then I skedaddle to find a comfortable seat so that I can watch undisturbed. 😂 I enjoy every second of your content. Thank you for continuing to post. It’s nice to have these moments of pure enjoyment each week!❤
i love how calm your videos are :) i was wondering if it would be possible to have a video on building a bike from scratch? i'd imagine it would be really nice to both watch and listen to your narration of your process!

Hi! I love all your videos your content is so inspiring and relaxing. I’ve started biking so much more and taking my time and I love it so much.

You should check this penknife out, it’s a Mercator Buckels, from Otter knives, a great breakfast knife blade, very handy for on the go, hiking etc, without the worry if your penknife is legal, not sure of laws in Korea , I used to cycle a lot but stopped for whatever reason, but your videos are giving me a itch. Thanks
@@Ey_upit’s just a Mercator handle with the buckel blade, traditional German breakfast knife, it would be better quality over a opinel knife, you can get butter knives from all over with different designs, but otter are hand finished, and can be addictive penknives to buy, have a few opinel myself also , great basic knife for a very good price
@@probablyriding thank you! I said this guy just tides his bike goes and gets coffee and does a voiceover. It’s so refreshing compared to people screaming at you to subscribe.

Ex-German Chancellor Merkel once said, “Cyclists do have their own interpretation of traffic rules. But we are not pushing hard for obeying the rules, but for better and more bike paths and as far as helmets go for cyclists, we focus on the voluntary usage and not bringing in laws for that.”..So.. yeah, there is no right or wrong in cycling. Just ride responsibly.😅

It’s satisfying to be able to tinker yourself. New bars always switch things up nicely. Enjoy!
Bike building is fun and rewarding.

Wheel building is so satisfying but I have to say my first set was quite stressful but once you get in the flow its a nice process of focus and seeing things take shape, become true in all dimensions - I think it gives you more of an appreciation and mechanical sympathy.
I enjoyed the flow and the guidance of Rookey Bike helped with the stressful part.

He makes very nice bikes and is a nice guy too!
It’s a slippery slope. Today it’s a set of wheels, next you’ll be back at Rookey to build yourself a frame!
Don’t tempt me!
Life has been rough as of late. Appreciate the distraction, truly. Thank you.
Hope things get better for you.

Your videos are giving me all sorts of ideas for my own future shop. The bike culture in Seoul looks very cool! More shop visits!!!
Great to hear!
Tinkering with a bike is so much more satisfying than tinkering with a car
So true. And easier.
And cheaper
I started liking riding bike since watching your videos. Almost every day riding in Daegu where i live. Keep it up! 🙌

Thanks!
The wheel looks great! I’d like a new set at some point soon and you’ve inspired me to look into possibly building them instead of buying a set.
Go for it!
Another great one mate 👌
I tell you, wheelbuilding has always intimidated me. It's like some sort of socercery 😅
Thanks! Rookey bike explained the magic pretty well.
Nice one, man. Taking my bike to the shop today in Busan. Decided to stick with 700c and i'll squeeze the biggest tyres I can on, with my fenders.
Nice. Probably best to have the wheels it’s designed for. I’m sure you can get tires wide enough for comfort.
Lovely just lovely ❤

Hope local bike shops do workshops for wheel building and other necessary basic maintenance/building for bikes
They exist. In London, there’s Babyldn bikes and London Bike Kitchen which hold community workshops. Pretty cool
