When I built mine I have like a pack of wierd size spacers for the fork cutting and use a size that's just a tad smaller than what ur gonna use and enough room for the saw blade and ur good and good it down with stem clamp. Bottum bracket tool like 5$ and a cheap multi tool for the chain. And depends on the headset my fixed gear frame is aluminum carbon fork so the headset bearing just seat in like at a angle and held then with the compression from the top stem clamp and I like the ones that expand outwards in the forktube with an Allen key then you screw on the top when using carbon forks.
5:02 if you put the wheel against a wall, you’ll have two points fixing it (wall&floor); makes it way easier to mount/unmount sprockets and lock rings 😉 Nice build, though!
built up a metallic lilac steamroller for a friend just the other day. there was a lot more hammer involved, and i used a threaded rod and some washers and bolts as a headset press. came out pretty clean though, and i love that it fits 40mm tires. my '06 steamroller was my first fixed gear bike, and my first tracklocross build as well. being able to take a fixie off-road really teaches you a lot as a rider
BIG Fan of the Surly Steamroller!! Mine is fixed too, although its gearing is gentler on my ankles at 48T and 19T. (Badly sprained Both of my ankles At the Same time, couple of years back!)
Super nice build. Provided that it allows it i would use a Shimano Alfine 11 speeds integrated hub for more flexibility. But then again it's just how i would use it.
Thanks man! The only thing stopping you I think would be the rear hub spacing. Surly make a ‘cross check’ that would probably work nicely with a hub like that
And you probably already know 1" and 1 1/8" versions have different axle-race distance. I also looked for wider fork and 1 1/8 is 10mm higher than mine so geo would change and top tube would be sloping - what a pity....
The gap between those wheels and the frame is minimal. You can catch a rock and scratch the painting or worse. To me, it's no worth the risk. I don't think that frame was made for wide tires. Still, that's a nice bike so, good job. Cheers!
Thanks man, the frame is actually designed for wide tires (38c). This gap can be widened by pulling the wheel further back in the drop outs. It’s all to do with the size of your chainring, cog and chain length. The frame can actually fit wider tires (40/42c)
Are the cranks threaded on the arms rather than using traditional chainring bolts? Also shouldn’t you have tightened the bolts by tightening one and then skipping one until all of them been have been tightened to avoid tight spots?
No they are normal chainring bolts, the female bolt just fits snugly in the crank arm. And yes, I only showed gently tightening them up. I tightened them properly out of shot
What a great video. I can't wait til they restock these frames. I haven't ridden a fixie since I learned as a kid. Any feedback on how the fitting is for these frames? The 49cm looks like it would be the size for me. I'm 5'7.5, 30.75in bike inseam, mostly legs, shorter torso and arms. Any advice would be appreciated.
I noticed this is a 53cm, how tall are you? I am looking to upgrade my bike and am trying to choose between 49cm and 53cm for a more aggressive ride. Thanks so much for this straight to the point build! 👍
Hello can i ask how much is the cost for this build and where i can buy those parts? Im from philippines and i am planning to do this.. Thanks in advance👌👌
I envy you guys that are able to obtain a sugino 75. I haven’t seen one in years in any european Shop with a delivery time of under „unknown“ or „currently not available“ ... that sucks man!!!
@@waveywheelies Haven't seen any in a while that are easily shippable to Germany and wouldn't cost as much as a new pair though. I have currently settled on Dura Ace track chain rings and Miche Pistard cranks. It is a trade-off. But it is an okay one for now. It's not that bad and I can ride
waveywheelies yeah, the pistard are relatively stiff. I ride them on my track bike. On my “general purpose fixie” I have the Miche Primato at the Moment. Not as stiff but good enough for racing around the city. Regarding how it is to get stuff here ... I tried finding the Pizz bolt on tray/flat bar combo anywhere near me. Impossibru!! Only the cheap Aliexpress knockoffs. Damnit
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get good quality frames like that one that aren’t really expensive. I want to build a single speed/fixie but don’t wanna spend crazy money on the frame.
Hey! Hard to say as it can be very personal, I’ve got a 53 and 56 steamroller and I like how they both feel and I’m 5’10. I prefer the smaller one for learning tricks and messing around on
@@waveywheelies thank you sir! I appreciate the reply! So hard to be in between sizes, but I might go for the 53 to somewhat get a higher stack height.. hmmm it's just that the reach of the SR is a bit long.. surlys fit a bit long / big. Hmmm thank you for your insight!
May I ask how tall are you? Because I am 6.17 or 188cm and I can not decide between what size steamroller should I get, 56 or larger, but mostly I am thinking about a 56 what I can make larger with spacers and a longer stem. Thank you in advance for your answer

Thanks for helping me realize I have none of the tools that I need to build my own bike lol.
Hahah! The right tools just make the job easier. You can usually get away with using very minimal tools

@@waveywheelies What about the headset one? What tool can be use???
Bhubest Suksamang block of wood and a hammer
@@appetit2619 Block of Wood and hammer, works for me Everytime
Sweet build. Just threw some 750 mm bars on my SS today and for an old dude like me, they rock. I am 52 so I need brakes, but I still run 48/16T. 👊🏻
Awesome man! Wide bars are the jam. Nothing wrong with brakes 🤙
do 17t also 17 patches 48/16 1skid patch
sooo satisfying to watch! thank you for actually showing ride footage too, lol
Thanks man, and of course!
So true
Seriously these never show ride footage. Loved the bid
5:02 if you put the wheel against a wall, you’ll have two points fixing it (wall&floor); makes it way easier to mount/unmount sprockets and lock rings 😉
Nice build, though!
Cheers bro! Thanks for the tip! 🤙
this video makes me want to build another bike.

Aye sick! Yeah that’s all you need really haha. Such a fun bike to ride aye! Temped to put on some nobly tires and take it to the trails 🤙
@@waveywheelies thought peoples here might like this : www.63xc.com
should have said 63XC specialised in fixed off road - the site is a treasure trove of info on all things fixed ...
BIG Fan of the Surly Steamroller!!
Mine is fixed too, although its gearing is gentler on my ankles at 48T and 19T. (Badly sprained Both of my ankles At the Same time, couple of years back!)
Damnit now i need a wide wheel’d fixie! Dope upload!
Yes you do! and thanks bro!
I think that was the nicest square taper bottom bracket iv seen
thanks for making the most addicting channel on earth... :)
glad you enjoy it!
Tire drop was clean! Sick video and build.
Thanks bro!
Sam pilgrim style my guy
it's look so good that make want to change my wheelset 25c tyres into 38c. Your videos transmit perfectly those feelings of building your own bike :)
Yes go wide! And thanks, appreciate it bro
Insanely gorgeous build!!
Nice bike. Remember with the TH-cam algorithm you always make more money if your video goes over 10min :)
Definitely a dream bike for me!
Love my Steamroller should've done a Sugino bottom bracket to match the crankset!
fresh! love the build bro
Thanks bro! Such a fun ride, just need to hit some trails now..
Glad you added some foam to the top tube! 😱
You inspired me to turn my old road bike into a fixed gear thank you!
That’s awesome to hear! How did it turn out?
@@waveywheelies it’s amazing it’s a 1980 Raleigh Grand Prix in pearl silver. Gotta love vintage steel!
ребят, вы просто лучшие!!! очень крутые байки делаете, успехов вам.
The beat is so monotonous and loving.
That clearance tho 😍❤️6:39
the handlebars are huge
Super nice build. Provided that it allows it i would use a Shimano Alfine 11 speeds integrated hub for more flexibility. But then again it's just how i would use it.
Thanks man! The only thing stopping you I think would be the rear hub spacing. Surly make a ‘cross check’ that would probably work nicely with a hub like that
Fixed gear builds though short are underrated
Crazy coincidence, been looking at putting together a steamroller, I think the universe is trying to tell me something lol
lrdefender1690 do it man! One of my favourite rides
@@waveywheelies weight ?? how much??
When he threw the grip and boom it was on the handlebar, I had to rewind it lol
Did you miss the tires at like 4:45?
Fix - the victory of marketing over reason.
Dude the music is awesome especially when at 1:26 when is started playing sound in my right ear oooohhhhweeeee
Fixed gear rider here. The very minimal bike😍😊
Es normal que la rueda quede tan cerca del cuadro? Pregunto por que en mi bicicleta queda a la misma distancia. Excelente video
Great build. I need to practice taking apart and putting back together my bikes
Thanks bro
SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN LOOKING 💯👀 🚲
Noice build! But wtf that snare is so overpowering!!!
omg its an art piece
Super satisfying. Great video 👍
I would of added 1 half link to the chain so the back tire was not so close to the frame. It's a good looking bike.
Bro thanks for the awesome vids and the added info! Love to build one like this
Thanks bro! You definitely should!
A box of beers to a friendly bike shop mechanic might gain you access to a workshop though...
How much did it cost?
insaneee,wish i could have on my birthday
Dat clearance though
*The beat is pumping in my brain wtf*
satisfying to watch
Just found this exact frame someone in my neighborhood was throwing away. Repainting it and doing a build up
Throwing away!😧 Sounds like a rad build bro!
Great build
Dope🔥nice build sir
Nice work . 🏆🎉
Thanks yo! Your guys videos are rad 🤙
waveywheelies your vids too. Have a nice day.
damn ive been looking for a nice frame set with tyre clearance this high
Get one bro, you won’t regret it 🤙
Finally a video with good backtracking music
Veja só isso cara, que coisa mais linda, quem dera, que eu pudesse dar pelo menos uma volta nela! Kkk :'(
Lovely looking.
sweet whip. building up my steamroller this weekend! any recs on grease for the fork and headset?
Thanks bro, sounds dope! I just use Finish Line Premium Grease, nothing special really. Any bike specific grease will be good bro 🤙
thnaks po nakakarelax panoorin
Sweet build!
Uuuuuuuffff , nice build man
Nice build
omg, look at that egg on the rear wheel!
So cool! Im thinking about getting a Surly Steamroller fork for my fixed bike, its valid for any kind of frame, right?
Yeah man will fit most frames as long as it’s 1 1/8” Threadless and not 1” or threaded
And you probably already know 1" and 1 1/8" versions have different axle-race distance. I also looked for wider fork and 1 1/8 is 10mm higher than mine so geo would change and top tube would be sloping - what a pity....
been running one on my Fort Ro.Uno for about 15 years now
Looks a bit as a Tracklocross. Aweso mate!
Yeah it definitely is! Thanks✌️
Bro such a awesome bike bro
That’s a dope build
Thanks bro!
Gorgeous bro👍
Thanks bro✌️
Awesome build 😎👌👌👌
Thanks bro 🤙
Dope build. What's your gear ratio? I'd love to build something similar where I can pop wheelies and cruise around at a moderate cadence
Thanks! I usually run 46-16 or 48-17. I find it’s a nice ratio for the hills and tricks
@@waveywheelies but on this build you were using 49-16 and you were riding effortless, that's impressive
what a beauty!
The gap between those wheels and the frame is minimal. You can catch a rock and scratch the painting or worse. To me, it's no worth the risk. I don't think that frame was made for wide tires. Still, that's a nice bike so, good job. Cheers!

That's cool. But what's on the shelf behind you there?
Awesome from PH here

So beautiful😍
Those clearance 😳 lol
how about truing of the wheel? it would be nice if we add that part in your video...anyway nice build
Are the cranks threaded on the arms rather than using traditional chainring bolts? Also shouldn’t you have tightened the bolts by tightening one and then skipping one until all of them been have been tightened to avoid tight spots?

Surly oh surly😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
What a great video. I can't wait til they restock these frames. I haven't ridden a fixie since I learned as a kid.

Thanks! Surly should have a sizing chart on their website. All I can say is that this is a 53cm and in 5’10” and it fits me well
Like this video😍
How much price full bike ?
That's a filthy build I see it's a 53cm. I'm curious about how tall are you?
Just wondering would that be a good size for me
Im 5'11, I prefer a slightly smaller frame so its probably on the small side for anyone taller than me. How tall are you?
Ok where the same height coo thanks
Thanks mate, another great build🙌🏻 do you think you could fit a brake on the front forks with the 700x38 tyres? Cheers
Yep I’ve seen it done, might be pretty tight clearance though so would depend on brake calliper and also tyre tread
Hey may be I didn’t rode enough comments but what bearings (bb and headset are u recommend on a budget.thks
So those Miche X-Press Road/Track Bike Wheels can hold a 38mm tire? They look narrow
Incredible build brother!
I'd love to know what size tires you're running and what your wheel build is?
Thanks bro! Appreciate that! They are Schwalbe Range Cruiser 700x38c and the wheels are Miche Primato with the decals removed
super cool!
The music reminds me of Midnight Club (is that what the game was called?) On the PS2.
I noticed this is a 53cm, how tall are you? I am looking to upgrade my bike and am trying to choose between 49cm and 53cm for a more aggressive ride. Thanks so much for this straight to the point build! 👍
Thanks bro! I’m about 5’10, I have a few 56cm frames but I prefer a slightly smaller frame 🤙
Nice job. It looks awesome but why get all those sick silver components and leave out the seatpost?
Thanks man! Funny you say that cause I was actually looking for a silver Thomson post for it, but couldn’t get my hands on one
Your the best!🇵🇭
awesome build, just one question regarding the decals on the frame. any clearcoat or can they be easily removed?
Thanks! They can be removed, theres no clear coat over them
Nice build. Subbed .
Thanks man!
Love the bike but not using a torque wrench hurts a bit

I want to upgrade my Azor with a new bottombracket/chainring. I ride >+8000km/5000miles per year on road.
Any suggestions?

You can try getting them off facebook marketplace/eBay, bikesdirect.com also has some for good prices.

Thanks bro! Pretty sure it’s 120mm
