Why bring a tube (let alone two) when you have tubeless tyres? What does a tube fix that a tubeless repair kit won't? (and I would include a tube of special glue for bikepacking)

In the handle of the master link tool is a Y shape slot. It is almost the right width for removing or tightening valve cores. I only a needed a very few seconds with a tiny file to get the size to perfection. So much better than a separate tiny, easy-to-lose, tool, and it weighs and extra 0 grams.

Cool bike, bit of a shame you don’t run Chinese wheels. I do mtb races at quite a level and I have had 4 bikes all with Chinese rims and never had any problemsn

I thought of doing this but i would be worried of stuff snapping and getting hurt. Are you planning on taking it on anything more rough then dirt roads?

You mean assemble the bike, you're building nothing

Whats the total weight?

Half the bike it's not from Aliexpres. Bullshit video..

Nice build dude. I can recommend use Continental tyres Race King Performance 2.2" in back and Cross King Performance 2.2" in front and I think for XC that is super. I also seen Tom Pidcock use them on that Pinarello Dogma MTB so it must be good :D (he had both tyres race king tho)

Apparently the frame is a replica of a Scott Scale :).

I'm surprised you were able to order. Every time I try to order from Ali Express, both my credit cards block the sale?

Aren't those brakes overkill for an XC bike? I got simple cheap mt200's and they do their job fine. They do fade a bit off course, but none of my loops is taxing enough on them where it really matters.

Thanks for walking through your self built bike. I enjoy building bikes, you can build them to ride how you want, get to try different parts, and smile when you find that great value part. I also build electric commuters and MTB, and share batteries between the builds. Enjoy testing the different motors, including the CYC Photon.

Amazing build and awesome looking bike! Though you might want to have a look at the direction that front tire is mounted right now..

It would be interesting to take that frame and handlebars to carbon repair shop to check for voids in carbon layout. It would provide information about quality and how much you can trust the bike.

For good path only to avoid issue

Nice build bro. Im sure you'll be competitive with this build

Prices quoted in Swiss francs? Listening to your pronunciation, your english sounds good. Maybe a vague German cadence? I bet you are from some German-speaking canton in northern CH, am I wrong? And not from Canton Valais, please🙄🙄🙄(where the people, one of the most provincial populations ever known, cannot - doesn't like? - communicate except by using a confused Franco-German dialect, and nobody knows English, in 2024!!! Btw, thank you for the video🙏

I also bought your #2,3,and 4. Agreed those items have good quality and very reasonably priced. Also I would recommend HR monitor / Cadence / speed monitors.

I thought You have more subscribers than 181. I am not english native speaker and I appreciate speakers who normally speaks like you and I can understand them. Nice video! Sorry for my grammar.

1:38 these are not tubeless compatible, i have yet to have a problem, however, pss- *cuts out*

Great video, man! Gave me inspiration to start my channel. I've been buying Aliex parts in the last two years and i recently finished my MTB build with some Aliex parts in it. I live in Brazil and their parts are a great save of money.

Im going to be honest, ive started to move away from Aliexpress on my bikes now. I love their products, and they were very, very appealing in my early mountain bike days. However, its just been nothing but problems. Between the long shipping, so so returns, lack of dealers, and wide variety of quality, its just been better to find deals from other brands. Ive bought two XD cassettes from Zitto, they were about $100. The greatest build quality ever, super super light with great range. But after about 150 miles, both cassettes developed play. It would be fully tightened on the hub and still wiggle slightly. It led to bad shifting sometimes, an awful grinding noise, and might have led to the downfall of my hub, as the internals literally exploded metal on the inside but that might not be related. So im going to look for an actual xx1 cassette once it wears out again. I bought some inexpensive mountain bike shoes and used them for about 2 years. They were super ripped and scratched and scarred but somehow held together. When riding the shoe I could never get the cleat far back enough as there wasnt built in enough room to push it back. For 2 years I had really bad foot pain when riding because of how far forward and to the right the cleats were, but I just thought thats how clipless shoes were. But then I bought a pair of Giro shoes for about $70, and for the first time was able to get the cleats in a good position. Turns out it was simply bad design on the part of the aliexpress shoes, and it all could have been avoided if I had spent $20 more.

Nice build. For that budget I probably would've used a cheaper fork and spent money on a better drivetrain. Ltwoo now has rear mech's with a sort of clutch that works well. I have one on my chinese gravel bike and it has zero chain slap or chain drops.

Just got done with my Aliexpress carbon build. HyperX Carbon walmart i ended up getting free after trading. Carbon bars Carbon seat post MT200 hydraulic brakes Buckaloos stuff Bolany fork Shimano Deore drive Ceramic bottom bracket Every other oart from Alieexpress. Total build cost = $322.13 for a Carbon hard tail 29er with an air fork. I also have a RAW jibb with thousands invested. This build was for fun to see how cheap i could build a decent Carbon bike.

Pretty sure the brand is SPCycle, not SpyCycle. Also, the listing title is not the model. It's just a sting of search terms that describe the product. Pretty sure this frame is called the SP-M05. I wouldn't put any more or less faith in carbon over other materials. Plenty of aluminium and steel frames have snapped. I have those same wheels on the bike I race marathons on. The rims and really soft. I destroyed the rear rim in the first race. Replaced it with a Spank rim which has been a lot more reliable.

Is that a 27.5 fork? 2.10 feels to tight for that fork

Sunshine is not very good

Have you had a look at a Waltly titanium frame with custom geometry? You could transfer some of the parts of this build.

would you mind sharing the store link of where you got the bike frame?

The derrailleur is ltwoo not zzitto. Love your video you got a new suscriptor

If you’re concerned about the carbon fiber parts, it could always be a pavement princess.

I would go with titanium parts, particularly frame.

If You need cheap Brakes, Try Zoom, I've seen so many enduro riders use it, and i'd say its tested in my country, or shimano mt201

Dangerous Bike! 🤔🤔🤔😮

You could have gotten some decent goldix wheels for $600 and the build would have been in the sub 22lbs.

I’ve thought about making this video

How were you able to get the crank brothers chain tool off their multi-tool and onto the topeak mini 9?

make a video when you buy everthig on ali, so this title is worthy and not just clikbait

Junge warum redest du nicht deutsch Du siehst dass du mit Englisch nicht weit kommst Der deutschsprachige Raum hat wesentlich mehr Abonnenten und auch da wärst du viel erfolgreicher

2400 euros, for that price you might as well get a name brand bike.

Just like in the west, looking for popular domestic brands and authentic product is probably the only way to avoid a stinker for important components

Do they sell derailleur hangers as spares, or are you completely screwed the second you break the one you got?

I'd recommend putting on at least 180mm brake rotors

Riding a chyna carbon frame, you need your head read..

BEAUTIFUL BIKE

i mean.. you didn't follow the premise of the title of your video

Rear cassette, too heavy, and looks stupid, just walk if its that steep.

Chinese troops are in Belarus fully armed and practicing war in Europe. We have to stop funding China.

I had a blow out with non tubeless tyres. Could of been catastrophic. I was lucky...
