Fattest tire you've got in this frame so far?

@makinitwork416 2 күн бұрын

Currently, it has 700x42c. So far, the biggest were 700x45c. They fit with no trouble. My guess is that even 47c would fit, but just a guess.

I am preparing to do this job on my '09 Tacoma TRD OffRoad Access Cab. I have watched a lot of KZbin videos to get some ideas of what I will have to look forward to. Your video is the only one that I have seen that actually shows how to do this job CORRECTLY! Most people have used a hammer to put the caps back on the spiders, and none have tightened the yoke next to the bearing to 134 ft/lbs and then backed it off and retightened to 51 ft/lb. I don't have the Amazon bearing tool, but think that I can manage with a 6-inch vice and some sockets. BTW the Zerk fittings are 8mm, not 7.

Good review, well done. This is clearly the previous generation model; the very latest has through axles and flat mount brakes, and the colour you have is really nice, and I'm glad you got it for a bargain. I have a Straggler and I wanted a Disc Trucker but was unable to find a frameset at the time. I like my Straggler lots but I'm still keen on a Trucker, and there's plenty of room in my heart for more bikes.

A Kona Dew is a beater bike? I know it's not top of the line but it's one hell of a nice bike. If I didn't have two bikes that I enjoy riding already it would be one I wouldn't mind to replace one of mine. My stuff is just cheap Chinese bikes but it does the trick.

You could try the Kona Archives. If you google it, you'll see a link from Kona. You could also just google Kona dew with cantilevers and see if you see any similar images. Those may help identify the year. My guess is early 2000's or older. It'll probably last another 30 years with a good rebuild :)

I just loosened the bolt a little and it came out with the pedal assembly as there is a groove in the bracket. Originally I tried to just remove the master cylinder. Bad idea. I got it out but was unable to get the supply hose on the new one so I ended up pulling the whole assembly out. Your video helped. Thanks.

You did a wonderful job ! Two points of critique: When removing the wheel bearings it is better to remove that metal dustcap thingy first. Cleaning will ne much more easy and thorough that way. Second : that see through plastic protector behind the casette could have done with a proper cleanup, or otherwise, could have been completely removed. Cheers !

@makinitwork416 2 жыл бұрын

Hard to know for sure. If you shove larger wheels in the frame, you might not be able to use V-brakes. Disc brakes would be your best option. I think Trek 800 frames were all V-brake (cantilever) brake, so that frame might not be the best option for larger wheels. I love the idea of doing a gravel build though!

How did you set up the gearing after chopping the cables , are you experienced with this type of work or just youtube with trial and error . the bike came out refreshed so will you be doing more like this👍👍🚲

thanks for the comment Peter. I've been a mechanic for years, so I'm really comfortable with this stuff. Link below for the grease gun I use. I normally just fill it with a bearing grease I get from Canadian Tire. I get a marine grade bearing grease so that it handles weather well. The crank puller is from ParkTool and it wasn't very expensive...maybe $20. Well worth it! I did end up changing the bottom bracket with a new RaceFace one, but wasn't able to show that in the video. The bike totally rides like a dream now. If you've got an older Giant, I'd highly recommend tinkering with it. They can be a lot of fun to rebuild! www.amazon.ca/Astro-Pneumatic-101-Grease-Needle/dp/B000FMK7FG/ref=sr_1_32?keywords=grease+gun&qid=1669314509&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjMyIiwicXNhIjoiNS4yOCIsInFzcCI6IjQuOTMifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=grease%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-32
