[@jellis7042]

Always enjoy your videos. Please don't make it short. I like the part 1, 2, 3..... It's fun to watch you two with all the mishaps, haha. Also thanks for the shout out! (Don't worry about the name)

[@cruisinginthe808]

It's funny how things end up. We plan nothing out except what parts we "hope" to put on it and see how things go! I like the multiple parts too cause it just gives us more of an excuse to hang out again! Thanks for watching and for the comment! Appreciate you!

[@seandan68]

Nice bike!! Im in Perham ,Mn Just got a mafiabike 29er and used Magura MT7 hydraulic brakes. Great videos too!!

[@cruisinginthe808]

[@cruisinginthe808]

Haha! I almost want to say every bike is a struggle bike with us! I'm gonna keep that in mind though....that might end up on a t-shirt or something! Thanks for the idea! Appreciate you watching and sharing!

Big Hello from Sacramento, California

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for watching Jordan, and Aloha from Hawaii!

[@passenger-rider]

Amazing bike build. Keep it up!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for leaving that comment and for watching! Much appreciated!

A tip that might help preserve a leather seat is warm bees wax. I treated the leather uppers on a pair of LL Bean Duck boots and they've been water proof for 35 years and counting. You would need to treat both sides and all edges with the warm bees wax by simply rubbing it into the leather let it dry and you're done.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for that tip! We will keep that in mind if we ever get a leather seat. But anyone else that sees this comment now knows about this awesome tip too so thanks for sharing that! Appreciate you watching!

[@tmbmx]

@@cruisinginthe808 Always happy to help my fellow brothers of terra firma. 😎🤙

[@tonythetourist2025]

I use a center point punch to open the cable housing or a ice pick. Also small rasp to file sharp edges.

[@cruisinginthe808]

I like that idea. I can totally see an ice pick being used here. And it's a good idea to shave down those sharp edges too. Thanks for watching and for the tip!

[@WheelTok]

Ope!✨ Thank you both of you for your sharing your fun experience with us! I’m thinking Bernie could cover those brake mounts with some cool eraser caps (Radical Rick?) OR… run dual brakes. The handle bar would look symmetrical with two brake levers and he’d have the option of braking with either hand which comes in clutch for us content creators👊😃☀️🌴🔪🔨 #WheelTok

[@cruisinginthe808]

Great idea!! You know, I feel the safest when filming on the Monster Quad because I can hold a camera with either hand and still have access to a brake! Thanks for the tip!!!

[@WheelTok]

@@cruisinginthe808 Yessah! Dare to Be Different💯👊😃☀️🌴🔪🔨 DMF

[@PolyCProduction]

Aloha/Mahalo for the add to the check out section! Yep as a content creator I 2nd the dual brake action. Looking forward to part 3. Shoots 🤙

[@tonythetourist2025]

In the rear section where the old brakes go, you could put some anodized bolts to seal it and give it character.

[@cruisinginthe808]

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip and for watching!

[@tmbmx]

Shout out from Arizona. I'm a spec wearing old dude myself 🤓

[@cruisinginthe808]

Ahh, unfortunately most of us our age are gonna needs those glasses! Thanks for watching and for the comment! Much appreciated!

[@rvguy123ps]

As always brother U2 make a great comedic team And not too bad a bike builders either if you’re ever in Tucson hit me up

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks man! Bernie lived in Arizona for a while and still has a house there! We need to get out on the road and do a road trip and meet everyone! Definitely want to to you! Thanks for watching!

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Happy Friday guys! Creaking from the BB area could be numerous things. As the master kid mentioned below, lots and lots of grease! But yes, the bearings can get rusty from lots of water getting in there. They are sealed, but water will get in there eventually. CHECK YOUR CRANK BOLTS FREQUENTLY!! I lost a $15 Profile crank bolt ($30 for the set) recently on a ride. I don't like using thread locker, but I will probably use some because those Profile bolts are so expensive. Regarding your comment about measuring spindle, that's only if there is extra space and you need to add spacers to either side (I had a 6" spindle on my last build, wider than normal). Your build seemed to fit perfect, so no measurements needed! Regarding the brake boss/mounts, yes the ones that are one-piece welded on are cheaper to manufacture. The ones that will un-thread usually have two small flat areas towards the base so you can get a wrench on there :D :D :D Loving this bike!

[@cruisinginthe808]

As always, great advice! Yeah, lots of grease definitely helps! And I know what you mean about using some sort of thread locker. I'm hesitant too as I want to be able to get the bolt off easily but I don't want to lose that sucker on a ride! Always a good idea to check the tightness of that bolt before each ride. Thanks for watching and for more great advice! Appreciate you man!

[@johncarlson2258]

I'm curious. Bernie, of the two Hutches, which do you honestly prefer and why. The white 29" Hutch or the chrome 26" Hutch?

[@CG-fj5se]

That’s beauty. What bars?

[@cruisinginthe808]

These are "CW style" bars. They are not original CW bars but a repop from someone else. Bernie got it off ebay. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@rvguy123ps]

Chain tensioners would save his frame from scratching

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yep, I agree. I think the plan is to get the chrome plated ones from Billet BMX but they aren't in stock right now. The chrome Deeznuts are insane! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@john101004]

Where the brakes go the two points find bullet shells that will fit over and polish the shells

[@cruisinginthe808]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing that tip and for watching! Much appreciated!

[@the.master.kid132]

Cut 2 or 3 inches out of the housing n it will work U got plenty of room with the cable

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Right, there is plenty of cable if they cut more of the housing off.

[@cruisinginthe808]

You think so? Yeah, maybe you're right. Thanks!

[@Paul-d8q2z]

The hard way is the only way =)

[@cfmechanic]

Cut the housing for the cable u easiy can loose an inch and then that cable will work perfect

[@kevinshumaker3664]

You guys are friggin cool. Feels like I've known you for a long time. 🤘

[@cruisinginthe808]

Appreciate you saying that man! We go back a long way and have known each other for a long time. That helps! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!

[@ashpunting]

Hi my friends the is a leather brooks seat B66 with chrome spring suspension and it's very wide and I'm thinking about getting it and that bike is looking great really 🤔

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for that tip! Yeah, there are all sorts of Brooks seats out there. The trick is to find the right one! Thanks for watching another one and for the great comments!

[@ashpunting]

Those cables are plenty long enough for sure my Zooz cable is a lot shorter than they are,

[@ashpunting]

I think your supposed to peal of the shrink rap because it came of to easy 🤔

[@cruisinginthe808]

I was also thinking the same thing!

[@the.master.kid132]

Grease the heck out of the crank spindle n the inside of the crank n they won’t creek

[@cruisinginthe808]

Great advice! Thank you! Appreciate you watching and sharing your tips!

[@staffh3815]

You guys have a dubby

[@cruisinginthe808]

It may look like it, but we're just high on life and bikes! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@ashpunting]

Wow you do look like Evan Peter's you the double of him 😅😁👌👍🏾

[@ashpunting]

sorry that was not meant for you

[@cruisinginthe808]

No worries! All good! I was about to search up who Evan Peter was!

[@john101004]

Cutting the wire maybe a Dremel witha round disk shouldn’t kink the metal

[@cruisinginthe808]

I never thought of that before, great idea! Thanks for watching and for sharing that tip!

[@jessarellanes6648]

Cut the cable housing a little bit 😂

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yeah, we could cut that a little more. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@the.master.kid132]

It will b fine if you cut 3 inches more out of that cable trust me n it will look better not having all that cable hanging

[@cruisinginthe808]

Good point, that cable is looking a little long. Thanks man!

[@the.master.kid132]

The cable is way too long anyway you don’t need all that extra cable hanging up around by the handlebars

[@chrisparker7815]

Got mine! 🤙🤙 Sent some back at you.. also to shave some weight with the post and guts, check out Thomson Elite seatposts. The "Saga" continues.. LoL! Love it!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Great! Looking forward to it! Have you seen the Cook Bros titanium seat post? I wonder how light that is? I will check out the Thomson's and see what they are like. I have a new build coming up after Bernie's and I'm on the lookout for some good parts!
