Bike Build | 2020 Specialized Fuse

[@najhongflanax3674]

No irritating music..no jiberjabber..just enjoying the masterpiece and the master coming together.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@JustinVelo]

Thanks, dude!

[@benestes1689]

Perfect build! Not to bling, not to budget just right. Really enjoyed watching!

[@davidurias7642]

Just built my 2022 FUSE SPORT 27.5. Took all Specialized stuff off. Added WR1 carbon wheel set. Sram XX1 Cassette, XO1 derailleur, XO1 crankset w/ Sram Dub BB. Sram code RSC brakes. One Up carbon bar w/Chromag stem and Ergon grips. Specialized Power Expert saddle. One Up dropper and remote. Waiting for my Rockshox Pike Ultimate fork in May. Bike rides and handles like a dream.

[@JustinVelo]

Tasty upgrades!

[@onefortysix6955]

hardtails are the most beautiful bikes imo. Love the new fuse geometry and I wish they made the white frame available. Great build!

[@harvardfacebook7372]

Notice how Justin uses individual tools for every individual job, he never uses the same tool for a different task, professional. Great job buddy!

[@larrycole8673]

Dude, totally fun to watch...appreciated the non verbal step by step...solid!!

Excellent vid. Should've put some captions on the parts being assembled and the process itself to educate a newbie like me. 🤘✌️🚴‍♂️💪

[@NewYorkPinball]

Nice calm vibe, very zenlike! I didn't realize there was so much assembly involved, thought they just needed some minor assembly. Going to pick up my Fuse today, looking forward to trying it

[@dhones23]

I really enjoyed this video. I just built up 2020 Canfield Nimble 9, and I enjoy do the build process a great deal. Here, the mellow music, great shots and editing, and all the right tools made this much a more relaxing build than mine was. Well done!

I know this video is nearing two years old, but super happy to see that a 29x2.8 will fit on a Fuse. I will have to check clearance on my fork...

[@poppa5289]

That was quite relaxing well done Sir.

[@SueDohman]

Nice job! Nice bike! But I can’t ever imagine the day where I could actually be as calm & methodical about putting something together like that. Idk? I’m almost complete opposite but wish I was more like the builder. Probably less stress.

[@ICE329]

Nice build, with soothing background music. 🤙🤙🤙

[@davao0506]

nice build..your shop is neat,clean and organize

[@ShaneXCS]

I like the Chill aspect of this build video. The shots of the parts were just enough for a pause to read what you were installing. Would you be able to just add a Build List in future videos for easy reference?

[@JustinVelo]

Thanks for the comment. I’ll add the build list to the description of the video.

[@ShaneXCS]

@@JustinVelo Thanks. I see the parts list, Perfect! This is basically the build I had in mind for the Fuse as well. Still debating on a FS or stay with a HT. How do you like the ride of the build vs some of the FS bikes you have had?

This has to be the most relaxing building of any kind. Keep up the good work 💪🏽

[@stevenclease6500]

Great video, I do enjoy a relaxing bike build and the final result was excellent, nicely finished without being to bling. One question though, did that dropper post move up and down or was that a trick of the editing?

[@JustinVelo]

Little editing trick

[@LeBoosLeisure]

Awesome video man! I’m building a 2021 chisel and I have all XT components. I have the same kash money handlebar! I got the 10-45 xt cassette but I had to go with the short cage xtr derailleur! I’m learning so your video has helped me a lot! I saw you greased the hub before putting the cassette on. I was told to avoid doing that but what are your thoughts? Only thing I have left to buy are the fork, seat and rotors. I think ima go with the fox 32 stepcast fork. Oh I got the absolute black oval ring.

[@JustinVelo]

Good luck with the build, sounds like it’s gonna be a rad bike!

[@haroldmorales9866]

Hi! What is the stand did you use at 10:38? Thanks

[@ikertolosa]

Amazing build. The copper tone accents look great. Congrats! Very impressed that the 2.8 tires fit into this frame. How much is the travel of the fork? Did you weight the whole bike? Thanks for sharing!

[@JustinVelo]

With the adjustable dropouts, I wouldn’t be surprised if a 29x3.0 could fit as well. I may experiment with them. This fork is setup with 140mm travel. Bike weighs 30lbs.

[@mircea5013]

​@@JustinVelo Do you know the frame weight by any chance? Also what size it is? I'm not sure why I'm seeing pretty high weight numbers

nice change..no razz n sound..just cool

[@goodboyringo9716]

What bike stand are you using? Cool looking bike! Love the tire color not to bright . It would have been nice to list the parts , maybe someone would like to copy your build.

[@JustinVelo]

That is an old (20+ years) Park Tool stand. I just updated my description with parts/prices. Thanks for the comment!

[@goodboyringo9716]

@@JustinVelo ... Oh thanks you did the right thing . Do this with all videos and tell the viewers you listed the parts , more views I think.

[@goodboyringo9716]

@@JustinVelo ... Wow! That is a costly front fork !

[@JustinVelo]

It is costly. Feels great though. Marzocchi is now owned by Fox so it’s essentially a cheaper, heavier Fox 36 with less adjustability in the compression/rebound department.

[@damianlopez4706]

Éste modelo vendría a ser la evolución de aquella Specialized P3 de los años 2000?

[@LouMixvlogs]

[@edmundoayala8912]

So the derailleur housing magically routed itself through the frame?

[@mircea5013]

You said the bike weighs 30lbs, right? Is that with tubes and pedals?

[@caRpetbomBer1]

@9:00 that's the wrong cable routing for the rear derailleur.

[@wonderboy3345]

So I’m going to whistler for a few days later this year and I’m debating weather to get a nice hard tail so I can ride my local trails or whether to get an enduro bike. I need help on this thanks

[@JustinVelo]

That’s a tough call. If you mostly ride trails where a hardtail is appropriate, it might make sense to save money and get a well-built hardtail. Are you considering an Enduro bike just for Whistler? If so, could you rent an Enduro bike for that weekend?

[@wonderboy3345]

@@JustinVelo yeah I was thinking about that but I’m going to Moab and all of these other places but it is only for one trip and I don’t want to spend 1000 dollars to rent bikes

[@rocko882]

I got to start a collection of tools and the. Do me a rebuild on my fuji. Looks like fun.

[@HissLikeSteam]

Surprised to see the 2.8 wide tire fit. How much room was there? Can the chain stays be set to the shortest position with a 2.8 wide 29er tire?

[@JustinVelo]

Fit with room to spare. I did move the sliding rear dropouts back slightly to allow for the higher volume.

[@JustinVelo]

I will have to push the dropout forward and see where it becomes an issue. I’ll try to get back to you with the results.

[@HissLikeSteam]

Thanks for getting back to me. No need to move the dropouts forward, I was just curious. Using 2.8 tires surprised me and was wondering if there were clearance issues. It’s nice to hear there’s room to spare.

[@Riccotorres86]

I have the same bike, could you post a parts list?

Hey Ricardo, Just updated the description with a parts/price list. Let me know if you have any questions about what I chose.

According to your parts list this build cost around $3500. Why wouldn't you just buy the Fuse Expert 29 instead for $2400? It has SLX components as well.

[@JustinVelo]

We like making these frame-up build videos. Definitely more cost effective to purchase complete bikes verses individual components.

I can’t find the answer anywhere online.
