Thanks for helping me realize I have none of the tools that I need to build my own bike lol.

[@waveywheelies]

Hahah! The right tools just make the job easier. You can usually get away with using very minimal tools

[@luke2049]

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.

[@appetit2619]

Bhubest Suksamang block of wood and a hammer

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. 👊🏻

[@waveywheelies]

Awesome man! Wide bars are the jam. Nothing wrong with brakes 🤙

Seriously these never show ride footage. Loved the bid

[@maulanasubono5553]

this video makes me want to build another bike.

[@trashes_to_treasures]

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!

[@waveywheelies]

Cheers bro! Thanks for the tip! 🤙

[@JSON1C]

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

[@waveywheelies]

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 🤙

Yes you do! and thanks bro!

[@Cube_Ernator1077]

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!)

Yes go wide! And thanks, appreciate it bro

[@gabrieldonovan794]

Definitely a dream bike for me!

[@justinrooney9336]

Love my Steamroller should've done a Sugino bottom bracket to match the crankset!

[@uknowho6880]

Insanely gorgeous build!!

[@EricSajid]

the handlebars are huge

[@nitescuvalentin6872]

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.

[@waveywheelies]

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

[@Bandyrobs1]

Glad you added some foam to the top tube! 😱

[@mom_im_losing_it]

You inspired me to turn my old road bike into a fixed gear thank you!

[@waveywheelies]

That’s awesome to hear! How did it turn out?

[@graphics_dev5918]

Did you miss the tires at like 4:45?

[@devon08059]

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.

Nice build

[@leebridgwater]

Lovely looking.

[@sathiavani3424]

Bro such a awesome bike bro

[@drknmnn]

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!

[@waveywheelies]

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)

[@dariohazewinkel8213]

That’s a dope build

[@waveywheelies]

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]

You can always go second hand, I got these ones second hand

[@binarysun_]

@@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]

Binary Sun dam, didn’t realise how hard to find they are. Miche Pistards look like pretty solid cranks though, I would be pretty happy with those

[@binarysun_]

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

[@armintamzarian612]

So cool! Im thinking about getting a Surly Steamroller fork for my fixed bike, its valid for any kind of frame, right?

[@waveywheelies]

Yeah man will fit most frames as long as it’s 1 1/8” Threadless and not 1” or threaded

[@event4216]

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....

Thanks mate, another great build🙌🏻 do you think you could fit a brake on the front forks with the 700x38 tyres? Cheers
