Building a cheap & awesome single speed bike (Fixie)

[@bennv]

I did another awesome build. This time i didn’t even use an angle grinder so i guess thats progress! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn7FZqtvapWIba8

[@nefariousstylo9943]

The styling choices make it very victorian, great bike on the cheap.

[@4rnorthwest]

Best part was watching him huff rattle bombs for a solid 5 minutes in 3x speed which means he was gettin loaded for AT LEAST 15 minutes on aerosol paints!😂👍🏽

[@stevec176]

I like that bell placement

[@25inspector]

Very nice classic ride.

[@dhavidamadeus8072]

Beautiful SS coaster brake bike! I have one with the same system. Do you feel like putting front brakes on it? Or does your city has a gentle traffic? I live in Rio, thing get wild. I'm seriously thinking about those front brakes. Not easy to find them tho

[@NickCornaglia]

Paint everywhere!!!!!!

[@kimwhilock8777]

pretty cool

[@ralfrufus6573]

Schön, vor allem der Farbkontrast zwischen Rahmen und Reifen gefällt mir sehr gut!

[@dreamingdust7667]

That s my kind of single speed.

[@houseofpills]

Cool bike hanger. Looks like how they used to hang bikes at the old Nottingham Raleigh factory!

[@Thomass7586]

After seeing him start painting everything including the bike frame. Over spray everywhere. I had to turn this video off. GEESE !

[@clay9333]

@Thomas Smith - He did say “cheap” in the title to be fair. I think that’s part of the fun/convenience of riding a fixie. It doesn’t have to be fancy or have a professional (expensive) paint job. If you have to rent a clean room and expensive paint equipment then what’s the point? If you want a fancy single gear bike right out of the box, Specialized will sell you a Sirrus single gear “flip flop” fixed cog for just under $700. Boring. But it has really nice paint...

[@countrysideb5]

Who cares. It's an awesome Fixie.

[@codyellington8238]

@@clay9333 I think the bigger issue is there is paint all over the shop now and it is super bad to spray paint in an enclosed area. At least put on a p95 paint mask.

[@clinxeo5702]

Love the build dude hope you have fun riding it.

[@bennv]

Thank you so much man! A friend of mine is riding it now and really likes it!

[@paullacey2999]

God that turned out lovely,didnt it...

[@mauriciogoddoi6976]

Parabéns pela bike. Ficou realmente muito bonita.

[@bennv]

Thank you so much!

Provavelmente irei fazer uma, caso eu dê continuidade ao projeto irei postar 1 video

Beste Benn Veninga, Allereerst wil ik je complimenteren met je prachtige fiets. Ik heb al maanden de droom om hetzelfde te doen, maar kom na uren research er nog steeds niet achter hoe je een freewheel eraf haalt en hoe je een fixed tandwiel moet terug zetten. Hoe heb jij dit gedaan, en hoe kom ik aan deze onderdelen en/of gereedschappen?

[@bennv]

Hi Laurens! Dankjewel. Super leuk om te horen! Je kunt een freewheel wel vervangen maar dan heb je wel handremmen nodig. Dat hoeft in deze situatie niet. Ik heb zelf de wielen vervangen. Dit zijn wielen met een remnaaf. Alle onderdelen en gereedschappen komen bij www.budgetfietsonderdelen.nl vandaan. Ik zou er gewoon aan beginnen. Ik heb ongeveer 100 euro uitgegeven aan deze fiets. Best een hoop geld maar het is wel erg leuk om te doen en je houd er wat leuks aan over! Groeten, Benn

[@adamh7947]

How did the coaster brake work out? Nice saddle.

[@drdreddmanofmystery9482]

I love the look of that bike!

[@damonthomas8955]

I thought it would be a fixed wheel, but a coaster brake! even better!

[@mrvk699]

Damon Thomas what is a coaster brake? Thanks.

[@damonthomas8955]

Vishal Kumar there's a brake in the rear hub that comes on when you pedal backwards.

[@mrvk699]

Damon Thomas oh that's a fixed type bike.

[@damonthomas8955]

Vishal Kumar no, fixed is a solid connection between rear sprocket and hub, no brake involved.

[@mrvk699]

Daamn you guys have such different types of bikes, in India we almost always have either a Single speed or multi gear bikes. These fixie bikes with rear hubs having brakes and fixed type of bikes is a very new concept for me at the least to speak.

[@texmar99]

Can I ask where you got all your parts? Thanks!

[@tomo.2126]

Hoi Benn, Heb je nog speciaal gereedschap nodig om het achterwiel met het tandwiel te monteren? Of überhaupt bijzonder gereedschap

[@kokojoko1679]

hey Benn, can i ask if you are selling that bike. that is the type of design i was looking for on a fixed gear bike.

[@maximilianmellin7550]

can you make a list with the components you used?

[@bike-how-to-fahrradwerksta9921]

Ist looks good but it would be much better If you hadn't painted the headset.

[@laurens9540]

Ik heb een Peugeot racefiets die ik wil ombouwen tot een fixie. Ook heb ik een wiel met een vast tandwiel aangeschaft, maar toen ik het wiel in de fiets plaatste liep de ketting over het tandwiel. Is het wel mogelijk om bij dit wiel de originele crank en ketting te gebruiken?

[@bennv]

Hee Laurens, Misschien even proberen met een nieuwe single speed ketting? Ik denk dat de crank wel te gebruiken moet zijn maar wellicht de ketting niet meer.

[@laurens9540]

@@bennv dus in afstand tussen de schakels van nieuwe singlespeed en delaileur kettingen zit geen verschil?

[@mom_im_losing_it]

Is that a coaster brake!!

[@bennv]

Yes! Here we have little to no hills do a coasterbrake works fine. Advantage to living in the Netherlands!

Hello, do have a list of the parts you used? They are looking very nice.

[@bennv]

Hi! I used mostly parts available on www.budgetfietsonderdelen.nl (wheels, steer, cranks, etc etc.) And these are the tires: onlinefietsonderdelenkopen.nl/product/grijze-transportfiets-buitenband-28x1-75-buiten-band/

[@ERuscalleda]

So cool man!

[@bennv]

Thank you so much!

[@henkjanbaan]

Beste Benn, Mooie projecten! Vraagje; ik zie je spuitbussen gebruiken, volgens mij zowel een soort grondlak als de uiteindelijke kleur. Waar haal je deze spuitbussen en is dit een duurzame/weerbestendige methode? Vriendelijke groet, Henk Jan

[@bennv]

Hallo Henk Jan, Dankjewel! De spuitbussen die ik gebruik zijn gewoon de goedkope van de action. De lak is aardig sterk maar om het helemaal goed te doen kun je het best primer, kleur, en nog een blanke laklaag aanbrengen. Dit kan helaas niet echt met een matte kleur. Maar met een glimmende kleur word dit mooier en sterker. Groeten, Benn

[@henkjanbaan]

Hartelijk dank voor de tip Benn! Ik ga voor glans!

[@irwinalbertzoon1345]

Hi Benn, echt vet hoe je dit gemaakt hebt. Geeft me motivatie. Welke frame en vork hoogte heb je gebruikt voor deze fiets? Groeten , Irwi

[@bennv]

Hallo Irwi, Dankjewel voor je leuke reactie!! De framehoogte is bij deze fiets 61 centimeter. Dit maakt hem geschikt voor mensen van 1,80 tot 1,90 ongeveer.

[@jelleotter]

omg i love it

[@bennv]

Thank you so much!

[@jelleotter]

Is there a chance you know from what bike that frame is ? its very minimalistic and i like it!!! i've never owned a fixie but i'd really like to try it and í'am thinking about building my own since new frames and a complete bike a very very very expensive and a may not even like riding it :) so i thought ill just start a little project and build my own. I'm a very handy 15 yr old i should be able to do this lol and my dad can help with this i can't do. The first stem that seems smart to me is find a donor bike to get a frame from, since i'm very picky i can't find any i like the shape of. but then this came by, the frame you used is very minimalistic and i like it a lot.

[@seeker119]

What's up with the saddle and The Handlebar

[@bennv]

wala lihowa i think they are doing just fine!

[@alemonje8461]

Just to be clear. This is a coaster, not a fixed gear. Cool video though! And yes buddy, you should wear a mask! Take care.

[@BeefcakeBrazos]

wat heeft je dat achterwiel gekost?

[@bennv]

Seppe Vanbelle 29,95! budgetfietsonderdelen.nl/product/achterwiel-zwart-28x1-58/

[@elexs8754]

nice bike, but dude, I hope there was at least a window open, still pretty bad, but you know, not optimally huffing at least.

[@bennv]

Elexs thank you! Behind the camera is an overhead door. So one of the 4 walls is open.

[@warnderdemik2574]

Mooi geworden! Is het mogelijk om de ketting te spannen?

[@bennv]

Dankjewel! Ja dit is inderdaad mogelijk. Als je een frame op zoekt met horizontale pads dan kun je het wiel gewoon naar voren en naar achter zetten. Het is dus wel belangrijk om hier op te letten wanneer je een project frame uitzoekt. Rond 0:31 kun je goed zien hoe de pads eruit moeten zien.

[@fredbissnette3104]

Why you gotta cut the shit off man just put parts on and ride who cares if them shits is on there

[@frankwang9202]

Usually how much of a can of spray paint and primer do you need for the whole frame and 2 rims ?

[@bennv]

I think one can of primer and 2 cans of paint should be enough. Just to be sure you could add another can of primer.

[@harmzondag9596]

He benn,mooi stukje werk,maar als ik een frame overspuit heb ik alles onder de spuitnevel,jij niet?

[@Reggy9]

Very nice work! I am impressed! How many hours did you put into this certain project? Greetings from Munich to the Netherlands!

[@bennv]

Hi! Thank you so much. Because i did this in multiple +/- 1 hour sessions its hard to say how much time it took. I guess is was between 4-8 hours.

What size tires are those?

[@bennv]

37-622 (28x1 5/8)

[@cancelik]

This hub has coaster brake, so it s not a fixie.

[@lr44x13]

Congrats on destroying your derailleur hanger. It was 100% needed to destroy it and to heat a frame so it isn't as durable as before IN THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE OF THE FRAME.

[@pepijnstevens1276]

Wat spoot je er eerst op?

[@bennv]

Hallo Pepijn, Na het schuren en schoonmaken eerst een primer. Gewoon de primer van de action, die werkt super! Groeten, Benn

So stupid 1. Disassemble the headset don't spray over the chrome that is so lazy and looks terrible 2. Mask of the bb threads as I'm sure you ruined them 3. Put up a bed sheet or something as I'm sure you oversprayed everywhere. 4. Wear a mask

[@aleksiporoshilow5539]

Well. I don't wanna be rude or something like that, but the way you painted the frame and the star of transmission is not "awesome", as you say. In my opinion, it is violation of painting technology. In addition, the vintage seat looks a little bit strange here, but it is just my opinion, nothing more. Best wishes!

[@user-esprit1086]

It's not a fixed gear it a coaster brake wheelset

[@alsternerd]

It's a single speed, but not a fixie. The wheel can still turn freely.

[@bennv]

Thats why the title and thumbnail say single speed.

[@mahussain9764]

video recorded as if he is just timepassing not to teach anybody, freely collect views from youtube.

[@bennv]

Hi man! It’s really weird but where i come from “Building a single speed” doesnt mean “how to build a single speed”. But i’m sure it does where you come from because otherwise it would be a bit of a dumb comment. And i don’t know if you are familiair with youtube but literely everyone is collecting free views. Thats kind of a thing on youtube.

[@brave7033]

Wtf are you doing with the frame all those sparkles and stuff lool the bike looks nice but you don't explain nothing

[@bennv]

Hi man! Thank you for your reply. This is one of my older video's. I didnt feel comfortable talking on camera at that point. I started to talk and explain now but its all in dutch so you probably wont understand it lol. I took the cable hooks and the thing where you mount the derailleur off. Thats the sparkling stuff. Maybe i will do a better video in the future in english or with subtitles. Thanks for watching!

[@brave7033]

ok i get it thx for thr reply ! keep it up !

[@forsythia1968]

Never use an angle grinder on a frame...

[@bennv]

I even use an angle grinder to clean chains or seats etc. Works perfect!

[@donggie69]

That is not a fixie. It uses a coaster brake.
