Building a SRAM Rival eTap AXS Bike: Ribble Cycles Gravel SL - Part One

[@iconolater]

Good to see a build video that focuses on the mechanic.

Gr8 video

Which cassette tool is that? The one that fits on your torque wrench? I have a 3/8" torque wrench...

[@pauljozefak7540]

JOM, I didn't see that he put any foam on the internal cabling? Not worried about cable rattle within the frame? Or does Ribble solve some other way for that issue that I am missing?

[@GravelCyclist]

Paul, we chatted about that pre-build, no foam installed but thus far, no rattling cables. Might have gotten lucky!

[@kevinvanhoy8259]

All the tech tools, seems like they’d have electric pipe cutter like plumbing as opposed to live hack saw 🤷‍♂️

[@GravelCyclist]

I don't see an electric pipe cutter playing nicely with a Park Tool steerer tube cutting guide. Hacksaw is the way to cut, IMHO.

[@robchiappe9253]

@@High_Octane What did he cut that was carbon? The steer tube is alloy isn't it?

[@GravelCyclist]

@@High_Octane Please post your bike build video to show everyone how it's done properly.

Best Build video I've seen. He explains each step very clearly ...Excellent 👍

[@GravelCyclist]

Pete will appreciate your comment. He is my go to mechanic for any bike build projects.

What have you wrapped the chain stay in? Looks great and is clearly functional

ESI Silicone Tape (Chainstay Wrap) - Here's the link to the product on Amazon - amzn.to/2Z08EXP

[@timwhite2365]

How’d he finish off the chainstay protector?

[@petergacek3245]

It's a self-adhering silicone tape made by ESI. I wrap like bar tape, taper the start/finish.

What is the colour scheme of the Frameset sir? I assume it is custom colour?

[@yorickvalk6502]

It's stock, satin copper

What brand or model is that apron?

[@petergacek3245]

Custom made by Donut Sack Bike Bags in Columbus, OH.

[@martinkroutil]

Yes. It look awesome I need to get something like that. For mechanic it will be a work game changer. Thanks for a good idea.
