I'm not a road cyclist, I'm just a commuter with an hybrid bike so this knowledge i guess I'll never use it, but man i love how you explain everything, and take the time to actually show with the camera what you are doing

[@dtongo]

One of the best instructional video I have seen on setting up a new bike. Very clear instructions and video images. Thank you. A joy to watch.

[@mitchlabrador]

Thank you for this tutorial, Oz. I love the way you explain things, matter of fact and to the point. I love how you call out the little gotchas that obviously come from a wealth of experience. I've never put a bike together, but your tutorials make me want to try it.

[@jimmyc645]

Always love your work and the technical precision in describing the parts. Hope you're enjoying the fruits of your labour by now.

[@tnxuan]

Ive only seen a hand full of your videos yet have become one of your biggest fans. Please post more.

[@24haikus]

I've been watching your videos for a year now and I love them. I never told you so here you go. BTW, I made the teflon wax lube and went through the three stage cleaning process on mine and my two children's bikes before heading out on our summer bike camping trip. It was so nice to no longer have black chainring marks on our calves and clean hands when putting chains back on after loosing them occasionally ( the various bike camping bags pressed on a number of cables thus making some of our controls less than perfect ). So anyways thank you for your work! And we'll see maybe our chains will last 15K kms!

[@PatrickLino]

Thanks oz for the upload. I just finished building my own Yoeleo bike using a lot of the tips you suggested. I even posted a video of the build on my channel.

[@ResmeN]

OK so the last bit was delightfully bonkers, but this was an excellent vlog. I learned SO MUCH! Thank you 🙏 I’ll watch part 2 with interest,

[@vladimirzavyalov]

Hi, Oz! Thank you for another thorough "real life" tutorial, always a pleasure to hear your advice and see you doing a job right as an example! There's a point here which you might cover in one of your next videos. Tightening hose nuts at the calipers might feel quite confusing without lots of experience. Shimano suggests 5-7Nm torque on these nuts, but you cannot use a usual torque wrench here - just a spanner! When you reach the resistance of the olive forming a seal, it feels tricky where to stop tightening. Too loose may cause leakage, and too tight - damage caliper thread. Your experienced advice on catching the moment to stop tightening would be nice!

[@stevenleffanue]

When tightening the nut feels quite firm another complete turn will be fine.

You made that look so easy. i can tell you no bike shop will ever build a bike like this they will cut corners and rush the process because it is not there bike, i want to build my own bike because i know it will be done properly i will use your video as a guide thank you very much.

[@wasupwitdat1mofiki94]

I'm happy to see that you have the guts to own Chinese branded equipment. Some people like GC Performance on KZbin trash everything from China. I've purchased 3 bikes and wheels from China and have never been disappointed. A lot of cyclists will say they want to see more people cycling but they are drinking the cool-aide and spewing trash talk about buying from China. Most people here in the US think paying more than $2000 for a bike even today is just way to much. I tend to agree. I would like to see more of the better known bike manufacturers offer bikes with say a SENSAH groupset and some Chinese wheelsets that are better priced than those that companies like Hunt are offing. People are only going to create more competition in the market if they start buying lower priced gear. It's good to see you are onboard with that.

[@zurjon23]

I love watching your videos, very informative. I've been waiting for the next part of this series. Can't wait to see the final build.

[@MrJob91]

brilliant series. Hope it gets allot of young riders on the roads

[@TheCharnwoodCyclist]

Brilliant video. If I might add one thing, I like to add some foam tubing to the top tube to protect it against bar strike when the bars can spin so easily before everything is built up. A bare alloy bar will chip paint or worse delaminate a carbon tube if the impact is hard enough.

[@cyclingmilan]

Hooo awesome! Just in time! I'm gonna swing by the local post office to FINALLY pick up my handlebars, so I can finally start my build. But first I'm gonna watch the video now :)

The bike is actually completed , riden and its awsome (dont tell the viewers 😂) You will like yours when done.

[@roneysilveira7606]

Milan: Hope you can finish soon your PERFECT WHITE R12 frame 👍

[@Aubreykun]

One of the best videos on bike assembly I have seen. I can't recall ever seeing guidelines on how short to to clip the housing, even Park glosses over that part from my memory. Do you think you could eventually do a video explaining your preferred methods for the different external cable routings, if you have access to example frames or can do some diagrams? I know of over BB, under BB, and along the top tube for shifters. And how to tell which the frame is built for, and which you prefer if the stops and so on are minimal or reliant on clips.

[@stevenleffanue]

So many different routings. Methods are basically the same

[@Aubreykun]

@@stevenleffanue True, but as I found out - getting things wrong can cause pretty bad shifting and braking issues!

[@tomkunich9401]

It is also good practice to grease the lever clamps. Those integrated carbon bar are softer than the steel lever clamps and trying to push the lever around a tight bend in the bar can cause the steel clamp to shave material off of the bar. Because these bars are not perfectly round the grease doesn't allow the bar to slip.

[@stevenleffanue]

Preferably a temporary lube like soap and water. I often use isopropyl alcohol

[@tonycrabtree3416]

I have both the new Ultegra and 105... Shimano really brought their A game with this latest update.

[@jshepard5840]

The issue now though is that Yoeleo, while making a very nice bike, has raised their prices so much that they're no longer a "budget" option. Once they got the word out and got the UCI approval, their prices went way up, which is to be expected. But now you can choose much more budget friendly options on bikes that are built to the same quality for 1/4th the price. Velobuild, Hongfu, Dengfu, all basically the same bikes as Yoeleo for much, much less. And my Superteam carbon wheels that I paid $225 for are still rolling perfectly true more than 10,000 miles later and look fantastic. I know you were one of the first people to introduce us to Yoeleo years ago and what a great budget option they were, but that's just not the case anymore.

[@MrFornicater]

Would be great to see you build a Campagnolo 10 or 11speed equipped bike.

[@andrusha1337]

Thank you for this video! I wonder, how you deal with rear derailleur cable shorting when turn the handle bar? Isn't it affects the derailleur position (and hence chain) when riding ?

[@andrusha1337]

You mentioned about this effect at 14:48

[@stevenleffanue]

The cable should have some slack in the frame which accommodates for this effect

[@andrusha1337]

@@stevenleffanue thank you, got it This pariticular Yoeleo frameset has cable-size holes on the bottom bracket area, so that the cable housing goes from the levers to the derailleurs as one piece, right? My Wilier Cento10 PRO unfortunately do not (there are 2 little wholes just for cables itself in the bottom bracket area), so in my case I have to make the cables+cover slack inside downtube, am I right?

Yes , the complete cables go all the way through bb area.

how much does this frame set cost? is it 2020? how is that possible to buy a product like this and the manufacturer shit on the proper facing of the flat mount.

[@filiphusek]

2:57 & 3:14 - I suspect two backside tabs could have been unfolded to release the parts without cutting the plastic off.

[@ecor1987]

Hi Oz, great instruction. So whats your take on using retaining compound and primer to press in the BB? Is it better to go with grease? CheerS

[@stevenleffanue]

If the bottom bracket shell is well made just a smidge of grease to ease it into place. Retaining compound for ill-fitting bottom brackets.

[@CocoboloCowboy]

Would like a good recommendation on Road Frame from an old ride, not a racer, a recreational rider. something that would not beat me up on long rides. Please list Brand, and source for a reputable dealer. Love your videos, have got so many great tips, and ideas.

[@LordVilmore]

Just look for an endurance frame, these are designed for just that. Almost every brand will offer that, also run wider tires, they will add comfort.

Hey Oz Cycle - The unboxing vid said the the R12 has a BB386 BB - this video you're using BB86 BB - is that the same? Can you link your BB as I need to get on for a BB386 frame with Ultegra crank. Cheers.

[@youtubesafename123]

How often do you change gear cables? This seems like it'll be a PITA everytime you have to do it. And when you do it, do you also change the housing? Also not talking about this bike only, the same would happen with an emonda 2021, or any bike with fully integrated/hidden cables...

[@stevenleffanue]

Only inner wire change , outers should last a very long time

Great video Oz. Lots of info and inspiration as usual. I'm building my own bike for the first time and hit a snag. My shift cable keeps popping out of the shifter when I down shift. What am I doing wrong? I'm making sure it is tucked tightly into the recessed mechanism of the shifter.

[@stevenleffanue]

Inner or outer?

[@locsmiths]

@@stevenleffanue the inner. The actual wire. The ball end is popping right out of the actual shifter mechanism halfway through the down shifts while testing it. Up shifts work fine. Just coming back down is the issue. Thanks for the reply!!!

Pull out inner , wire could be fraying near the head

Like your videos. Very easy to follow. I have one question. Did you use the right gear cable end caps on the lever end. The ones on mine have a short barb and a locating lug on them.

[@stevenleffanue]

The barb is a short piece of ptfe plastic pipe?....thats for rear derailleur

[@stavgold7440]

@@stevenleffanue Mine came with 2 end caps with short barb for levers and one longer barb end cap for derailuer. I’ve just checked Shimano manual and it does show end caps with barbs for shifters. Probably has little effect on function though

Question for you Why did you put the older type Shimano Teflon coated cables on your bike, Being a master bike mechanic myself I would never put or recommend these cables. After a couple of months of use the teflon separates from the cable and bungel up inside the housing thuss makes for very poor shifting . That is why Shimano quit making and selling them.

[@stevenleffanue]

Not had a problem in the past myself with them Thomas

[@cyrusalthor8583]

Excellent stuff!

[@Tchairdjian]

I think it would be safer to put on the end cap and the olive onto the hose before your hammer in the insert as sometimes the insert will expand the hose and you won’t be able to slide the olive over it.

[@crossvet]

Thanks, in case I move onto hydraulic brakes. The aqua grease and brake anti squeal were useful. Is the latter much better then copper grease? The CPC one is expensive compared with others, would Mintex work as well ?

The cable is internally routed, so the front derailleur should have the outer cable stopper. If it doesn't, you will have to buy a front derailleur with an outer cable stopper.
