Hi, how large is the tyre clearance on this new frame.

[@benjaminhunt283]

Cool video. I'm hoping to get a Merida Silex as my winter bike on the road and a possible panier trip to France. Haven't heard anything bad about it. Most the advice has been that it's a similar geometry to an endurance bike and best bang for buck at £1500, especially with the 2 by chainring. You're a Merida expert Dani, can you offer any additional insight? Love your channel by the way, been watching you years ever since my re-entry into cycling.

@@sonsofmatriarchy5552 Thankyou for that.

[@jameswoods4656]

I went another direction and bought a really good condition Reynolds 531 frame and added a modern drivetrain but kept the spirit of an eighties classic. It is an absolute beauty

[@Chiby2510]

Congrats on your new build. I have almost fall asleep due to this video relaxation. The build is fantastic and the music hypnotize to make people sleep.

[@hakdocarmwrestlingmd]

I was searching for a fully mech fully internal cabling build. This will do. This just shows I can assemble my own bike at home. Hehe

[@jaysondocot1870]

watching some video on how to build a bicycle is so relaxing... 😔😔😔

[@RazorBlade86]

13:50 most relaxing moment. ;)

[@francodellamura7471]

This video was relaxing to watch, but the poor mechanic and issue with front folk! Ouch!! Nice build, well done.

[@davidjones5575]

Interesting video extremely informative, keep up good work

[@chrisherb3300]

I love seeing Dream Builds with classic/relaxing music, the cut in it because of all the cable salad (what an effort with everything internal, guess everyone would curse it!) was a bit interrupting but funny though. 😑😄😊😑 Next time ride it though ☺️

[@dreamsfusionweddings]

There is no talking in relaxing dream built 😁

[@marcushamilton3760]

If you don't swear a few times, you're not doing it right!

[@rcjic26]

Thank you very much. Nicely done. I will be buying a Merida Scultura Endurance 5000 this summer or fall. This video was spot on and I won't be removing or installing the headset cabling. I will always leave that to a professional.

[@the_m2893]

Calm and Relaxation until 13:50 :-D

Therapeutic!

[@croccofanto]

i love dream builds, the only thing i don't like about them is... THY NEVER RIDE THEM ATT THE END! >: X Been using you're channel a guide fore different stuff. Work as a mechanic myself in a sporting goods store.

[@skitragic278]

That was impressive, in fact your review of this bike in another vid made my choice easier. Ski off season fitness endurance machine, I get bored running or doing any stationary cardio time.

[@SoilworkZA01]

I'm interested to hear about the two layers of grip tape. The the white layer a special under layer or just regular grip tape? The sizing of the Meridas is also a bit strange. The size S matches a size M Giant Defy almost exactly. Anyway, I should be taking delivery of a Scultura Endurance this week with Fulcrum 40mm carbon wheels as an upgrade 😍

[@disafear3674]

Yeah same, what is the point of that white tape underneath?

[@user-wk3pm8hq2u]

That was amazing, thank you!

[@cliveweir]

Nice video Danny, good to see you improvising with some tools

[@chagaswim19]

Very good! Fantastic!💪👏👏👏

[@nicolasbozzo2364]

I started watching your yourube channel when you said shimano deore or even alivio was ok. Also you recomended not having internal cable routing. Now you are building hugely expensive bikes and promoting internal cable routing as a nice to have. Your videos are still nice, awesome build. But i fill like you are mising what made you unique

[@jamesmcintyre4287]

Nice video with relaxing music 👍👍

[@guycohen4403]

In 17:25 in the first section of the wrapping you were doing it in the wrong direction. You were wrapping it Counterclockwise and while riding the rider applies force clockwise on the right bottom side of the handlebar (the section you were wrapping), this all because of the shape of our hand. So because the rider applies force that is In the opposite direction of the wrapping direction it will loosen the wrap and eventually fail. I recommend to you watch park tool channel explain how to wrap handlebar tape correctly. Nevermind, i only saw the white tape part

[@ariffau]

my dream bike (for now)!

[@anzheyveter]

incredible and almost relaxed (except the fork installation issue)))

que calidad de grabacion! IMPRESIONANTE

[@dakzer55]

don't think you applied any grease when pressing in the bottom bracket . And double bar tape will add 100grams. Other than that great build 👌👍🙌

[@RicoLee830104]

The video is very therapeutic to watch. Nice new bike! P.S. I guess the rear deraileaur housing can be shortened a little bit to follow the natural curvature

[@mihai_dumitrescu]

Nice bike, ride safe!

[@olive4naito]

First time seeing a "Build a bike with me" video. I mostly find "Study with me" videos on KZbin.

[@pakoyteardrop]

Great video! Can i ask what's the type of BB for this frame sir?

[@marcuselroy]

Hello! Do you have a similar video of you explaining each step and the reasoning behind certain decisions you take?

[@shALKE]

Awesome build. I am wondering why not integrated bar & stem to totally hide the wires ?

[@wysokit87]

Is the front derailleur touching the cable housing behind when on small chainring? I noticed mine does, which stops the cage to fully retract and is causing some chained rubbing. Not sure how to fix it.

[@supercyclisttv1734]

Wow nice bike

[@Ozem_Israel]

Sounding like mass effect when they looking for something on a planet.

[@ldvcbi4317]

Hello, how much torque you use on the expander of steerer tube? Best regards.

[@111bonus]

What a mess that internal cable routing is, particularly around the headset. Looks pretty though.

[@othon.manousakis]

Wow!

[@patrickparisienne1917]

Great build mate, but why the gloves throughout?

[@HJ-bd2rr]

Hi on the minute 10.32, does it have cable stop inside? I can see you were running both inner and outer but the only one came out is the outer. How could that be achieved?

[@danflanagan9536]

how's the compliance on this bike? any good for off-road?

[@braayan03]

Is that frame orange or red? Because it changes its shade multiple times in this video.

[@ivandominguez7249]

Hello, do you think it's possible install a FSA Vision ACR for fully integrated cables? Thanks

[@bjornporsche5310]

Nice

[@jcsrst]

I don't know how you didn't lose your sh*t routing all the cables through the head set!! Like that rear skewer, is that end cap magnetic? Nice build!

[@kahoycrafts]

Did you build it all in a single day or over multiple days?

[@joshgracin59]

Are resistance band weights accurate?

[@Miersemann]

The bar tape was wrapped the wrong way around. Sorry a only saw the white tape. The Black tape went the right way.

What's the saddle multitool kit?

[@gbye007]

Why did you have to build it? Don't they come prebuilt from the factory in the box?

It's Dani's choice I believe.

[@ruib991]

@SickBiker does the Ultegra crank R8000 easily breaks, i saw it in another youtube pages, is it true?

[@chrispalmer3096]

I've got 6800 on my old bike and R8000 on my newer bike and after tens of thousands of miles on one, and a few thousands on the other, my cranks are still perfect.

[@robo080888]

It looks like a painful build with all those internal cable routing.

[@ancogbernard]

what is the size of the headset bering?

When you have this bike and you are 10KG overweight XD

what's the total weight?

[@gergoolle5773]

Im not an expert but in case of press fit BB and carbon frame it is recommended to use primer and some stuff on the shell before inserting it. Am I right?

[@cyclingmilan]

He uses a pressfit with plastic cups which can deform a bit to the shape of the hole t fit nicely without retaining compound. in theory at least, if that is better for the bearings etc is an other question. unlike hambini BB's where the shell is super still, so if the hole is a little off you want to use those products.

[@ЙцукенСын]

Why the tubes?

[@MsBibosen]

The overall bike is very beautiful though! Well done!

[@styxxtheanimal5720]

@@MsBibosen Cause tubeless are a pain in the arse when you get a puncture miles out of nowhere !!!

[@samuelkmaina]

I'd have loved to see you centre the brake discs. I hate rubbing brake discs and this seems to plague me especially when I change wheels on my gravel bike from thinner road to wider gravel wheels. I'd imagine there's a way of setting them.just right so whichever wheelset is in use they won't run and don't need adjusting.

[@jasonwu2758]

I've tried two techniques. 1st spin tyre foward with brake bolts loose enough to be able to move then hold onto brake, then tighten. Still rubbed front and only a little on back. 2nd time I went by eye. Have a nice lit workplace so you can see straight down brake pads and disk. Tighten one end holding centered then the other end. All running without rubbing now. Good luck!

[@sashqa0]

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

[@Greedos2kk]

tape for handlebar very bad
