DREAM BUILD - Yeti SB130

Erik builds a custom Yeti SB130 for a customer. Suspension modifications included a change in travel to the fork and swapping the stock Fox shock out for a Push 11.6. The big Shimano Saint brakes are going to help with slowing this machine down and the XTR bits will handle all the shifting duties. We love delivering bikes that are built to be ridden hard. Hope you enjoy watching!

Robert Pirsig of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" fame once found a warning in a set of instructions that said: “Assembly of Japanese bicycle require great peace of mind.” I believe Mr. Pirsig would approve of this fine video. Thanks for sharing.

i watch this from start to finish lol because i also have this bike, but i dont have the 11 6 shock, but probably will soon but will also get a Marzocchi coil fork as well to match. i'm not feeling the air suspension at the moment unless i'm going through really bumpy stuff. This is probably also my dream build sb130 but not sure about the carbon santa cruz wheels. I cheaped out a bit and went with the xt group set. wish i had the saint brakes tho

Great to watch and great work but why didn't the customer specify frame protection, the little things can make a huge difference when spending this amount of money.

[@massimofederici9207]

a real dream bike.

[@p__jay]

You took the fork apart just to apply some more grease...?!

[@alecblair4699]

Probably installed a new air spring to lower the travel of the fork, He was greasing the new air piston, not the one that came out.

[@felipefarias7654]

Fox Forks come with too much grease on the air piston, so he took some off the piston and apply it to the lower seal. Thus the performance improves.

[@summitbicycles]

@@alecblair4699 exactly

[@davidmccullough2930]

My fox36 came with enough grease to service them about half dozen times. The air spring was stuck up in the stansion could not pull it down had to remove top cap and retaining ring wrap a rag round it came off with a loud pop..

[@mastercommanderdragonsir679]

Just curios but how come you took apart the forks and added more grease? Weren’t they brand new to begin with?

[@maxgeronov6608]

This is my dream bike

[@summitbicycles]

Thanks for watching! It's a worthy bike to dream about

[@bobsaget3841]

Nice bike, but what’s with never using a torque wrench? I get using feel but at a professional shop a torque wrench should be used. The cranks need to be torqued to spec, the center lock locking ring, the cassette can be by feel cause you just hammer that down, but also the lock nuts on the lowers did not get torqued which is bad cause the 10mm nut is like 5-6nm and the 15mm is like 16.9nm that’s a huge difference. The shock linkage bolts also weren’t torqued which is important, the smaller inside bolt has a lower torque than the main bigger bolt. There was no grease on the spindle and it looked like just the factory grease where the drive side crank attaches which honestly isn’t enough, no grease on the thru axles either. Just a little touch that can prevent rust or seizing, I’ve seen it so many times and on a bike like this it’s a nice touch. For shifting you didn’t demonstrate the b-gap adjustment shimano has on their 12sp r ders which is a really cool feature. Hopefully it was adjusted off camera but b-gap is essential for all 12sp to run as best as possible. There was a lot of grinding when going into the low gear which makes me think that the b-gap needs to be set. It’s not set on a new der cause it’s supposed to be set at sag when the rider is on the bike, but you can set shimanos without the rider just by using the indicator on the back of the derailleur cage near the upper pulley wheel. When installing shimano brakes just doing a lever bleed where you attach the bleed cup with fresh mineral oil and then pump the lever will make the brakes feel even better. Air always gets in and you lose fluid whenever you cut the hoses and putting the bleed cup on the lever and pulling the lever when the wheels are on will firm them up and get rid of the residual air bubbles. Also carbon paste on the seat post is helpful especially if the rider is tall and heavy. The taping job at the end was rough, that’s a lot of air trapped under there. I know it’s probably ok but just pulling the tape tighter would have smoothed it out. I know I sound pretentious but I work on high end bikes like this daily and these little touches go a long way in showing the customers attention to detail and that extra level of care a 10k warrants. The main this is the lack of a torque wrench, not using one on the linkage bolts would concern me. I always go and double check the torques on the linkage bolts on new full sus bikes because some brands (trek, and cannondale…) like to under torque their bolts from the factory. Again just minor details, except for the torque wrench. And the shimano lever bleed, I’m sure you guys know what it is just give it a shot on new brakes, it can make a world of difference.

[@LostInDistance]

This was so satisfying to watch..

[@kaiw8456]

i love all these dream build videos but can we do one with 80s workout music instead of world pan flute music?

Maybe the mechanic could wear some appropriate gear, spandex longs and some matching flouro leg warmers so we can really get in the mood. hahahaaa

[@scottlstone]

Are they new Fox 36? I’m curious as to why you did a lower leg service if it’s a new fork? Did you swap out the internals? Fit to Grip?

It was a travel change on the fork not an internals swap

Great video. Whats the purpose of tearing down and rebuilding a new fork?

[@summitbicycles]

In the description we detailed that one thing we did was change the amount of travel in the fork. That requires a rebuild while we swap out the air spring in the left leg.

so its fine not to put some grease on the axles? thanks for this clip though..

[@nicknz100]

Sweet build, shouldn't there be some grease applied before putting the seat post back into the frame?

[@elduderinoakahisdudeness]

Why do the forks have to be assembled? In all these videos they are torn down, do forks just not come plug and play?

[@summitbicycles]

Forks are plug and play minus trimming the steerer tube. In this case the customer wanted us to change the amount of travel in the fork which requires a tear down to replace the air spring in the left leg

[@josemartin1623]

Son muy especiales y unos profesionales son como dirijamos José de galalagara jalisco

[@MrGrayFox0]

Which tubeless rim tape did you use for this project?- Because the setup looks much easier then with my DT Swiss tape.

[@alastairblack9920]

Nice build. just one question, why the coil and increase in fork travel on an sb130? Why not go to a different model? I could just be missing something here though?

[@summitbicycles]

He bought the frame and the travel is the same as on the standard lunch ride spec. It was a fork we already had in stock so we converted it for him as it was only a difference of 10mm. Just a new air shaft. The coil makes the bike ride different than an air shock and it’s truly something you have to experience to understand. Especially when it’s something as refined as the Push 11.6 shock

[@alastairblack9920]

@@summitbicycles that's great, I always thought coils were more reserved for longer travel bikes with more aggressive riding. But I suppose if it put's a smile on your face who can be the judge of that. Keep up the good work.

[@jelly1239999bean]

How many pounds after fully built?

[@michiganstate149]

What cranks? I see XTR but didn't know Shimano had a preload ring on the spindle like that, and I don't see any pinch bolts to keep the arm on.

There are no pinch bolts to keep the arm on. The main bolt and preload ring do that.

[@alan181090]

Wasn't service, he change the spring

[@sonnduro]

adding more travel to the fork, its a stock sb130, judging by the decal on the rear shock, since they wear upgrading it with the push industries 11 6 coil shock, there was no need to get in the Lunch ride edition but the lunch ride does come stock with a 160mm fork maybe not in orange

[@minysmith9043]

Spring, maybe different weight oil

[@paradox963]

Yeah it was a travel change with a new air spring. Working in a shop and doing a lot of builds, on some if these videos there order of operations confuses me. Personally I'd have done the air spring first, but the most confusing thing is why they don't dry fit the fork without any grease to measure the steerer tube, then cut and file it, then grease it and install cause after you cut and file it you need to clean all that grease off anyway as it will have metal filings in it.
