Fixed Gear Dream Build - Engine 11 CritD x Deluxe Cycles

[@speed_wobbles632]

it’s a good day when Zach drops

[@DurisM]

3:41 that Euro Asia gold though…

[@joshmaddox7232]

Hell yeah. I recognize velo trap. Sac town representing!

[@Tomas.Giudici]

That moment when you finish building your bike and you realice that it will never be as clean as it is at that moment.

[@sonymicronin]

It should never be as clean and that’s a good thing. Good and expensive bikes deserve to be ridden. It would be a shame if it was just a wall piece

[@dennissantiago9525]

Those digital torque wrenches look amazing!! The tool's quality matches the components

[@sonymicronin]

Always worth spending a bit extra on high quality tools. It makes it less likely you will strip something and the tools will pay for themselves with how much less you have to spend at a bike shop for basic maintenance

[@newoldsteel]

You know me, I’m heavily bias towards steel but I will say engine 11 frames are SICK plus the Hydras with the dura ace hubs!

[@omer22941]

Velo trap FTW!!! Look him up next time you’re in Sacramento

[@jesseellis3126]

I like this style of video from you!. If you do this with these guys next time it would be nice to hear more banter and commentary between you and them! Idk if its just me that thinks this.

[@marvinsmall5002]

Great film... Nice bike. Just not the same without you in the film. 😀👍

[@hectorpinol7951]

ThAt sprocket is beautiful.

[@MrKaratedad]

Can't go wrong with velotrap..you guys rock!

[@ViewerGaunt]

Great visuals, music, and audio timings with your transitions!

[@skizzarz]

this was a therapeutic walk down memory lane, thank you zachy.

[@LVKNG]

ohhhh that's a nice one, we need more videos like this one already :p

[@doug2835]

Not only a beautiful bike but also a great video to watch. This young man's skill and patience is very meditative.

[@kristiandawe85]

That thing is incredible

[@ratoneJR]

5:32 That chain looks too short. How you gonna get the back wheel off when your tire needs maint.? Remove the complicated master link? 7:23 This is a better angle, but it still looks short to me.

[@aurels.682]

Definitely too short. Too much chain tension as well.

[@sonymicronin]

Trust me , using a chain breaker to take a chain off and put it back together takes less than a minute. Slamming the rear wheel and a short chain is not a big deal, just make sure you have good tension and it’s not too tight. Other wise it’s no big deal

[@SeanW0W]

The only shop I trust with my bike!

Where did homies pink hoody come from? Super rad! Great work man.

[@mrcoco3562]

Love ur vlog so much, i am a single father and my kid love fixie so much but i couldn't afford him a full set engine 11 but ended up i build a $200 tsunami snm100 for him.. But some part it old n rusty

[@skizzarz]

love the double tighten with the torque wrench, this dude's a real one... show that new material what's up.

[@doubled79446]

🤟🏼no brakes no pedals🤟🏼

[@roamingwolfpack]

Seriously cool build!

[@suhdud4646]

Dream build that only a Flintstone could love. Regardless, legit build. Maybe the HPlus SL42's would look better in matching the thick tubing. Looks like its on stilts.

[@gutierrezp49]

Dream drivetrain setup

[@markohina6029]

I love riding fixie I hope I can have like that

[@ardkf]

Does this bike have a similar geometry with Tsunami snm 100?

[@thomasarana4322]

Excellent video, great bike, saludos desde Argentina.

[@porkyparry1]

As Zak would say "A buttery build"

[@mortlow6688]

wow...very nice!

[@dlrs1530]

More videos with the homies pls

[@keithchang8566]

curious about the weight with full enve and hydras!

[@fortheprofit2186]

personally mine is the sprinter the 7005 alloy is stiff to really put down power.

[@sonymicronin]

But 6000 aluminum is more comfortable right

[@retrosoundstudio]

so clean!!

[@heygema]

whip lock should be that big

[@kellineburton]

Rotors are mighty fine but sadly it's quite a no brainer if you make it your daily driver, even though i am so tempted to get one

[@galenkehler]

6:50 you can skip to the final pictures

Whats the stuff he brushed on the cog?

[@neom0nk]

Literally the only thing I don't like about my Wabi is no drop out protector, my drop outs look like junk after a year. I like the drop out protectors Engine11 use.

[@jesseellis3126]

Same! mine are looking chewed after only a few months. That's another thing i admire about other frames! I see these steel dropouts and i think oooooh that must be nice! What model Wabi did you get?

[@neom0nk]

@@jesseellis3126 I have a lightning.

[@FGIRAFFE]

How do you remove the rear wheel without breaking thé chaîn every time?

[@sonymicronin]

You break the chain, only takes less than 30 seconds. Not a big deal

What’s the gearing on the bike ??

[@akumastealthily123]

[@thatoneannoyingpersoninthe9178]

Hello ive just bought myself a fixed gear but theres a problem when i try to skid my lockring goes loose and i watch some videos and my doesnt seem to go counter clockwise is this the problem?

[@sonymicronin]

It’s not a loose lock ring it’s just improper skid technique

[@krl1607]

Not my dream fixed gear bike in any way but a nice video!

[@reer3192]

I heard engine frames are just fancy Chinese repaints of the crew frames, it was an old debate but I’m wondering if that’s true because so many people are using it and seems to put it in high regards

[@theodoreguntoro]

What makes you believe it? Engine11 frames are made with either double-butted 6061, triple-butted 6069, or triple-butted 7005, while the Crew District has a different fork to all of them and comes in plain 6061. The Crew Ace and Defender don't match any of the Engine11 frames as well

[@reer3192]

@@theodoreguntoro yeah, the Reddit post was almost a decade ago so I knew it might have been somewhat different I was just expecting some of the things said to hold some kind of merit.

[@amsTECHandGAMING]

They’re gaining popularity off the track right now. Loving mine. Very responsive frame.

[@fehrcarlo2381]

Nice build! But you forgot at least a front brake...

[@nonduality1]

I basically have the same wheels but I’ve been wondering why don’t ppl go with something like zipp 404 on dream builds?

[@Fishfightdvsnm]

Hydra is known for stiffness and durability. They can fit up to 45 c for tyres and 32 h for spokes so in terms and prices and durability I will go for hydra and pair up with any high-end good hubs 🔥

[@robotjonjoe]

Also Hydras are cheaper and easier to buy.

[@kevingonzales8304]

Ooh I like her

[@housekarl5786]

....needs front brake 👍

[@marcusmartin5758]

What is the gear ratio?

[@aurels.682]

Why working with a torque wrench if tighten again after the click ? Makes no sense. The chain is also too short and has too much tension.

[@Jaysee2164]

Anyone know how this frame run, or engine 11s in general? I ride 51-52 normally

[@amsTECHandGAMING]

I ride a 55 and it’s kinda small, you should be good with a 52

I know fanboyz are gonna rip on me but I have NEVER found the grace in making these dream build videos. Boring when you already know how to do this. Most mechanics wish they had a robot arm doing all this shit lmao

9th brooooo

[@ohmslawyer3599]

Naaah … don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice bike BUT: - Glossy black frame and matte black cranks? - The frame geometry seems a bit »off« (tire clearance to the frame front vs. back, angle of seat tube and fork) … - only chrome finish are the hubs? - The stem looks ugly on this bike … It seems more than a spontaneous mixture of expensive parts to me … Cheers (love your vids btw.) …

[@gregvassilakos]

You forgot to put on the front brake.

[@marcusmartin5758]

Fixed gear doesnt need a brake

[@wolfmanradio]

@@marcusmartin5758 Until a car cuts right in front of you head-on when you’re at full speed. My front brake legit saved my life two years ago. Always run a front brake on the street.
