Giant TCR advanced SL Rabobank road bike build 👨🏻‍🔧

[@familyman2843]

No BS, no droning music, no drama build. I like it.

[@bikeworksbywes]

Thank you 🙏

[@dickieblench5001]

Those were the days. No disc brake BS. No tubeless BS just the simplicity of rim brakes and DRY talc tubes. Brilliant

[@bikeworksbywes]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching 😁👨🏻‍🔧

[@brandoncavnar9179]

Love those Rabobank ISP frames. That FD was the best cable actuated ever made. Nice build man!

[@bikeworksbywes]

I agree, those frames were beautiful thanks for watching.

[@Michael-fi6ve]

This guy is a pro, it’s rare to see such a high quality mechanic on KZbin

[@bikeworksbywes]

🥲 Thank you 🙌🙌

[@BryanSutherland-w7e]

Elegant simplicity. A top level bike that can be built and serviced by an average consumer with simple tools. Electronic shifting and disc brakes have their place in the industry but many of us would be better served by mechanical shifting and rim brakes.

[@bikeworksbywes]

I agree, simplicity is key!

[@Sills71]

Rim brakes for the win!

[@bikeworksbywes]

🙌

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

Rim brakes are still excellent,fit and forget.💯🚴‍♂️✌🏻

[@chefnigeltv8580]

Wow. Best bike build ever on KZbin. No faf , amazing audio, straight yo the point, and edited very well with no drag. Fantastic job!!!

[@bikeworksbywes]

Thank you for the amazing feedback 😁🙏

Shimano rim brakes power are enough for many years coming again!! The power of choice must be in our hands and not market-imposed. Nice vid 👌

[@bikeworksbywes]

Well said! Thank you

Such an enjoyment to watch, rim brakes and mechanic groupset. This is the road bike used to be, just a simple mechanic speed machine.

[@bikeworksbywes]

🙌🙌

[@robertxrz2486]

Great video, Rim Brakes forever!

[@bikeworksbywes]

No doubt!

[@purpletrance9874]

Love TCRs, especially the team bikes. First video I've watched on this channel (about to Subscribe) and the level of precision of the build, videography and sounds made this one of the most enjoyable bike build videos ever! Not seen bar tape started right on the edge of the bar end before, always overlap for tucking in with the plug. Much prefer the method shown here, and the superlong tapered cut at the top end of the bars. Seems we never stop learning! 👍👌😎

[@bikeworksbywes]

Thank you for watching I’m glad you liked the video. Hopefully I’ll have more soon, cheers!

[@meliodashadeyoshi2115]

Got the same bike brother!! Definitely love rim breaks and the feel of the bike!!

Great video! Quite nice seeing all the components being installed with a good view and comfortable pace. Appricate it!

[@bikeworksbywes]

Thank you 🙌

[@Sebastiaan_Shrimp]

@@bikeworksbywes No problem! We are traveling through Europe with our bikes in the car. It would be great if you could maybe cover some basic or even advanced maintenance that can occur during long travels? For instance our shifting seems off after last picking out the rear tires. Would be great to learn how to "reset" indexing and low high limits. Maybe an idea! Nonetheless thanks for this video 👍🏼

[@bikeworksbywes]

I will keep this in mind thank you for the suggestion 😁

This is a classic GIANT TCR Rabobank version. Rabobank has been renamed to Visma lease a bike. And Visma won't using GIANT. They are using Cervelo.

[@bikeworksbywes]

Correct ☑️

[@frankdondorf9284]

Which brand is the little red torque wrench you.re using in the video ?

[@bikeworksbywes]

The torque wrench I am using is from Effetto Mariposa. I believe the model torque wrench is the Giustaforza 1-15nm.

I’ve been using baby powder for years and have never had a problem like that.

[@falconbike_onfire]

Atrasados? o será que tienen dedos de frente y no se dejan convencer por ideas para vender más de los fabricantes. Yo mismo, después de tener 2 “modernas” bicis con freno de disco, me he vuelto a estos frenos. Tengo ahora una S-Works SL6 que pesa 6.8 kg, equipada con ruedas y componentes top que les da mil vueltas a las modernas que nos venden ahora de casi 8kg y 6000 dolares. Y no he echado de menos los frenos de disco. Estos frenos son incluso mas fáciles de controlar con frenadas de emergencia

Tubeless bro...maybe some deep carbon wheels

[@bikeworksbywes]

I agree with tubeless, however I couldn’t find any good deals on the fulcrum zero tubeless wheels. I chose not to go carbon because I wanted a robust low maintenance wheel-set.

After countless handlebar tape wrapping sessions, I've only just now realised I CAN ANGLE CUT THE TAPE AT THE START to not have to faff around with the bar end plugs … Feel like such a twat now :p
