Halfords Apollo Bicycle (20 minute DIY build)

This video documents how a Halfords Apollo bicycle can be easily built in 20 minutes with minimal tools. I am not trained to build bicycles and take no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by anyone attempting this procedure. If you are unsure, it's best to let the professionals do the work. Thanks very much for watching.

Thanks for the video pal really big help especially with adjusting the breaks, I had a brain wobble assembling my daughters bike 😂

Great video and much appreciated. I bought one of these last night. All has gone well apart from the front brakes. When I attached them back after installing the front wheel they seem to be very tight and not releasing fully when the brake is not being used

[@bumbleshufflesdiy5908]

Thanks very much for the positive feedback. I think you can adjust the front brakes via a nut just above the pads (I.e. loosen nut and allow more wire to slide through so the brakes are open a bit more). Hope you get sorted.

How come your handle bars slipped straight in mine won't

[@bumbleshufflesdiy5908]

Try loosening up the handlebar screw to make a little more room. Maybe on urs it's already tightened up a little too much.

Do you have to use grease for this or is it not needed

[@bumbleshufflesdiy5908]

Hi, I'm not sure if I was supposed to or not but I did not use any grease during this build and I am still using the bicycle regularly for 25k + cycles with no issues.

@bumbleshufflesdiy5908 ight thanks lad sounds fine just saw a halfords building guide and it used it just didnt know if i needed it or not

[@bumbleshufflesdiy5908]

Jeepers maybe it is supposed to have grease applied. No grease came with it so I didn't even know it was supposed to have any grease. Though it's been working grand for two summers lots of use no issue, so maybe it's not super critical !!

[@bumbleshufflesdiy5908]

Yes this bike was for me and I use it all the time for 25k cycles. It's a great bike I'm 6 2" 15 stone and no issues at all.
