How To Assemble Your First Mountain Bike | Build A Bike From The Box

Did you find these tips helpful?

[@zzlat_]

Yep :)

[@XNick291X]

Yes, especially when Rich is on my dream bike!

Yes 👍

Absolutely, thank you!

[@jparry2662]

No The process of adjusting the preload of the headset bearings is vague and although you flag up on screen you just need to remove the play from the bearings, there is no demonstration of how to check for play. The presenter just adds more tension to the top cap bolt as if this should be done with every bike built from a box. Using the ball end of an Allen key to loosen torqued up bolts will result in them becoming rounded. The same can be said for torquing them up. This was first picked up on when watching the demonstration of the headset adjustment procedure when the presenter loosens the stem bolts. More worryingly though the use of ball end of the Allen key to tighten the crank arm preload cap that is wrongly described as nice and tight. When the Allen key is removed you can see he has started to round the cap on a brand new bike! How to set up gears? Just watch another click bait video where we talk you through cable tension and limit screws without a mention that the hanger needs to be aligned to the frame before any of these tasks are performed. Brake setup hard to fault you on with the presumption rotors are true and brake mounts do not need to be faced. It' would be nice if you had mentioned to check all bolts are adequately torqued, tyres are inflated and to use anti seize on the seat post as well as wheel axles (even though you use grease). Lastly you forgot to tell us how to true the wheels, even out the spoke tension of those questionable factory builds and set the handlebar roll with an even gap on the stem face plate (where applicable of course).

Got my bike on the 21st June, put it together on the 22nd June. Riding it to work, sick and tired of buses being late. I am into fitness so it will be a pleasure. Thank you for the tutorial, very much appreciated. 👍🏿👍🏿

Imagine how many parts these guys have collected over the years from swapping out parts with sponsor parts

[@connorcampbell144]

Personally I like to take the bike out of the box and shred the bike before I have built it

[@space_cakes]

Same it’s just a whole other feeling !

[@harrychetwin147]

i've done that before too, however my preference is to take the bike out of the box, shred the box, and then come home and look at the pile of bike parts on the floor. I guess we just all do things differently

You guys should do a bike build video tutorial from bare frame up

Before watching this video , i have already assembled my giant brand bike and rode it. İt's an amazing feeling getting back into cycling after 2 years. İ thought that I could do without cycling but I need the breather from time to time.

Would have been more instructive, if Rich had used for the assemble the tools provided by Canyon in the box, like the torque wrench.

At least now you know how to assemble your Canyon. I didn't, and screwed my derailleur up and had to buy a replacement. The manual in the box and the assemble videos on Canyon website suck big time I must say.

Thank you sirrrr

[@cancer8343]

I was just looking at that canyon hardtail on their site a few minutes ago.

[@Vvvrrrmmm]

So much assembly missing as pre assebled, would be better to show everything someone needs to know

[@chiccorocker]

One thing I like to do on a new bike is brake levers bleed. This is not a full bleed and it's very quick. It's just to let air out of the levers reservoir if there is any from the assembly. I found that there is frequently a small amount. Not enough to be a major hindrance, but definitely enough for the brakes to feel a bit spongy. Takes only 5 minutes, put the cup with some oil on the brake lever, compress and release the lever a few times, watching for bubbles coming out. Repeat until no more bubbles come out. Done :D

[@elliemoswete7879]

can you make a detailed video on " How to assemble 2022 Pivot firebird air" with all the specific materials needed to assemble the bike

[@gmbn]

You do exactly the same as in this video, using the same lubricants and greases, but you do it wth a 2022 Pivot Firebird Air 😉

What's the size of the frame? Is that M size?

[@tilenstupar9537]

How tall you are and how big is the frame?

[@mediumfast]

I just noticed, does the UK not require sold bikes to have a 'dork disk'? I have to say it is way cooler to pull it out of the box without one.

[@lukegerrard4969]

[@zcmdzpp127]

Is it easy to configure the front brakes to be on the right side?

[@TheHitithard]

The proper way to tighten the crank bolts is the same way you do it on the stem! Not the other way round. :) It makes no sense to tighten the bolts and after that try to adjust it.

[@AndyTomin]

Does the bike come with grease?

[@jasonfisher1496]

Been trying to buy one of these from Canyon's site for the past month. None available here still it seems. Feeling a little jealous.

Not sure why you left stock grease on the chain. It will form grinding paste very soon and damage the chain very soon.

Great bike , rides smooth kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing

[@wotingbudong]

do it without the bike vise, as most of us would

[@dvs620]

I don't understand this video. Rich never got hit by the box. Didn't change the grips. He used proper tools (for the most part). No banging in stuff, cutting down forks and running them in the curb. Didn't hit a passing bystander from California with a part that got away. And lastly, he wasted so much time when he could have just "magic-ed" the whole bike together. 😉

[@charlie9ine]

Good idea but this requires a little bit more comprehensive video. There are gaps that are going to cause mistakes and confusion and... a trip to the bike shop

I was to receive two packages from Canyon through UPS. Both packages were loaded in the same van in the morning as per the tracking info. The first package with accessories was delivered on time. The second package with the bike itself came one day later in a resealed box. Probably were thinking the whole night what to do with it and finally decided to deliver it to me the next morning. The most stupid thing ever, to write on the box that it's a bicycle. The box should be blank and only contain the receiver's address and name.
