Erik Noren has been custom building bicycles all of his life. He owns Peacock Groove Bicycles in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He can build Transporter bikes, Cargo Trike bikes, Road Race Bikes, Velodrome Racing Bikes, Mountain bikes, Beach Cruiser bikes and more!
In this video, Erik Noren shows you the steps in assembling a custom built fat tire mountain bike. He starts by sharing steps on mounting a tubeless fat tire onto a 24" HED Cycling rim. Then installs the gear cogs and disc brakes. Next, Erik prepares the Cake bike frame for the crank and sprocket. The custom made fat tire front fork and headset are next. Erik installs raceface handle bars and ESI racing hand grips. He uses a Shimano SLX derailer kit and blue cable lines to match the anodized blue raceface sprocket chain ring.

He builds and awesome electric trike truck. I bet he could easily adapt it for you. I have been thinking about getting him to build me one. We briefly talked about it 2 years ago.

[@yossefworetaw4672]

Just bought a cheap fat bike and now upgrading it. Great video and helps to watch someone who actually knows what they’re doing . Nice build ! 👍

[@quantumfixits7574]

Always nice to see a fellow bike mechanic who knows what they are doing operate...great vid (and a very nice Fatbike!)

[@00708046]

Great instructions . Very clear and precise. Thanks.

[@WildCaptures]

Very detailed build and awesome quality! I ride 2.25inch 29er hardtail but this is next level fun👍👍

[@ITweeaboo]

Groovy bicycle!

[@ismaelpina1365]

Keep up the awsome work

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

Blazing Saddles, I caught that. Excuse me, while I whip this out. That was a good one.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

One of my Bucket List items was recording Erik Noren from Peacock Groove build one of his custom bicycles. He makes all of his frames and forks by hand. His bikes have won several awards and even stirred up controversy. He rides over mediocrity and loves challenging the industry with different ideas. While recently in his workshop, my eye caught an Orange Metal Flake Fat bike frame, “I want to record you building this bike!” and he kindly obliged! Please share with any of your friends into Fat Tire or Custom Mountain bikes. This is the first time Erik has shared his assembly stage and it’s loaded with tips and he’s also hilarious!

[@twowheelohana]

Gorgeous bike, fantastic craftsmanship! I'm curious why why doesn't use much cutting oil or bearing grease when installing parts? I used to be a race mechanic and we had it pounded into us that we lubed or locktited everything. Interesting.

[@williamvan909]

wow out standing good too know buddy way to go great information to know two thumps up.

[@mike_hunt_fish_trap]

Always love a blazing saddles fan

[@dejayrezme8617]

Thanks, this was super interesting!

[@joebob3719]

That van is very cool.

[@edwardsavje1476]

Good video guy!!!👍👍

[@VladooDIY]

Thank you for this !

[@johndepew2621]

I keep rewatching this video because of how oddly satisfying it is😂😂

[@Krik76]

Better than advertised

[@gouisegaming5574]

Steer the bus " now, What I remember is we hit a bunch of KIDS"

[@johnharlan7205]

It helps to take a file and break the outside edges of the finish on the head tube, so that there’s no chipping of the finish that is in a visible area.

[@Crazyposer]

Bro you are like a Luthier…. What a dream of fat bike …. ❤️‍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danialhowe9814]

i have that same powder coat on my chopper with gloss black overlay flames the camera doesnt do it justice. the tiny metal flake in it and the yellow/orange color flips are incredible in the sun

[@my2cents499]

Dawn dish soap works awesome on grips and when dry acts like glue

[@moksetharous9639]

Nice bike 👍

[@Sappingtonsaquatics]

Awesome fat tire bike man. I live in Duluth MN

[@jeeprubicon6650]

At first I thought you looked like a complete dork, but I must apologize. You are a skilled individual with lots of love and energy for what you do. My respect Sir.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Erik is great... he's been approached about doing reality shows about bike building several times.

[@alexafa316]

Wow that is a very good tutorial! :D good video bro I really enjoyed watching and learned a lot:) I want to build my own fat tire mountain bike/downhill and such

[@Gerry32]

Cool !

[@flix7753]

With all the joking aside, that is a precision build. Great looking bike. Might have to go get some Cake.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Hi Flix, thanks for commenting! Thank you, Bill at www.mnpctech.com

[@justaguy4real]

15:30 using soap for decals to move them around for adjustment while wet is still sticky after dries.

[@plentyofair3845]

[@maxmason6053]

Can I get a coffee with that CAKE ??

[@cdgarrett1]

Love to have one.

[@AI-Driven-Entrepreneur]

To build or buy a cake bike one must eat lots of cake =)

[@That.red.seat1]

I ride a 26x4” fat bike and I love it

[@simonm1447]

I considered a similar project. However, after the cost calculation I ended in buying a finished one, I got a quite good one with a light aluminum frame and fork with through axles from a well known brand for less than the parts would have costed.

[@tymax9818]

Magnifique

[@juztinebenlot8898]

nice bike, i wish i have a bike like that..

[@Jordan-ot7qf]

DUDE NICE

[@LordSzo]

Great video, but in Europe we won't get these parts right away. it is a freak. But you showed me some important things that I will use when reworking my new fate :) thank Y ou! stay healthy!

[@nglstefan]

Nice video

[@whatsnext8696]

Awesome bike. I bought a Walmart fat bike because of low finance situation. I love the fat bike concept but Walmart bike fell apart after 75 miles. I'm gonna save for a year and try to build a better built one. Thanks for the great vid.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

sounds like a good plan! Thanks Big Mike!

[@voodoo7008]

That’s cool. Hope you’ve not been looted. I don’t have a fat tire mtb, but do have a nice Soul Beach Cruiser. I love it.

[@Jason_Family_Man]

15:35 😂🤣😂🤣😂 DID YOU SAY NENER?!?!?

[@akash_exe]

[@fatyowls]

Action shot!

[@ismaelpina1365]

Mahn yalls bike anit no joke awsome Video and crafting👍

[@downtherabbithole3534]

Awesome but chain slaps are going to eat up the shifter cable

[@rcgillsympaticoca]

Could it have been run underneath the chain stay? Is there something that can be added to it as is to protect it? That's not too ugly I mean... :-D

[@jusride7]

Bravo

[@sportsmanspaceman]

cool nice

[@bfoster3610]

Thanks

[@esqueue]

After 10:25, next step is to install your BBSHD motor.

[@energyking2061]

Nice

[@donjayamaha6174]

could you do a video on hand bending the seatstay and chainstay that will help us a lot

[@blacklangster1141]

Anyone else get “and two shots of vodka” *glug glug glug glug glug* when he poured the sealant?

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Grey Goose is very smooth

[@MdSahil-kw9ti]

Good bro

[@fasteddylove876]

What is a good source for the parts on a bike like this? E-bay? Amazon? Specific suppliers?

[@mtbboy1993]

only wheels I can think of that are actually tubeless without tape is Mavic UST, there are no spoke holes, so no leakage, no taping needed.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

That is a cool bike. I love the exile motorcycles. Kind of like an exile bicycle (except not black) :-)

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

I loved Exile too, Russell Mitchell is a lot like Erik, they refuse to compromise and conform to industry trends

[@williamhayes9642]

Minneapolis!

[@IkarosCanFly]

Wouldn't you want the bottom bracket bearings to thread in the direction that you would pedal so as you pedal you wouldn't un-screw the BB bearings?

[@jcmymtb1258]

I took my cassete out for cleaning once I was done and putted back, the derailleur didn’t line up, my lbs fixed, Im about to do it again for this winter and try to figure it out what I did wrong

[@rastarasta9302]

Im from brasil l liked it...✌✌

[@BladeRicsi]

nice work!

[@MarxManlangit]

Nice fatbike bro

[@vaishnaviupadhyay5182]

Can you please make a vedio on bicycle best lights and indicators

[@frednel4326]

Lol that looks almost like my fat bike..i took those crappy handle bars off and put a cool high chopper sort of bar on and had to extend the rear brake cable and gear cable too and now its realy comfy and fun to ride sitting upright..nice vid btw..realy enjoyed it thnx buddy 👍..subbed too

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

that sounds really cool, and I appreciate the sub, but this video was one time only opportunity to capture Erik building a custom fat tire bike. I'm glad I was there, so I could share it with everyone here on youtube.

[@frednel4326]

@@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods well thnx agen buddy..Erik sure is a fun dude to watch lol..hese sound affects while describing things is pretty funny 👍😂

[@Mctzuma]

You can also use wd-40 to put on grips

[@speakforthetrees1]

Oh wow, I am the current owner of this bike!! and my nickname is spitfire.

[@pegturner6748]

Can you make a step-through fat tire with a comfy seat? What colors do you have?

[@eugenewong6076]
