Blue lug international is where I got my Kashimax aero saddle. They are out of Tokyo Japan. It is a leather padded saddle. this bike shop caters to Bike packers and cyclists that are into the gravel scene but they have Kashimax saddles. The only reason why I know that because that’s mostly my scene of bike riding but I did get a BMX because I’m old-school as well. They also have some fairly padded saddles by Kashimax, but if you want the closest to the old-school plastic race saddle the Kashimax arrow is I have. It is padded, and it’s leather it’s a very nice saddle. I really enjoy your videos. It was nice to hear I’m not the only one going through a midlife crisis right now.😊❤️🙏

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for all of that information on the Kashimax seat! Really appreciate you sharing that with us and for the nice comment about our videos. We're all in this together! Thanks again!

[@randallreamer7522]

That build is coming out great

[@cruisinginthe808]

I think it is too. It's gonna be pretty nice when it's done. Stay tuned!

Really? Thanks for sharing that! I wish more bikes were made in the USA. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

I put a 180mm disc on my gt pro series 26. Made my brakes feel so much better

[@cruisinginthe808]

That's cool that it could fit the 180 on it! 🤙🏻

[@chrisparker7815]

Mahalo for the shout out! Cult/Van's makes a 29x2.1, lots of variations. Maybe work for that beauty. Don't know the specs of both tires so you may have more "Homework" in your future..

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thank YOU for continuing to watch and comment on our stuff! Much appreciated! Thanks for the suggestions on the tires!

[@JimP419]

I used the same caliper bracket on my 29" GT performer. I found that while holding the brake any backwards pull on the bike the bracket rolled backwards even tho the block on the bracket sits in the dropout it still allowed a good bit of play. I wrapped a super heavy zip tie thru the bracket and around the seat stay it stopped 90 percent of the movement. As far as the disc adapter there is one guy in California that has billet adapters for the small side of the hub 30x1mm thread allowing me to run my high quality 18t freewheel. I'm still waiting for my hutch 29xl to ship and im planning to run a 110mm profile elite disc hub with the caliper adapter.

[@pan8a]

Definitely like the white grips better!

[@cruisinginthe808]

I think so too! Glad I got some support on that! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@gmaster8007]

It is the original cw bars. I had one, and it looks exact. Looks soooo sick!!

[@cruisinginthe808]

We wish! These are repops from eBay. Don't they look legit from back in the day?

[@maskedupmarks]

@@cruisinginthe808 do you guys know the eBay seller of these I’m trying to find some just like it

[@bowlinjar]

Agreed on the white grips 👍

[@cruisinginthe808]

Don't they just match that bike? Thanks for watching and for the comment bro!

[@cfmechanic]

Look up gt heritage lp5 im pretty sure there have a 29x 2.1 for me the best bars ever are powerlite powerbends i bought a set 24 years ago and have never bought another bar since but have bought bikes just for their bars and now i have about 6 pair of p bend bars. Watching from california

Love you guys thanks for the shout out. The stickers and the Hutch look awesome. love the topic. I would love to hear your thoughts on the challenge of upgrading the Monster Quad. Seems to be a hell of a bike to start but wheel changes can become expensive quick. I think a talking discussion video would be cool vs trying to actually invest in it. Keep up the great work you are inspiring.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for the idea! I've wanted to upgrade my wheels on the Monster Quad but those darn Profile hubs are so expensive! We'll keep this in mind! Thanks for always watching our stuff and for leaving positive comments! Much appreciated bro!

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Another awesome video! If you paint those v-brake mounts, you'll need to sand them down if you ever use them in the future. Not a big deal though. For the brake lever, any long-pull mechanical lever would work, like the Box3 levers for v-brakes, for example. Beautiful bike, and I think those tires look great!

[@cruisinginthe808]

You always come in clutch with the awesome advice! Good point on the painting of the v-brake mount. I like the Box 3 levers myself! Thanks for watching and for another great comment!

[@robertbonner7469]

Another great build and video! If you do go with the Paul Klamper, you won’t be disappointed. It’s the best mechanical disc brake and they look awesome. As for the lower profile tires , 700c tires may be the way to go.

[@cruisinginthe808]

The Paul Klamper? I have to check that out! Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!

[@calvinchinnery6644]

Try the laid back seat post. I think you'll like it. I have one on a GT 29 and it makes the bike feel more comfortable to cruise and easier to wheelie. I'm about 5 10 so not really tall. Also, I have disc brakes on my 27.5 PK Ripper but I can't stop them squealing/juddering despite changing pads, cleaning rotors and adjusting them. Let me know if you have any ideas to fix them. By the way, I'm 55, in the UK and have the same memories of BMX as you. I can send you some photos of my reissue bikes if you have a contact email on your website? Cheers guys

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Have you tried realigning the caliper? Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4WVg3-dhtSsrNU

[@cruisinginthe808]

After we stopped recording, we took the bike down and Bernie sat on it for the first time and he kinda liked it so we'll see what he decides to do! Thanks for sharing your pics with us. Check your email for a reply as we want to do some reaction vids on the channel where we look at and talk about bikes from our viewers. I'd love to talk about yours if that's ok!

[@cruisinginthe808]

More awesome education for us man! Much appreciated!

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Ayyy!! I shouted y'all out on my Instagram today, and I was going to include your KZbin URL and realized you don't have a custom URL. You should qualify, and KZbin is going to start using user name handles soon. I just got an email about it yesterday. So make sure you get your custom URL soon!

[@cruisinginthe808]

I've been hearing they'll let you choose a custom one and I've been checking but I don't have it available yet. Thank you so much for wanting to shout us out! Hopefully I can get that custom YT URL soon! Appreciate the support!

[@TuesdaysTurn]

@@cruisinginthe808 I did shout you out from my @TuesdaysTurn page! You should have been eligible for a custom URL, but I just Googled it and I guess they're not allowing it right now. But I'm sure once they let you choose your handle you'll be good. Good luck!

[@davidrodriguez1762]

Aloha Bernie ! how is the disc brake holding up ? I want to do the same thing on Klunker . justwant to know if this brake system is dependable and safe.

[@balloonknot3028]

Awesome content 👍

[@josephnguyen4688]

The v brake post can be removed with an Allen key some you can't just look inside the post and if you see an L key slot you can remove the v post without using those valve dice caps

[@cruisinginthe808]

Some of them can be removed and some cannot. I want to say Bernie has tried to remove the one on the Hutch but he thinks it's something that is welded to the frame. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@01FozzyS]

Loving this build,guys! Are the decals still available? Would love to put one on my '98 Fatboy Expert. Thanks!

[@cruisinginthe808]

I ran out of the prism type stickers but I ordered a new set with a white background which will be available soon. Head to my website and leave me your mailing address and I'll send some to you when I get the next order! Mahalo for watching and for the comment!

[@charliemartinez2329]

Guys, can you tell me the brand of caliper you are using and the adapter brand for a can do the same on my z frame? i have the same one you have in 26 inches in white. Thank you.

[@marqueswood1447]

Bike looks good man I like the tire tread I’m not 💯 on the bars just yet I wise GT made the cheat codes in a large format. These would be legit on this build. The grips and the rest are legit though I’m feeling like we need a splash of color like red alloy hubs w red grips and red decals But just an opinion Still looks dope though 😅

[@fanjacky4355]

how about SE big ripper?can do that same?

[@cruisinginthe808]

I'm positive you can do the same on a Big Ripper. You just need the brackets and the brake kit. I've seen other guys on YT and IG with a disc brake setup on their Big Ripper. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

For me I use wd 40 to take off grips cause it has the hose

[@cruisinginthe808]

That's right, WD40 has that hose you can use. Thanks for sharing that tip and for watching the vid!

[@paulclifton655]

I don’t know why anyone would put a disc brake on a bike with V brakes ? No advantage to stopping or slowing down for normal bike riding as the V brakes are great brakes.

[@cruisinginthe808]

V-Brakes are good brakes but disc brakes to me are just better. Less rim wear, especially on anodized rims. If I had a choice, Iʻd use disc brakes on all of my bikes. But they arenʻt very old school looking and a conversion requires a lot of stuff so I donʻt do them often. In fact for me, our new Torker is the first bike weʻre doing it on. Bernie did this one on his Hutch. Itʻs a preference thing and Iʻm excited to try it out on the new Torker build. The cool thing about it is that I have flip flop hubs and bought the adaptor for the smaller side so if I donʻt like how they work, I can just remove them and install v-brakes. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
