Francis Cade's Mullet Custom Bike Build

[@leegreenaway8006]

For someone who still gets stressed out trying to fit a rear wheel, I find these videos strangely relaxing. Lovely bike too.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Glad you like them.

[@kamucho]

The ambient spa music makes it 👌

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Bike Spa. Maybe that’s the name.

[@kylehagertybanana]

nice one Jimmi very relaxing

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Thanks, Kyle.

[@aaronhamlen8215]

Enjoying the build video, you can tell the way the mechanic works on the bike shows his passion for his work. Nice background music.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Yeah, Nic been working in bike shops for over 20 years.

[@martinmalloy5997]

I was a bike mechanic in my youth and it's great to watch a bike being put together, pizza looked nice too 😋

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Glad you like the vids. Pizza was sooooo good.

[@frankieboy5859]

Worked in a bike shop during the pandemic. I wonder why I come always back to watch such vids. Maybe I should change my profession at 61.🤣

Awesome build, loving the ambient music

[@CanyonWanderer]

The relaxation factor of this vid was just what I needed after a week like last

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Glad you enjoyed pal

[@KPong1337]

I thought i was gonna miss the silly, star-wars-tinged banter… and i was right. I love how much thinking Nic does before he says something funny, how just outright Jimmi is and how just hilarious Francis is without trying. Having said that, i do love watching nic work with the subtle music behind him. As i’m sure the comment section is rife with “no mask while cutting a carbon tube?!” and “bar tape/brakes should be this way or that” i wanted to make sure i got in another i still love your work be it Atticus, when you show up in Francis’ vids (it honestly seems like a Marvel-level crossover when my fave cycling subs meet up!) or your other endeavors (more music?). Keep it up! I love how these drop on Fridays as it’s the end of my weekend and it’s a great cap - esp these build vids.

Hutchinson is a solid brand (I'm using Touaregs)! I wish there are a lot more out there who would use and feature it on their build. Beautiful bike btw!

[@KPong1337]

…i also love how Nic just splashes through the pomp-and-circumstance that SRAM put millions of dollars of design into just because he’s seen it so so many times.

[@zachwallach8896]

Almost pulled the trigger on a Scott Addict Gravel 20 but can’t get past the purple/black frame. This build is right up my alley, love all the components and the color, especially the gold. 🙌🏽❤️

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Colour first for me. 😂

[@mattsgigvids4839]

Go for it, I have a green Addict Gravel 30 frame, built up with SRAM Force AXS and 303 Firecrest wheels......Its an absolute weapon

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

I know right. Very fancy. But can totally down spec it and it would still be amazing.

[@DelConboy]

@@Jimmidoesstuff after buying that frame I think my ‘spec’ right now would call for what the pros refer to as “a balance bike”. A bit basic for some peoples needs but you can’t deny the overall weight advantage!!!

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Weight makes no difference off road. It’s all about comfort.

[@markjthomson]

love the gold chain and gold cassette! Nice build.

[@janemf]

Thank you for this build. I’m looking at building a bike almost exactly the same (probably diverge vs Scott, but the same components otherwise).

So satisfying

[@nevetsspence7740]

[@nevetsspence7740]

Have you any plans on making a similar build for anyone else?! I’m toying with upgrading my existing bike (Nukeproof Digger) or trading it in and going for something else but in the same style as the digger!

[@jimpeyton1459]

Hi Jimmi: Francis sent me. Great video. When do you decide to cut the steerer tube? I watched the cut and said: can't undo that...." I need a crash course in cable routing and hydraulic brake installation .... nice watching a pro at work.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Nic marks it off based on the customers bike fit. Having made these videos I can confirm I have no interest in ever doing my own routing/discs. Leave that for the pros! 😂

is there something special about the bbb grip tape you're using? noticed it in all of your other builds and it doesn't seem to be that popular elsewhere

Hey Jimmi! I have the same bike and am thinking about to upgrade the bottom bracket for a more durable one. Which one did you fit on this bike? I'm running the Sram Rival XPLR wide currently. Any suggestions? Cheers!

[@mikeynon]

What chain is this? The eagle chain I installed is too short for 46t front and 50t rear

[@NicVieriMechanic]

The standard Eagle chain comes with 126links. Should fit okay. This one was the XX1 gold version. 👌🏽

[@mikeynon]

Using the Sram method of chain sizing, I wasn’t able to get the two ends of the standard eagle 126 link chain to overlap.

Over the chainring and 50t cog, and not through the mech?

Kool video, and sick bike. BUT hope you court that the front brake isn’t mounted correctly.. caliper is too far from rotor. Fork must be 160mm rotor ready, rather than 140 and adding a 160mm caliper mount means it sits far too high. Don’t mean to be THAT guy but hey here I am haha 🤣

They’re pre-bled complete brake systems. Means they can be cut to size, to attached and no mineral oil, or re-bleeding is required. Saves bike shops a load of time. Does seem odd though. I do agree.
