2003 Specialized Rockhopper Restomod Build. Part 3 Build

[@jeremynorth]

Really nice and cheap build. I like your aesthetic reasonings

[@jime2504]

Great job, looks a beauty well done! Really enjoyed watching the series, very informative and relaxing too!

[@MozOnBikes]

Thank you for the kind words and positive feedback 🤙

[@DevonNroos]

And that other bikes a Saracen 👍

[@theretrobikeshed3392]

Great out come dude 🚲👍👌

[@westfeuersongs]

Why you use the right brake lever for the front brake? The "standard" cable routing with the left brake lever for the front brake looks cleaner and more functional. I like the 7 speed with the 10 speed 105! Nice bike built.

[@DevonNroos]

Put the thin washers between the v brake and pad for wider rims

[@verdomtnochmal]

Looks nice!

[@MozOnBikes]

Cheers, hope you enjoyed the build. I’ve got a Killer bike coming up next weekend hopefully, working on the video right now 🤙

[@chrismatheson2561]

Am I right in thinking if you have a 7speed shifter and a 10 speed cassette you can only select 7 gears on the cassette

[@tugaa24]

i have one doubt, can i replace rims 26 " for 29 " in this bike?

[@MozOnBikes]

No!

[@tugaa24]

@@MozOnBikeswhat kind of changes can I do to make this bike in a gravel? Road and off-road easy terrain

[@MozOnBikes]

Faster rolling 26in tyres like Schwable Billy Bonker or Panaracer Gravel Kings would be the first thing I would consider. Maybe consider a road style drop bar, although the cost of the parts can be expensive. Saying that I don’t think a drop bar makes the bike much faster. Ive actually made a video where I convert a 26” 90s Marin mountain bike into a gravel bike so check that out.

@@MozOnBikes I will thanks. Changing the susp axel for one fork is ok?

[@MozOnBikes]

@@tugaa24 yeah just look for a ridged fork that has a longer axle to crown length or that is suspension corrected.
