[@qualm43]

Most aesthetic MTB frame on the market.

[@isaacjonathan9458]

Some day I will have you RAAW😊 (much love from Africa)

[@TheHmheldinho]

Not enough money for now, next year will order one V3!!! And I can put all the parts of my Superfoxy on it!! Awesome!!! As a Bike Mech, I love how you guys bild everything!! Cable routing is the best!!!! Love you guys!!!!

[@buzzycoyote2573]

Love that frame 😀

[@mrTrabajo]

wie KINO!

[@Mr.OrangeMTB]

sauber Ruben, fein gemacht. Fahre nun 2 Jahre auf meinem v2.2 und bin stolzer RAAWrider ;-)

[@akissparaskevopoulos]

This music so relaxing and at the same time this repetition drives you crazy. You sure got the tools need for the job.

[@davidsztefek1202]

schon drei jahren ich fahre madonna v1, und, jedrmal, wenn ich sehe sie, ich bin begeistert. Madonna V3 wird es meine nachste liebe. Danke Ruben!

[@owenswarthout686]

Cleanest bike build I’ve seen in awhile. Amazing content fellas!

[@raawmountainbikes]

Appreciate it!

[@hardmtnbiker]

agreed!

[@clothshorse]

The last models are looking sick 🙌 great work you lot

[@rollygrubschi1695]

Da hat Ruben wieder einen großen Wurf gezaubert! Und selbst beim Schrauben klasse, ist sicher wieder großartig zu fahren und all die Verbesserungen. Ich finde das B3 optisch zwar nicht so schön wie das V2 , aber all die Verbesserungen machen all das wieder Wett. Ich selbst fahre das V.1.2 mein Sohn das V2.2 sind sehr überzeugt von RAAW. DANKE Ruben!

[@raawmountainbikes]

Danke, das freut uns zu hören! 🙏

[@hardmtnbiker]

super nice cable routing! Really clean frame!

[@georgebailey6307]

Bro you're hired! sweet build, anybody else Shazam the music?

Great build video and learned a few things.

[@VelkePivo]

It almost seems like you've done this before... (LOVE my Yalla!)

Nice.finally Shimano XT

[@savasyldz4826]

Thanks

[@dark-bear101]

Toller Aufbau, klasse Video. Mich würde mal interessieren ob es den Kettenstrebenschutz, angepasst, auch irgendwann für V2.2 geben wird, Wäre auf alle ne coole Sache

[@raawmountainbikes]

Dankeschön! Beim Madonna V2.2 ist die Kabelführung anders und leider nicht so einfach zu ändern. Hierzu würde eine Kabelbinderbefestigung fehlen.

[@fud1376]

Proper Weapon..!

[@barryscott3303]

What did he do with the bolt on the loosen then tighten?

[@BogdanMiliu]

How exactly do you set the dropper cable length before taking the frame out of the box? I thought you said a qualified mechanic needs to install parts.

[@testtesttesttesttest884]

How would you fit a rear derailleur cable without knowing the length first which you wouldn’t know without mounting a shifter. Especially if you are drawing cable from a box

[@johnlesoudeur3653]

Nice build but why zipp ties for the cables/hoses. There are dedicated reuseable clips available.

[@raawmountainbikes]

It's true, we've tried them, but they don't hold the cables as well as cable ties. That's why we prefer cable ties. Only nine are used on a frame and are included in the contents of the frame.

[@mrvapor4791]

Serious bike

[@hambo76]

I'm yet to see a bike build that shows a mechanic fitting tyres and sealant without a jump in the video - in this one the wheels just magically appear all fitted at 21:22!

[@mtbmelt__]

What is the difference between the white and green grease? Why is it used differently in the shown applications?

[@raawmountainbikes]

Motorex White Grease is slightly more water resistant. The green grease (Motorex Grease 2000) is a general purpose grease for assembly parts. We prefer the white grease for parts that are not often removed (like the headset and BB) and the green grease for parts that are more often removed (like the shock bolts). The green grease is also a little easier to clean.

[@bdean95]

My next build

[@DieterVanHolder]

* tongue in cheek * When are you shipping my frame!!!! 😅

[@raawmountainbikes]

Only a few more weeks to go :)

[@DieterVanHolder]

@@raawmountainbikes While I'm looking out the window like a dog waiting for the mailman... what kind of grease do you recommend I order for the threads? The white stuff you're applying with the brush.

[@raawmountainbikes]

​@@DieterVanHolder The white grease we use in the video is called 'Motorex White Grease'. The green grease is called 'Motorex Grease 2000'. The threads only need a little threadlocker.

[@jesseklansek2151]

Would a copper based anti seize compound work instead of the lithium based?

[@JIBBING_1980S]

Is there possibility of upcoming V4 ,V5,V6 and so on..?

[@Sampaio1996]

Bike linda.

[@Silentkidgaming]

I wonder what would be the cost?

[@newchel]

Этот велосипед моя мечта после статьи на Pinbike, я в него влюбился! Но я не смогу его себе позволить получая зарплату в 40 тысяч рублей в месяц😢 Съёмка, механик, помещение, инструмент и музыка великолепны! Я бы оказался на седьмом небе от счастья если бы мне позволили побыть на месте этого механика... Удручает только то что велосипед был закреплён в стойке за шток дроппера (он же может поцарапаться (покрытие для скольжения)) и почему чашки для рулевой сначала забивались киянкой, почему бы не сразу стянуть специальным прессом?

[@абоба-е9з5ь]

18:43 where is olives?

[@abzaman77]

What type of greese is this? Is it suitable for bearing?

[@raawmountainbikes]

We use the Motorex White Grease, which is slightly more water resistant compared to the green grease (Motorex Grease 2000), which is a general purpose grease for assembly parts.

[@muhammadmufliqun5043]

I really want mtb like that, but i dont have a money to buy it 😢

[@pisolelo1470]

kein Fett auf die blauen Dichtungen an den Drehpunkten vom Hinterbau ?

[@raawmountainbikes]

Das ist richtig, die Dichtungen sollten trocken laufen. Achsen und Schrauben sollten an den Kontaktflächen gefettet werden, wie im Video gezeigt.

[@pisolelo1470]

@@raawmountainbikes haben die Dichtungen trocken, nicht mehr Reibung ?

[@raawmountainbikes]

Die Dichtungen haben nur eine minimale Vorspannung und daher keine nennenswerte Reibung. Fett würde nur unnötig Schmutz anziehen und ansammeln.

[@pisolelo1470]

okay macht Sinn, danke für die Antwort@@raawmountainbikes

[@testtesttesttesttest884]

In this day and age, I can not believe people still clamp the weight of their bikes on the dropper stanchion

[@YoKave]

I honestly hope that press rotates the bearings as it presses it in. Have you ever heard of brinelling or false brinelling? Kinda funny how you said "everything should be assembled by a qualified tech" right at the start. Seems not all are created equal. btw, nice frame

[@PowerrangerHC]

Noch 5 Wochen und Warterei hat ein Ende

[@EFer-gz7lt]

What size is the handlebar? (ONE)

[@raawmountainbikes]

35 mm rise!

[@StepXX]

@@raawmountainbikes So you still need a riser bar with that high stack :)

[@stepan.furman]

Dropper insertion depth doesn't seem very convinsing even though seat tube is fairly short

[@raawmountainbikes]

This bike is a medium size with a short 420 mm seat tube and most people can use the 210mm One Up dropper. Sounds pretty convincing to us ;)

[@clothshorse]

If I’m reading that right, thats a 180mm post, so plenty of room for 210mm at the same saddle height 🤷‍♂️

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

nice bike, of course you don't weight it, it's a tank!

[@cringeski]

No internal routing? Wow. You missed it too!!! What

[@okatbikes4917]

Used a Knipex 74 02 200 instead of a Knipex 95 61 190 to cut outer cable. Literally unrideable.

[@T-rick]

Anyone here ridden the V3 yet?

[@jorgemarshall66]

Nice build, horrible external cable routing, why? 😪

[@emirerden3189]

Im from turkey, please raaw frame🥺

[@lauraweissman8830]

if only

[@kasparsskudrevics4356]

XT cranks are not suitable on a bike like Madonna. I've already destroyed two 12S Shimano cranks--SLX and XT--they fail at the pedal insert, threads just come out. Was talking to fellow mechanics, it's a known issue. So it's not just the road cranks where Shimano is failing, and not admitting it.

[@raawmountainbikes]

Sorry to hear that, but we've only got good experiences with Shimano XT cranks.

[@dangermouseanpenfold]

Had the same things on SLX (not XT yet touch wood) and Deore level - seems to happen after a pedal strike which then loosens the pedal a little and then yep - pedal out, threads out. Fixed by inserting steel inserts (Unior).

[@krushiXX]

@@dangermouseanpenfold same. Went with GX cranks and grinded the wide teeth on a sram chainring so the stupid Shimano quicklink wont bind, so far so good

[@emir5034]

Nice video bro !!! But the cable routing on that down tube !!!! HORRIBLE

[@raawmountainbikes]

Thank you! We love it ;)

[@stuvademakaroner9607]

Still better than integrated

[@emir5034]

absolutely agree, but why so complicated.?they could have freed the bottle cage mount and put it on the upper tube, or on the sides. i dont know!!!! @@stuvademakaroner9607
