Pro Bike Build Peter Sagan I Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 I Team Bora Hansgrohe I Tour de France

[@GCPerformance18]

Absolutely loved how he bled those brakes man. No lie that is so smart. Love seeing new ways to do things

[@danielcafferata1318]

Do you know what the metallic ring he slid between the fork’s steerer tube and the upper bearing’s compression ring is? My SL7’s headset has made tons of clicking noises since it was new (about 8,000 miles ago), and I’m wondering if this is some sort of remedy?

[@roadbikechannel]

Always good learning from the pros ;).

[@sbccbc7471]

@@danielcafferata1318 That seems to be a steerer tube shim they fabricated themselves. For your Tarmac, is there a 3 - 5 mm gap between the edge of the stem and the top of the expander plug's flange?

Much respect to this mechanic. His attention to detail is 2nd to none. You know if the rider doesn't like or feel comfortable with any aspect he will adjust it to specification. Incredible.

It’s amazing how a Pro peloton team mechanic could build a new bike on the field just like that. These pro team mechanics gets no rest. They prepare the bikes before the race starts. Ride along the team car during the race to fix any mechanical. Then after the race. Cleans and inspect the bikes. Then rebuild it again if necessary or change the gearing setup for the next stage race.

[@roadbikechannel]

They're absolute heroes indeed ;).

What a build, work of art from the pro. His bar taping is spot on maintaining tight tension all through and the end result shows.

Peter Sagan prefers a really tight and small wrap with the smalest overlapp possible. His brother is just the opposite with a really thick wrap.

[@whynotride327]

He was happy with the way that BB spun?? Looks like it had peanut butter in the bearings. I like seeing threads in the bottom bracket though.

[@bikedawg]

Yeah--i was thinking the same thing. There's about 0.5Watts wasted.

[@fritz2934]

Probably the same issue a lot of companies struggle with: The diameters and roundness of the bottom bracket holes. Once one side is out of tolerance it is immediately recognisable when spinning the cranks. And they still sell these frames for thousands of euros/dollars.

[@Jammeelly]

I've watched so many hambini videos and know right away something is wrong with that bb

[@Jammeelly]

@@fritz2934 thats also why pressfit is better in terms of efficiency

[@user-ys6hl1uy1t]

Hambini would have a field day with that BB!

[@MS-bw7yt]

At least the mechanic seemed to be pretty thorough in his efforts to adjust it. I think he did a very good job. But what can you do, if frame manufactures are to stupid to get some simple tolerances right...

[@11-inch]

In case you didnt know, that is a BSA bottom bracket.

[@VitekHolubovsky]

@@11-inch BSA isn't a magic cure-all to BB issues. There can still be misalignment even with a threaded BB.

[@MS-bw7yt]

@@11-inch in case you didn't know, also the Bsa Shell has to go into the carbon frame 😃 and threads inevitably introduce some deviation, because they need "room " to work. Trust me, I am engineer. Bsa is just a step backwards from a technical perspective, because frame manufactures sell you frames >3000$ and dont want to spend to money on getting some basic tolerancea right

[@MS-bw7yt]

With BSA you have 1. bearings which are pressfitted into the outer bottom bracket cups 2. the interface bottom bracket shell - carbon frame and then 3.the threads themselves. That are just more points to introduce misalignment compared to a direct pressfit solution. A good direct pressfit will be lighter, stiffer and more precise. The only difference: Threads will not creak even if they are done poorly

[@generischgesichtslosgeneri3781]

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

@@11-inch it has nothing to do with that. If the bb of the frame is not aligned perfectly it wont spin freely unless you solve the issue.

[@derahmad2831]

I thought at first its a standard shimano bb, which normally spins like in the video, but after the second time watching the build, I realised its a CeramicSpeed unit, and I was astounded. If you watch Canyons pro builds, each frame is X-Rayed. and thoroughly checked, tolarences for example, and that means that only good frames in all aspects get ridden by the Pros, I'd expect the same procedures from Bora-Hansgrohe. Or, maybe, its a faulty BB, who knows..

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Yeah, and for even mechanically savvy amateurs to just drop out the fork every couple weeks to check on steerer health .. forget it .. major pita. Internal routed disk brake bikes look bitchin and all .. but they are for pro teams with the resources .. not daily drivers for amateurs. Mine looks great in the living room as a piece of art and that’s about it.

[@pakelly99]

A craftsman…oblivious to some of my antipodean brethren, enjoys the satisfaction of a job well done, takes pride in combining a disparate set of components and frame set together into what even its harshest critics concede is a thing of beauty. Whatever ones view as regards the brand, which I can agree with on a lot of points… don’t take them out on the professional bike mechanic, nor confuse his work with that of other individuals. You wouldn’t want everyone to tar you with the same brush of some arbitrary demographic, which would be unfair to you right, why take out your frustrations on someone, who anyone with the eyes to, can see does a great job, enjoys it, and, moreover, doesn’t spend inordinate amounts of time trolling. If you troll too much, you’re liable to lose the impact of the good that you say within the filler of the spurious, baseless chaff e.g. the criticism of phil gaimon…(based on what?) just my 2c. P.S. by “what”, I mean evidence, what you’ve witnessed the individual do for example, as opposed to saying, “well I used to race pro, therefore I can tell by someone’s bmi”, come on.

The mechanic uses the stem from Venge, not Tarmac (incorrect description). You can see how it's off and not flush with spacers. Also it weights 250 grams, tarmac stem is lighter. I'm wondering why Sagan opted for Venge stem vs Tarmac? Maybe stiffness?
