Selecting Parts For The Build | Garbage To Gravel -ish Episode 2

[@gcntech]

Have you got some bar tape for Jon's build? 😉

[@gdevansh]

Y'all want some Chinese bar tape? Like super cheap tape it costs £1.17

[@ripleybrowning-smith9617]

I've got some tangerine bar tape

[@ARKINHK]

I have some REAL lizard skin bar tape - from China. Happy to send it over. :).

[@dalezapple2493]

Jon a relic? Nay, a classic. Don't let them give you shizz about 26 wheels, MTB weenies used them for years...

[@hugobci]

Put leather on those dropbars.

[@najibnajmudin512]

Definitely will wait for another epic 50 minutes building bike video.

[@glenn7095]

I second that, epic 50!

[@petewilliams2998]

The full length build video gets my vote, looking forward to seeing the finished bike!

[@petinka721]

Jon is the man! 50 minute more with him will be great! Thanks again GCN!

[@billabongoneill]

Full length build video is the way to go please!

[@BikeItUK]

Another bike saved, high or low end very addictive and rewarding to do. Very refreshing to see a bit of recycling no greener or cooler way to get around, nice one guys keep up the great work I'm sure you will have inspired many, all the best Andy

[@Jayneflakes]

Go on, give us the full Jon Cannings build experience video. Not only are they great viewing, there is something remarkably peaceful about them.

[@craignittolo3040]

Full build up video helps me learn more about bikes and I enjoy the way you go about it

[@root4343]

YES! We would absolutly love a 50 minute "putting it all together video".

[@Latchfpv]

Full length build please Jon, that's the best. Channel needs longer videos in general.

[@BombedNevada]

Full length build! I love the little nuances of building a bike with a master.

[@rudytorres4917]

Yes, please. Full length feature episode on the build!

[@SkyeNott]

50 minute build no question. Very relaxing and lots of interesting info

[@whatsdougupto]

Full length build!! lets get it started.. Thanks for the series

[@donaldryder5534]

Yes to the 50 min full build!

[@ti0chema]

Frankenstein bikes are always fun! Have done few myself...can’t wait to se this one rolling!!!

[@AdamSmith-qb6zb]

Yes would love the full 50 minute build video

[@Simon_Says]

Definitely full length build up video! Can't wait to see it.

[@shapeshifterboogie9853]

Defo full length video. This is gonna be epic.

[@Fixingeverthingwithaengine567]

working together.That is perfect.See both sides of cycling is awsome.Thanks

[@mikedk13]

Love the idea of a full length video!!!

[@skidmark2903]

We all want a 50 minute or longer video but you should do it live!

[@Hambini]

I'm loving this!!!

[@benhuygh9086]

Of course we want to see you build it in 50 minutes !!!

[@LittleMissDesmo]

Heck yeah I wanna hear you do a full build up. Those are awesome!

[@delysecampbell4619]

Love these build videos. I'd like to see the full build in one episode. :)

[@johnpotter4555]

Got to be the full epic build version Jon. Please.

[@marcelr.9035]

Thank you Jon for all your videos, with your videos and other gcn videos I’ve learnt how to build bikes, including my last five bikes which I love riding

[@pbecker]

I'd absolutely love to watch a full length video of the build!

[@drrrw]

These experimental bike build videos is exactly like my bike. I'm torn from retaining my single speed converted mountain bike to a 1x gravel-ish. Cheerios! Gonna wait for the next episode.

[@Warrenator316]

Looking forward to a full length build

[@roryridesagain]

Jon, I vote for the full build video

[@tploszek]

Yes, we NEED you to hear for 50 minutes indeed!!

[@andyheilmann1656]

With no front derailleur you will need to attach a bottle opener!!!

[@tinman7551]

Andy Heilmann do you think he’ll do it for a Lauf ? 😂

[@thestripedpanther6608]

Or use SPD clips

[@grandad1982]

Full length, yes please.

[@catalinandro3913]

Yep, we want the full building video. Totally.

[@markmuniz4965]

Great show inspiring me to try something similar. Yes, please show the build as a full-length episode (50 mins+). Thanks!

[@JimsObsessiveCyclingDisorder]

I'd love to see the full length build video. Pleeeeeease.

[@Sucharith]

Yes. Would love to see the whole build. :)

[@garthly]

Full length video yes please. So the brake pull on the gear levers will match that required by the brakes?

[@matthewlewis2072]

I genuinely don't get this "pull" thing. Back in the day you just mixed and matched brakes and levers. Mind you, the brakes were terrible...

[@andystone5487]

Go for the 50 John! 👍

[@shaunfrost8938]

Go epic! Go epic - let’s see the full build

[@tomgilfedder3515]

Full length one take epic! 😀

[@Tomtamo1]

We need a full length build Jon!!!!

[@colinthompson5881]

Deffo full length film, suspect this will be a really fun bike 👍

[@hedleykerr3564]

Yes go with the full 50 min. bike build! Also use some eco friendly tape that you can take off and throw in the washing machine and reuse!

[@straight_edge]

Yes Jon!!! So good. Keen to see the assembly video! Also you forgot pedals: what clipless gems have you got hidden in your shed??? Also GCN team it's about time we got a feature length video of Jon's bike cave/shed/vault!

[@JonCannings]

Not letting those lot 'round my house!

[@straight_edge]

@@JonCannings hahaha! We're all just itching to see all the amazing bike things you've collected! At least the impression I have is that. Either way, I enjoy your enthusiasm, stories and knowledge about all things bike related.

[@matthewlewis2072]

@@JonCannings yeah, c'mon Jon. Or is your place like some old nutter's place, with stacks if old bike bits everywhere, and about 20 mangy cats?!?!!!

[@JonCannings]

@@matthewlewis2072 no cats.

[@mrazzo15]

This would be mighty useful. Just about to start on a similar project. Thanks Jon !

[@nickkent7164]

Love this. I recently converted a '98 Kona Kilauea to a drop bar adventure bike. Actually, did a '99 Hahanna at the same time for my son. I did use v brakes with road shifters with the clever Problem Solver Travel Agent adapter, addresses the different cable pull ratios. Found some disc mount Project 2 forks and run Avid BB7 Road discs on the front. Oh, and resprayed the bikes myself using the wonderful spraybike powder coat product Very pleased with builds.

[@velodjk2975]

Please do a sequel this fall where you add fenders/mudguards and a rack and create a budget commuter.

[@shallowdigger6761]

Mach 1 was called “Rayons Bernard “ (spokes Bernard) specialised in spokes and spokenipples😉

[@gcntech]

super, thanks! Jon

[@justinmbr5619]

Full video of course please. Wouldn't have it any other way 😁

[@stephenelliott-wright3230]

Full length build video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@raymondorozco3436]

YES FOR THE 50 Min build video

[@harrystephens1658]

Yes, 50 min. Like to see the complete build.

[@christopherpound7186]

Eagerly awaiting an uncut 50 minute build video!

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes! Love your choices so far 👍 although I've just changed the gearing on my mtb conversion to 42t (from 38t) and 11-40 (from 11-36) for a little extra zoom on gravel rides. Build highlights please...

[@amanitamuscaria5284]

Absolutely i would love full 50min build vid.

[@doufa1000]

full length, very detailed video please

[@fj400007]

Canti brakes ftw.... give that bike the stopping power it will need fully loaded. I really dig the crankset's setup, very clean and polished components looks amazing.

[@MauricioAlsinaLee]

Awesome! A full length video, please! I wanna do the same with an old steel bike I found.

[@csobering3108]

Looking forward to this one as I have a similar project waiting in my garage.

[@evangeloskapris9558]

Full length video for me :D

[@upsil0n02swalker]

Full length , oh yessy pleasy

[@gabe2252]

Full build!

[@mathiasklose4757]

I loved the full Length video

[@maksimloginov9365]

Eeeeeh ! Go on, full video ! 🎉🎉🎉😁

[@Quickhand]

First time I've ever heard of self-energizing cantis. Now I feel like I gotta get me some of those. Anyway, a detailed 50+ min. build video would be great! I'm genuinely courious how you're gonna fit a shadow tech derailleur on a traditional hanger...

[@matthewlewis2072]

The old fashioned steel hangers are the same, really, just all in one.

[@Quickhand]

​@@matthewlewis2072 Really? I'm relatively sure that Shadow tech requires a differently shaped (direct mount) hanger. Like this: forums.mtbr.com/attachments/canyon/1161455d1507496837-four-broken-derailleur-hangers-my-spectral-year-wtf-img_20171008_161150310.jpg

[@LawrenceSeetoh]

full length 50 min epic build please ! also get mismatch bar tape, preferably splash tape.

[@mitch_smith]

Go EPIC build John.

[@seakayaker20]

50 mins full build video defo! camo bar tape!

[@THEoldgreydude]

Full length build video gets my vote

[@jenks7243]

Go for the epic build, oh and some celeste bar tape!!!

[@magicknight8412]

Epic 50 minute deffo !

[@TheWaxChainFanClub]

You know what I'm going to say - feature length all the way!

[@andrewstorm514]

FULL LENGTH BUILD

[@erezra]

Full length build episode please!

[@darrengarvie8832]

A full how to build episode with every detail would be nice .

[@jess1ncase]

Epic 50 minute build please.

[@robinlloyd1197]

I have the same crank on my late Dads bike, the original was too ninety's! The bike hangs on a wall, having been sympathetically updated (completed changed). I polished the crank with a drill and mop and it looks properly expensive now, , maybe unnecessary on a gravel bike but if you have a spare an hour?

[@hovensteve]

Full length video period

[@poraktobask]

Yes, long build video please.

[@edrush7936]

Epic 50 minute build!!

[@pathurley86]

Do the full 50 minutes, great to watch the full build.

[@retromod7525]

The SunTour cantis can sometimes (depending on the frame) feel a bit underwhelming and this is a result of the brakes forcing some seat stay flex in the area of the brake boss. A booster is probably a good idea. Would prefer a 50min full build video for Part 3.

[@prestachuck2867]

Retro Mod Agreed. I think @joncannings would greatly benefit from installing brake boosters front and rear. They would not only improve braking performance, but they can prevent catastrophic frame or fork failure. #gcntech

[@mikevanier3119]

Yes full length 2 hour build video

[@markc17]

Yes please epic 50min build video

[@MrQbikwsg]

looking forward to seeing the 50min video😉

[@nickisauer9626]

Yes please do the full monty 50 min build up :-)

[@martinh2783]

I wish there was photage of Jon digging in his shed for loot for this project.

[@AndrewTiedeplus]

my only worry is that without a wide ranging rear cassette, that the 1x will feel like a real drawback. If you can get your hands on one, I'd urge you to use a 11-42t cassette

[@andrewdettmer700]

Cinelli cork bar tape in black/white zebra stripe if you want it

[@philadams9254]

Jon & Doddy in the same video? Nerd central!

[@MrChristiangraham]

Yes, SE brakes. I had a pair of those back in the day. They were great!

[@DanielDavisCO]

Full length please!

[@eloyanzola]

full lenght build video!

[@reginaldscot165]

That's funny, I just put the same tyres on my Gravel-ish steel bike.

[@ollietee5316]

Still waiting for Jon's shed tour!

[@nigelbest191]

Full length video please 👍

[@joerunswithbeer]

This series just became super interesting for me. My uncle went blind years ago and he just gifted me his ‘93 Trek Singletrack. I was thinking of converting it to a single speed MTB. This gravel conversion gives me some different ideas! PS - epic 50 minutes!
