Watching this video made me cry and have heart ache as a bicycle enthusiast, such brute way to assemble a bicycle

[@dxdxdxdxdxd7125]

its do or die for those workers, also with that volume and price on these bikes you kinda know what are you paying for, otherwise you would opt for a semicustom or custom built bike or even build one on your own

[@user-ke9yk5qp3u]

Meanwhile that low cost certainly attracts plenty of buyers in America as they are all sold. Custom bikes that are five times the price sit around much longer.

[@robertdewar1752]

@@user-ke9yk5qp3u By definition a custom bike is made to order. So you could argue, they don't sit around at all. In fact i'd go as far to say the reverse is true, low cost bikes sit around longer than custom rigs.

[@dxdxdxdxdxd7125]

@@user-ke9yk5qp3u custom builds are made to order, they do not seat around, more expensive serial bikes(Canyons, Nukeproofs) are selling out quickly almost everywhere, i've looked for one not so long ago, until you get to above 5-6k euros or below 1k euros in price you start to see some stock. Also have luck trying to find some better framesets not out of stock . And thats all while you can come to your local bazaar and see the loads and loads of cheap chineesium bikes, the 'quality' finishes on some can even start bubbling from prolongued exposition to the sun on the open air. how many kilometers you think youl'l ride on that bike?

That wheel truing/ tensioning machine was amazing, I could watch that all day

[@KuyaErickEMP]

Watching this video

[@yoohoo909]

i built bikes for customers for years. Nearly all the famous name brands have been built there for decades. Extremely rare for anything to come out of the box wrong especially considering the volume. Only thing is i feel for these men and women and the repetetive injury problems that will soon follow.

[@waynecremlock]

I feel almost every bike has an issue out of the box, just different problems with high end vs low end. High end will have misaligned brake mounts and bottom brackets. On lower end bikes, the wheels always appreciate attention. The hubs are usually over torqued and minimally greased and roll so much better when adjusted properly. The use of power tools vs hand makes a difference. On quill stems, many times they are over torqued and the tabbed washer is on the threads of the fork.

[@yoohoo909]

Quill stems are generally from less expensive fixies. A bike assembled in the shop always gets both wheels spun and time on a truing stand regardless of cost. Unless something has happened in the last few years, the QC of name brands has still been very good. And with a retail shop there is usually a 30 day check to tighten everything after use. Strangely enough, the issues are generally in Carbon fiber bikes for creaking noises. Agree w you on the hubs though.

[@jimksa67]

Yeah look at India and Pakistan

[@edwinjoe5598]

[@curtisducati]

No wonder all the threads are destroyed with power tools, and on a rear mech OMG ....

[@axelthorfilms]

This is a good company. They actually grease the bearings.

[@noseraph]

The only grease I saw was on the bottom bracket threads, but the bearings look pretty dry and I didn't see him grease those. I also didn't see any grease on the headset bearings.

[@slavnyan1152]

The whole assembly looks great and solid. It doesn't change the fact that all the components are extremely low quality and will quickly make all of us mechanics cry, because customers don't understand they just bought a shit bike

[@chrisfanning5842]

Every single thread apart from one bottom bracket cup was bone dry. When the customer brings in their shit bike, all the threads are seized and you round the cheap chinesium soft-steel bolt heads or the bolt heads themselves just shear off.

[@albertocruz3785]

😬

[@BoomZhakalaka]

That wheel alignment in end of the video is amazing..

[@noseraph]

This is the bike building equivalent of an industrial kitchen - no art or passion, just pure utility. These are mass-produced bikes, so they are built to generous tolerances as they are not designed to be serviced and need to keep functioning after frequent neglect and abuse. The MTB-style fork is probably more cosmetic than functional. Fasteners don't need lube as they aren't intended to be removed. No one is proud to own one of these bikes, and no one is proud to have assembled it. It is an expendable tool.

[@peterjv8748]

Yeah, a depressing video for sure. smh

I am pretty sure there is a kid out there who is very proud to own one of these…maybe a long awaited birthday gift…

[@Aniqa101]

These pneumatic screwdrivers (however these are called) have a built in torque gauge, just like in F1 or GT racing.

[@DilbertMuc]

Now I guess once the bike has arrived at home it is time to unscrew all screws and bolts, grease them properly and tighten them with a good torque wrench.

[@arbjful]

The LBS would probably do that, and then again maybe a father could do that too for his kid

mass market bikes are pretty good if you're gonna use a bike for a trundle about on a nice day, even good enough for a forestry trail or two. However, if you want racing geometry, better material controls, nicer welds, better components, ALL of which give you a much more reliable machine, and this goes for ALL things that are manufactured. I was gifted a brand new Kona Abra cadabra in 2010 by my then fiance, apart from the SLX front shifter and brakes, which I upgraded to XT and XTR respectively, and on the day it arrived in the bike shop that I used to work in,.... so got a nice wee discount for myself too (well fiance anyway... she was delighted she paid much less for it, as I was in receiving it) it has lasted me, I still have today, 13 years old, up until 2021 I was out on it every week, a couple of punctures, some brake pads, new handlebar grips, and new pedals, a chain and cassette, a handful of fork and shock service kits that I performed myself, thats it, these things ive just mentioned, replaced only once, and this is beyond reliable, no bleeding of brakes or anything thanks to the reliability of XTR kit.... if you're out mountain biking, you're gonna crash now and then and you're gonna need to replace your chain and cassette now and then from wear and tear, which is waaaay cheaper than one of these bikes. so for 2.5 grand spread over 13 years and this includes the cost of the replacements and servicing kits = less than £200 per year.... for a bike you CAN actually go proper mountain biking with.
