I don’t know how to build a bike. I did it anyway.

It's a new bike day! And this time, I tried to build it on my own. The problem is that the main tool is a hammer, and I don't have any mechanical sympathy. Can I complete building my new bike? and is it safe to ride it after...?

Note to self.... dont watch this while at work without headphones.... People might get the wrong impression of what you may be watching.... lol.... 😅😅😅

[@VanGirlYuka]

I love it❤️

[@mtbboy3960]

I looked at the comments before watching and was confused by this until I got 15 seconds in

[@willienillie6337]

I had to turn the volume down a bit.

[@denisedolphinpark]

Yeah I defenitly see why now.. haha

[@LEGENDofBEANY]

😝😝😝😝😝 I’m watching this at work and out the gate gloryholes are mentioned 😝😝😊😅

[@MTBr-of-SoCal]

"Just cuz it's a hole, doesn't mean you put something in it..." LOOOOL!! I think I had coffee blowing out my nose laughing so suddenly.

[@drmoynihan]

The love between you and Eric is so sweet - and tangible. Thank you for sharing this fun but intimate time with us. ❤❤❤

[@tammyford2357]

I dont think “glory hole” is a bad word. But at first, I thought she said “girly hole” which had me cracking up. 😂😂😂 Congrats on the new bike!

[@Eric.V.]

That “spare parts” Ext shock just laying around 😎👍

[@ZFit11]

So many, “that’s what she said” moments. 😂😂😂😂 Love the new ride! Cheers from Santa Cruz! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@VanGirlYuka]

He likes it 😩 old man…

[@wiseabay199]

I always get bored with built videos (usually skip to the end only to check out the bike), but watching Yuka struggling was so entertaining!

[@ch007eh7]

That sounds wrong but I agree 😂.

[@fivetool]

That was awesome, Yuka. The perfect way to learn.....with someone to help when you run into trouble. :)

[@VanGirlYuka]

🤣

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

That’s such a awesome looking bike great video 👍😎

[@user-ck4ii9mj8i]

Nice work guys looking good thank you

[@janmaly1591]

This is probably the most relatable mtb content out there. Great job Yuka!

[@rasradders9708]

Glad to see you back. Enjoy your Christmas !

[@VanGirlYuka]

Happy Christmas to you as well 😉❤️

[@MTB_Rider_96]

Great video. As a bike builder myself, I love watching people build bikes and maybe learning new tricks of the trade. Some advice, Get A Press Tool! I made my own press fit tool for $5 from a few hardware store parts, it's really EZ. A threaded rod, some really big washers, duct tape, and some wrench you already have in your shop.

[@flowstateofmind]

I had expected at least one 'oiyokusho' when placing the tire 😂

[@JayRock907]

my (japanese) grandma used to say that all the time when she did anythng labor intensive, what does that mean?!

[@chrish8871]

That’s how one learns ! And it’s why we don’t seem to progress these days. Scared to go in the deep end 👍

[@rg9183]

You are inspiring Yuka!!!

[@zulfitrizulkarnainasnahzul7276]

what a nice Bike ... Yuka, I Thing you are an Amazing Woman ... 😄

[@Ceriva09]

great video. i recommend watching with headphones to avoid confused parents or wife walking by

[@VanGirlYuka]

A great idea 👍✨

[@doug.mitchell.106ID]

It's a LOT easier to set the headset top ring if you support the underside while suspended in a workstand. My old friend back in the day, a road wrench for Campy among other things, used an ever-so-fancy two-by four when assembling even the most expensive frames, from early Kleins like my Gen.1 Attitude and my original Rodriguez road frame. Just sayin'...

[@goofyahhproductions-do8tu]

WOW that looks supor nice! Cant wait to see it being ridden.

[@tygastfield613]

This video was SO funny!!! Your spirit is always so fun.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I’m happy to deliver to you one more smile 😋

[@andremartin5966]

Glory hole! Loll Great looking bike Yuka! Gotta love those wheels!

[@VanGirlYuka]

Those wheels are my favourite part of the bike ❤️

[@brendan1]

Was it just time for a change? Or do you prefer the Commencal over your Santa Cruz? Great video Yuka!

[@sans_2031]

Happy new bike day!! Lovely video

[@denisedolphinpark]

Omg the orange tabby is so cute 🤍🤍 and I’m sorry the “glory hole” 😭😂

[@HUKIT.]

Well done! Especially since it’s the first time anyone on planet earth referred to that as a glory hole!!

[@VanGirlYuka]

But it is! Maybe other people are so polite…😔

[@squeeshygaming]

love ur build vid.. very humorous

[@hansg4997]

You've been away too long! Glad to see you post again. Happy NBD!🤗

[@staceygarrison4979]

As a small person who has worked on bikes, I am always surprised how much force some of it requires, and sometimes I struggle to be strong enough. You really gotta giv'r sometimes

[@tatumthetater-tot9556]

I love Commencal! I saw that bike in Phil's video. Great to see another video!

[@Mathieu_CHRC]

This is one of the best "bike build video" I have ever seen. Thanks !

[@patrickgibbons8353]

Yuka,you are hilarious 🤪🥰👍

[@Pogo69]

Such a great bike. (We're the proud, relatively new, owners of a Meta SX V4). Bike build from scratch is way up the TODO list, so I always love videos like this.

[@bbfeign1]

Aha ha thats great 😄😄👋👋👋👋👋

[@trevoredensor7114]

Great to see you back Yuka...and the new bike 👍👍

[@bikeninja956]

I love this! Congrats! I was in a bit of a pissy mood this morning but I couldn't help chuckling while watching this, you're genuinely funny. You made my day. Can't wait to see the rig in action.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I’m honer to make your day a little happier😘✨ love my job!

[@psychonaut038]

It was fun to see you in Hellendoorn. 😁

[@DimitriosKanellopoulos]

Got the same bike. Its great believe me. This video reminded me, when you just switched the cranks from the old one

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

Bearing press is a good investment and pretty cheap lol…nice new bike!

[@Pogo69]

I made myself a DIY bearing press (threaded rod, washers and bolts). But found it really hard to get headset to press in, flush. Ended up just bashing it in with a rubber mallet, which worked like a charm. 🤣🤷

[@dadlife8289]

Very nice new bike!

[@TheAllEngineering]

I like your new bike better than your old bike, great choice !!!

[@Shreddator04]

When you said gloryhole, it was an epic priceless innocent face. 😁

[@davisjl1979]

Welcome to club COMMENCAL!

[@Leo_Inclan]

Commencal does make beautiful frames.

[@ridingwithreggie]

Awesome bike build Yuka!!!

[@scottdesmond6123]

Yuka is so cute ❤

[@BrettWidner]

I've got the ebike version of this exact bike. Same Champagne color and all. Been loving it for 2 years now! I'm sure you'll dig the Meta SX!

[@mybikes1970]

Hottest bike build ever 🔥!!!

[@Dreamlink91]

This is the first video of yours i watch and for some reason i am getting "moist" vibes, and lubed bike feels. wtf

[@Mr229357]

Well done, nice bike 😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@jonibz1456]

If you have a torque wrench, probably best use it on everything :) cool looking bike

[@VanGirlYuka]

I’m still scared of a torque wrench…🥲

[@mbal4052]

Aw great to see you again Yuka, missed you loads! Love the new bike 😊

[@GranatowyGranat]

This will probably be my favorite movie. Dirty conversations while assembling the bike, this has never happened before 😅

[@VanGirlYuka]

I don’t understand. All what we said was dirty talk while building my bike…

[@drmoynihan]

Just a little naughty conversation between friends and lovers. ❤😮😊

[@Charliezfabrykiczekolady]

Commencal… great bike 🔥 🖤 Congrats Yuka!

[@ges_del]

素敵なニューバイクですね。ホイールもクール！ 昔コメンサルのXCフレーム使ってました。まだ26インチの時代でした。

[@VanGirlYuka]

26インチでトレイルを走ったことはまだないです。めっちゃOTBしそうですね😭

[@richr7604]

Great job Yuka! And that's a cool new bike, dig the wheels. Thanks for another entertaining video..

[@quepala]

Great to get a video from you guys, was thinking you left KZbin.

[@cmouse_2]

OMG those wheels 😍 loving the oil slick😁

[@VanGirlYuka]

Me too 😍

[@gani22sgr]

Yuka is hilarious :D

[@Petermcpete]

Lovely new bike Yuka. Look forward to seeing you both riding soon. OMG "Glory Hole!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Sonic0988]

Very cool!

[@SingleTrackMind207]

You definitely earned those points! I’ve never fit a tire without tire levers!

[@MrThegixerman]

Hope you and Eric have a great Christmas yuka 🎉

[@VanGirlYuka]

This year we will do it in Japanese way! Which is KFC🤣✨

[@helious74]

Love your videos. I’ve just rebuilt a an older bike. A Intense Spider 29A. It had SRAM XX1 eagle 11 speed drive. And only needed a chain but the current fork and rear shock could no longer be serviced. So I replaced the fork with a Fox factory 34 130mm fork and factory float rear. The Spider looks great after the refresh.

[@SayNoToWW3]

Yuka, need to post more often :)

[@brianbrown1127]

Love you Yuka

[@legacyautofocus]

Me too, but ground up. I totally messed up my derailleur, as in it needs a pro to tune, i cant get it, even with parktools videos.. and i have slow leaks in my rim tape. Plus the amount of specialty tools I did not already have.

[@dougrodriguez4977]

Hilarious, beautiful wheels, nice bike. Happy new bike day !!!!

[@mbandstuff4688]

Sick bike!

[@mitchellthompson3507]

Good too see girls on the job

[@potpotadventure]

nice to see you bout ride safe always guys 💓

[@nimbuscycles2354]

I have done pretty much everything she did at one point hahaha, love it

[@BikeLife4Me]

I like watching Yuka A LOT.

[@Milkshakes-Den]

I was looking for bike setup videos to see what to adjust n my mtb. This is so funny!

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

Gotta love YUKA!!!

[@elisa7357]

It was so lovely seeing you two being up to no good 😂 ❤

[@stumpy25lbs]

I love your videos Yuka! They're heart warming 🥰🙏🏼

[@BeneTyVLOGS]

Finally a new video ❤️ 🤙

[@tomassanesson902]

So awesome bike build good luck💪🤙🤙🤙

[@NGHTYGIRL]

Those wheels are beautiful 😍

[@jean-marcvienne]

Congrats

[@djiembefolaDan]

I love videos with Yuka !!

[@hans-peterschmitz4045]

Hammer Time.💪😄

[@johneville_bastard]

This was highly entertaining 🤣

[@manabiker]

When the bike is on the stand and you hammer on it, it moves(wiggles) taking with it the power of your hammering stroke, put the frame on the floor, it will be much easier to hammer the parts in, or out, placing any parts you need to hammer are easier if the part is placed on something solid, not moving, so the force will be with you, not against you .. ;) !! Happy Trails

[@santiagobenites]

Just because there's a hole doesn't mean that you put something in it. I wish that someone had of mentioned that a long time ago! You two are like a comedy duo! Nice bike, btw!!! 😆😂😁

[@bermchasin]

hey! we just got a new commencal too! awesome build!

[@bermchasin]

lmao glory hole

[@VanGirlYuka]

Very nice!

[@NorCalChupacabra]

Good job Yuka ! :-) Happy holidays.

[@ranpy8]

So awesome! Love it!

[@jeffnicholson4590]

Best bike build video EVER!!!!! Thanks for the laugh, so good!

[@cmfocusproductions2147]

She exist!!! Hi Yuka!

[@VanGirlYuka]

I’m still alive 😇

[@MTB_Sendsei]

This bike build is definitely a fun one to watch. Sounds like you built up more than just the bike. Thank you for the laughs. It is great to see women wrenching on their trusted steeds. Hope this bike brings you many more smiley miles of fun between your legs.

[@brianpenrose7927]

Love it! Laughing my butt off. You two are great

[@myroncunningham9042]

You guys are awesome...

[@dems_mtb]

Awesome! Well done!

[@bikesandbeans]

Always awesome videos by the tag team!

[@MTB_Rider_96]

Yikes! Get a bearing press! I made one for $5.00 out of a threaded rod, very large washers and a coupe of bolts.

[@VanGirlYuka]

That’s a good idea! We should try it next time✨

[@Pogo69]

As per my comment further up, I tried that. Found it really difficult to press in the headset, flush. But the rubber mallet worked like a charm. 🤷

[@1sir-onworld]

I loved this video you guys were very funny 😂 i enjoy watching love the new bike 🤘

[@ingotaraske6996]

Building your own bike is awesome. Sometimes more expensive, since not all parts might fit, but you seldomly need help to fix bikes anymore afterwards, except for complicated stuff like suspension service at least.

[@rtabike]

コメンサルかっこいい！ 走ってる動画が楽しみです！

[@ToddNZMTB]

So much innuenduro 😳
