Velo Orange Piolet Bike Build

Building a Velo Orange piolet in my back yard for riding party pace and the occasional bikepacking trip.

I'd love to see a one year in video in a couple of months. Your video sells this frame to me.

[@carloshernandez7874]

I might just do that!

[@Adroit1911]

I've seen hundreds of these bike build videos. Yours is the first time I've seen anyone use anti-seize, good on ya! It's an amazing product.

I also went with square taper for my Bombora built. BULLETPROOF! How do you like anti seize? I’ve only ever used parktool grease be it was available to me. Also pro tip for the grip install: if you have an air compressor, you’ll get em on in 3 seconds. That’s what we did at my shop instead of wet mounting them. Sick build though!

[@carloshernandez7874]

Good looking out! I have a compressor but by the time I find the air fitting and set it up I can also sweat a bit :) Anti seize works great for removing parts often but very messy and can stain clothes.

[@mstrshkbrnnn1999]

Technically, threads shouldn’t ever be greased bc grease can allow that item to be over tightened. Doesn’t seem to be common practice in the bike community vs the car community, but u did the right thing by using anti seize. In the bike community people seem to put grease on everything and I assume it’s bc it’s all they have on hand. In a pinch, grease will do what anti-seize does, but anti-seize is better than grease for providing corrosion protection in areas like threads, while grease should be reserved for pivots/moving parts

What's your height and size of the bike?
