Ti On One Hardtail BBS HD Build - Complete

[Driverwanted]

I say done … waiting for my thomson seatpost collar to arrive on Friday but the rest is 100% ! Test drive tomorrow can’t wait !

Awwww so heart broken… brought the bike up this am from my workshop in the basement for its maiden voyage and the rear brake leaver is tight as hell , if I squeeze it hard it locks the back wheel , took off the wheel and pushed in the pistons , put it back on , leaver is stil mega tight.

It worked fine last night now is crazy - how would this happen , I could see them getting spongier with something in the fluid but tighter ??

They are deore xt m8120’s

Thoughts ?

 

[mikeschn]

Two thoughts come to mind...

1) There is a burr on one of the pistons?
2) You got something in there like sand or a metal chip that's binding up?

I've never had to deal with anything like that before... Let me know what you find!

the motor has shifted pinching the line.... replaced line - all better - but ran it over top of the bottom bracket to be safe ... still a little noise from the BB area while riding , but its way better than the last bike. 40k so far on it , just getting broken in.

 

[mikeschn]

That makes sense!

It all needs to go over. Electrical under will cause a welding spark making a hole in the frame while frying the controller. Please do not pry into how I know this. Like a tattoo or nose ring, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Use a stabilizer.

Use a stabilizer.

Definately use a stabilizer, california ebike has a few options.

You build is pretty vague, we would appreciate more details...the more the better

Sorry - i'm not getting what you are talking about - the brake line goes over the bottom bracket - the electrical doesn't.... ? is that what you mean ?

My builds typically look more like these examples. Thanks. Those Vida's are zip tie free. Zoom in to see the routing.

I love your klunker build. But where are the disc brakes? Ha!

Very clean looking builds.

 

[PedalUma]

I gotta show just one more from two or three weeks ago. Check out the lax geo and clean wires. This is a fun bike. I promise no more after this on this thread. I told it that it has 12.5 inch wheels, so it better keep up. Zoom the final pic. at the downtube. Look mom, now wires!

 

[Driverwanted]

super clean installs!!

I thought this thread was about @Driverwanted 's build?

Maybe start your own thread to spam your builds, it's become a habit for you and derails users threads.

What does your bike look like?

 

[Surly]

As it goes, my winter bike which i use for bikejoring with my Malamute is similar to the build @Driverwanted has done.

It's been hammered for the past 8 months.

Or did you mean the CF build?

I should add, that paint job on the HT is about to be retired, when the E06 is done the HT will be stripped and repainted ready for winter.
