Competing On The Bike I Built In My Garage! | Racing Enduro On The CRAB

Спорт

In the Blake Builds GMBN series, Blake Samson built a do-it-all hardtail mountain bike frame in his garage from scratch! The bike's first ride on dirt just had to be an epic bike-packing ride, but this time we wanted to be a little more adventurous. This time had to be a local Enduro race!

    very impressive, I've done enough welding to know that wasn't as easy as people may think. loving the patina that the Crab is acquiring, needs a little more before clearcoating it to lock that in nicely.. Definitely make a full sus bike, I'll look forward to that.

    Can we just appreciate that Blake high sided earlier in the week, smacked a tree with the same shoulder and still raced "The Crab" and finished in the top 30% of the racers. The guy is an absolute legend. I say yes to a full suspension bike Blake but really set up your jigs well for alignment and practice your welding. A Blake's Builds dual suspension is just what we need, you can try it out against Neil's budget down hill bike and compare how it rides. Actually it would be interesting to compare it with Rich's XC bike too. Martyn could set the challenges, Doddy and Anna can talk about your tech on the bike, it could be fun for everyone.

    It's insane that you didn't fly off the bike while you were concerned for the crab the whole time, not to mention that you kept up with other riders using your fairly jank bike XD. Amazing job and i'm glad to see that you're in one piece! Try to find a jig to keep the hub's holes aligned next time and keep an eye out if you do build a full suspension bike.

I recommend it to anyone who loves bikes and loves tinkering. 👍
