Dream Build MTB | Custom Ragley Big AL Hardcore Hardtail Build | ASMR

Спорт

Bike Dream Build MTB. I did this custom Ragley Big AL Hardtail build at the request of a family member. This is one of my favorite hardcore hardtail frames. I filmed the build as an homage to one of my favorite channels Gee Milner aka Dream Build. I find these ASMR videos to be very relaxing and satisfying to watch. In fact the first real edit on this channel was a similar video. If you haven't watched Gee Milner, check it out.

    Thank you! Both are great bikes. The MMMBOP is a bit slacker and more descent focused. It would be more playful being a 27.5. Also, it might be a better fit at your height but that is a matter of personal preference and skillset. The Big AL is more of an all round design. It will climb and descend well but will be less nimble. The 29in wheels will roll over obstacles better.

    Just wondering, did you use a brake mount on the rear due to a larger rotor? I'm just using a 180mm. Great vid mate, you made it look smooth, don't know if I'll have that much luck. Just about to start building mine, can't wait!

    You'll definitely need a 160mm/180mm adapter to fit the larger rotor. They are pretty inexpensive. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take your time with the build. Measure twice cut once and google if your not sure about something. Nothing better than riding a bike you built yourself.
