I'm always looking out for the OZ Cycle videos more than others!!

Just want to thank you for your videos on the Yoeleo 12 just bought one and got it about a week ago my first enigma was where is the top race for the front fork had no idea it was the C looking spacer acts as a race. You are a god send to me. Will be studying your sight to get this bike together. All my bike till now were early late 80's and 90's bikes steel frame Italian.

Excellent! Perfect description. We all need this information...

Great video. The bike looks awesome with those wheels and bars.

Before cutting the steerer tube and running cables internally, I like to do a quick build with external cables and uncut steerer. Then I can ride an hour or two on the rollers to be sure everything is right before committing to the steerer length and re-running everything internally.

Just found this channel, absolutely 1st class 👍

Great video, full of info. Definitely made me thing twice before getting Intergrated bars.

Excellent video, I do think the designers/manufacturers have made a mistake with this one. Yes it looks very neat, but there are thousands of older cyclists who have less flexibility so prefer a more relaxed style and that is where bikes with conventional stems come in helpful with the option of being able to swap and change to get the right degree rise for best comfort, but that is impossible with this integrated stem so I think sales will be reduced.

Good day: PERFECT that exactly what I was waiting for: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Agreed, have been eyeing these bars off but was nervous about their stiffness. Good to see they're not a wet noodle like those last ones you reviewed.

Love how practical your videos are. Small thing, it is 'flare' not 'flair'.

when I measure reach most times I measure to the hoods of the shifter. as the reach of the bar can varry when transfering from bike to bike

I'm never going to get integrated bar/stem but I was curious how they work.

Great video 👍👍

Always a good tip to use a ceramic tile blade (or carbon fibre blade but $$$) for steerer cutting, clean finish and reduces fraying (Y)

Nice video! Hopefully the internal routing video is out by the time I get my R12 frame and start building.

Just came up on your channel... Nice

Great content

IMO, the best part of integrated bar/stems is the fact that the bar cannot slip. I once had my carbon bar slip from the stem when I hit a pothole at an intersection. I almost ended up under a car, because my bar was now facing downwards, and almost impossible to operate. I barely managed to stop the bike safely to adjust/tighten it.

The compression plugs should be long enough to go past the top bearing. That's where they snap so you'd get a bit of a second chance if the plug was hanging on inside. They don't seem to do it though.

You shouldn’t grease the bolts because it reduces friction. Therefore you need a higher force than the recommended Nm to get them safely secured. And to much force may damage the threat and the material.

To obtain correct torque threads need to be lubricated

@MonMalthias

3 жыл бұрын

You can actually get closer to "true" torque with greased threads: www.reliabilitysolutions.net/single-post/2015/09/21/Why-do-we-Lubricate-Threaded-Fasteners When torquing down a fastener, a lot of the work is actually done to overcome friction between the threads of the bolt and the nut. But that also means that you can overload a bolt (or undertorque) if, say, some of the threads are not cut correctly or there was a dent on one fastener. Greasing the threads gets you more consistent torques, more of the time. Having said that, you should do whatever is specified by the manufacturer, not just whatever is "common practice." Manufacturers specify how things should be torqued down - be they with grease, dry, with threadlocker, or otherwise. If the factory says do them up dry, do so.

Very bad experience for me with Yoeleo. I ordered the R11. After 3 and a half months, they tell me that my frame is finally in paint and 10 days later, Yoeleo tells me that they no longer have... the frame in stock in my size.

I don't mind the hidden look but i prefer the adjustable tilt of a two piece.

Integrated bars are annoying to change cables. And they tend to bend pretty tightly. I would probably go back to a normal seperate alloy bar and stem combo once I crash lol

Built up a an araya wheelset with araya rc 540 rims, DT swiss 2.0 1.8 2.0 Double butted, laced to Ultegra 6500 hubs 14 gauge spoke nipples. Big problem, the rim has lateral distortion to the side of each of the eyelets - the distortion isn't at the eyelets it's at the braking surface as if it is jittery when braking - I have close to perfect equal tension throughout. Rebuilt it again with using oil on threads and eyelet holes still same result. Gotta be over tensioned spokes causing the distortion right? I've got an average of 160 Kilograms of force on the spokes, should I reduce the tension to 117 kgf? There is no cracking of the rim, and when I de-laced it the destortion went away but when I retensioned it again it got distorted again. Could I have permanently distorted the rim? Can you give advice on this?

Sadly, those that started riding in the 2020s will lust over it because that's what they usually see on bikes these days. Any other configuration, they call it external routing, even for bikes like the TCR Advanced, just because they can see brake and shift lines outside. (I hate the way they call it) I say they're naively wrong about this. If they want to talk about external routing, they should look at 20th-century road bikes. Bikes like the TCR Advanced still run internal routing as the shift and brake lines still enter the frame and fork at some point.

The worst thing I see on integrated cockpit cable routing is people using cheap/generic cables. Spend the extra money and get really quality cables, like Shimano's Dura-Ace polymer cables. Not only will will it feel a lot better from less friction with all those tight bends, it'll last a lot longer before having to redo the very time arduous (and expensive if you pay a shop) process of re-cabling the bike.
