Totally waiting for your dissertation on why the Charge Spoon is the best saddle

Perfect for buying baguettes in bulk. ❤️

That last bike was just right in my wheelhouse. I like your channel, and lovin all you do .. cheers meng!

Ooh.. just what I've been looking for. Haven't heard of Manivelle before, so, many thanks for that. :)

Brother, this is a great wee breakdown of an item and please def do more like this! The Builds are one thing, but knowing "why" a certain part/brand is interesting.

I quite like your musical selections in your videos. This one in particular is brilliant. Cheers.

Bought my first charge spoon my first restomod build thanks to your channel :)

I‘ve got that basket too. It has really good quality. ❤

Very nice bike (and basket) 👍

I would love to hear about the Charge Spoon! You have me wanting one just because you put it on every build.

I'm going to see QOTSA next Wednesday. Exciteeed!

Adjustable legs are a nice touch.

I saw Queens in September here in Indianapolis, such a sick show. Salute!

And we rode our bikes to the show.

A basket is by far the best was to carry stuff on a bike. I usually put a couple cargonets on mine that just stay with them all the time. With that setup youre always ready to carry almost anything.

Congrats on the 10k, i went to see QOTSA in Rockhal which hosts 6500 people, couldn’t use that for a meetup now.

I love the Charge Spoon, 2 of the 3 bikes have spoons. But to be honest there isn't much to say about a well-priced Saddle that has plenty of style options

I would buy tickets for your show at the O2 Arena. You on stage, building a bike and QOTSA as the opening act 🤟😉

Damn you! I didn’t have to install a heavy and expensive Pelago rack. They are an excellent rack for classic mountain bike forks if you get a chance to review!

ok I suscribed now jeje. thanks and successful for you.

Please review their bag! Im so interested in that bag :)

Great video. Need to make a nice rack sticker 👍

Well this is a genius idea 💡 😂😂

I like how they give you better options for mounting the lower part with the two hole bracket at the end. Most of the front racks/baskets I have used only have the bigger hole for nutted axles.

Hey do you think you could do a video on read cassettes and how big or what kinds are compatible with the retro stuff?

STX brake pads I just noticed on my bike has the front and rear.. and they aren't on the corresponding front or rear. OEM 96 Rocky Mountain. I don't think I want to correct it. I just fitted a rear rack last night and switched to a more winter suitable Michelin Country & Rock 26x1.75.

I was literally just about to subscribe but queen's of the stone age, I just don't know now 🤣😂🤣

I have Nitto/Wald on my old Stumpjumper, looking for basket set up for old Bridgestone. This is sold out😢. I’ll keep checking. Thanks.

😍😍😍😍

Well I gotta say...The basket itself seems to be a more robust/heavier gauge than Wald. The mounting system seems a bit simpler, more straight forward. Wald hasn't changed since the Jurassic because they just plain work. Even so, it might be time to step up. This is competition.

I have the 137 or 139 (but bigger one) on my 93 Bridgestone MB-3. Pretty great. I wonder how it holds up as well as it does.

❤❤❤❤

Cool fork! where did you buy it ?

Speaking of curling the 'stache out again, what wax do you use, I'm not finding a good one. Too hard, too soft...

Did you have to get a longer straddle cable for the front canties?

I did. Completely forgot to mention that. Usually I’d drill the bracket but as it was very nice and new couldn’t bring myself to it haha

I should have asked this on the original build video. How well do the front canti brakes work? I've always subscribed to the 90 degree method of the straddle cable but as is the case with this build it wouldn't work. I'm always open to new ideas since I'm just a 'backyard mechanic'.

Drill a hole in the mounting bracket, add a brake adjusting screw, run full length cable housing to the bracket, install the canti triangle underneath it if high enough. With this mounting bracket maybe not possible because of the ~45° angle

@marijntbh

The bigger the angle is the more braking power in the brakes so for example 120° would give more stoppingpower then 90° wich is also why on a lot of canti brakes the part where the cable mounts pokes out quitte a bit to the side wich naturally increases the angle

is it not bad for handling/steering if there is a heavy load in front....i thought rear racks/panniers/baskets are better...and front tray is just becoming a fad...im not an expert, its just my thought 😁

I'm french and that's ok. But how is it possible that i don't know that basket exist until this video ? And i'm looking for a good one for years.
