If only changing the pads in them was as easy. It always requires some tweezers to put them in place, and the spring is finicky.

This one made me smile. My main ride is a steel 2013 Kona Unit SS. That's my "forever" bike. I bet this Jamis is a blast to ride. Awesome build.

Great video, single speed is so rewarding there is no filter between you and the trail and the focus you need to maintain momentum and avoid the speed humps. I use to enjoy it.👍

That’s a good looking bike. Looks like a fun ride. Nice work!

Super satisfying painting details instead of put stickers. It must be super light and reacting bike!

Old steel Jamis' are underrated

Very well done sir!! I’m almost finished with my Surly rat ride that I’ve been riding since 2000. Complete rebuild, but now I wish I had spent more time on the frame. Still looks awesome and rides like a dream!

Wonderful build. Love the tenacity, oldshovel.

Very nice! Love the riding footage. I had that same fork on my Superfly Single Speed until recently. My steel hardtail is a Karate Monkey.

I have an alluminuum frame commuter with 1x11 full rigid, and now im building one with steel frame and singlespeed, you give a lot of ideas with your videos, thanks to you and your videos i found my hobby

Wonderful.

Very cool bike.👀👏

Great build, as always. May I ask why you didn't grease the chainring bolts? Can't they freeze up? How do you like the new trails? They look gorgeous. Congrats on still having the (pale spring) knees for ss!

Great looking bike and superb work as always. Those fork seals look toast though.. there was so much smeared garbage on the stanchions during your beauty shots at the end. I'm sure a seal and service kit is cheap enough though. Might as well do a rebuild since you did that slick paint job on them.

Would love to take a single speed like this on some technical skills lines.

Your work is very impressive! I am in the process of restoring/building a 90's Giant Cadex (yes, the carbon/aluminum ones). I'd like to add some custom graphics. Can you tell me what your source for sticker/stencils is? Do they do custom jobs? Thanks!

Could you share what size handlebar stem you used here? Please.

simple uncomplicated and fun

Help me understand why you set the brake cable tension the way you did. I get it with v brakes ke cantis, but the BB7 has a “backstop” that holds the actuator in place. And you can dial in the exact tension with the pad adjusters. So what am I missing? Great video/build as always. Thanks for making it.

This one will likely need one. I wasn’t sure until I had it built up. It’s working well but from the first ride it looks like it needs a bit.

I just bought a 2007 Jamis Exile 26" SS! Do you know the tire clearance on these frames?

Another fantastic job, great bike 👍 One question though? Why in the US do you have the brake levers the opposite way round to the rest of the world??

@oldshovel

Жыл бұрын

My understanding is it is related to the traffic laws so if you’re from a country where you drive on the left side of the street your front brake is on the right and if you’re laws require driving on the right your front brake is on the left.

Que costará una bici así ?

Great job ,I had a single speed ,till I got to old

I have an old 90 Cannondale I’m trying to give new life to. I have stripped down to the aluminum and am waiting for my primer and paint to arrive. My question is what is the best way from everyone’s experience to duplicate the decals for the bike frames? My daughter had a nice Cricket machine. I wonder if I can use that? I’ll check your playlist! Your channel has been a great inspiration! Thanks!

Oldshovel used to to do it that way but I think they start pealing off rather quickly. Now he uses them as patterns and paints the decals on.

@oldshovel yeah, been on SS for several years now. Prolly since 2016 or so?

This bike was really easy to assemble kzread.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

What do you think of converting a modern 3X10 cross country MTB to a single speed? Can it be good or should I not bother with it?

Its not so modern, but I converted my 2002 MTB to SS, but kept two chain rings on the front (36T and 22T), with a 22T cog, and added a chain tensioner. I can manually change the speeds for the big climbs. Its my favorite bike by far. V-brakes and all!

Everything is perfect, as usual, except for the mechanical disk brakes. Just get the hydrologic!

There is something about singlespeed bikes, even tho they have their disadvantages too. But having only brakes on your bars and only thing that you care about are your hands and soles touching the bike, no buttons or levers, nothing. You know what Im talking about… its that Bmx-iness of it.😅
