If you're looking for a slightly cushier wrap job, I've had success wrapping a layer of older bike tubes underneath the newbaums tape. Comfy and eco friendly! And you still get to feel the road a little bit. You could slice the tube open lengthwise or just use it as is for even more support and a larger diameter. My only disclaimer there is that once the tape wears through, if you're too lazy to rewrap (like me), then you start to get black tube compound on your hands. Alternatively, the Riv style would be to throw a layer of felted wool beneath the newbaums tape.

You could try using a Schrader to presta convertor. It's a small metal cylinder that sits in the valve hole. It makes the diameter of the valve hole smaller so that a presta valve fits into a rim meant for Schrader.

Awesome video, I love your channel. Started watching your vids a few weeks ago, I learn so much. Only started tinkering with bikes a few years ago and did my first build just under a year ago (2011 surly cross check). Since then I've been working on a couple more bikes (1997 brodie quantum and a 1985 schwinn super le tour). I don't have access to many parts and its really slow going finding parts online and at reasonable prices. Anyways keep up the good work, I'm sure to incorporate what I've learned from you in all my future bike builds and restoration attempts. Cheers.

I put drop handlebars and these Shimano 600 touring shifters on my MTB, which slotted at the end of the handlebars, this was pre- Brake/ shifter combos, this was in the early 90's when I was pretty unique on any ride/ race with my dropped roadie handlebars which would now be commonplace, I had similar and other issues with my back wheel, I got so frustrated I bought a brand new one which I knew would have no problem

Boy I want those campy wheels

You could have swapped a bolt now and then... like the rear derailleur. And, should do the test ride before applying the tape, so you can still move the brake levers a bit, if you wish. But great video. Nice bike!

💙💙💙

This type of "moustache" bars made me think about restoring my very old Mongoose Switchback ATB. It has a bit to long frame/geometry for me(though I was commuting 2 years with it), and I couldn't find a way to compensate that with very short stem(it make maneuvering awkward) or some kind of riser or city bike bar(I don't like grip at their angles). This type of bar has a grip similar to drop bar(that I like the most) but goes backwards so it could compensate long frame... Will need to find some cheaper one than Nitto though, haha.

Presta valve tubes come with a screw on washer-bolt. Try using two of them and sandwich the rim (put one on the tube and tighten it all the way down before installing the tube).

Thanks for nice video and perfect bike after your restoration. I always use very fat oil (synthetic if you have) on the pivots brakes - they works much better than on the grease. I dont know that do you use oil on the thread on the bolts - IMO it helps and avoid damage the thread. Furthermore always where steel connect to the aluminium I seperate this two kind of metal by nice grease (steel bolt - alu stem, seatpost- frame, crank - axle of support). All the Best, Michał.

Could you measure the Q factor of those M730 cranks? I've wondered about getting a pair to turn into a 1x crankset, with a shorter BB spindle, and mounting the ring on the outside. I've done that with another triple crank but just don't know if it's "worth it" to buy a crank specifically for this if it'll still be pretty wide... Great video as always, and a fun build!
