SRAM FORCE leading the way, we all need to catch up

We take a closer look at the huge array of choices available from SRAM when it comes to building your dream road, gravel or mountain bike. We ask, why we still buy off the peg bikes, when the is such an abundance of choice.

In this video we feature:
@look_cycle 765 Optimum, (not mine this time)
TIME ADHX
@WeraToolRebels Torque Wrenches.
@Hambini Bottom Bracket installation
@ffwdwheels Ryot 44

SRAM seem to be the groupset company with the most well thought-out product lines, the most clear compatability, and are give customers what they want. I really appreciate that.

I genuinely think you are the best bike mechanic on YouTube. When I am watching your videos I always learn something that I would have a hard time finding anywhere else on the internet. Yourself, Peak torque, hambini, Dylan Johnson, China cycling are the channels to be when I comes to worth while bike knowledge. I know I commented last week on the 10k post but keep up the great work. This channel is going to explode in the next few years. I could see it surpassing 100k subscribers.

I would prefer to ride shimano myself, but having just built an etap bike for a friend, SRAM is BLISS for home mechanics. everything is so clear, so intuitive. very mechanic friendly compared to the many details that frustrate me installing shimano

[youling]

SRAM's documentation is the best I have ever seen as a home mechanic. While Giant does not even provide any bike-specific documentation for my bike.

Nice video. I'm just about to get a sram force group set to hopefully make things a tad easier on my hands in ultra races. Found my mechanical groupset isn't good for the nerves in my hands, especially on the front mech shift.

Just one word EXCELLENCE .no other word needed.

[gerardgh]

Thanks for the awesome video great so informative you're one the best out there..

Looks like a really nice build Paul, lots of options.
The shifters have the same adjustments as Campag Record/Super Record now which has 11-34 but lacks some of the other options.
The new owner should be a happy chappy soon.

16:24 OMG, I left this video running in the background and went to FFWD to see what's new in their outlet section for my VITUS EVO but nothing rim brake so looked at normal priced wheels and seen these RYOTS and as I went looking for what Shimano is doing I heard you mentioned the Dutch wheels for my VITUS it is !!! A sign from above

[LakeDistrictcyclist]

Brilliant job, definitely going to get yous to build be one when I’ve saved up 👌

[valmorell]

Your Work of Art. Ha ha, ashamed to say my bike lives on the wall in my house. Only downside is keeping it spotless as I ride approx 330 days a year.

Very happy that Sram has made AXS backward compatible with the older Red eTap 11s. This means I can upgrade to disk by just replacing levers and calipers with AXS. The new force levers have a much cleaner look than the previous generation.

[WeirdFishStick]

Were building TT bike for friend, blips didn't arrvive in time so we just put gx axs shifters instead, works like a dream. :D

[sothebychung]

New Force AXS uses the same main shifter body as the Rival, so they got rid of contact point adjustment (which really didn't work well IME).
Also, for the BB was a spacer installed on the DS before the initial install? The SRAM Dub BB install chart shows that a 2.5mm spacer is needed for the regular Dub crankarms with a traditional road-width bottom bracket shell and cups. So the spacer added later should have been included from the outset if none was initially installed.
Nice vid tho, keep up the solid content

I run the 43/30 wide option originally with the 10/36 cassette but I changed to using a Shimano 11/34 as they cheaper to replace. Also I didn't really need a 36 upper socket (34 is so close anyway). With the Shimano 11/34 if gives me a 14 sprocket between the 13 & 15 over the Sram 10/36, which I find more usable to me than a 10. Which is just too big for me, who is going to use a 10 on gravel? The complete Look bike is gorgeous.

[chelolelo]

Hi. Lovely build. With gravel i guess the factoes matter for the rider. But I was curious why go with the RYOTT 44 if they only have 21mm internal rim spacing. Wouldnt one want to go with something wider for gravel? Thanks for feedback.

[nickhutchinson]

You always see a Sram bb spining really stiff in Y tube. This bb spins so nice!

[rp]

Nice build. Are the crank arms still even from each chain stays when putting a spacer on only one side?

[simonrees]

Just discovered your channel. Awesome work. As I'm looking for a new bike myself how much roughly would a build like this cost please.

[JamesSocialCycling]

Another super looking machine👏 What did you torque the T47 BB at? Thanks for the info on the BB, was something I’d been thinking about as to how to instal mine. What would your recommendation be as to a set of Carbon bars, would be nice to have your take on this.😊 Keep the content coming👌
