sauber Ruben, fein gemacht. Fahre nun 2 Jahre auf meinem v2.2 und bin stolzer RAAWrider ;-)

This music so relaxing and at the same time this repetition drives you crazy.
You sure got the tools need for the job.

Cleanest bike build I’ve seen in awhile. Amazing content fellas!

[clothshorse]

The last models are looking sick 🙌 great work you lot

[georgebailey]

Bro you're hired! sweet build, anybody else Shazam the music?

[VelkePivo]

It almost seems like you've done this before...

(LOVE my Yalla!)

[rollygrubschi]

Da hat Ruben wieder einen großen Wurf gezaubert! Und selbst beim Schrauben klasse, ist sicher wieder großartig zu fahren und all die Verbesserungen. Ich finde das B3 optisch zwar nicht so schön wie das V2, aber all die Verbesserungen machen all das wieder Wett. Ich selbst fahre das V.1.2 mein Sohn das V2.2 sind sehr überzeugt von RAAW. DANKE Ruben!

How would you fit a rear derailleur cable without knowing the length first which you wouldn’t know without mounting a shifter. Especially if you are drawing cable from a box

[DieterVanHolder]

* tongue in cheek * When are you shipping my frame!!!! 😅

[hambo]

I'm yet to see a bike build that shows a mechanic fitting tyres and sealant without a jump in the video - in this one the wheels just magically appear all fitted at 21:22!

[BogdanMiliu]

How exactly do you set the dropper cable length before taking the frame out of the box? I thought you said a qualified mechanic needs to install parts.

[johnlesoudeur]

Nice build but why zipp ties for the cables/hoses. There are dedicated reuseable clips available.
