Excellent breakdown of the assemblies and steps. You’ve done a great service to the biking community.

This guy is an excellent teacher. Tone, pacing, just world class.

I really hate when people say why build a bike when you buy one. For me it would be very nice and informative to build a bike. That way I would probably learn so much more about how my machine works! yes I can buy a new bike but I would still buy upgrades! that’s what motorbike riders do to create the ride much more comfortable and personal that way to keep the confidence up! nice video and channel!!!

[nadhiagurrola]

This is exactly what I want. I want to build one bike at the very least in my lifetime.

[Kadori]

Lovely, I used to be so scared of building bikes because I thought that it would be so hard and I wouldn't know how to buy parts or check Compatibility this is an awesome guide

Appreciate this video and I'm only 12min in. Well done man. Most build videos just show the build with no explanation and I haven't seen any on YT as detailed as yours. Your insight into focusing on what standard you need and measuring have me less apprehensive about doing my dream build. Cheers!

Fantastic video just what i was looking for. Just bought a marin frame and zero and i mean zero experience building bikes or even buying the parts required. This video has helped no end.

This was incredibly useful. It was like a free online course.
Lots of respect for high quality content.
Thank you so much man!

Started Mountain biking last year and you don't know how much your videos have helped me with the maintenance. Great videos and great channel!

[MHE]

I am building my own bike and this video has really helped me to understand the smaller working parts and getting the right sizes for my bike!👍🏼

[PedroFTeixeira]

Finally I see Exotic components... I've used them for years, and they are great at great prices, but It still seems like an "underground" brand.
Also they have a brake pad store, with great value/quality.

My goodness Danny... so much hard work you've done to bring us this video... thank you for being so thorough... looking anxiously forward to the build. (Apparently you are a Doctor of Bikeology !)

As with all your videos, well done! The advantage to building your own bike-you get exactly what you want. Years ago I built up a steel-frame, Haro 29er hardtail w/X9 components, Avid BB7 mechanical discs and a Tora fork. A little more expensive than buying a bike off the rack, but for me, the bike is perfect. 6 years of riding, and I never regret it.

[adfinemrising]

you are the BEST!!!! thank you! i can now fix or disassemble my back instead of being bothered that i dont know anything about my bike

[blizzr.]

Information in this video is so valuable for people who never build a bike, thanks big time.

[curbowman]

I build my first bike as a 12-years old, a cheap Chinese 10-speed with 24" wheels, with the help of my dad. Since then I have always done my own servicing, except for wheel truing, an art I'm beginning to learn. There's nothing like the feel of riding a bike you have built yourself!

[LeonardoMurte]

Mate, my mind just blew up so much information.

Thanks for the video!

[RaptorRunner]

This video rocks. I’ve watched a few build videos and this by a landslide has more information and talks about the variations I wanted to know about. Great video!

[alexanderko]

The best instructor ever!!! Thanks, man!!

[wilbasano]

this is very better than dream build with music! you learn so much after watching this video. thanks to SickBiker
