Park Tool if you're watching this, please send Gary some tools.

I feel like I’m always complaining I don’t have the right tools to do this or that, or that I don’t have the right components… watching you work is eye opening, thank you

Gary, Shimano 8 and 9 speed have different cog spacing on the cassettes (Sunrace  uses the same spacing.) 8 speed is 4.8mm between the centres of the cogs and 9 speed is 4.34mm. This is why your 9 speed shifter is not pulling enough cable to go though your larger cogs and you have to double click. From the smallest cog, your pull error increases until the point at the two largest cogs you need to shift twice. You may find that if you set the shifting pull from either the 4th or 5th cog that you get a smaller pull error eg only 3 or 4 changes up or down, rather than 7 up from cog 1 which might allow all 8 cogs to shift on one lever push.

true spirit of engineering and tool making here lol you have made a shop delivery bike

The fork looks gorgeous!

hey, you need to flip the brake pads around in the front since whole brake is backwards. These pads are directional and made form 2 parts, metal outer and brake shoe inner and it might just shoot out at some point since its how they are replaced. Stay safe and thank you for a video

Milk crate for the win! Very practical build, and HNY to ya.

These videos are so fun and rewarding to watch!! And... educational

That's rad! And who would have thought that the oldest derailleur would have the most range! 😆

Always enjoy your lil cheeky blasts at the end  of the build 😜 great job as per 🤙

i love this bike!! i’ve been obsessing for days! glad i found your youtube explanation

clever trick for the chain link removal, wish I had thought of that last week

Absolutly nailed this bike.

Hey Gary I just wanna say thank you for making videos like this! its the best to watch and relax to fr fr! I just copped a 90s GT Timberline as my first project bike and I just wanna thank you for being so cool my man 🤘 Luv from NorCal

Great video, love the result.  Happy New Year to you as well.

Happy New Year!  Your videos are inspirational.  In fact they're some sort  of mind control experiment that makes me get off my ass and work on a bike.
