When you build a bike what's the last thing you fit?
« on: May 05, 2014, 08:31 PM »
I have 3 builds on the go at the moment, all three have cranks fitted and I have the pedals but as yet I haven't fitted them.

Then I realised on all of my builds the last thing I fit is the pedals.

What about you?

Mine are all built the same way/order:

BB cups - easier to knock in without the weight of the forks
Headset
Seat clamp
Seat post
Seat guts and seat
Stem

I then flip the bike over, then

Tubes/tyres/wheels/valve caps
Bottom bracket/crank/chainring/spider
Pedals

Bike goes on the tyres right way up

Grips
Brake levers*
Front caliper and cable*
Rear caliper

Rear brake blocks lined up to rim

Bike goes back I've onto grips and seat

Back wheel gets pushed forward an inch in the drops

Chain gets split to correct length (inch and a half of slack)

Back wheel gets pulled back and tightened up

Fine adjust on brake blocks

Rear cable
Padset

*except my race bikes.
