Giant XTC TEAM, the Build

[Surfmus]

@southsd1606 I have one Parktool, and another home made, look around my other videos, I was just to lazy to pull it out that day.

[southsd1606]

YOU NEED A BIKE STAND ........I USED TO BUILD MY BIKES LIKE IN IN MY LIVING ROOM THEN I BOUGHT A STAND MAKES IT MUCH EASIER

[MrSnareplaya]

how long did this really take you?

[Surfmus]

@MrSnareplaya less than 2 hours. I have built some many bikes that now I think I can build them in an 1:30> If I'm to build the wheelset, i.e. lace the spokes/hubs and rebuilt the fork and so on, then 5 hours. But as this vid, in an hour.

[malayneum]

what is name of that song?

[ruib991]

that was not deore hollowtech ll crank that was a none series hollowtech ll.

[Surfmus]

@ruib991 the none series and Deore are the same, The material, weight, performance, are the same. This was either the m535 or m540 same as DEORE. The none series was used by Specialized, a lot of them were put on Enduro models.

Hello, really nice build there. Anyway, I want to ask you if XTC can handle aggressive trails because I just bought one xtc frame and wouldn't dare to ride it hard in case the frame breaks.

[Surfmus]

@bionix071290 XTC are more light than strong and can make a fast bike but not as strong as Iron Horse let's say! There are others similar frames and is all about preference, like Specialized, blah, blah, etc. I hope this helped.

[Surfmus]

@bionix071290 I never rode this particular build, but I have another build Giant XTC team blue. I rode that one for two months, being smaller and I believed was already flexed or did not have the right strong headset, I sold it since I was fed up with the creaking sound. The buyer never had an issue and was heavier than me or maybe torque less than I do. XTC are more lighter than strong.

[Taud]

@bionix071290 Its not my video,but id like to mention i ended up not buying an XTC recently because of how light and thin the frame was, it wouldnt hold up to the park trails at all, the road it did fine, but i had to buy a kona for the park trails

[Surfmus]

@Taud this was build never ridden, but I also built another giant xtc blue (a video is there) and xtc are more into the racing type, instead of taking drops or hardcore xc. But they make great light bikes.
