Can You Build A Full Suspension Mountain Bike In Your Garage? | Blake Builds An MTB!

This time around Blake has learnt from his mistakes and knows he'll need a jig to make sure he doesn't end up with a wonky bike! Re-using some parts from his old bikes and getting some help from experts in the field he hopes to build a 'full-squish' to top his last attempt at bike building. 🚨 Use Code GMBN20 for 20% off non-discounted Peaty's Bike Care Products on https://gmbn.eu/Peatys * 🚨 ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Welcome back you beautiful people! 00:39 - Making the jig 07:02 - Let's start making the frame! 08:03 - Some help from Paul from BTR 12:50 - Working out the suspension 15:58 - Let the welding begin 18:14 - The biggest blunder 20:21 - Building the rear triangle 21:29 - Time to weld the frame! 22:13 - Let's take her out for a spin Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks: https://gmbn.eu/YouTubeMembership Subscribe to the channel for more! 👉 https://gmbn.eu/Subscribe 🛍 GMBN Merch Store 👉 https://gmbn.eu/gmbnshop Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://www.gmbn.com/uploader Looking for MTB Insurance?
