S works Project - I am not a smart man
Just about to embark on a build project and wanted to see what I am missing before a critical or stupid moment.
Parts
Ultegra 6800 groupset inc cables and pedals
Tarmac frame, fork, seatpost with headset. says it has CeramicSpeed, ceramic bearings already, not sure if that means I just use the cup adapters or have to use the hollowtech BB too.
Wheels (with shim hub)
Saddle
Bars
Stem
Cages
Tape and elec tape
Tools that I have or to buy
Torque wrench
Chain tool
Saw for the excess stem (though I may ask the lbs to do this)
Park tool hollowtech BB and crank arm tool
Crank wrench
Pedal spanner
Cable cutter
Carbon paste
Assembly grease
What am I missing or don't I need. Thanks in advance

Chain whip... cassette tool... t bar allen keys... buy the best cable cutter you can afford
circlip pliers ( probably you might not use but if you ever need.... on a Saturday at 10pm ...0 -
cable inners, outers, ferrules and crimps...plus a clear idea of what BB you have...0

another set of allen keys.. you cannot have too many0

bah, go the whip/cassette tool and normal keys too. cant even remember what I have and list that. No wonder I made this post.
Cheers JGSI
The BB thing will be discussed and clarified when I pick the frame up as to me it looks like it already comes with a BB and I just use the adapters which are supplied.
Ferrules and outers will undoubtedly be needed - thanks0 -
Tyres and tubes or tubs n glue and patience.my isetta is a 300cc bike0

Bar tape
Spirit levels for seat and levers
Head set and crown race fitting thingies
Funny cable guide thing that bolts underneath the BB
Bottle of Barollo to sip when it's all done
Skewers
Pork scratchings to munch on while building
Work stand or turbo trainer on table to build it onPostby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

If it's a brand new frame, I'd add a chainstay protector and some of those little stick-on clear patches that stop the cables rubbing the paintwork off.
Also, if not included with bar tape, some bar end plugs.0 -

Matthew screw Pork scratchings, googling cown race fittings, no idea about this funny cable guide. With you on the booze,
Thanks again all0 -
If no pork scratchings how about Bombay mix?
Small file and pointy round thing to make sure the ends of the cables are nice and clean round and trim post snipping.
Oodles of copper slip for b/b area if it's not fitted already (even if it is this is a perfect opportunity to pop it off, clean it and copper slip it up so it doesn't give you grief in x years when you need to replace it.
Edit: cable outers post trimming - sorry.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Scampi fries are min gin'. How about blue Doritos.
Exactomondo - c/slip for non rotating, normal moly for rotating. No need for "marine" grade etc on a bike build if you intend to look after it. If you don't intend to look after it you could use Acme NASA grease and it'll still turn to a festering heap of Alsager.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

You'll find out the things you have missed when you find you don't have them. It is one how you learn and two part of the fun.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0

Camera to take photos of every piece before, during and after fitting, no wait that's just me my isetta is a 300cc bike0

Don't need a chain whip to build/fit a cassette but not a bad tool to have in the box...0

Rather than a saw for the steering tube, if the LBS doesn't cut it for you, use a tubing cutter tool. No cleaning of the crumbles if its CF or metal shavings if its an alloy steerer and a smooth, neat, accurate cut. Look in the plumbing section of the hardware of big box improvement stores if a mate in plumbing doesn't have one you can use. They aren't expensive, though.Lets just got for a ride, the heck with all this stuff...0

Was worth a watch cheers!
Got the frame etc now, just think my seat post is too small given that it doesnt go high enough (772mm) from the BB like my other bikes.
I am not a smart man it seems.
Cheers Old_timer I'll have a nose though the LBS said he would do it for a 4 pack which I am ok with and is probably safter0 -
Do it yourself - then you know it's been done properly.
You don't need a headset press or a crown race tool, you will have carbon forks with a moulded crown race and an integrated headset with bearings that just drop in. You may well need a BB press (which is often the same as a headset press, but with BB30 adapters) if you're fitting a new BB, or if the 24mm adapters are press-fits into the existing bearings. Personally I would ditch the existing BB and use a Praxis or Rotor BB30 to 24mm adapter BB instead (or ditch the 6800 chainset and get a suitable FSA or similar BB30 item).
I would get a saw guide and a hacksaw rather than a tube cutter, because although your steerer will be circular, future seatposts/seatmasts may not be.
Other things you may need:
Chainbreaker
KMC 11-speed magic link (makes subsequent chain removal/replacement easier)
Loctite 243 threadlock
Electrical tape (for securing brake/gear outers to the bars before bar tape, and to finish the bar tape)
Steerer spacers (nice carbon ones...)
Steerer expander bung if your steerer doesn't have one already - you can't use a star nut in a carbon steerer (smartarses about to cite Cervelo at me can zip it; that's a special case and anyway I have bungs in all of mine...)
Helicopter tape - far better than little anti-rub stickers. Wrap your driveside chainstay, your headtube and your seattube just below the seatclamp (to stop rub from the rear brake outer; also you can wrap the NDS chainstay where your cadence sensor will go, if you're using one.
10mm neodymium magnet to go on the end of the NDS pedal bolt in place of a cadence magnet tie-wrapped to the NDS crank arm - but do this before you fit the cadence sensor so you get it in the right place.
Brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to remove grease where necessary (e.g. clamping area of brake/gear cables)
Latex gloves
Lithium grease for repacking bearings where necessary0 -
