I am basically looking for "reliable" info, even if its not video. Telling me to go look for reliable info, without giving me an example of where I may find that...well thanks. I swear I think half of you wouldn't know how to help someone if you life depended on it, but you sure know how to raise your useless post count.
I suppose my response sounds harsh, but that's how yours sounded to me (in general, not all)
Wow, use search, who would have thunk it?
wow, why didn't you SAY so in the first place? 'build my first bike' was *incredibly" vague.
ok, so ROAD stuff. wait, wires?!? oh, you're messing with the *ELECTRIC* ultegra stuff? eek, have fun.
I assume you've read the Shimano documentation on that? start here
http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/te...9830778132.pdf
and progress to other bits like cranks and bottom brakets linked here...
http://techdocs.shimano.com/techdocs/index.jsp
(under Road Bike, choose Ultegra, and all the parts breakdowns and install sheets should be there)
do you have a work stand? having a frame clamp will make things a
lot easier.
lets see, I think I'd do it in this order
- install the forks and headset, held on by the stem.
- install the bars (needed to hold the controls]
- brakes
- handlebar controls *
- put the cassette on the wheel *
- put the wheels on the bike
- install the bottom bracket + crankset *
- install the derailleurs *
- install the chain *
- pedals, seat
- hook up the electric control systems *
- adjust the derailleurs *
- test ride and repeat 8 as needed
* -
the shimano instructions should give all the info you need for these steps.
did I forget anything?
