People are right, it's awesome that you showcase work on regular bikes as well.

Working on common bikes is very useful for us common folks.

Great to see another 'ordinary' bike getting attention

I love how you properly go through absolutely every detail of very bike you do, I and I'm sure alot of others have learnt a lot or found enjoyment watching your channel

That turned out spectacularly great.

Another superb job. I think this bike is better than when it left the factory.! I’ve said it before you are a credit to the cycling community by sharing all your knowledge and skills. 😎🙌

Love the videos in 'ordinary' bikes. I know a few people who would do well to get their commuter serviced and I hope to convince them to let me do it for them.

Bikespeeds video release is the always something I look forward on Wednesdays!! Awesome job as always!!

These videos are so calming

Perfect job for average Joe's bike. Tip: If you're interested in the right torque, get yourself the Big Blue Book by Park Tools, they have lots ot data in it. The previous versions can be found quite cheap, and give you the same information as the newest one, unless you're interested in mounting a DI2.

A bike so gritty, you finally had to wear gloves! The effort and expense to stabilise the video are much, much appreciated!

Best way to start your day!

copper slip is designed for high heat areas. Think exhaust manifold bolts. brake caliper bolts. the idea being the carrier burns off leaving behind a trace amount of copper, A very soft metal that will help with stopping seizing. I call it slip too. my college tutor was old school and it stuck.

I am one of those tripod commenting people, steady cams definitely make the videos better to watch. Nice work!

Really enjoyed that! many thanks. Wish I was much closer to your shop.

Great vid again guys, new bike.. what a difference.

Superb job. I had a 2006 CB Urban 500, really enjoyed riding it. Shame they've disappeared.

Hey lads! For your shorter videos that you post on Insta, have you considered posting them on here as well as a Short? Regardless, good work again this week! Looking forward to next weeks video.

You must have saved hundreds or even thousands of bikes At this moment by viewers getting more comfortable servicing there old bikes and maybe friends and families old bikes. Working bikes that will not end up in the scrap yard or landfill and instead out on the road instead of cars ❤️❤️

Amazing to see what a little bit of tlc can do for a bike - magic chaps 👌👏

That looks like a banging commuter bike, apart from the dork disks ;) and reflectors ;) awesome bike and awesome service details :)

Another excellent step by step. Like the talk on the various grease options used for the relevant sections. Thanks. Keep the videos coming. Certainly a less jumpy video presentation as well.

Another brilliant video. Would love to see the reaction of your customers when they pick up their bikes! Keep going.

Good job guys

I got a new bike and I tightened the head bolt really tight because it came in a box and I was falling often for the first time in my life. It worked because I haven't fallen down since. If you have time, send me a line.

Love these videos been looking for these

Thanks for the video! See you next week.

CLEAN! keep it coming!

Another bike fettling masterclass,👍

It truely feels like you're listening to connents :-) vids like this help develop a feel for "just about right". I don't want my bikes to be wet or dry :-) or at least I hope they do, I did some brake adjustments today and just with the multi tool it was a job of a minute or so to fix the noise.

Nice one!

Love a good commuter. I'm currently going through a few nice upgrades on my commuter to make it a little nicer to ride, because sometimes I'll pick my MTB for a ride to a friends just because my commuter doesn't feel great, but making a few small upgrades (tidying the cables, flipped the stem to make it look faster, and stickers over the big scratches) has made me love riding it again!

Thanks for sharing your work! When the chain is streched out +1%, then it's clear to replace the cassette too. If it's somewhere close, maybe 0.75% or just below, how do you decide if the rest of the drive train needs replacing?

Looking at the angle of the saddle it looks like it's set up as a wheelie bike!

How come you always use af hand/foot pump to pump up the wheels and not a compressor? Wouldn’t it save a bit of time? Great videos all over the channel, great addition with the tripod too!

Great video as usual guys. That's the sort of bike I get to work on, good commuter bike. I need one of those handlebar stays/support you use when on the bike stand where can I get one? I ususally just ty-wrap the wheel to the down tube but then of course I can't spin the wheel.

Great work man! That was a lot of pro detailed tuning. I just can't help but think the owner must really love that bike because if that was in the shop where I work that would have easily been a $300 to $400 service. I mean that bike can't be worth more than $200. What was it new? $500... 🤔

Hi there, just wondering if you could do a video on how you go about lubricating a rear derailleur?

incredible :o

Again you did a great in-depth job on the CB. I have the Urban 200 but the black wheel spokes have some rust on them from it standing outside. I'm thinking of replacing them with stainless steel spokes, one by one. is that the best way for me to go? Thank you for showing us all. John.

6:45 is that crack on the disc ?

I remember people always lost their shit when my friend used copper grease for brake assembly on cars because dissimilar metals

For DIY bike maintenance, would the multi-purpose grease work as an alternative to premium grease and copper grease? I mean just to keep the bike running, until the next big maintenance at a shop? Like I bought a new pair of pedals, and used muti-purpose grease on the threads, was it a bad idea?

Any lubricant is better than no lubricant. Keep up the sympathetic work 👍🏻🧡⚙️

Looks great, how much for this job ?

I see you applied a bit of white grease before installation of crank arms. I recently searched this online and opinions were split whether this is good or not . The main disadvantage people state is that the crank arms could go on the square taper further or have a sloppy fit over time . What’s been your experience and advice? Thanks and again great work!

@Bikespeeds

2 жыл бұрын

The bottom bracket is a serviceable item, chances are in the life of the bike it will need replacing. A skim of grease on the square taper will help with removal of the chainset, it’s future proofing ease of service at that time. If a bike has a regular service schedule the arms should be torqued (40nm) frequently through the life cycle of the bearing. The rounding off of the pedal arm is usually because the bolt was never torqued correctly from new and then never checked, often years old before the complaint is made

So glad I found your channel and have watched all your videos to present. I especially like when you work on a vintage bike. I do need to invest in a torque wrench like yours as my bar type torque wrench I use is a pain. What is the range of your torque wrench? Thank you for an excellent video.

The grease syringes are from hydraulic brake bleed kits and the thin oil ones are from Amazon. We only put metal or anodised parts in the cleaner, not painted components. Anodised parts we do cold, metal parts (chains and cassettes) we use the heater element
