Evan, there's a chemical called right off. It's the only chemical I've ever used that actually takes off adhesive and it has a nice citrus smell. There is another chemical called right on and that helps when applying decals.

Hey Evan! Instead of using chemical removers or your finger on sticky removal, you can buy a rubber buffer for a drill and it works a charm! They use them in the automotive industry and they won’t destroy your paint if you get a good one! No nasty chemicals and no finger blisters

Chainstay protector: Clear mounting tape works well, make sure both surfaces are alcohol-clean. I’ve used Scotch and 3M in the past. Keep the videos coming! :)

The Jeffsy uncaged 6 flight attendant was on sale (at least in Germany) for 4.999€. Used in good condition might go between 3.000€ and 3.700€ depending on how long you can wait. The YT Capra is on sale for 4.799€ right now with flight attendant and SRAM X0 Transmission.

Had the same issue with the existing wrap on my Jeffsy too. I ended up using MucOff Glue and sealant remover. Worked like a charm

the colour combo of this bike is immaculate 😍😍

That’s a sick restoration man!

There is a simple solution for this, not the best but a straightforward one. Since RockShox (RS) uses Axis on their dropper, why not lock up both suspensions when the dropper is at full extension, and open up both suspensions when the dropper is down? Think about it; it makes sense. You pedal when your dropper is up, and before entering a gnarly section, you drop the seat. So all they have to do is sync the dropper and the shocks.

Awesome video. Makes me want to go work on my bike listening to 80s disco. I fact, I’m going to go wash it right now

Just got a bike with Fox live Valve, pretty crazy tech going on there. Makes the bike the best climber I ever had.

yeah this is an awesome buy for someone like you who can fix it. super cool video. nice grab!

Awesome job Evan! I'm riding an 2018 Jeffsy and I still mostly love it. Though it would need really need a glow up like what you just did 👌 Amazing find to get that bike for the cost of the suspension alone (even though we rarely pay MSRP for suspension)!

electronnic suspention is epic seems like a pretty good upgrade!!!!!

This is familiar. I bought a 2020 YT Jeffsy CF Pro about a year ago. It had been trashed. The frame was full of mud, it got into everything, and whoever serviced it didn't do a great job of cleaning it out. A very good, clean, and a bunch of new parts (cables, bearings, etc) later, its mint :D

I love this kind of video please keep making more

I picked up a 2017 epic comp for $1200 that got a full major service. Such an awesome bike.

I had the same issue with old frame protection adhesive. Tried a lot of things and the best thing was 3M adhesive remover I got at Walmart for about $5/can. It literally just melted the adhesive off. Still had to wipe it off and sacrifice a couple towels, but it made light work of it!

Weather strip adhesive/silicone (permatex) is the glue i was told to use when my yeti chainstay protector started to come off. The black color worked great for me but i do believe you can get them in clear glue as well

Soaking the adhesive with WD40 or even some cooking oil for 20-30m will make it wipe right off, No blisters and sore thumbs!

You better keep this bike it’s so cool. You basically own the future

Nice rebuild. I had my fill with suspension gadget. I cost me a lot of $ to convert my Stumpjumper w a rear Fox Flaot w a "Brain" trail sensor to a new Rock Shocks Deluxe Ultimate. It worked pretty decent, but I had I send it to Spec for service bc no local shops could do the Nitrogen charge.

For the chain protector, I use a 3M Mastic tape. It's ugly but you get to cut it to shape and doesn't leave a nasty residue. Quite thick too.

Heat that wrap more before pulling it. Then use the piece you pulled off to lift off any additional adhesive on the frame while still warm. Sticky side to the warm adhesive will lift anything that remains right off.

Dude.. fabulous. The 4K quality too. Well done!

Sick video. But those foam rings that go under the wiper seals when servicing the fork lowers. You are supposed to soak in fork oil, whatever weight goes in the lowers. This will keep the stanchions lubricated. For the press fit bottom bracket, don’t use grease, that can cause a lot of creaking, as press fits are known for. Instead use the park tool retaining compound and adhesive primer. Put the primer on the inside surface of the bike and then apply the retaining compound to the bottom bracket and press it in. This will create a much stronger bond than just grease and will prevent any creaking.

@EvansMTBSaga

They were soaked. The new oil Rockshox recommends is clear. And I've yet to find a BB that can withstand riding in the rain, so I've had to replace bottom brackets several times a year. No point in using green loctite to basically glue it in when I know I'll have to remove it in 3 months

I tried flight attendant on a giant trance x and the suspension blew me away. It worked so good that it felt like the best of having a hardtail and a full suspension bike because it was supportive when it needed to and opened up immediately during the rough stuff and a big landings. It was very intuitive and it was pretty much invisible in operation for the most part. I know what it's doing and I can feel what it's doing when it's doing it but it responds so fast that it just feels amazing.

Lighter fluid takes glue residue right off easier and faster than products “made” for that. Just wipe area clean with your spray of choice. Does not harm clear coat/paint.

Frame has undersized bottom bracket, poor spin test. Sram BB tolerates 40.95-41mm. Can be fixed by hooning the BB frame shell with a driller and a special tool. Hambini has some vids about bike issues, if youre in engineering behind.
