Fixing up Used Bikes | Cannondale Trail 7 | Bike Shortage

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This week we had a friend ask us to find him a used bike so that he could start commuting to work and ride beginner trails in our area. We found him a 2014 Cannondale Trail 7 that was in need of a little TLC. It had a broken spoke, a wheel that needed to be trued, and a drivetrain that needed to be decreased and tuned.

    Great job, Guys. I enjoy you teaching us just what requirements are needed to restore a bike. Although I’m 63 and doubt I ever ride a bike again, I do enjoy your family’s adventures!♥️👍🏻💥

    So inspiring: your love of bikes, your "I can do this" mentality and getting your son involved! Someone is going to enjoy a good bike 🚵‍♂️

    I'm always learning something from your videos, Dave. I especially like that you include one or more of your children. Kudos to both you and Andrew!

    Just a random thought. You are teaching your boys how to repair bikes. I recently came upon a friend that had a need to replace the brake on her Walker. Apparently it is the same set up as a bicycle and is the first thing to go in a Walker. The local “medical equipment” repair place charged her $75 to LOOK AT IT. That was when another friend suggested a Bike Repair shop. Don’t know if you have many Walker users in your area - if so, this might be a nice side hustle for your boys. Blessings!

    this is great-esp as spring starts arriving... bike shops are busy... and it's good to know how to fix up/refurbish a bike on your own.

    Just a quick tip: You trued the wheel perfect but the tire was installed incorrectly in the rim

    Hi Dave! Can you do a video on how to size yourself for buying a bike online? I have long legs and tall for a woman so hard to fit properly. I find sometimes the bike I have has too small a circumference when I’m peddling.... I hope this makes sense. Thank you 🙏

    Considering that it's at least a $550 dollar bike, I'd say its a solid deal.
