I think this was the video where you suddenly hit a winning formula with your narration, Simon's filming and editing and the mellow tunes, brilliant 😀

Great job on this video. It’s nice to see good work with a great outcome! I am not a professional bike mechanic but self taught and only my own bikes for now and more of a retirement hobby. I am happy to see that what I do with my bikes is mirrored by a pro such as yourself. There are details though that I will be going back and redoing having seen your work such as greasing bolt threads, replacing caged headset bearings with individual bearings. Also, I like your use of the sonic cleaner where I’ve been using just plain old “elbow grease” and degreaser solution. Thanks again for sharing your expertise!

Hi Rikki we are based in Lowestoft, UK

Love to see how you rebuild the hubs, at our shop in the Netherlands, we just replace the low end wheels and hubs, because this is cheaper. If you compare the work that goes in to rebuidling a tx505 hub to the price of a new one, it is cheaper for the customer to just replace it.

As these are customers bikes we can’t always do this kind of work to a bike “you painted my bike and ruined it” and so on. We have to be very careful. People are irrational at times.

You should get your customers reactions!

Great vid mate, but I would bin the T-cut and use Farécla G3 or G10 mild, great stuff.

Great video I am just about to service a neighbours Talon which is abit of a mess, new chain rings (its a 3 x 10) new cassette and new chain going on. hoping it turns out as well as the one you done. Great work.

It will always be either a chain or the hub needing a service, little else it can be really. If you remove the wheel you can usually feel if the hubs the problem. If that flicks back nicely it’s the chain.

2:38 - bit overcrowded in that teeny ultrasonic.

One recommendation is to put some suspension grease on the fork stanchions, make the bike just a bit smoother

Loved it the detailing of the video is top notch . Needed a little help my mate owns a polygon premier 4 his headset below stem is having a small play when trying to tighten it does only when the rider is on the bike when he gets off of it it starts to play and makes subtle noise . I'm doubting it may be the sealed bearings but recently he had changed the starnut by himself so it might be that . Any suggestions would be helpful for us Thank you.

Great videos would love to see a voodoo bantu 1 as that's what bike I have

no problem to use silicon detailing spray over disc rotors? very nice job (again) but wondering why no new chainstay protector? 🧐

Do you have a video of a service on a "Giant Performance tracker boost 12x148mm, sealed bearing" type hub, one that would be found on a 2021 giant reign?

I been in to bikes for a long time now. And i also service bikes. I allways wondered what heck are those rubber rings that you put on the shifter cable.
