Love my ultrasonic cleaner! I volunteer for an organization that takes in donated bikes and refurbish them. The bikes go to different charities within the city. I have a larger cleaner where I can submerge all my parts at the same time…great timesaver! Keep up the good work on the videos!

I like watching you work on these bikes because you're so meticulous. I too am very meticulous in bike maintenance. I am always cleaning and inspecting my bikes, some would say I'm a bit obsessive about it 😂 but I like to be sure all is well. After all my safety and enjoyment are at stake! I know not everyone is a mechanic and some people just want to ride but I struggle with how neglected these bikes are. It is so satisfying to see you clean them up and make them right!

Suggestion: use a camera stand or stabilizer. Great channel Subscribed

One of the best services and beautiful bikes you’ve had on. Well done!

It is so exciting to see a full carbon bike overhaul. I really find your work satisfactory, keep up the good work!

Great service, strip down, rebuild (that was some sweaty handlebar with those white deposits). Great job, bike will ride like new. Bearing in mind date of vid and my comment today ( 1 year on) you should be seeing it again soon (if not already done so). Always a pleasure and learning experience with your vids.

Hi Kevin, price really is relative to where you are, your taxes, overheads and such play a big role in how you price yourself, our prices work for us but they’re not the standard of what everyone should charge, hope that helps

Always keep my chain clean...cheaper to clean a chain than replace everything a dirty one destroys.

Was this an actual carbon frame?: I thought I saw corrosion on the forks which didn't add up?

Big chain ring looks worn. New chain will drop on Power

Love to know the before and after weight?

my drivetrain looks like this after a couple weeks of rainy commuting lol. regular turpentine spray and steam blasting does the trick but the amount of black gunk that I collect on the regular is disgusting.

As someone who service pretty cheap bikes that are not well maintained, this is a pretty normal dirty bike

Servicing should also include cleaning of bolts in stem and handle bar as well as cleaning and polishing of sti shifters.

its because we've become a throw - away society. There was a time of make do and mend. Its pitiful. I'm currently working on an old Raleigh that was destined for the scrap heap , albeit slowly as I'm a novice, but I want the pride and satisfaction of giving an old bike another chance. Plus I feel it's important to preserve our cycling heritage

There is actually something wrong in the head of someone who would let a bike to get into that condition.

Good channel ruined by too many ads.

Noticed you don’t wear gloves to protect your hands. Is this because you loose a sense of feel while you service and check for wear?

@Bikespeeds

They’re more of a hindrance than a help we find🧡

But why on Earth someone uses a grease on bike chain? It’s not concrete mixer with tooth drive. The whole drivetrain is ruined and destroyed for sure.

It seems to me that when you work on an old bike,you say, " This is still good, these bearings are good, no need to replace this chain." On the newer bikes, it's a case of," This chain is worn out,these bearings are shot, this part needs to be replaced. The quality is not there anymore and has been sacrificed for lighter parts for more speed. I know I don't need to ride fast.

@Bikespeeds

With new bikes becoming faster and faster it’s mostly about tolerances going down. Old bikes carry a lot of slack, room for wear. So when they do wear it doesn’t noticeably decrease the performance of the bike. But newer bikes are so tight and so quiet, something worn sticks out like a sore thumb🧡

How do people let their bikes get to this point in the first place? I care too much about my bikes to let them get like this.

You wrapped those bars incorrectly in my opinion. You should always wrap away from the palms not towards.

I was quite disappointed to hear you say you would not service the bearings on the pedals. Those pedals rotate just as many times as all the other parts on the bicycle. They may be different to service but they are not more difficult to service. You should have done the bearings on the pedals too..
