I'm a casual bike rider, but wanted to know more about the components on my bike to watch for deficiencies. This gal knows her stuff. She was excellent--very clear, precise and understandable. Thank you for this video

Right on! Even if you only casually ride, it can never hurt to understand how your bike works. 🙌🚲

just bought a bike from rei and this came up on my recommendation and it was certainly relevant thanks youtube overlord

I've been working on bikes since I was old enough to use a wrench. This is an awesome video. It has just enough detail that the average rider needs to know, and nothing more. Great work!

Getting just the right amount of information in a short instructional video can be tricky, so we appreciate your kudos. Thanks Markos!

Haven’t used a bike in SO long and this is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone keeps using these terms for parts of the bike but never point to it. THANK YOU

This is the best video I've seen for an older rider getting back into to it. I just brought home the the Specialized Roll, 3.0 and a few tools. Thank you so much. Well done.

Semi-pro tip: When you remove the tube, don't remove yet or move the tire around the rim. Figure out on the tube where the puncture occurred, then bring the tube back to the wheel, line up the valve stem with the valve hole in the rim: you can now narrow down the area to search for the cause of the puncture to wherever the location of the puncture on the tube lines up to on the tire. Note that unless you tracked the orientation of the tube , there are _two_ candidate locations on either side of the valve, when you flipflop the tube over.

Kat thank you very much for your time buddy. It is much appreciated. I had forgotten so much since I last rode a bike. It was a great refresher for sure. Awesome work.

This guide is so well made and organized. Thank you. This is now saved in my Bike Notes

Thanks Kat! Bought my first bike in about a decade and this was a great refresher course.

This is so, so helpful. Thank you!

These are all the details a rider should know about their bike. Beautifully explained. As a Mechanic in progress, I can say that every aspect described in this video is absolutely critical about owning and riding a bike. Thinking about using this material to teach some local riders.

One of the best videos I've seen❤

Thanks Kat! Really appreciate the practical information, especially as a beginner.

Thank you, Kat! I learned so much today about how to maintain my bike correctly. Well done!

One of the best guides on youtube. Great information and super easy to follow. Awesome job, thank you for sharing this!

Incredible video. Thank you for taking the time to post in such detail.

Excellent informational video.

This was fantastic! It was easy to follow, understand and was delivered in a clear and succinct order. am an LCI instructor and recently started working in the bike shop at REI this summer. Great step-by-step bike maintenance care. Ride on! 🚲

Rei is a coop with the best products. 20 a year and they help with everything with thoughtful conversations on the phone. lots of benefits with membership.

awesome info . love how you guys took the time to explain this.

Great video! Covered so much great information. Wonderful presentation of the information. Thanks Kat!

Excellent video - clear - practical - useful - 10/10

Just bought an older bike today that's gonna need some fixing up. Thanks for putting this out!

Excellent tutorial. Easy to understand and follow.

Great class style presentation, really benefited from this

Thank you, it is very useful information presented clearly and to the point.

A great little refresher with some tips that were also new. Thanks very much!

Any avid cyclist must become a bike mechanic. I saved tons of money and time making my own repairs and upgrades.

@@rei This video reminded me I need to buy a new bike. I've been on the REI website. Hoping I can find an electric cargo bike capable of moving 200kg uphill! (Including the rider.) I've realized maintenance isn't magic, so I'd be confident spending a lot on a bike. Before, I didn't want to take the risk of trashing it while out on a ride, and the situation being hopeless. But if I can do basic repairs myself, that changes things.

THANK YOU, Kat and REI.

Thanks for a very clear description.

Thank YOU! for the video and sharing your knowledge about basics😀

Very helpful. I'm getting my first bike for commuting. You broke down the basics well such that even I could understand it. lol

Unfortunately, I had to search "bike maintenance for ladies" to find a video NOT aimed at mega-jocks. Fortunately, I found this excellent video! Thank you for the very high quality content.

Great video! Thank you and Happy Riding! 🚲

Just pointing out that bike’s rear triangle for all to see. No shame!

Motorcycle chain cleaner and lubricant should work on a bicycle chain, right? A bicycle chain shouldn’t be fragile in that it requires a specific type of cleaner and lubricant??

i never like going to the smallest cog in the rear when removing my wheel it makes things harder

@DominiqueB

Жыл бұрын

I'm the opposite, like Kat, i always shift to the smallest cog (OK, "when i remember" :-) It shouldn't make it harder, on the contrary,: a) that's where you have the most slack on the chain, so you can move the derailleur out of the way easier when removing or replacing the wheel, b) when putting the wheel back on, you know where to located the chain, it lines up nicely and doesn't get in the way.
