A certain someone took my mountain bike out while it wasn't fully put together, and the rest is history. Now we need to fix a very messy situation to get it working again.

@@RC-fp1tl there is a company called ND tuned that sells the special press tools to get the job done. You'll need a minimum of 10 ton hydraulic press. I designed and made my own press out tools. That did require a metal lathe and milling machine. I've done a Rockshox revalation and a 2018 Fox 36 so far. The Fox was much easier to do. The tool I made for the Rockshox was way more complex so I wouldn't damage the crown. You can get steer tubes from ebay or aliexpress.

That's a pretty decent idea if you're worried that someone might take the bike for a ride. Though a simple sign, sticker or something would also do the trick.
well you actually ARE changing the properties of titanium when you heat it up to change the colors. Granted its not as much as it is with steel, but there is a slight change. You can actually change the surface color with a specific voltage tho without changing the metal itself. For this you got to dump the piece in baking soda/water solution, connect one pole to the water itself and the other one to the metal, the duration you leave it in for and the voltage determine the color, 15v for example gives you a nice orange/gold while 22v gets you that nice purple. works great!
@7452Michael

Heating titanium this way might not necessarily change its properties. You’d have to heat it to it’s recrystallization temperature to do that. From some quick googling it seems you have to get it to 600-700 F for the oxide layers to form, whereas the recrystallization temp is over 1500 F. So if you’re careful with the torch you won’t be changing the properties at all
@acochran9768
2 жыл бұрын
There's no way you're "changing the properties" of either the titanium or the steel by waving a MAPP gas torch at it for a few seconds. All he's doing in the video is putting a little surface finish on the titanium. To change the bulk properties of titanium or steel would require a much larger heat source applied over a much longer time.

@@dermax_hd You're just burnishing the surface. No different than anodizing (which is what you describe). To change the structural capacity of Ti or CrMo (crank, frame, whatever) you have to change the microstructure which requires a bunch of stress, or a lot of heat (or both), and/or an aggressive chemical environment that causes some kind of cracking.
There's usually a notch on the inside of an oval chainring that should line up with your crank. That's how you know it's oriented right
Kevin’s just helping us get the content we need.
seth: "guess who broke my bike?" me: "kevin?"
For forks with short steerer tube, have a look at the Syntace stems. The Flatforce needs only 22mm steerer tube and when turned upside down raises the bar significantly, which replaces those spacers. Or, more conservatively, the Megaforce3 needs 30mm of steerer tube but only has a 6 degree angle, so it won‘t raise the bar so high.
I love how Seth just climbs up on his table to fix his bike
"I think Seth's gonna be upset with me ...again". haha
Kevin looks and jokes like a blend of all four of the Marvel Chris's
Kevin could try the Deity Copperhead stem, it has a really low stack hight and might just fit on that fork, you could also get a lower profile headset such as a Cane Creak Slamset.

Man this is my favorite video by far! Keep up the good work. You have inspired many people including myself by just doing what you love. Thanks
I like these videos of guys just hanging out working on bikes. And we got tips we usually miss from actual repair videos.
Kevin could try using/switching to a BMX stem, those're also made with a 31.8 handlebar clamp diameter suitable for MTB handlebars these days but also have a really low stack height for the steerer clamp. That way he might be able to keep using that fancy fork.
Seth the kinda guy to break a bike and then fix it, because he seems like a wholesome, normal guy

Hello Seth, great content as usual. I was watching a youtuber called Wirtual, a gamer who plays a racing game called Trackmania, and someone commented your catchphrase "and today we're doing something different, but kinda the same" and it got 800+ likes. I just want to share that I find it cool that you have an overlap with a racing game, and ironically enough that racing game doesn't have many ties with other games, but somehow it has overlap with you. Keep it up man, big fan from Norway!
