Restoring a Cheap Facebook GT - Flip Bike

Спорт

In addition to the 'Bikepocalypse' causing used bike prices to drop, we've seen remarkable discounts on new bike parts. This situation has provided us with the unique opportunity to upgrade very inexpensive bikes with equally affordable parts. Most notably, we found Shimano MT200s for $33 and a Shimano Cues 10-speed derailleur, shifter, cassette, and chain for under $100.
Today, our $125 2018 Dick's Sporting Goods GT Ricochet is set for a fresh start.

    Let’s do this more often! I must reiterate that spending all week on a bike to make $45 isn’t worthwhile. We sell these bikes to 1) prove the bike increased in value. 2) show you how bikes work. I’m out in Utah right now and numerous families have approached me to say how they work on bikes together because of these videos. College kids have told me how Flip Bike has helped them make cheap bikes rideable. Do they have ultrasonic cleaners? Of course not, but they have plenty of free time and can-do attitudes. That’s why I keep making these videos, NOT to show you how to start a bike flipping business.

    Definitely one of my favorite series! I have a question/perhaps video discussion request… if one owns an older mountain bike similar to this, or perhaps a few years older (26” straight head tube, etc..) at what point do you feel it’s worth doing the incremental upgrades vs replacing the whole bike? I know things have changed a lot in the last 10 years of mountain biking but am curious where that performance for the dollar really kicks in.

    I've taken a GT Avalanche that was probably bought and Dick's and changed basically everything over time. The frame is SOLID. Bontrager wheelset with a QR conversion on the back, new 120mm Judy fork (that I'm hoping to replace with a 130 Recon that's cheaper and sell the Judy), new pedals, dropper post, Maxxis tires, new saddle, new stem, Pilgrips, new bars, Box 3 drivetrain I bought for like $120 on sale. All budget type items, but the bike is FUN to ride. With that new fork and subsequent sale of the old one, I'll be in the bike for about $1k, including the initial $400 sale, over 2 1/2 years. A similar $1k hardtail won't be specced as nicely. Some of the stuff I bought I found in this series. It also taught me how to look for budget pricing.

    LOVE Flip Bike! Sharing the thought process on what you choose to upgrade vs. keeping original components and restoring function through cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of low cost parts is really nice to see. Hopefully what people really get from this is that maintaining their ride can be a way to enjoy time with the bike on and OFF the trail for minimal cost and then on occasion choose the appropriate and worthwhile upgrade. I’d like to see a “top 5” adjustment/ maintenance jobs video that can be done with non-specialty bike tools. At some point you have probably touched this in different videos. By non specialty, I mean common tools affordable and available at places like Home Depot, etc…. I think some folks get put off working on their bike because they think all the tooling needed is just too expensive. With some jobs there’s only one tool to get it done, but in other cases the work can be done using more general/inexpensive tools without undue risk of harming the machine. Thanks again for the great content.

She doesn't "mountain bike" but I still want her to have something nice to be able to ride around together with me and our son. She doesn't need anything new, expensive, or high tech. I think it will be a great way to learn and build something unique. I hope I can make it as nice as one of yours when I'm able to get to it. Or maybe I can just mail it to you and you can do it!

    I can confirm that you can definitely pull the threads out of a crank with a crank puller. I did it recently on a Trek Marlin 5 that I was rebuilding with parts from my Marlin 8 with a bent frame. As I started cranking down on the crank puller, it suddenly popped loose and took all the threads from inside the Shimano crank arm with it. At that point, my only option was to grab my Dremel and cut the spindle off the bottom bracket, which of course destroys the bottom bracket, but I didn't care, because I was swapping it anyway. I'm not entirely sure why the threads pulled out, but I have a hunch that insufficient grease was applied to the spindle when the bike was originally built.

    I’ve heard that sometimes there is a washer between the crank bolt and arm that can cause the threads to strip. In any case you solved the problem hopefully the built came out nice.

    That heat gun is great for making old plastics look new, like any gray areas on the pedals.

    So happy to see Flip Bike return. I do wonder what everyone's experience with gray market parts has been. I recently got a gray market Cane Creek headset and it was an obvious QC reject.

    I love the Flip Bike vids. And, as a big GT fan, this was worth a watch. I'd have binned those forks, though.

    While I do have a very nice and new 29 inch full suspension Rocky Mountain, I cannot let go of my 1997 Mongoose Rockadile (pre-Walmart); it has too much sentimental value. I would like to restore it to it's former glory but parts are hard to come by. I find myself on e-Bay almost all of the time, which is a 50/50 crap shoot. Your videos have given me hope and motivation to finally do something about my old timer. Glad I found your KZread page. Subscribed.

    Just bought a few year old trek Precaliber for my son. First thing I did was thorough cleaning and lubricating. New grips, and it’s good to go. Like new.

    Great episode as always. A suggestion is to use slip joint piers with the teeth biting into the direction you are turning, you had the pliers upside down. I know it sometimes works either direction, but having them in the correct direction gives you way more leverage.
