Sram Red was always my favorite (even over eTap).

Tried a bike mechanic just put another dent in my trust issues. Initially I brought the bike only to adjust both derailleurs and was quoted 15 euros (I was totally new to cycling). Next day when collecting the bike, they gave me a 60+ euro bill of replacing the gear cables, swapped my inner tube (clamed it was punctured) and 2 more things I forgot. They said they couldn't find my phone number, which I immediately showed them on top of the receipt. The bike was only 3 months old and was bought from a different branch of another city. After that, I started buying the maintenance and TLC kits and learned how to do everything by myself. Your videos (and other youtube channels) are very helpful for riders like me 🙏

I was always told not to grease the paw’s in the hud as they my stick down🇬🇧👍

I ride a 1999 Gazelle Goldline Démax, with a lovely Reynolds 531 frame (trapezi, specially made for Gazelle). It's pearl white, gloss finish with red Gazelle decals, and blue and red accents. With an Ultegra 6800 groupset and hand-built wheels (DT411 & White Industries T11 hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes; it's a killer bike. A dream to ride.

Again a lovely job. Only thing with this one you should have included a before and after sound bite of the crank and hub. Just let it spin 😀 My gravel bike is a mat grey. So probably not your taste even with the brown leather seat and handelbar tape. But my boardman AiR TT is a gloss black with yellow on the inside of the fork and inside the rear triangle. It even has some red details which fits me as I am german. 🇩🇪 but of course the bike is also rocking the 🇬🇧 as it is designed in the UK

8:48 Great advice right here, definitely grease the bearing sleeve before you put in a bearing, I’ve seen bearings catch and bend the sleeves or cause other damage because people try to force them. Adding grease removes the friction and allows a well seated bearing.

Ah, Bikespeeds time again. Lovely bike that Dolan. I too prefer gloss paint. I have bikes in gloss yellow, red/orange, white, and burgundy; metallic blue and grey; gloss-coated raw carbon; and matte brown and green. At some point I might see what happens if I give the matte green a polish.

I’ve been told not use grease when pressing in bearing as they might slip and create noise when under load. Instead, I use bearing retainer like locatite 638 and never had a creaking BB anymore.

Beauty job. Not a knock on your work, but I noticed you used pliers to pull the spring back into place @ 5:20.

We avoid it in every single way we can, at great expense often taking a loss on jobs just to buy a puller for a one off bike. But in some cases you have to knock them out and life goes on with really little to know difference so a puller is always preferable but you can get away with carefully tapping them if it’s necessary 🧡
