This was the reason why I left my job as a bicycle mechanic at an official Trek store in Belgium. Few professionals have the ability and desire to provide excellent service. Unfortunately, my boss never let me work as deeply as you do on a complete and assertive review of the bike. The philosophy was to carry out the services as quickly as possible... without paying attention to detail... I didn't have a clear conscience when I left the store and realized that I could have done a better job on the customer's bike, if work could be done correctly how you do it.

Excellent video. One thing to note on the Trek Rail however is to pay attention to the battery catch and make sure it’s properly lubricated. I used to remove my Rail battery to charge it and dry it after cleaning. Unfortunately I went out for a ride and as I dropped off the kerb on the way to my usual route, the battery dropped out of the housing and went bouncing down the road, damaging the casing. I discovered the battery catch hadn’t engaged fully and it wasn’t properly holding the battery. Fortunately the battery itself wasn’t compromised.

@wrcompositi An MTB e-bike ant its core is effectively an underpowered dirt bike that you can pedal manually on occasion. Buy a dirt bike and don’t maintain it with regular work on the suspension and braking similar to that shown in this vid and pretty soon you’ll be seeing a dentist for teeth repair or you’ll have a wall ornament. These types of rides by their nature demand a good deal of regular maintenance to run properly. For some that is acceptable and for others it is not.

I loved everything in this video because it really did show how extensive and complex servicing these bikes has become. Unfortunately, lots of people still only want to pay a pittance to their LBS (local bike shop) when little do they realise the knowledge, the tools and the care that is required. I bike mechanic these days has to have expertise in mechanical servicing, along with hydraulics, and now electrical/electronics skills. The LBS also needs an expensive, wide range of tools. One thing that made me shudder was the Peaty's Mint and Shine spray you spurted around to do your final polish. OMG! After all that hard work you probably got a greasy film all over the brake discs! One tip that I'm going to follow in the future is, I am going to take my battery out more often to check for moisture and make sure my wiring harness is free of dampness and grime.

I do all my servicing and strip downs myself- just rebuilt my Pikes and Monarch RL fully (new bladder in the Pikes)...The motor is the only bit I won't touch but just send it off to be rebuilt (I've watched Pete Collards videos- makes it look simple but without a hydraulic press and all the bits forget even trying!!-I'm not sure I'd degrease my Gen 2 CX in a bath though, they are pretty awful at keeping water out especially the NDS, let alone degreaser!)...But your service is great value, when you consider the bike/manufacturer specific tools you need to acquire for doing this it gets mega expensive....and that's not even considering the knowledge, skill, confidence and experience you need. A rebuild of my motor is £315, I'll happily pay that as my van tax was about £250 and you get nothing for that... a rebuild ensures another few years happy biking!!

I've rebuilt my ebike like a year ago completely after a repaint, the dropper setup also caused me a good few hours, and had to take the mot rin and out like 4 times, to have the best routing for it.

Amazing!! Good job!! I hope found a bycicle mecanic like you!! Today something normal is exeptional...

As a mechanic myself, I applaud your attention to detail. The one thing I personally have switched from is back to standard stainless steel cables. In my opinion, the slick cables are more brittle and prone to kinking,, especially when gear cables have to make torturous bends inside shifters. Standard cables are more supple and (in my mind) the the "rough" surface allows the cable to hold onto lube.

I'm glad I can do 80% of this by myself $$$ !!! Proper job anyway ! 👊 Good trick about the dropper cable length while routing it to give enough flex and adjustability. But I'm not spraying anything on bikes to avoid contamination and pollute less, there are always non-spray alternatives.
