Just a minor thank you. Watching these videos helped give me some confidence to try and fix a non-working front mech. I didn't actually fix it, but my mechanic had slightly less to do. I'll class that ad a personal win!

Great timing, we got our son his first bike in november, which is a trek marlin 5. It's due i little lite servicing after the wet winter we have had in the UK. This videos going to be a great indicator on what to look out for and how to prolong its life. Cheers.

do you have any tips for removing stuck bottom brackets? I have an alu frame bike with a shimano 20t spline BB and it just won't budge. soaked in WD40 for 2 days, 2ft breaker bar, 2 day of soaking in cola too!

You could try it with a impact driver. With this tool you can press on the nut well (so it don't come off and destroy the spline) and the impacts may loosen the BB. Remember they go out in the way you pedal

I’m happy to help comments and likes are easy & the least I can do.

Is there any chance you could share the torque specs for all the parts on the bike? I tend to look each one up and different sites have different settings sometimes. If all the info was in one place, it'd be real helpful.

@unohoncho7727

Жыл бұрын

5nm for everything non weightbearing in my opinion and around 10nm for weight bearing i.e. Seat/seat post/crank/bars) - Most I'll torque with carbon is 8nm and that is only as the frame states 6nm to 8nm max

The best thing you can do is look them up. Components can be vastly different even on what would seem the same specced bike it’s worth checking your own🧡

Noice.

I’ve recently come across your channel (and subscribed!) and just wanted to say what a great job you seem to do. Very in-depth with your services. I myself work in a bike workshop and do the best I can every time, but I certainly ain’t to your standard. Waiting to start my Cytech training, just wanted to ask out of curiosity as to what your service charges are?

Hi great video. Do you get many e-bikes in for service.

@Bikespeeds

Жыл бұрын

Not many in our area but occasionally 🧡

Love the bike design kzread.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

Do you ever have to service the shifters at all ?

In my experience, indexed shifter only need servicing once the lubricant within them dries and they don't work well.

So, I've got a Trek Marlin 6 from 2016. I've been thinking of update/rebuild it because its a bit shredded. Is it worth it, or should I find a better frame?

Hi Guys, I have watched a few of your videos and have learned a lot from you about looking after a bike. One thing I haven't seen in any of your videos is a breakdown/rebuild of the front shocks (forks). Is this because they are not serviceable, or it's not economically viable? I don't think I have ever seen you having to replace a set of shocks neither. Would appreciate your thoughts. Love the videos, I can see a lot of effort goes into creating them. Keep them coming!!
