Wonderful, if you know of the vintage film ‘A Sunday in Hell’ the opening sequence shows a mechanic using one of these stands to work on Francesco Moser’s bike. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I have seen that film several times EM, but I don't remember that scene so I'm going to have to watch it again! Thanks so much for sharing this, made my day, can't wait to see it!! 🙏❤

Very cool video ! You should start a channel for people who still love bikes with mechanical shifting and rim brakes, especially Campy . You could describe how to get modern performance and comfort from these bikes for us fans. Thanks, Dave

Thanks a lot for watching and the great comment Dave, appreciate it and thanks too for the idea to start a new channel. There's only 1 of me though 🤣so I don't think I have the time to work on 2 channels. But, I do get video requests and I try to make them in a timely fashion so I am always happy to consider new video ideas. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic story, Jim. What an awesome story & beautiful piece of engineering, I love the way it clamps the frame & the added brackets to keep the front wheel still. So pleased you've left it in it's original condition, patina & all... Thanks for sharing Jim.

Thanks a lot Graham, so glad you enjoyed the story and stand!

Very nice! In the early 90s, my parents gifted me a stand sold by Performance bike that is similar to yours, only with square tubing and a spring loaded clamp. It has been in my home shop ever since and now I know why I love it. Its design was based off the Campagnolo stand that you have. Thank you for sharing

Could anyone help me figure out why my bmx bike tightened while pedaling hard uphill? its like pedaling hard tightened it al ll up. Chain is still lose, back wheel spins ok but the crank although i did loosen it up from the lock position its still tight and hard to move

@JimLangley1

11 күн бұрын

Some things to check: Is the chainring on the crank rubbing against the frame of the bike? It shouldn't be able to touch it but if it is touching it, something's wrong. If the crank won't turn by hand you should check the bottom bracket and make sure it's adjusted correctly. You said you loosened it up so it should turn easily. If not, maybe something broke inside. Or if you loosened it and then rode the bike when it was loose maybe that tightened the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket bearings have to be adjusted so the crank turns easily and there is no lateral play and then you must tighten it so it stays in that position. Hope this helps you fix it.

Ok thanks. Really appreciate the expertise and the quick reply. Im learning so I needed a place to start and I definitely think it’s the BB. I bought it used and assembled so it probably needs to be taken apart inspected and redone. I got it loosened slightly from a full lockup but its still highly restricted when i try to move it either way

@@Rah_Kyrillos I don't know what type of bottom bracket you're working on Rah, but if it's a 1-piece bottom bracket, also called an Ashtabula bottom bracket (here's a link to a photo: images.app.goo.gl/mziEvbZEuPig5Nuh6 ) - if it's this type, then the most likely problem is that you put the bearings in upside down. If you do that then the metal cage of the bearing (called the retainer) is against the metal bearing race. Metal on metal will bind and bind badly. What you want is the ball bearings (the round balls) to rest against the metal bearing races on both sides. This means the ball bearings face in towards the middle. Then the bottom bracket will spin nice and smooth. Be sure to clean the bearing races in the frame and the ball bearings and the retainers they're in and the other BB parts so that there's no dirt in there. And then put a nice coating of good bike grease (like Park Tool's) on the races and the bearing and reassemble and readjust. Before putting the crank back into the bottom bracket, be sure that you check the drive side cone on the crank. That's the one holding the chainring in place on these types of cranks. These are often loose and you want to make sure it's tight and cannot move. Hope this helps.

@@Rah_Kyrillos those have the same type bearings so it would be a good idea to check them too Rah - unless you are sure you put them in correctly. If you did put them in correctly, maybe you put the spindle (the BB axle) in the wrong way and the crank is now rubbing against the frame? (One side of the spindle is usually shorter than the other.) Or if it's not either of those issues, it could be that you have the cone upside down (the smaller diameter faces the bearing), or have not tightened the adjustable cone against the lock nut. If they're not tightened against each other, the bearing adjustment could change and even tighten when riding.
