Thanks for stopping by my KZread channel!
I have always enjoyed taking stuff apart and putting it back together. Even when I was a kid I had a talent for figuring out how things worked and how to fix them. I like to fix stuff. And I like to make videos. So I make lots of videos about fixing stuff. I work on bikes a lot. I work on my cars sometimes. I fix computers. I fix stuff around the house. And so I have lots of opportunities to make videos about how to fix stuff. Hopefully you will find my videos useful or at least entertaining. Maybe they will even help you fix your stuff.
Please subscribe to my channel and you will see new videos as they come out.

Thanks for posting this, it really helped
These things are like a clockwork, if it breaks you arent going to fix it yourself without machining some really small and specific part. And they are all being made with plastic and cheap thin aloy metals that wont resist anything
Thanks so much! I was looking for a guide to replacing my grip shift wire and this is my shifter!
You need my 21r.
This is exactly what I have to do. Thanks for your video.
yes, have to Tighten the free hub remove tool, to make it loose, that inner ring ! don;t forget everybody, tighten it will oosen it.
ooh i see now, when i got the hub off all the bearings fell down so first i thought there were 2 rings filled with total 50, but now i see were to place them, thanks alot, this was the right video for me ! fixed it and all together again, nice
Great video, but I would add that one very key piece of information should be emphasised: At 9:50 he says "screw [the cone] down until you feel it hits the bearings, AND JUST BACK IT OFF A LITTLE BIT". When I was putting everything back together I was tightening the cone. But the THE CONE NEEDS TO BE LOOSE. This will allow the axle to rotate. Took me a few assemblies/disassemblies to figure this out and I had to rewatch lots of times. I thought I had lost a part. But otherwise, THANKS!
The final pulling stage isn't really perpendicular to the chain so it halfway defeats the purpose of the concept, keep in mind that although traditional bikes waste torque at the crank stage but in the final pulling stage the chain is always perpendicular to the gear on the wheel. Also people don't get used to non-circular peddling.
Great video he goes through every jimyrig solution one after the other.
Just had this problem on a Shimano 12 speed Di2. I took it all apart, cleaned it up, and it’s running great. Thanks.
I recommend using a pencil instead of the screwdriver. And just erase the mark after. Very nice!
Thank you! 👍 Could you please make the same video for BB5?
Broke mine today. Yep shifed ton1 and it got caught in the spokes. Derailleur was a 9 speed on a 8 speed cassette Someone didn't adjust the screws to stop it from going an extra gear
You again prove why you are the best bike content creator on the internet.
In my country, the country I come from the chain length variation is calculated using a different method yet comes out with the same result. Add the two largest and two smallest possible sets and subtract the smaller number from the larger one. (They call me “Largest Cog”)
2:14 ah, I finally got it now, the space needs to be so the small deraileur cog moves individually from the bike's cogs without forcing one another into position. When they are too close the chain kind of forces one another into a fixed position.
I am going to give a try - looks reasonable enough. Since it worked for you, it should work for me. Nice Job.
Hi I am looking for a restauration course, I ride an old bike which was restaurated by a mechanic now I got asked if I could help someone to do a restauration, i would like to try it and need a course: do you know something or do you have a video on restauration course ? Best, Alen
Quite possibly the most useful video for bikes, on KZread.
Great information and organized. Thank you
Perhaps a silly question RJ: Could a single speed cog fit on a multi-speed freewheel body? I ask because i had rednecked a thing using a spare freewheel where it only had one cog on it and i'd fashioned spacers to keep it in proper line. Was considering if putting a proper single speed cog would be of any improvement since the teeth don't have narrow-wide profile and it isn't intended to shift.

144? People still sell things by the gross? Amazing.
Video too long, i just want to SEE how its done, not hear you talk about it for 10min. Im outside installing a bafang kit RIGHT NOW and im having issues. I needed a quick demonstration on how its done and your video is clearly NOT IT. I hate that i viewed an add you dont even deserve 0.001cent for wasting me the 5min i spent looking for the right 10sec of your video i actualy need. Fuck you and fuck tutorials full of talk
Thanks man.
Thank you for this very informative video. God bless!
when he says 'pressure' here, I think he means 'tension'?
thank you for the lesson.
Fixed, thanks. Loosened H screw in increments of a quarter turn and tested again. Three quarter turns fixed it.
Excellent 👍👍Greetings from Germany 🫶🏻
If anything happens with my old foldie's stem or headtube, I might have to do this. Good to know that this specific Profile Design adapter still exists 11 years later! There are cheaper Chinese-made adapters, but would you really trust those in exchange for being slightly more expensive?
Congrats ❤ - got that problem, too right now and hope there will be a solution on an earlier step.... really disastrous !
Its 2024 and im about to work on my bike, thanks for making this video if not because of you, my bike gonna be screwed
On the leftside crank arm you can maybe used a two arm wheel fuller...there are 3 arm wheel fuller that are designed to be easily converted to 2 arm
Could this create a chain line issue?
I serviced mine following your video. Now I’ve put the forks back together, the lock out won’t tighten. The outer 5 mm goes round and round. I’ve tried stripping forks down again, no luck. What is stopping the lock out side from fastening? Help
You are the best bike mechanics channel on KZread. I have watched your vids before. I could not work out if it was OK that the derailleur hanger causes the other side of the dropout to not be able to go all the way back (hangs out in the middle) I was getting a bit OCD about it but you alleviate that in this video. I was thinking to myself "Exactly how much force can that non drive side take until it gets knocked out of alignment?" the answer is probably a huge amount of force so I'll stop worrying about it lol. I tend to try and fix things that are not broken and I get worked up about irrelevant stuff instead of going out and enjoying my bike.
Great idea! I’ve been looking for a way to do it without bleach. I have a question though. Why not just turn the water off and flush the toilet to empty the bowl?
I have a Nexus 7 in my bike that I use for urban commuting. The shifting of gears is very pleasant when it works. Often it doesn't work. The adjustment of the cable on the grip shifter is tricky, and it doesn't provide the accuracy that the gear mechanism requires. The visual aid of aligning yellow lines is difficult to use because of dirt accumulation and scratching on the transparent plastic cover, which are impossible to avoid in everyday use. The problem sounds petty and superficial, but it can prevent the hub from working correctly when the cable gets adjusted wrong. That small but important detail looks like a case of thoughtlessness in design work, like a case of engineers not treating the user interface of their product as a serious design task. I bought the gear hub in 2017, I wonder if Shimano has done anything to fix those issues.
gonna try this out and hope it fixes my favourite furby model (and my first ever furby!), i'll update this later if i remember,, if i dont then thanks a ton 😋
This did not fail me, thank you!
Tnx, good to know it can be done, but what's the reason for upgrading.
Use a cotter pin press ar a makeshift one with ac clamp And a socket, works great and you can reuse the pins
Thanks 👍👍👍
I’ve got a Mongoose Hitch Fat Bike. My fixed cup is stuck. I don’t have a tool. I’ve tried a crescent but keeps slipping off. I might try using the pipe method.
Your videos are so good because you include everything that someone needs to know to do it right, and they are structured in a very understandable way. I just wish I had found your video on disassembling a Sturmey Archer Dynohub instead of the random one I found - then I wouldn't now have a Dynamo ring magnet with no magnetism! I have learnt my lesson; I check you videos before going anywhere else!
There are like 50 Utube vids saying much the same thing. If you are serious about teaching, try telling folk stuff they may not already know - what, why and how - explanations can inspire people to think, and even look after their bike a little better. You have to do better than this my friend.
Whenever I spin this B screw nothing moves
Takes off WHEELS ✔️, CUTES existing BRAKE lines ✔️, oh snap. I need to buy whole NEW WHEELS because my old WHEELS are also garbage. By the time you’re done converting. You would have probably been better off Buying a Mountain Bike that’s Equipped already with disk brakes!
