Thanks for this. I've set up rear mech fine but the app on iphone 6s isn't showing the battery levels. Any idea why Thanks

At our local Bikes for the World charity, a frame with a stripped crank would be scrapped without being able to salvage cranks or bottom bracket. A tool like this would improve the "harvest" of parts for 3rd world bike programs.

this one is fully wireless like the Sram AXS?

👍🚴👍🚴👍🚴

I have seen other more complicated crank arm pullers. I like this one for its simplicity. As to @jeffjeffjeff's question you can get threadedinserts from J.A. Stein to re-tap and thread in a repair insert. Thanks for the simple solution.

these seat post vids are so satisfying man thanx

Hi, we like your jig design, when we built ours we did build one with the hydraulic system but we found that it was difficult to measure the amount of force we had going through the frame, we changed it to the trapezoidal lead screw which gave us much more of a sense of impending frame doom allowing us to stop the pull when needed. We have had great success with it but carbon frames are another beast.

Great to see my Ritchey featured in your channel! 🙌

Wouldn't the crank arm already be destroyed if you ripped the threads out? What's the reason to try to save it from further damage?

Because if you follow this video he is not using the alignment for the flutes, therefore the negative angle... This video is wrong.

dog eats loom, dog eats the loom, dog eats eats loom oh oh

good idea, nice one.

What size square steel tube did you use?

I def do.. Having trouble lol

What are you using as collars on the seatpost?

When having a bicycle shop back in the U.S. every once in awhile I'd receive a repair that was with a stuck seat post, so one day I decided to service the seat post and seat tube on every single repair, the cost of this work was adjusted into my servicing charges to the tune of $ 5.00, I'd pull the seat post out clean and lube then clean out the seat tube with an American made flex hone, I tried using the same spring loaded hone as you are using for myself it simply will not do the job as nicely as I would like. I'm now living in Holland and I'll l have a small shop over here and I'm performing this process over here as well.

Excellent work ! Thank you !

The Ritchey thumbnail is click bait. 😂 I thought it was a logic with a stick seatpost not a made in China On One.

Why do the posts seize up so badly? Is it because the alloy post reacts with a steel frame or what?

This is what happens when you don't grease a seat post when installing it.

Inspired by Phil Vandelay?

Paul Vandelay had one of these operational just before COVID 19 hit . Cyclus had a handle actuated one out in 1996 . My old boss had one .

Nifty that!

Better way . Put old cups in the bottom bracket, place a bar through the cups. Drill a hole in two ceiling joist and hang the frame by the bar through the BB. The bar runs through the hole in two joist. Drill a hole through the seat post from the side. Secure a steel 1” x 1/4” U bracket secured to a slip hammer or secure a 1” round rod to the U bracket. Bolt or weld a plate to the rod. Use a 5 pound weight as a drop weight

Is the frame ever trashed by the seat post being stuck in?

that's a nice machine you got there

Nice vid and nicely made piece of kit. Jealous of your workshop.

I've used the system for 1,000 miles and I'd say your undestanding is excellent. I adopted pretty much the same mathematical approach. However, I have found that what works in the stand isn't necessarily quite so good under load out on the road. So I make a note whilst out riding of any clicky noises or less than perfect changes and tweak when I get home. Hell I've even tweaked at the cafe stop! One further enhancement is the ability to adjust the 3 settings for each chainring (one setting is for moving between chainrings, and there's a setting each for trimming between the lower 6 cogs and the higher 6 cogs). But you do need Wheeltop to grant you permission to tweak these. Get it right and it's a very sweet system.

What a debacle… not much cheaper if customers have to send it off to someone to set up😂 Adjusting each rear cog suggests there is something wrong with your cassette, chain, frame or derailleur hanger.

The problem is no one follows the directions. After pairing you start on page 16 and learn the parts. Like the J adjustment😉. FD install is on pg 37 and 43. It’s simple. RD install and initial alignment is on pg 45. Inter the app and assign the cassette you are using. Now enter initial calibration. Remember that J screw adjustment? How many started there first? Set your J screw per instructions and fine tune in the app. Now exit initial calibration and set the limit screw D minimum. Now shift into the largest cog. Now you adjust the B screw for 8mm clearance from the largest cog. Now set limit screw E maximum. (You may need to enter the app and fine tune this gear now) Now you fine tune the rest of the cassette in the app. It’s not that hard but knowing this process is key.

I contacted they customer team and they sent me a guidebook, I think it's quite useful for setup. drive.google.com/file/d/1fKJRM8IaJegOyWUQQ2X_GakPNPCXuuzW/view

that's rather interesting but i wish they made the config file available and editable with a regular computer. those tablets seem to have an operating system update every week, the old programs stop working, and unless you keep an old tablet handy for this it may make adjustments in the future more complicated than they need to be

Yours is the first I've seen successfully using a hydraulic cylinder rather than a ballscrew. Thanks for sharing the walkthrough.

reeet urr arrr booooorrrrrrr

MacGyver. You got a brilliant mind

Now make one for the driveside...

Nice. Who makes the bearing gauges?

Nicely done! I love the espresso tampers and the home made BB and freewheel tools. A few years back I used to work in a coffee/ Bike shop in Denver and the main tamper was from Chris King and made to look like their headsets. Also, Check out EVT for a good stubborn BB cup tool. Theirs threads together to clamp any cup and you can really abuse them. I once had a wrench on it with a 6 foot pipe for one especially stubborn cup. And, as much as I like the home made wheel holder, I tried the Park one and I'm not sold on it. I find it a bit too wobbly. I still haven't found anything more effective that wedging the wheel between my gut and a bench for rotors and cassettes and on my lap for tire installs.

Nice bit of kit. Impressed! Strangely satisfying watching the removal video too. Subscribed hoping for more :)

Great ideas. 👍

Your laser stem tool would work much better with a line laser.

Didnt realise they could get so bad!

Very cool.

Wow - mean tool.

Great stem tool 👌🏻

Wow! Didn't know you could even sharpen these!

Nice measuring tool.

How about how you do a full service on a bicycle ? Like your process and your take on it everyone has different approaches so would be interesting to see yours 😊

thx for this tip. i have a motobecane grand tour bike where the non drive side crank arm´s thread is totally worn and i was thinking about removing the whole bb and just bang out the axle softly with a mallet.

neat
