Goed gedaan,

Thanks to this I found out my takara is a 79

I've watched a few of these videos now and no one mentions the K804 Indicator rod on the non drive side? Mine is missing on the bike I'm restoring so I was hoping for some correct installation info?

I have a Dunelt bicycle which has the name "Dunelt" formed into the front chainring. Is this a rare or valuable feature?

'I just want you to notice' that Evan is great at what he does. The explanations are unhurried and he seems to cover most things. I am familiarising myself with the correct names for all the parts so that if and when I need to take my hub apart I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm also getting a bit closer to understanding how the hub works. Very helpful, thanks for making the video!

Tires?

Did you try penetrant on that stubborn crank arm? Might have prevented stripping the threads. Sometime you have to let it work overnight or several days, and occasionally lightly hit the crank bolt (put back in) with a hammer to unstick things. Also it helps to make sure the puller tool is screwed all the way in to the crank so you get as much thread engagement as possible. As you know, the softer crank arm will strip more easily because it's aluminum, not steel. Sometimes you have to clean the threads to allow screwing all the way in until it bottoms out.

I'm glad I saw the video. I'm ready to overhaul my 1 piece also. I read that the loctite would be good on the threads of the cones. Medium strength. Didn't see you use it on the cone's threads. My crank came loose after heavy usage, especially the cones. Would you recommend loctite on them?

Great video. At 30:15 you forgot to tell the shifter pin should not completely be fixed in the hub. I have seen people trying to do so and damaging the thread inside. You tell that adding too much oil is not a problem. In Holland we usually have a drum brake inside and then you should not add more than 10 drops of oil.

Wow. This frame looks like what my father had in the 90s.

You can buy the springs online. Lots of places sell them.

GREAT WORK! new subs here.

What type of grease did you use for your headset and wheel bearings? Will mineral spirits work well to clean your chain?

Evan, What is the silver paint you used on the chain guard? It looks really nice.

Maybe some chrome fenders and chain guard and a package carrier 🤔

You did a fantastic job you make it look so easy.

can you build a cruiser bike to have higher gearing and hill climbing less trouble?

I have encountered those type of hub dust-cap before, but did not know they pulled right off like that. I'll give them more of a tug next time. I just got in there behind them, with a Q-tip as well as I could. You mentioned sometimes having to set the hub adjustment a few times before you get it right. This has been my experience, but I have found the head-set to be even more finicky. I wanted to ask you about the chain. Did you re-use the original chain? if so, how did you get it clean? With just the mineral spirits? It looked pretty far-gone beforehand. Thanks for the video and the tour at the end. I've never gotten to see Chattanooga.

Love the channel and the video. Congratulations.

Love your channel. You've inspired me to refurbish older bikes. I would love to see a close up of the finish product in all its glory, instead of a faraway shot.

Hi Evan, I'm still enjoying this bike I purchased from you. It is a pleasure to ride. The paint job you did on it really looks good especially in the sun. I enjoyed your paint job video you made on this bike as well.

Nice video editing. The bike pictures were inserted into the video seamlessly. Nice! It appears you have a photographers eye.

sturmey archer specifically says do NOT use grease....19.35 unnecessary, will be oiled under normal operation. mineral oil is fine. spring cap is not needed nor is washer under it. I assemble it dry (syops picking up dirt the oil it before assembling. pour in a couple of tea spoons of oil. Otherwise excellent presentation. should check inside of bearing part to make sure pawls have something to bite into. the fact that the oil leaks out means you have to keep checking it.

Greetings from Bristol. Thanks a lot. I have watched many vids on the subject , but the pace of your explanations is just perfect. I have done a few overhaul of the SA 3 speed hub. From time to time , I get a grinding noise coming from the hub when freewheeling even after having lubed every single component & almost drowned the internals with gearing oil. Any clues what can be causing that noise please ? Thanks

I just put in some new cotters, but although I was able to thread the nut on both, the cotter pins are still sticking up at the non-threaded end more than I see on other bikes. Should I file them down a bit?

I think the bike looks really good the way it is. On the other hand since the bike has already been touched up if you can get the decals and you can get the original color then you might want to redo it.❤

Great video with detailed information and visual aids. As always, I really enjoy watching your tutorials.

More action and less talk, doing is better than showing and not discussing it !

I have a question Evan, I have a total of 3 bicycles of unknown age, my question is how do I find what year they May of been built (1) Schwinn Mirada,(1) Giant Nutra, (1) Jamis Coda ? I just want a genera range of age of manufacture doesn’t have to be exact but a general range . ThankYou ( all given to me by friends with out papers)

Great video, but I’ve still got no clue how I’ve lost 3rd gear. It’s a newer disc version. It is however on my diy e-bike. I did lace it up to a 24” rim myself. A new hub is inexpensive enough, but would rather not replace, lace up another one. To be honest, I really don’t need third gear. Bike will do 30mph on a full charge in second gear. First and second gear work fine. If I had 3d, I could lower the ratio, larger cog, make it where bike would do 30 in 3rd and get UP the hill even easier. PS The speed limit on all main streets is just recently lowered to 30mph and residential streets to 20, down from 25. Any ideas on fixing my hub would be greatly appreciated.

Outstanding..Workmanship.

I took apart some never been dun they called it grandpa old garage oil service these things will run forever .

Good job evan i dun sturmey archer hubs red band bendx kick back hub yellow hub bendix coaster brake hubs shamino on a lot of hubs now

I worked at a bike shop for 6 years . Miss working on those old bikes

I can't believe you ruined that poor girls chain guard, and didn't even mention it. Should've had a little, "what not to do" segment, bud.

Nice and quite video of a trusty old bike! Not the lightest or fanciest bike but a reliable commuter :) I have several columbus steel frame bikes with chrome stays and upgraded them with newer components. What wax polish do you recommend?

At moment 9:30 in the video, you are putting two pins into a slot in the axel. It was not obvious to me what the pins did. Did they just keep the gear mech in a specific spot on the axel?

they make a puller for that in a bicycle tool kit from Park or Nashbar

How do you think it turned out ? Is there anything you would have done differently? It looks pretty good to me . Only you have to be very careful when painting on top of existing paint , sometimes a chemical reaction ? And sanding before the colour and clear varnish to give it a good key ? Personally i think i would just have made it gold with black around the back and front areas with the fade , not sure about the sponge affect ? But that's a personal thing. One thing for sure you made your own . I might give my old bike a fresh paint i will strip all old paint first which is a masive job I'm a painter & decorator, so not quite the same as this sort of painting , hopefully it'll turn out as good as yours.

great video. Very well communicated and explained. I really enjoyed it, congratulations from Spain

how you doing?~unreal done~catch you alter! Evan!))

Really like it even you do amazing job on your bikes keep up the good work i am definitely a subscriber

The serial number will let you know if it's authentic.

well done Sir good bike transformation :) I am very inspired.

Beautiful bike do u have a face book or instant gram or email I'd like to keep in touch with u Evan

That bike looks amazing Evan

I like what u did with grinding down the welds smooth

Wear can I buy that crank removal tool at or what's it called

That is lovely and vintage looking bar tape. Looks original. Nice job!

i thought you were going to show me how to measure that pin better
