I've had same problem with Shwalbe Crazybob on my Mavic's rim (Mavic325) That depends of inside ø tire and there are not same standards with small differences

Hello 🇨🇦 How much was the truing stand with the base ?

its not a fixie if it has breaks

Them ring wrench blow 😢😂

Nice! Now I am searching for a cheap trainer lol. Always wanted to learn truing and wheel building but do not really have to funds for park tool truing stand. Oh new sub from me as well.

The reason why it's just called freewheel fixie.

Good one

This song is so distracting. The guitar and 808's are off beat with each other

Looks oddly familiar

It killed me when you put the freewheel on misleading title!

“You could get SCAMMED if you don’t know this is here” no, it’s called knowledge. You pay a bike shop for their tools, time, and talent. Tools such as a torque wrench. Talent such as not clamping on the top tube. Also, your barrel adjuster is SUPER far out. You’ve gotta find a new shop. Our shop only sells parts if you actually need them. It’s very uncommon that we replace derailleurs. Front derailleurs are a pain to work with. At least your tire wear point is somewhat accurate. The two holes are different depths. Once the first hole disappears, it’s a sort of warning. Once both are gone, they need replacing.

I won’t take advice from ANYONE clamping a carbon frame by the top tube and not using a torque wrench. Thats NOT how to work with carbon. Any bike shop worth its salt should have free estimates or free appointment consultations. This isn’t “bike shop scams” this is basic bike maintenance anyone can learn… Not sure what shop you went too/or worked at but this is not the right tone to have with this. Here is an idea. Price shop menus 45-60 min from your house and chose accordingly.

You seem to have a really low opinion of bike shops, perhaps you’ve been scammed at some point but I think this is a really unfair way to portray them by suggesting everything is a scam. Many jobs on bikes are quite simple but that doesn’t mean that we should always assume we should do them ourselves because a shop will scam us, at some point even the best home mechanic will more than likely require the services of a good shop. Your point about bolts being undone so far and then done back up the same amount is no excuse for not using a decent torque wrench, it’s just good practice to use the right tools for the job, your way assumes the bolt was at the correct setting to start with which is hugely flawed. Finally what you did with that chain dropping it to the inside of the chainrings onto the paint and turning the cranks….🤦 I’m glad you’re not working on any of my bikes.

Sounds like you went to some shady shop.

I need help, so I mechanic,,,,they come

I lasted 4 minutes in to the video when i saw you not use a torque wrench for the carbon seat post and as already mentioned by others clamping a carbon top tube in a work stand. Please stop doling out bad advice and leave the bicycle maintenance to the professionals.

Guy needs to look up the word “Scam.” The only Scam is losing 12 minutes of my life watching this garbage. What a 🤡

Some good tips. Also watch out for bike shops that don't let you know what you need just go ahead and replace parts on you. Some bike shops will even remove you're high performance parts and put on cheap ones if you aren't careful. I've had fellow Cyclist having these experiences. Even I've had this happen and requested my parts be put back. I try to do as much of my own work on my own bikes because of this. Slowly building my cycling tool set.

Good tips every bike owner should be aware of. There are so many things the average rider can learn to maintain themselves!

Don't forget to PROVE your claims on that top tube clamp gripe, don't just parrot! In the meantime, Check this recent reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1duwhfh/bike_repair/

Holy crap this video is full of absolutely terrible advice. Who call's Aksium wheels "Expensive"? I don't get how any of these are "SCAMS" - bring your bike into a bike shop extremely dirty (which makes it super annoying to work on/fix). No bike shop would re-dish a whole wheel without checking alignment.

First off, you do not put bike on stand via the top tube.

It amazes me that it costs more to service a bicycle than it is to service a car.

I've been searching for content like this! Subscribed, and I'm ready to believe in myself! - "Self-belief is your greatest strength."

I know what YOU would do ;)

Bro if the helmet wasnt on hed actually be dead😊

The ending reminds me of the wild west days of the internet. Gonads and strife!

My guess is the inner housing wasnt machined perfectly so the bearings dont sit flat so she turns to the lowest spot

Hello sir what is this to use to up the stem please name this component

Gordon, why isn't that wrapped

What is a helmet going to do

Tf a helmet gonna to agaknst that😂 the injury is on his sid

I have heard about trailing spokes going under instead of over or vice versa is it necessary?

unsafe

Przed pierwszym użyciem należy "kliknąć" 4-5 razy ustawionym momentem aby sprężyna się rozgrzała.

Thanks for the video. I agree with everything except for needing to unwind the spring to the lowest torque value everytime you store it. I dont know if you mean storing it for 3-6 months sure it is good advise because of spring memory and such but if you are going to use it the next day it wont really make a big difference.

Grease?

Is it right direction? Two of my dicta freewheels open to counter clockwise. Those are ones that have notches for removal tool on other side. One dicta freewheel I have doesn't have notches for removal tool and it opens to clockwise direction.

Don't need a tool to install just pedal

Thanks to all for the support!

I have little experience with torque wrenches but shouldnt you hold the torque wrench at the handle to ensure torquing the bolts to the spec. Like the park tool demonstrates. th-cam.com/video/BPe1-bDFVRM/w-d-xo.html

No clue why the best quality playback is 360p lol!

You should have released this video before I ditched away building that single wallled 36 holed(later drilled to 32) wheel with disc hubs

Keep the Spokes Sorted if you're going to reuse them, in addition to the drive/nondrive length sorting. Keep in mind which spokes were Inbound vs Outbound spokes. In's vs Outs develop a different bend at the head after being used, and if you mix those up in the new lacing they'll be prone to breaking there.

😮‍💨

I got confused as to which one you judged to be best.

i had the same problem on my merida and the mechanic only used a carbon gripper paste. it's been about a year now and i have not had the same problem ever since. watching pro bike builds on youtube as well, i've seen that most of them do the same.

Thanks for the support, everyone!

i had the same issue... the original plug is too short, it doesn't hold properly.... i tighten too hard until the tube is slightly crack.... my solution is to replace/use a longer plug.... (more holding surface = more secure)

The knurled plug you removed on the right is totally bone dry. How do you expect the wedges to expand the collets outward against the inside of the steerer tube, and the bolt to turn properly if the threads and everything else are bone dry? When you "tighten" the bolt with the blue Park allen tool, you're trying to overcome the sum of all the friction in the threads, bolt head and expansion wedges. Oh and additional friction caused by accumulated corrosion on the bare metal. It was probably never tight enough to begin with. Another example of how failing to use proper grease at assembly results in problems. I imagine this bike has myriad problems resulting from poor initial assembly. A tale as old as time in the bike industry.
