Micronew R7 brifter and Tektro R559 brake review | Cheap gravel bike items
Worked splendidly. Thank you.
Any of these trails emtb friendly?
I have cable cutters - just can’t find them! 😂
Great tip had a air cut-off tool in my toolbox and didn't think of it
Recommend: Begin video by showing what the tool looks like with a bike on it.
What brakes do these shifters work with? I have them on my bike and I’m using some disc callipers, but the levers feel very loose and I’m not getting the brake power and response I was expecting. I’m not sure if it’s the levers, the pads, or the rotors.
Nice! Love that it folds out of the way when not in use
A couple notes on these components: First, the Tektro R559 brakes are their long reach version. Don't buy this model unless you need the long reach. Tektro has two other shorter reach models that will work better on many applications. Second; I bought the Micronew 7 speed brifter to use with their 7 speed rear derailleur, and found that I could not get the indexing to work well with a 7 speed freewheel. Each shift moved the rear derailleur a little to far for the 5 mm spacing of a seven speed freewheel. So I tried them with a six speed freewheel and the indexing is great. So there is a problem with the cable pull ratio in one of the components. If the seven speed brifter works well for this guy, it is probably because he is not using it with the Micronew rear derailleur. Third; if the Micronew brifter and rear derailleur work well with a six speed freewheel, they should also work with a five speed freewheel, since the cog spacing is 5.5 mm on both five and six speed freewheels.
I used a large fizzy drink bottle covered in duct tape for the roller. That is basically free.
Hey bud, you still have that gravel bike? How did the brakes/R7 hold up?
Name of last one
some bike products are just stupidly overpriced like these muc off covers. more like f*ck off i'll do it my self covers lol
Thanks
Perfect video 🧠 😊😊
Nice. I'm heading out there to ride soon. Want to join me?
Thank you this is really helpful. Now I just have to learn how to make a small tetter totter
Don’t have the tools
Terrific idea, thank you! Liked and subscribed.
yAWn!
Thanks for this! Some great ideas, and simple 😊
cool vid. i have done this for years with amazon bags and voile straps. i used to use USPS priority mail envelopes when waterproof wasn't essential.
Money! Absolute genius!!
Thank you! REQUEST: make a video where you convert a derelict car into a bike shed in the cheapest way possible. This will be useful for people in apartments with car park spaces and no bike park spaces. You will need to pay for a towing company to bring you the car, but maybe you can sell parts to help pay for the costs.
Thank you for this!! I just wanted to share a tip...I did this using a plywood scrap to cut against, and also midair... just holding the cable steady. The second actually gave a cleaner cut without the smooshing.
That sewing was cute 🪡
Those bike in a box are not adjusted from the factory usually, you need to do a full tune up, brakes, bearings/grease, chain tension, etc.
The drivetrain "crunchyness" is because the chain is too tight, the freewheel and chainring are not perfectly round, you need to find the position where it's tight and losen/re-tighten the rear wheel, rotate and repeat until youve found the sweet spot
Thank you for sharing your knowledge...this is a very easy example and it helps tidy up my bicycle at home.
What if I fix the piece for roadbike like the MTB piece. Would it be able to hold the roadbike in regular position?
Hi, honestly I haven't tried it that way but I don't see why it wouldn't work...

Having a really hard time finding 6" PVC anywhere.
I would switch to chest mount camera. Viewpoint too high which makes it look like a drone, especially with the stabilization
Simple is cool
Wonder if that pvc will hold me up im around 230-240 depending on the day
Спасибо . Смотреть на скорости 2X .
Pvc pipe idea is genius could you do it so it could swivel?
Keep it up brO 🤙😎👍🤟✌️💪 do more hack videoS
🧡💚🤍
why did you not show the final result? super suspect of this working from a less than one minute video of a theory in action with no result.
Shoot, I just bought like 3 lbs of TAilWind…
Gonna try this with som crangrape juice 🥤
I grew up in Prescott back in the age of iron and steam (PHS class of "76) and am coming over in November to ride. None of these trails existed then. So, this video was precisely what I was looking for. Thanks.
tubes make great rim tapes ,youd never get a underside rupture ever when u use this instead of tape
1:28 , AKA face pulls , for the posterior deltoids ,but how you grip it isnt good for that movement , many people get it wrong :)
Park cycles removed the video you linked (and I needed)!
