Finally a MTB! It's so nice when you service a MTB, thanks for this lovely video! 😉
Thank you Saka! Hopefully more to come 🧡
I'm just now finding your channel.
As an aspiring bike and ski shop owner, I want to do maintenance like you do. It is better than any shop I've seen in my hometown, and you seem to really care about the client. Subscribed! And I hope to keep seeing more of this. Truly delightful.
Good luck with your venture, thanks for the kind words!🧡
Always surprised that bike owners don’t give their bikes a basic clean before they give them to you.
Exactly. Makes my eyes itch seeing the state some of these are in!
The person that washes their bike is usually not a customer who'll pay a shop for a service
Our philosophy is that unless the bike is spotless we’ll still have to do the exact same amount of cleaning, and if you’ve rebuilt it to the level of spotless there’s no point coming in. We love to see a dirty bike as it always makes for a better video!🧡
New favourite channel subscription right now. These are so satisfying to watch.
That’s great to hear!🧡
That smear of copper slip on the brake pads... well worth it. My brakes seemed to be clunking...felt at the levers. It was the brake pads sticking on the piston. Smear of copperslip... and it's never done it since. As you say... don't go overboard, just a smear. Crackin job as usual.
There you are!🧡
I almost want to go to the uk with my bike to get this guy service my bike, he's the best!! He really pay attention to details that is amazing
(French viewer here ;) )
Thank you!🧡🇫🇷
As always, love to see MTBs on the channel. Would love to see you guys service forks and rear shocks sometime!
If we get that work in we will but most of our customers come to us with road bikes it is really rare we do a full on rebuild of an MTB🧡
Thanks again for an entertaining bike cleaning Wednesday. Turned out shiny.
Thanks for watching and spending the time with us!🧡
Hello guys, Wednesday is my bikespeeds day 😊 I love to watch your videos and how the bikes come out like new again. Wish you a good night and a nice rest of the week! Greetings from Germany and until next week 👍🌞🍀😘
Hi Maik glad to see you’re still enjoying the videos! See you again tonight I’m sure!🧡
@@Bikespeeds yes, of course I watched the new video. A very nice bike again and I am excited how your shop looks after the things you will do in the next weeks. Greetings from Germany again and I will be here when you’re back 👍🌞🍀
I love Wednesday. Great content and love the MTB switch today. Great job and what a difference🎉
Thank you AJ!🧡
Love this videos and attention to detail. A true craftsman at work. Keep it up
Thanks very much we really appreciate the support 🧡
Super nice bike. Nice work 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!🧡
Good to use a floor pump and not an electric cylinder one as most shops near me use to save time and effort .
Marginal gains!🧡
While the clutch does have an o ring seal on the cover and shaft, I have found they can let in water (I think via the shaft seal) which causes corrosion and in one case for the clutch to jam and need full disassembly and repair. Given that, I personally wouldn't immerse them in the ultrasonic.
Great job as always. I bet the rider will really appreciate how much smoother it will be. I love the colour scheme of that bike too.
It was a different colour to normal and we love to see that! Thanks for the support🧡
Happy days ! Another pristine bike. Thanks for the vids Lee and Simon 👍
Our pleasure, thanks Kevin🧡

Congratulations! A masterfull work of art more than just maintenance on that beautiful Trek! Love to watch your videos.
Thank you Jorge! 🧡
Nice job!
I think Trek did a really nice job with this paint scheme.
Super fun and different which is what we love to see!🧡
Really a fantastic job on this service made the bike look brand new again.
Thank you Sam!🧡

❤ MTB.Thanks again!!!
No problem! Thank you🧡

great job
Thank you again!🧡
Love this vid, I'm currently building a souped up trek Marlin, I had the frame lying around, and I noticed it had a square taper bottom bracket too. I think it's just a think with pricing, however it was a plastic one and an absolute nightmare to get out because the splines were all shredded... Brrr, glad thats over
I have a 2009 Trek 4300 which was too small for a friend who purchased it as an impulse buy several years ago . I built him a Giant Yukon custom whereas the 4300 was rebuilt with high quality components . It rides like a dream now and looks great . It can be seen on Google images at Fulcher's Cyclery in Panania , Australia .
Good luck with the build!🧡
Another solid service 😎🇫🇮
Much appreciated Dean!🧡🇫🇮
Still lovin’ your content.
Thank you Paul!🧡💪🏼
I really wish I could fix a bike like you
Quality service there. What would this one have cost?
Routine service! it looks brand new again :-)
Haha it was routine in the sense we didn’t do any other extra work🧡
wow beautiful work. I have this same bike, where can I find all of the torque specs for it?
Thanks for another good video. How do you prevent the sonic cleaner from damaging the anodising of the various components you put in it, what degreaser do you use and what do you use cleaner wise when washing off the sonic bath fluid with the scrubbing brush. Thanks
We’ve not had problems, we use regular heavy duty degreaser and wash off with fairy liquid 🧡
hey, just a quick question. I like that type of cranksets on the bike in the video. I wanted to buy a similar pair for my track bike but I cant seem to find them. Can you provide some sites where they might be available?
Outstanding job as always guys bike looks brand new. What grit sandpaper do you use on the rotors? Thanks again looking 👀 forward to next weeks video. Cheers 🍻
Around 100 grit🧡💪🏼
What would you suggest to get a BB off similar to that, which I have pretty much sheared the teeth off so the tools slipping out and not getting any purchase.??
Great job! I feel like most bike shops don’t put this much effort and care into their work so it’s nice to see that you do! How much would a service like this cost?
Thanks very much! We don’t share our prices online as they vary so much bike to bike but glad you enjoyed the episode!🧡
I own this bike a 2023. I have to say that person sure gets his use of that marlin 7, mine is spotless with o wear on it, I just use it casual light trails or road. i have 2 trek Sessions downhills one a 9.9 carbon, They get dirty like that.
Awesome! Enjoy it 🧡
Love the vids!! What sandpaper do you use to clean up the disc brakes?
Around 100 grit🧡
Wondering on some of these bikes you work on with the caked up gunk on the jockey wheels - do you ever suggest to your customers to try a different lube or to at least periodically clean the jockeys and chainring (I assume there might be a build up there as well)? Enjoy the videos, keep it up!
We do! Glad you’re enjoying all the videos and thanks for dropping us a comment🧡
How much do you charge for a full service like this? Per replaced part and a fixed sum for work?
Great service. I gather it's not worth the time and effort to pull apart the hydraulic brake lever and deal with the binding? Thanks for your great videos.
For the price of time vs the price of a new part it was the better option, thanks David!🧡
Hello! What number of sandpaper do you use for the discs?
Around 100 grit🧡
What did you put in the wash water? I’m looking to do the same.
Just fairy liquid!🧡
How much do you charge for standart service?
Owner brings in a rough brick and pushes out a well oiled smooth machine
Lol!🧡⚙️
what was the reason for replacing the brake lever, was it that it was at fault or did the system just need bleeding?
The lever had lost its “springiness”🧡
👍
Wow
💪🏼🧡
Hey mate, does it annoy you a little that owners don’t at least wipe it down a little before they give it to you? Or is this normal and expected?
Absolutely not, unless the bike is spotless we still go through the exact same cleaning process so it makes no difference to us. Not to mention it makes for a great video!🧡
@@Bikespeeds That’s true. Appreciate the reply. Been enjoying your vids lately. Cheers
Watched this again today - ever so slightly embarrassing how dirty it was 😮
Makes for a good video we always prefer a dirty bike!🧡
it feels like he's never been served at all
Could be!
thats a brand new bike after 50 km in the mud, how can BB need replacement? not a single mark shows bike beeing used enough to replace BB.
Fitted poorly originally 🧡
I recondition hydraulic brake levers as I have extra parts for them which this shop probably didn't have . I do special builds for people .
Hi, a question, 6:09 why didnt you advise your customer to get rid of that square BB junk and replace with hollowtech or dub 1 with 1x crank?
I mean this stuff is so old and so outdated then its pointless tomake those anymore. that tech is as old as dinosaours.
Square taper BB in modern bike. Why, why, whyyyyyyy???
Not bad gets job done
Still used on many touring bikes. More common worldwide and is quite nice being able to get different axle lengths for alternative q factors.
@@oiuqreofnqoiruegnqerg what’s not?
@@brian_jake yes it is but I personally prefer Shimano BB. Simple and long lasting
@@BigBanana55 I believe it is but it is so old standard and cheap too. Why to put it on modern bike of 1000€ with 1x setup, It don’t fit in my eyes
👍
Thank you!🧡
