'All you need is a set of allen keys' proceeds to use a torx key on several of the bolts...
awesome video though 👍
My mistake!!! Caught me by surprise... :P
I'm 46 and just getting into mtb. Your channel is fantastic for me and have learned a lot.
That's awesome to hear :)
First 30 seconds had me laughing. "In the winter months, when the mud's coming up" LOL. I live in Northern Canada. we don't have mud in winter. just ice and snow.
Lol same, NWT is rough
YEAAAAAAAH HARD-TAIL WEEK!
would have been great to see how the fresh grease was applied
MrJohnQCitizen the grease is only for water and dust protection. It is not senful to regrease sealed industrial bearings. Just replace them
Awesome video I am a 57 year old newbie with a Diamondback Sync'r not as cool as your bike but a lot of fun. Learning a lot from GMBN. Keep up the good work!
Mark Twain you are lucky cuz I have a £95 bike
KRASH BRO'S Is he lucky or does he have a job?
That intro... *"Hey up guys"* 😂😂
Great Video! One thing i will add though is the thought of doing some more advanced things. As a mechanic i am always happy to learn some more about bikes.
Thanks GMBN! The best idea to have a specialized week on different bike systems. I have solve many doubts on my hardtail (I did not know it was that the name of mine) bike!
Great vid, planning some winter rides on my hardtail and want to keep it running smooth.
more hardtail videos!
Very helpful walk through. Thanks.
Love Gmbn videos guys keep it up!😀
lovinf yr videos guys..thx for all the help..tips really works.i alredy had a GT zaskar carbon when i started watching u guys..now i got a SANCTION at the beginning of 2017..I put xx1 eagle groupset on aswell..riding great now
Love that Canyon Exceed!
Awsome and informative Vlog. Learned how to deal with my weekly dutie on 2 bikes. I fell that just need to buy a Bike Stand to start to do it at home.
Thanks !!!
I haven’t seen this presenter before. He made a really good walk-thru video. Thanks.
I would like to see more how and where you apply the grease when you before putting everything back together. the video helped for the most part but I am a step by step kind of guy.
Scotty mate cheers for that.
it would be awesome if you guys put the bike used in the video in the description. Helps a lot and you wouldn't need to tell it to everyone asking. I love the channel cheers guys.
This is Scott's Canyon Exceed!
Great video
heyhey,hardtail week,it's great
Awesome vid
great video
IT'S HERE! IT IS FINALLY HERE!
TOP TIP
Put a spacer in the brake caliper when you take it off. That way if you hit the brake by accident you don't end up having to rebleed the brakes because you pushed the cylinder out of the piston. That would be bad.
got the same awesome bike, only the X01 version!
want that bike soo much!!!
yeah guys more hardtail videos
I've always liked scott but he's gotten even better at commenting his work in how tos or reports
Great Video and... you've got me there😏
+Global Mountain Bike Network you guys should pick up a hardcore aggressive steel hardtail to thrash around on! Would make for some fun videos too
My bike developed creaks at the mounting points of the rails to the saddle. Solved it by applying lube into them.
sweet sweet hardtail content
9 times out of 10 if your bike has a creak its your seat post...
actually on my bike its more often the headset or the bottom bracket
bottom bracket for me too
Yea ive got that seatpost problem, any tips on how to fix it?
+Hayden just needs lube just make sure its right one for the contact materials
saddle rails for me
Now winter is on its way can you do a video on winter tyres and set up ?
When you take your brake calliper off leave all the bolts & washers in place, make sure you can see the threads and pull an elastic band tight across them, holds it all in place until you re install... :)
I’m new to mtb, and wondering if I can use any kind of grease, let’s say like red and tacky Lucus grease? Your TH-cam channel is very helpful.
4.07 i always make noises like that too 😂
I use my hardtails (and fully rigid bikes) a lot more than the full sus bikes. Much more efficient, lighter, simpler, less to go wrong and cheaper and easier to keep running. Been running hardtails & fully rigids since 1970s + various full sus bikes since early 1990s & I still have way more fun on the hardtails :-) There are very few places out here in the sticks that really need the full sus to get a good run, They are a bit more of a workout on the hartdtail but still do-able and still proper great fun when You pull off a nice clean run :-)
Hard tail is life. :)
ang ok ready now bring me my bike back :-)
Nice hairstyle, Scotty
Take the Damn sticker of the rotor Scotty!
I'm jealous for that real axle. Those looking neat.
YourNickIsTaken hahah must suck having a 15mm bolt on wall goose
hey GMBN, can I have that FOX fork at the back of your shed? thanks!
No mention of the bottom bearing on the headset? Grimy!
Did you put back the plastic retention clip on the crank?
Torx?
What grease should I use for the bearings on the headset?
doing this is probably the biggest mess up in this month im lost 1 bareing
What was that bike one piece multitool? The second one?
I just bought a Scott aspect 750 . Did I do OK for a first mountain bike?
Hardtales !!!
How often do you need to do all this?
#AskGMBN
Is there a Interbike/Eurobike event in Australia?
anyone know what watch he's wearing????
How often should i do this?
#askgmbn I am riding a kona nunu hardtail 100mm front suspension and single speed bike for pretty much anything as its the only bike I can afford I have done a couple rig ups like I created a chain tensioner as my derailleur hanger bent and have improvised a disc brake mount for the rear so I am asking is there anything I can do to help improve my bikes performance and general feel
if my bike see this video it will kill me
was that clutch still engaged when you pulled out that back wheel scotty?
The Clutch was disengaged!
GMBN can i PLEASE get that fork back there on the shelf ?
Looks like an Evolution CTD, I just upgraded to this... super sweet..
#askgmbn What is the multi tool used at 5:03 and 5:45?
Should be titled,, "headset and bottom bracket service"!
askgmbn#My cassette is moving right and left a little bit, any suggestions?
Quick question, what are you using to clean the parts once striped? Do you use degreaser or just wipe it clean with a rag?
If it is bad I will use a degreaser otherwise just a cloth maybe a old tee-shirt!
I am little bit suprised that he use only allen keys, there is any bolt to be tight with torque wrench?
SCOTTY! Y YOR BIKE NO CLEAN????
Dang, you spotted that mud! ;)
I'm curious, I didn't see any new lube added after the old lube was wiped off.
Where is this year's hairtail week
My bike got rust like insane. Its annoying and i rarely ride it in wet weather lol. And it have dirt inside the frame xD
Okay, thank you, i'ma try your idea :-)
Can u please tell me what kind of bike u have I may be looking into getting one
The bike in this video is a Canyon Exceed
What happens when you dont add grease plz send reply
DO A GIVEAWAY PLEASE
OF A NICE FORK OR DROPPER POST OR SOMETHING !!!!!!!
Jamie Green hungry ass bitch only here for stuff go get a job
Mr Cow a/q
I own 2 hardtail mountainbikes
Can you put a dropper post on a hardtail?
Why shouldnt you lol?
I am one of those people that needs a torque wrench or I will strip everything. What kind of torque wrench do you use? Peace, Reese
Mo Pieces for allen keys use the short sets and use only your finger and thumb to tighten that way you wont over torque my method for 6 years now
#askgmbn how much did your canyon dirt jumper cost?
That moment when you have a 1994 Dekerf and a "simple set of Allen keys" just won't do it
Well, welcome to my life...
topic should be how to open your your hardtail then maintain it
#askgmbn do you recommend plus bike or normal bike for a beginner?
Yes yes we do, they offer more grip, balance and smoother ride! Maybe you could demo one before you buy?!
Global Mountain Bike Network I wish I could demo it. But I don't have any demo around me.
What kind of grease (if there is kinds) should you use
I use a Lithium based grease if you can't find bicycle specific grease! Speak to your LBS...
Ok thanks man
GMBN: Does stuff on threadless headsets
Me: :(
are continental tires good?
manuel liza I like them, durable but not the lightest or most supple. Can be pricy too, but imo worth it!
No they last long thats it your better off getting halfords tyres 🤣🤣
Jose Lizard a
Hey guys I just got my band new BMX a few days ago and now my bottom bracket creaks and clicks under load. Is this normal and easy to solve? I already tightened the bb and after that it was fine but on the next day the noise reappeared again after a few jumps and hits, should I really take apart the whole bb or is there an easier way?
yeah. best take it apart and clean it thenregrease
you don't say what BB your using , if its a sealed square taper BB then you have to install the drive side fully 1st before you install the none drive side sleeve , if its a press fit BB then your buggered , and that's why i don't buy bikes with press fit BB's :)
It's an American BB and the BMX was cheap, can I still take it apart?
felpel102 I had the same problem and I just re greased the bottom bracket
i have a question. when i trough the wheel im afraid ill over tighten the spokes and they will break while im riding. is that possible?
yes it is possible, your spokes should have an even tension throughout, just grab them in pairs as you spin the wheel to check they feel roughly the same with a bit of flex (this will absorb shocks without breakages)
How to service a hardtail the same as a full suspension with out a rear shock
Tim Wainz ikr they ran out of video ideas years ago
is that a world map where you pinned all the places you where?
#askgmbn i am going to store my bike until next year its going to get warm again... Should i maintain it now or in the Spring before i start biking again?
now
It could get worse over time
do it now... the fresh grease will prevent from any kind of rust or roughness
NiklasRi keep riding it🙂
4:07 Touck! :V
i have bike its only pne year old and the front suspension is kinda stuck it doest move its annoying AND sorry my bad english
My bottom braket is a sealed one, but I hear a creak, when pedaling, should I worry?
You may want to un-install it and re-install it with an anti-sieze compound or a bit of grease :)
Global Mountain Bike Network thanks!
Wow, shimano had to make the bolts that hold the brake 4mm not 5... Because xtr.
Saves a gram or two! lol
Reiner mit ei, bidde! It's across the range... Road and mtb.
Can you send me the FOX in the background?
Everything functions properly th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of TH-cam. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!
you dont have to unwind the quick release
my post seat dropper keep making noises !!! do take the seat off and grease it .. the drive me crazy .. i need a bike 911 lol
Jason Fuentes Try greasing the saddle rails, did the trick for me.
thanks man ill try it.
Err. This is not hart tail specific.
how is this related to hardtail only i dont get it
What bike is that?
Canyon Exceed, it is Super NICE!!!
Hey, comunity. I want to ask you if my edit on my channel is good an what i could do better. Thanks
The riding is very good however to my eyes the editing is very cluttered, jarring and special effects heavy (in particular slowmo) some people might like that but its not really for me. If I do a film project i like to have a clear vision in my head a list of cohesive shots that tell a bit of a journey and story and I didn't really get much connection or human feeling from watching your edit. For lack of a better term its feels a little forced. Filming is completely subjective however but it wasn't particularly memorable for me if I could recommend a bike films that are more in line with what what I enjoy, what makes me stoked to ride and illustrates why biking is a super good thing to be involved in you should have a look at some of the propain zelvy boys edits, the dudes of hazards, slice of british pie, some Glen Thompson edits of events, some of Chris Atrigg's stuff that's probably a good start that might not be what your going for but for me to be overly bothered about an edit I guess the human factor far outweighs the riding in question
#askgmbn hi sir i am from india i am beginner in MTB with low budget which Hardtail should i buy here in lucknow india we dont have any trails so which should I buy love from india
