No matter the bike, no matter the issue, there’s nothing better than a Bikespeeds service. Your videos never get boring, always a different story or reason for servicing a bike. Good luck Lee with your workshop refit. Best of luck to you and Simon. See you soon!
My first road groupset was 105 5600. During my first full service for my bike (probably the bike's first), I spotted some used Tiagra 4700 components in the shop I used to work at that were no longer being used. As I wanted to clean up my bike's front end, I asked my manager and boss if I could buy them, to which they gave the green light, leaving only my brakes being 105 5600. The ergonomics are much better (more space for my last three fingers to wrap the STI lever body comfortably) and shifting is more effortless too thanks to the longer front derailleur arm. This groupset is actually enough for many riders as long as 10-speed chains, cassettes and chainrings can still be sourced for a sufficiently long time.
Always enjoy your videos Bikespeeds, there's something very therapeutic about watching them. It was nice to see a Tiagra level bike being prepared for an event too. It goes to show that it is a functional product.
waiting an eternity (one week) for another one of your awesome vids. "couple of weeks with no video" 😥😥😥 Ill go back to watching the rest of your brilliant videos!
I am glad I discovered this channel, I love the high attention to detail and excellent work ethic with regards to servicing. I feel smarter after every video because it was explained to me in clear, simple terms but still highly detailed.
Thank you Dean! It’s really great to see you still enjoying all the videos. TH-cam is a crazy journey and it blows our mind how people like yourself enjoy the content🧡
Great job on the hike and hope the refit goes especially well. Exciting to see what it'll all look like when you're done. Will you do a tour for us all? 🎉
@@BikespeedsWhen I had to replace a customer's shift cable during his ride when he came to the shop I used to work at, when I saw that he's on external routing, "Jackpot, this hardly takes time.". Piece of cake indeed. 👌
I have the same bike i got in 2017 for £750..It has had a transformation after i changed the chunky stock wheels and the horrible tyres to a more supple one..Its now so comfortable to ride and the bike has shed at least 3.5kgs with the wheel upgrade,tyres,TPU inner tubes, carbon seatpost and a sella Italia magnesium alloy saddle.. Just a question .. could the gear cables be routed internally??.thats the only eye sore on this model..
Question regarding the torque specs: Where do you get the torque specs from for items like the brake pad bolts, caliper bolts, etc. Are you using, for instnace, the Shimano recommended specs for the rim brake calipers and pad bolts, or is it more of a general spec you use for all rim brake assemblies? Same for items like the derailleur mounting bolts. Items like the stem bolts where the spec is printed on the part are pretty self explanatory, but the odds and ends fasteners are what I am curious about.
Most manufacturers of components will mention the torque specs needed. From my personal experience, I only use my torque tools on parts that are more sensitive to torque specs. They include, but are not limited to: Carbon handlebar installations (stem, dual-control levers) Carbon braze-on front derailleur mounts (ex. mid-2010s Scott Addict) Threaded bottom brackets Cranksets Seatpost clamps Saddle clamps There is one torque spec that I no longer follow because if I continued doing so, I'd keep crushing seat tubes and seatposts. This part, is the Specialized Tarmac SL6 FACT 9r's collar seatpost clamp. Although it's printed with a 6.2 Nm torque spec, I now torque it down to 5 Nm as this is the general torque spec for most collar seatpost clamps and is enough for the Tarmac SL6 FACT 9r, especially when there's already carbon paste applied on the seatpost and in the seat tube. Overtime with experience, I can tighten a handful of bolts without exceeding the torque spec by hand. I deliberately choke my hex wrenches to prevent ever overtightening bolts by accident as I give myself the least amount of leverage possible.
Ik moet in fietsen winkel waar ik werk altijd cassette en ketting vervangen ook as ik vind dat dat cassette nog goed is maar ik zie dat jij alleen de ketting vervangen dus het kan graag jou advies michaël uit België
I see rim brakes, I apply mouse force . . . CLICK!

AMEN!!!!!
Thanks sincerely from both of us 🧡
What a lovely Groupset the Shimano Tiagra is ,so much nicer than its predecessor
I have it too on my bike and it's amazing how crisp, precise the shifting is and how sturdy it is. It is an absolute pleasure to ride it!
It really does the job well!🧡

@@sbccbc7471 perfectly said & the only benefit of 105 10 speed is that it's slightly lighter in weight

Tiagra is great! Glad you enjoyed it🧡

We may not do a full tour we’re not 100% sure yet but we’ll definitely show you round the new cabinet within one of the normal videos🧡
@@Bikespeeds brilliant 🎉
External cabling , rim brakes nice.
So easy to work on!🧡

Let's do a shop tour!!!
It’s on the cards!🧡
Quality as always guys ! Enjoy ur break 👍
Unfortunately it’s far from a break it’s gonna be a lot of work but we can’t wait to get back to making videos 🧡
Just back from a weeks holiday, checking this wasn't the first thing I did but it was close !
Haha thanks John that’s great! 🧡
Thanks for the vid. Enjoyed as allways.
Thanks very much, we always appreciate the comment 🧡

Good luck getting it done! Thanks for the support🧡
Lovely job cheers
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching🧡
Cool brilliant 🚴🏼♂️
Thanks Paul!🧡

Is it mandatory to have this "dork disc" in the UK?
It is mandatory for bikes to be sold with one🧡
Awesone video as usual...You sound a little under the weather!
We had some audio issues this week so it was more the microphone than anything 🧡
Goes to show you don’t need carbon this or top level that to go bike racing. Nice work. Best of luck to the rider.
Absolutely! It’s about how hard you ride not what you’re riding!🧡
Great!!!
Thank you Tom!🧡

Great that you’ve done it up, this bike has come and gone and I can’t remember wether it had frame mounts for internal cables to tell you!🧡

Why not copper grease on brake thumb adjusters?
It was actually plastic, we only use copper grease to stop metal on metal corrosion🧡
Genial 👍🎉
Thank you Andrey!🧡
Tiagra can serve a lifetime. Solid groupset. You won't get dropped on a climb because you ride tiagra.
It’s mega robust!🧡
From the mechanic's perspective, do you prefer disc or rim brakes; through axles or drop-outs?
Rim brakes and through axels! All 4 come with problems but in our opinion they came with the least problems of the lot🧡
Can you open up in Dorset
If we could we would!🧡
👍
Thanks James!🧡⚙️
Is that scott speedster 20 ?
and the lack of voiceover while palpating the hole in the bars got me
Ik moet in fietsen winkel waar ik werk altijd cassette en ketting vervangen ook as ik vind dat dat cassette nog goed is maar ik zie dat jij alleen de ketting vervangen dus het kan graag jou advies michaël uit België
Only replace the cassette if the chain slips. Past 1% elongation this is quite likely
We try to save our customers money wherever we can and are happy for them to come back if it slips 🧡
@@BikespeedsAgree! No need to change parts "just in case"
racing on kendas💀💀
Anyone that keeps the dork disc can't be trusted, let alone given a bib number 💀
Meticulous, particular, tack sharp, immaculate……
