Great video, very informative and useful. Could you consider doing a video on disc brakes? Maybe on installation and maintenance? I think it would serve the community well.
Thank you for watching and for commenting on my video. I really appreciate your suggestion. If you do not mind, would you let me know if this is the type of video you would like to see? I will take a mtb or emtb that has one brand of hydraulic disc brakes and replace those brakes with another brand of brakes. Then in another video (maybe more than one) I will show how I: fully bleed, partial bleed (when to do a full or a partial), lube the pistons in the caliper, check for a damaged lever, restore contaminated pads (not always successful), adjust the "throw", install new disc pads, etc. Let me know if there are other topics or if some of these are not very interesting. Thank you again for you suggestion.
Yes. I would find bleeding, checking for damage, and maintenance of brakes very useful! It’s not super difficult to do if you have the guided instruction(s) like your videos provide. I have been using your videos as a point of reference in knowing what to expect and watch out for. One last question for you. Do you know if you can upgrade the 10 headset? I have just got my frame and have yet to unbox it. I am thinking of upgrading to a crane creek headset. Do you have any insight?
I will work on some brake related videos along the lines of those I suggested. I normally prepare my videos and schedule them for public viewing and, as of right now, I have all my videos for the month of December ready to go. This means that I will most likely not have the brake videos until early next year. I hope that timing is OK. Regarding the Dengfu e10 headset, I do have a small bit of experience. The lower crown (head tube) on my e10 had only 9mm of insertion depth available for the lower cap. I was looking into a Works Component headset upgrade, and after some correspondence with Works Components, they said "This does seem to be an issue with the Dengfu frames - they have prepared the headtube to a very shallow depth and only a small amount of headsets will fit as a result - the bearing itself is 7.5mm in height so this leaves only 1.5mm of cup wall thickness if installed internally at 9mm." Upon hearing that I decided to go with the headset provided by Dengfu, and I have not had any reason to change it out since I installed it in mid 2023. Hope that helps.
