    I know this is an old video but if you have a problem with bolts coming loose when using regular loctite, try the Loctite Tape. It applies like pipe tape/teflon tape. Holds way better, doesn't harden or break apart from vibration.

      if you are careful and don't use the harsh water blade, it won't do any harm ofcourse.

    Came across this video because I had this really irritating noise coming from the rear. Took it to the bike shop and they thought it might be a small rock in the disc break and that it would work itself out. Really didn’t think it was from the break. Watched your video and you brought up the presta valve! BOOM that is what it was!!! Tightened it up and noise gone. Thanks so much for the idea!

I thought the basic video would be wash it off, degrease the chain, grease the chain. At this point in the video I just cranked myself. I either need to learn how to do this ASAP or my mechanic bills are gonna be outta control. Thank u so much!!!

    @stephenlord599 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well thought out and great for a beginner .. nice one.
    Quick tip on brakes .. it’s no longer to just top up a Shimano system BUT if you do then beware of going all the way through pads (and bleeding is something EVERYONE should be able do... especially people who are busy as who has the time to take the bike to a shop when you could be riding? ) .. the other thing is when you do fit new pads you’ll need to let out some fluid...
    Switching cables is also a cheap way to get/keep a new bike feel... a new inner takes 2 mins on top of indexing and flushing the outer with WD40 or better still a Teflon spray will get the crap out.. the genuine optislick (Shimano) is great but expensive.. I just buy cheaper Teflon inners and 10 go reasonably quickly with droppers and 1x across a few bikes... outer I buy jagwire in 10m lengths as it’s way cheaper .. you only need to cut what you use..
    If the frame linkage keeps working free it’s worth checking bearings and bushes... (but some frames it just happens anyway... non of mine but apparently a known thing on a Foxy. )
    Washing ... If it’s really filthy I usually start upside down (on grass to protect the controls) otherwise it all runs down later...then put it the right way up once the crud under the saddle and downtube is gone.

    Finally, a like minded Pro!
    Never used anything other than washing up liquid, a sponge, a toothbrush and the dustpan brush, with a bucket of warm water!
    Air dry it (and some kitchen towel) and spray WD40 (or other oil) on it - just not the brakes!
    Just seen though, 3 years ago! Good ole TH-cam recommendations!
