- The new SHIMANO DEORE 12 speed has landed and I managed to snag myself a full kit....which I promptly gave to my pal, Chris! Now he has an essentially brand new bike, all thanks to this groupset.

Yes yes, we put a few more things on than just the DEORE groupset...but I was just feeling nice. 😉Check it out here 👉bit.ly/deore12spd
1:06 wrong prices for conversions its the ones from whole set :D
To be honest i really dont know the price i did not check yet the shimano website i just believe what they are announcing about the product and the price hehe
Paul The Punter best content creator out there, paul it would mean the world in you follow me on insta. @alfie.chthell take care 🤛
Gifts like this could make the difference between someone giving up riding or falling in Love with a spot that can change life's for a lifetime
👍👍
Ahahah good one. I remember filming with Chris in 2013 when he had a trashed Specialized Demo 2010 with no more transmission, play everywhere, no brake pads on the front, a huge bubble on the rear break, and basically the bike was un rideable, but he will still bomb down fire roads to come and shoot out Whistler Bike Park edits! Hard worker and great dude he is!
That is exactly him 😂
Late on this vid but Chris deserves this just for all those sick park edits with you a few years ago!!
@@hobmarg He for sure does! And we are back filming together a new video...
@@remymetailler Rémy, you the man
Dude I wish I was sponsored by Shimano that's like a blessing
same
It’s great stuff!
That’s awesome. I am starting a TH-cam channel about biking if you wanna check it out
Lakeside launchers stop spamming
Dud that was 18 hours ago I already stopped 👍
everything is shimano?
yes, you want it to work do you?
-paul the punter, shimano
They should be giving him so much money for just that one line
he does call himself out straight after to be fair though......
true
My sentiments exactly. Shimano or walk.
I never tried X01 or XX1, but i have a GX Eagle groupset. Switched the shifter and derailleur to an XT after the second GX derailleur bent (without even bending the hanger). The XT derailleur feels much more high-quality and costs the same. And the Sram Guide RS brakes were awful, changed to Magura MT7, but Shimano brakes feel nice too.
You're a truly real friend Sir Paul! Can you imagine you gave your brandnew dropper post just to make your friend bike work properly! A very kind friend!
Ahh couldn’t let it leave like that!
@@PaulThePunter Nice! God bless and stay safe!
Nice one Paul, using your sponsorship to help out your friends like that. I hope you do really help Dan out too 🤣. Nice little heart warmer 🤘
Haha maybe I’ll get the chance one day!
Had to have added several links to the chain for that kind of droop. Or it was improperly sized in the first place. And those guide brakes work great when they are bled. Also sram shifting is pretty nice too if your derailleur hanger isnt bent. He had a nice kit already, would be nice if he just took care of it and didnt treat it like disposable commodity.
Yeah, a bit maintenance at least, hopefully he services his suspension
@@pidgie3397 I'm going to guess probably not 🤣
dude he just makes these video to advertise his sponsors i mean guides are way better then deores
@@google_account_ guides are absolutely worse than deores lmao. The only sram brakes worth batting an eye to are code rsc. Not even code r's are worth looking at.
At some point I was expecting: "and the frame is cracked so I took this one I have lying around"
epic>>>>>>>>>>>
Long Long ago, I realized when riding, get something of a good level of components for a bike. The feel, the light touch, precision impact will make me smile and enjoy my sport so much more. Thanks for sorting this chaps life out.
"Brand new for under $600" - adds $600 more in unspecified parts to achieve the effect....
clickbait
Yo he got the drivetrain for free...
@@yaishmatheen4274 Yo, he is sponsored by this brand, and it's misleading to his viewers to say you can make your mountain bike feel brand new for $600. Unless you also can get mountain bike stuff for free?
Sigurd Flaatten I suppose. But he could mean get just the drivetrain. I’m not playing favourites, just trying to look at it from each angle.
@@yaishmatheen4274 My point is that considering how many changes they did end up doing, just changing the drivetrain for just under $600 absolutely does not make his mountain bike feel brand new.
7:12 You mean that in reality all it needed was a Derailleur Hanger :) I guess you could have saved $ 595
and a brake bleed, dropper bleed, and new bearings.
edit: new chain, jockey wheels, cassette, chain ring, cables,
sooo no. but yes. kinda...
As someone who has friends that don’t take care of their bikes, I have given up helping them when they need to do repairs. Like, dude, if you don’t care for your bike, I’m not even going to bother. I am way more enthusiastic to help the friends I know spend time washing and servicing their bike.
Cracking video Paul! Just changed my drivetrain from GX Eagle to SLX 12spd and omd, the shifting is so crisp and the levers just feel so positive. Totally understand why you're with Shimano! Keep pinning it dude!🤙
Right? Pretty next level.
Paul The Punter Best upgrade I’ve ever made!
You're a great friend Paul and a great ambassador for the sport! Keep it up!
Thanks my friend 🤟
It is so cool that shimano made a really good 12s group for such a good price just one of the many reasons that shimano is just the best!!!!
Precisely!
better than sram sx, which has a plastic build
My first full sus bike had deore components and they worked great. I recently swapped my drivetrain, except the cassette, to XT 12 speed. Love the Shimano feel. I was pretty disappointed when Santa Cruz stopped offering a Shimano build on their affordable builds. Nice work on the video.
Hey, i love biking and i do it for a living. I deliver food for a living 5 days a week. When i am not i do bike rides to different trails in tornado.
I have a walmart gravel bike which had cheap wheels, tires. Had bar end index shifting and chinese rear derailleur which sucks. It has a 1x9 drivetrain. I really like taking it to the trails so i did a few upgrades. New rear wheel with a cassette instead of a freewhee but only 11t-28t as I couldn’t afford to wait 6-8weeks buying at AliExpress or pay 100-150$ for a 10-46t on Amazon. Then i added sensah brifters and some nice bartapes which work really really nice. And finally added cable actuation type hydraulic brake calipers and finally added compressionless housing all around.
Recently the drop handle bars slip on jumps, the bottom bracket is really bad and creaks and doesn’t move freely. The pedals are really really gunky inside so dont move. Wheels and disks are all out of align. Bar tape wasn’t done on point, theres things stuck inside the frame. The rear derailleur doesn’t have a clutch so its really bad. Front crank is bent. Brakes rub. And finally the hub is silent which i hate also it doesn’t move freely.
If you wanna try doing a gravel bike for a change and wanna help out a fan then consider this comment. Ps i live in toronto.
Anyways, love your content and love seeing you brings bikes back to life.
I ride the Deore XT brake set with ICE tech rotors and love them. They stop on a dime and are extremely easy to adjust.
Are they adjustable at the brake lever or just at the caliper?
@@Adam-xo7cv easy answer both. The lever has the adjustments I think you're w/o dering about but to center the calipers the brake itself needs to be adjustable just so the pads don't rub. I think my rotors are the 200mm kind and I've rode down an EWS line at North Star in California and they held the same grip as they did at the top of the run.
Such a cool thing to do for your buddy. I bet that he was totally blown away when it finally sank in just how much you and Dan had done to his bike.
You da man Paul. 👍👍
Cheers dawg!
In the early 2000's I tried deore groupset on a friend's specialized. It was so nice I thought it was the best Shimano had to offer.
Haha believeable!
My first Deore groupset was 6 speed in the v early 90's quite quickly followed by XT, HG, 7 Speed and other tweaks were welcome (we will forget about biopace) whilst Deore became Deore DX for a bit (with the cheaper Deore LX, which was a bit rough back then tbh), the name and reassuring quality has stood the test of time
*Paul, the Dobrik of MTB 😎
My dream title!
I have a Deor-eh 12sp on my bike and it’s great. Love these bike upgrade vids. Keep them coming!
love how you take care of your friends. !
It’s good eh?
downhill first ride commentary was great
He was a good talker for sure
Brilliant guys! Generosity is how company and content creators should make the world better. Glad the new tech trickles down too. Good for us who buff up older bikes to keep price low. My Turner was $850 total with new GX 10 speed, sunrace, maxxis, raceface bars. Shifts like a dream and gets me out there. Adding a dropper post eventually and keeping it under $1000.
Paul this is so awesome. I love seeing good will happening from TH-camrs. Keep up this awesome positivity.
Great to see a good old shimano proven to be brilliant.. made his bike look way better
PLEAAAAAAAASE tell me where I can get that foam for the internal cable routing
Probably at your local shop! Good bikes come with them...like Scott 😎
@@PaulThePunter #sponsorsdream, I'm not sure there are any scott retailers in my area, shame 😂
Benjamin Rozier go to any bike shop and ask for the Jagwire internal cable foam. I just got this and its cheap, easy to install and works a treat.. jagwire.com/products/small-parts/internal-housing-damper
@@benjaminrozier8063 Paul can probably arrange a heli drop. Only seems reasonable considering social distancing! 🤔
You are awesome Paul! And thank you Shimano for supplying his friend with stuff so he doesn't injure himself this season!!
Haha never looked at it like that!
used to have a devinci spartan absolute solid bike i had blown the shock, drive train was worn out chain was mega stretched, thrashed the wheels. Broke a brake lever and a reverb lever. still was a solid bike. But one service got it in lovely condition
Such a feel good video. I built a young lad a full bike because his mum could not afford to get him one and the look in his face when i gave him it was amazing!
That’s awesome! Giving is better than receiving for sure :)
Best bit about this is you gave it to you mate Respect man
Could you please do a video with dan explaining how to prevent the things that happened with the bike in the beginning in the first place? Just simple replacement and maintenance with a time or mileage frame? Just like your fork service one, that was great!
Well that would be a great one, but there’s nothing I can add to everything else on the internet! Just check with a chain checker regularly and take it to your local shop if you’re unsure.
Ok. Thanks Paul. I just thought your fork service one was so funny and it’s really nice to see someone who is an average person, not crazy good mechanic who works at a bike shop, but someone who has the same issues as us. And having dan there is cool to see because he’s there to correct you and gives some great insight though! I always watch your videos smiling or have learned something after!
The problem with the gears was the deraillieur hanger. The problem with the brakes probably a bleed and breakpads. I could gave made the bike feel new for $60. $80 if you add a new chain
Under $600 groupset (without the dropper post, rims, and other new stuff) you mean?
You would appreciate the new hyperglide+ when talking about shifting under load... You can't do it as smoothly and efficiently with SRAM even with the XX1 Eagle, especially from the penultimate gear to the softest. The "clunk" sound is absent in any Shimano 12-speed hyperglide+ drivetrain which is so weird the first time I tried it in a 12-speed SLX. I thought it's not advisable to shift under full load but the system is a game changer.
Bro, that was a great thing you did for your friend! You are a generous person. Much respect Paul!!
When my bike it’s give a foreign sounds my hart is crying. Good job Paul 😀
That rear derailleur looks high end. Love the new Shimano 12 speed.
1:10 "has Sram Code RSC on his dh bike yet sponsored by Shimano"
What a good mate you are Paul.
And if that guy is liking the brakes on the first run... he better watch out when they actually burn in !!!
9:27 sponsors dream
Paul is a blessing to us in quarantine!
🤟
I thought that corona thing were over
I love the fitting from the crank to the chainring it is so smooth!
"just slap this new drivetrain on your old bike"
what are these?
oh yeah, you also need to buy new wheels......
Or get a new driver body 🤷🏻♂️
Or get the 11 speed version.
Costs only like 50 bucks for slx, I laced my wheel up with the new hub within a day, rebuilding a wheel is actually really good to do and teaches u stuff so I would say it’s worth it
What these others said
Or just get a new freehub body
his stoke was real seeing all the new kit!
Super sick! Paul you’re like a mtb superhero. Must feel so amazing to be able to stoke out a friend so well.
Its pretty cool how you let your friends benefit from your channel you could have put them on something but Pretty awesome thing to do.
Just my every day :)
What a great thing to do for someone! I just realized all my friends suck.
As good as it gets for a Shimano commercial!
I’m still riding my 2019 giant reign with the lower end shimano group set and I love it. Imagine with that whole set up haha game changer for me if it was to happen. Good stuff Paul. Keep up the great vibes man!
I suspect that new 12 speed Deore is going to be very popular, it's almost certainly going to be more durable and smoother than both SX and NX eagle.
You can get a brandnew slx groupset aftermarket cheaper than 450(4 piston brakes 2x)
And a full xt groupset wirh xtr derailleur brandnew for 520
Your friend is a lucky friend. With the crisis going on, this groupset won't come anytime soon. Can't wait to see it, cause plan to check out the brake lever.
It should actually be in stores pretty soon!
Thats amazing that you were able to do that for your friend. What I wouldn't give to get one free thing for once. But the Deore set is now definitely on my wish list for sure!
Hey Paul, a while back I commented that I was growing weary of the TH-cam look at all my free shit videos, that I was here to watch the riding, not all the "free" stuff you were getting as a result of your hard work. Well videos like this have me easting my words. Not that you need my, or anyone's kudos, but kudos to you for using your powers for good! Haha Anyway, have a good one, and stay safe... Signed a resubscriber.
I was so excited to hear about a under 300 dollar group set only to find out it’s 800 fricking Canadian!!!! Damn it, can I have Chris’s old stuff
I dont even have shifting anymore my shift cable said I'm done with live and snapped and all the bike shops are filled up rn and I also need and brake fluid Change because most of the movement on the fingers for the brake levers is just like a 63% dead zone there's no braking there.
nice i like these videos fixing people bikes its a nice group set . as soon as my 11 speed stops working i will be changing it i would like free stuff lol . thank youPaul for another good video
That cool getting new parts. But it seems like it needed a little bit of maintenance not a replacement.
No way, everything was cooked!
Sick Paul love the great video
Cheers!
I have the same brakes and drivetrain as he did before, he just was really bat at basic maintenance. My bike works like a charm. He just didnt care I think. Hopefully he'll do better on this drivetrain
What a great friend!
true
Jesus 12 speeds is crazy. Also, looking for an entry level hardtail, do you suggest a Diamondback Hook? Looking around the 700 dollar price range. All these MTB YT channels has gotten me into the sport :).
I would watch some videos on good geo. Then I would purchase a bike in the used market. Go to pinkbike.com!
John thanks!
What a move to support your buddy! 👌🏻
Not a fan of misleading clickbaity titles though!
Dude, you are the best friend ever!
Hmmmmm don’t know if I’m watching Paul or Bobo....
Haha he nailed it!
I spotted that too... it’s uncanny, they were separated at birth, I believe.
Carolina Speedworks HAHAHAHA!! Yeah, good stuff!
Paul “Pimp My Ride” the Punter!
Nice one, mate! Next time you could send some of that new gear over to Brazil ( my address, obviously), where bike parts are super expensive, making it almost impossible to assembled a decent bike, as taxes will eat you alive. Make my day! Bye from Brazil!
you can also revive the feel of a bike by putting a new chain and cassette on. My dad goes through a chain every month, and a cassette every 2 monthes
I kinda wannna get the deore brakes I’m definitely not getting the drivetrain because I have a SRAM GX and I know shimano is great but the touchiness of SRAM is more for me
I would give the new 12spd Shimano and see what you think 😉
For some reason I keep thinking chris’ bike is a giant reign and not a devinci Troy
This needs more than a like...really cool.
Bit of a random question but on your old trek did you use the knock block feature? Because I’ve bought a trek and I’m wondering if there’s anyway to remove it.
Hey tommy tommy
Oh fancy seeing jo jo here
Check with your local dealer
Paul The Punter hey Paul-y Paul-y
You could remove it but front fork will hit the down tube full turn.
Everyone be like: I wish I was sponsored by shimano
Me in my mind: I whis my bike can change gears and that my brakes work...
He is so happy....
1:05 you forgot to change the CAD price. Oops.
And the € price
fenderfan85 I moved to BC not too long ago and I couldn’t agree more. 1$ for a single spoke nipple. Ridiculous.
Such a Great Video! I also ride Shimano and its so crisp!
Wholesome stuff.
Nice to see you do something nice for your friends.
Im looking at that new drive train for my felt decree. I just have to figure out if they will fit on my shimano deore hubs. With 142mm spacing.
Time to replaced my 10 spd set up.
Hopefully when this covid thing is over I'll still have a job and can save up for it.
You could always freshen it up with the new 11spd Deore, should fit on your current setup no problem.
The bike sounds really quiet with the new components and the foam inserts cor the internal cables
And here I am just trying to find a dropper post in Sweden, seems impossible 😩
I wish I had a friend like you, someday I will be the one to that to my friends
Nice one Paul the punter!
💪
Yo that deore is awsome
Sure is!
No hate on shimano, but MY personal Deore groupset, 12s 2023, is very crunchy after lots of tuneing.
Super Top video jajajajaj. Now I feel big motivated to get on the trail myself, what gets me going the longest while bike is *Delta Parole* or other rokk music!
super cool of you guys to do this. would a shimano kit like this work to turn a 1x10 into a 1x12??
DUDE JUST GOT A NEW BIKE , HELL YEAH BRO
next step vorsprung for a suspension rebuild and tune and itll really feel like a new bike.
Giant should have come to the party and got him a new 27.5 Reign frame 👌
I want to see the inside of the suspension!!! Service it with the WPL suspension oils!!!
That’s a sick video thanks for the content, subbed
This is a great video -
In the vid and in the comments the reality of all the awesome people in Squamish shine through - very nice.
I mean you are sponsord by shimano but else new i would stil take sram gx vs shimano 12speed deore... not bad tho
Paul I have a 1x10 drivetrain 11-40t cog and I def want to switch to an 11 or 12 speed. I would like a 50 t. So I can climb steep punchy climbs without burning out so fast. What would be the best but cheapest option possible? I know very kittle about bike mechanics etc so thamks in advance e for the help. Also I want to echo whatbone of the other guys said abiut you beimg a good friend. You hooked bobo up amd now this video. You go above an beyond amd this is within just hit the sun button.
This is the best marketing campaign from shimanos side I've ever seen. Replacing an absolute trashed Sram setup with their brand new stuff etc. Man I bet most of the parts just needed some maintenance/overhaul. Great video nevertheless, and the lad seems to stoked on his "New" bike so it's a win-win I suppose ;)
De Orr ray *shudders
It’s Dee or
Perfect, the dream!
Always
Brakes same as Mt520 no?
Don’t think so, DEORE is 6100 etc
