Usually the reason is the labour charge to service them isn't worth the cost of a replacement fork. Like many entry level components they're consumable
Nice to see another ATX. Bought the hydraulic version before lockdown in 2020 and still loving it. Changed to a 1x9, switched to a Rockshox fork and went tubeless. Even if there are much better mountain bikes out there it’s always been brilliant and will keep it for a long time to come. Great video as always!
Much love from Germany, great educational and entertaining video as always. As a former bike Salesman and service person I still learn something new from your videos. Keep the great content on ♥️
I'm sitting here on my couch and enjoy this weeks Wednesday video of Bikespeeds. Great job as always. I'll have a look at your tandem job on Instagram. Greetings from Germany
This is my newest favorite channel. I have been binging old videos like mad for the past several days. I can't get enough. I am learning a lot about strip downs and rebuilds. Thanks for all the information! Also, from the USA ... much appreciated content.
Hi from India! I love your videos - the way you service and talk through every aspect of the work being done is very interesting. The content is great and there is so much to learn from it. Wanted to check - do you get bikes with restoration and upgrades or just upgrades? I was just curious as to what specific components do people usually upgrade and what is your take on upgrading components vs upgrading a bike? Would be great if you have a video on it. Thank you for the awesome content.
It’s entirely up to the customer, it’s really about the whole package, no point having carbon wheels on a steal frame but if you’re happy with your frame then definitely invest in some good components🧡
What do yall charge for doing this on a giant ? We have a bike shop around 45 minutes from us and i just put uogrades on my giant but it still needs a new chain installed and probably stuff greased up, gotta try and call them tommorow.
Your calming voiceovers are great but don't really mesh with the frantic fast-forward. Instead of trying to cover so much ground per shot maybe have more cuts? Anyway, great work!
If you do it yourself most likely. If you value sustainability also yes. If you're unsure, ask your bike shop for a quote and look for bikes somewhat above that price point.
Excellent workmanship as always. What do you do about washing your microfibre cloths? I’m worried I’ll upset the wife if I chuck them in the washing machine (!)
I guess some sort of pretreatment is in order, to get the grit out. I have been wondering about this as well, their cloths always look very clean before use.
There’s a lot of good videos and articles about this from the auto detailing world. Best to use cold water (warm if they really need it) and most importantly a laundry detergent without perfumes or fabric softeners (sometimes called free and clear). Anything besides that will trash your microfibers. Then after your hard work just hang dry them and don’t put them in the dryer. If a towel is really messy I’ll pre treat with all purpose cleaner and some warm water. As they get more worn start keeping track of which ones you want to use for paint work and which older ones can be retired to messier duties
Not sure if you mean how often should a bike be serviced? I always recommend when ever a bike develops a problem it’s a good time to get it serviced or before your yearly A event.
Love the channel, but after following for more than 6 months, start to look all the videos and comments are the same. Please, don't take it too hard but maybe you could go slow in specific areas with more details. Just a suggestion!
Servicing entry level forks is relatively easy and yet few mechanics want to do it! Great video as always.
Thanks for watching as always Carlos!🧡⚙️

Better than a marvel movie 🍿 🥇☝️🙏 🚴 😊
You know it!🧡⚙️🍿
For it being a Giant mountain bike, it sure looks normal sized! Good work again lads!
Haha😂🧡

Highlight of my midweek viewing.
Cheers!
That's a nice watch you're wearing! Great and inspiring job of course, as always, thank you :-)

Thanks for watching and commenting Michael!
Great service as always guys ! Nice to see a mountain bike brought back up to spec 👍
We try get mountain bike videos out where we can!
Another solid video bringing another bike back to showroom condition 😎🇫🇮
Even the customer said that this one came out like new!

So smooth servicing coil fork thanks for making my request you're the best

I have 3/to catch up on.
This was a nice video, as usual from you guys!
Cheers Melvin! Thanks for commenting🧡⚙️
Nice vid guys keep up the good work
First vid of yours I've seen and I can already tell I'm going to learn a lot from you. Probably going to steal the syringe idea!
How did you find us just browsing or?⚙️
Love your video, I am learning so much :)
Glad you enjoy them!
Good job 👍🏻👌🏻
Another great vid!
I both like to do this myself and watch it being done. And wow was that chain worn down.
I really enjoy the videos . I have noticed it seems like the video speed is a good bit faster than it used to be almost too fast. 👍
you gotta show the next tandem! I'm curious how that drive train works
yeah i wanna see more MTB but like u said in ur area there aren't much. What aa shame lol. Great vid!!!!
Yay Wednesday.
Best day!
Don't need to line up the tire logos if there's no tubes to track inside them in anyway! :P Great video as always
its about the a e s t h e t i c s !
Great stuff, I can see you take pride in your work. Can I ask should jockey wheels have a little side to side play in them?
👍
I literally blew one of my quick relese skewer up by over tightening it so now i just do a little over finger tight.
We’ve seen it happen!

Friends, please tell me what size square tapered bottom bracket for Giat Atx 27.5
What do yall charge for doing this on a giant ?
We have a bike shop around 45 minutes from us and i just put uogrades on my giant but it still needs a new chain installed and probably stuff greased up, gotta try and call them tommorow.
Please do more videos
How did you take the rear derailleur cable out
Why do you put the “dork” disc back on the bike? Customer request?
Your calming voiceovers are great but don't really mesh with the frantic fast-forward. Instead of trying to cover so much ground per shot maybe have more cuts?
Anyway, great work!
Do you happen to now the headset size of this model
I have the same type of BB. Is it even worth taking it apart and servicing in the future? Seems like most people just buy a new one.
If you do it yourself most likely. If you value sustainability also yes. If you're unsure, ask your bike shop for a quote and look for bikes somewhat above that price point.
Whats the hubs spacing?

Most of the time we chuck them out but the clean ones we just put them in the washing machine
@@Bikespeeds sounds expensive and wasteful - but I guess time is money.
👍👌
in what frequently do service bike daily use road driving bikes

Did you cut the brake hose with cable cutters……naughty, naughty!
How long does a job like this take you
When we’re filming, days and days but normally this is a days work🧡
Still cheaper than buying a new bike!
Definitely!

Where are based
Suffolk, UK🧡
This looks like expensive work for an average bike.
