In this video: A beginners guide to assessing and servicing a vintage mountain bike

[@OldTimer]

At this stage I always take photos of each section closely so I know where stuff goes back and how. Love your videos man ✌️

[@MonkeyShred]

I've definitely done that before. Especially with stripping down shifters

[@stephenstevens6573]

I think we all forget where we came from in this journey. It needs passed on. We take it for granted that we know some of this stuff!

[@AndrogyneMichinaga]

A good guide. Thanks.

[@MonkeyShred]

No problem!

[@julienlepiece2219]

Thanks for the nice tutorial. The original tires on the 92 trek 7000 are the matrix z-axis, trek own brand at the time. Interestingly the rims are from the same brand. These tioga are nice though!

[@yardsalecycles]

first thing I do is pump the tires before I start working on it to check if they hold

[@GeneticVehicle]

Very useful, thanks

[@peterharrer3261]

Am not a beginner, but the assessment section was a great "how-to" on wobbles where I learned a lot. Even RJ hasn't done one as thorough.

[@joshuabuilds3051]

Those old tires can look good and indeed be fine for light use, but if theyre 10 years old and hardened, they feel different in a bad way above 35-38 mph

Great Guide and beautiful Bike.
I am born in 1972, therefore those machines are from the time I couldn't afford to buy them when they where new.
Hope you understand what I mean, poor english😂

[@FrancoDX]

Great tutorials mate, as ever. 👍🏼

[@01FozzyS]

Supervisor says don't bother me. lol

[@Blackmamba12345]

Hi my old retro mountain bike has sticking rear brake v caliper on one side - how do I resolve it?

[@MonkeyShred]

First thing to check is the pivot isn’t rusted. Take the arms off. Clean the pivots. Apply grease to pivots. Reinstall arms.
