To be completely honest, I would just come over to the UK from Belgium just to get both of my bikes serviced by you guys. This is top notch servicing 👌🏽
When I first got in to cycling after some running related injuries, I bought a Boardman SLR with SRAM double tap and apart from being quite a heavy bike, I never had a problem with it. I've upgraded my collection of bikes but, my Boardman is still there if only on my turbo trainer.
I've seen most of your videos and I love your attention to detail,my favourite is the alignment of the tire logos with the valves I personally have a similar habit of aligning the valves with the tire inflation instructions so I can see directly the PSI limit on each tire.I do that because l have quite a big collection of vintage bikes with different tire sizes
Amazing content. I've been binge watching all your videos and the only thing I can complain is the lack of mountain bikes 😊 Keep it going with the amazing videos, cheers from Portugal!
Where our shop is, is far from many mountains, our customers are mostly all road bike cyclists but when we get a good mountain bike video in the shop we’ll definitely film it🧡🚲
Been binge watch your videos since I came across the channel and have absolutely enjoyed them! Love your attention to detail. If I may make a suggestion? When the video is sped up, the screen becomes rather jittery and somewhat hard to follow for my old eyes. If possible, perhaps run the video through image stabilisation after it's been sped up? Just a suggestion to maybe improve the quality of your videos. Cheers!
Another great video guys - almost getting to a point now where you can (should) release two videos per week to save us waiting until every Wednesday night. Jokes, I know it takes a lot of work - been a fan since day one
Thanks for supporting us along the way John! We’d love to do two videos a week we really would but it’s a full time job doing one a week let alone running our shop on top of that, maybe one day!🧡
I’d love my bike to get this much attention when serviced. I’ve had it serviced before at 5 different places. And none of them have really met the standard. Even had the disc break, pivot screw come undone after a ride after a service, and me nearly crashing… and when taking back they said it comes undone due to vibration…. I said “I paid for a gold service and all parts were supposed to be stripped and cleaned… you either never cleaned it and checked screw torque … or you didn’t screw it on back properly”
Show is around your workshop please! What tools, what brands? Why those brands are your favourite? What tools you bought and hate or threw away because they gave you a headache? What crease, oils, why?
@@Bikespeeds we do not put the whole cable in heat shrink, but mostly two pieces of about 3 cm each. But we do a lot of e-bikes which have 6 or 7 cables in the front. And without something to hold them together they rattle a lot and it just looks messy.
I’d use spiral cable wrap because it doesn’t pull the cables completely tight like heat shrink & gives them the freedom to move and slide with steering left and right.
Great videos guys! Have you thinked getting a tripod for some of the shots? Would allow the cameraman to do something else , and more precise before/after shots
Nice, another good video gents 👍🏻 would it be worth shortening the rear derailleur cable outer housing to allow for more inner cable to extend without replacing the cable?
Hi there Just watched your channel for Boardman bikes. I like the way you service individual parts and make it looks brand new. Where in London is your shop pls. Thanks
We absolutely do when it’s needed, we’ve done wheel bearings on some of our other videos it just depends job to job on what the bike needs, thanks for watching!🧡
Once again, great video! I have 2 questions: - do you leave the shifting cables a little bit longer at the end in order to remove the 2 derailleurs in a second moment? How long do you leave the end? - when you check the chain, do you only measure one link or do you take more poin? If only one measurement is "loose", do you need to replace the chain already? Thx and greetings
I do tend to leave the rear derailleur with a bit of a tail, which helps for future removal, but most of the ones I fit the cable end will clear the threaded hole in the thumb adjuster if I unwind it. My chain checker measures over 5 inches and if at any point around the chain it shows wear I advice accordingly.
I'd be interested to know what you think the benefits are of waxing a chain. I used a wax lubricant a few years ago and hated it. It needed re-applying every 50 to 100 miles, and was then an absolute pain to clean off when swapping back to my normal lubricant.
What we use is heated until it’s like water it literally pours into the chain rollers and as it cools for a a coating from the inside. It last a lot longer than 50-100 and is easy to clean off using boiling water. It’s way, way easier to deal with than an oil.
can i ask something random i am thinking to buy a similar bike since i never ride this before do you think i would be able to carry a school bag on my bag? like would it fall on my face?
One of only a handfull of channels I subscribe to that I hit the like button as soon as the video starts. 👍
Goes along way, many thanks!🧡👍🏼
Another top notch service. I love how you guys save components rather that telling the customer they need a new part. If only you serviced BMWs😂
Haha thanks Grant!🧡🚲
To be completely honest, I would just come over to the UK from Belgium just to get both of my bikes serviced by you guys.
This is top notch servicing 👌🏽
Thanks for the kind comment!🇧🇪🧡
Great to see such thorough service being done, very reassuring……..
Lovely range of bikes getting their post-winter tune ups. Great seeing that they were ridden over winter too!
I recently started watching this chanel and now im always excited when a new video comes out! Great work as always!
Thanks for watching Wouter!🧡🚲
Same
Thanks for my Wednesday fix. Order has been restored to the world, well a bike at least.
Enjoy watching your videos every Wednesday evening (US). Nice way to de-stress after work and pick up some excellent bike maintenance tips. 👍👍
Thanks for watching Russ!🧡🚲
I can attest to the Boardman bikes owning one myself, it's been very good so far
Always enjoy the vids every wedsnesday, wish I lived closer to Lowestoft.
This was once again a very satisfying bike service!
When I first got in to cycling after some running related injuries, I bought a Boardman SLR with SRAM double tap and apart from being quite a heavy bike, I never had a problem with it. I've upgraded my collection of bikes but, my Boardman is still there if only on my turbo trainer.
I'm never a Bored Man (sorry) watching these videos. Great job, nice to see the channel growing!
Haha thanks for watching!🧡🚲
Awesome job, thank you 👍 the waxed chain was 100% the way to go, so much quieter and smoother 👌🚲
Thanks for watching Chris🧡👍🏼
Always a pleasure to comment and like your videos. Again, superb content, thanks for sharing all your hints and tips. 🙌😎
I wish you were nearby in Canada ... your work and attention to detail is awesome.
Thanks for watching Kennith🧡
Brill! I have a 8 years old Boardman Team Carbon and I love it.
Enjoy! Thanks for your support🧡
Another thorough job. Very enjoyable.
Superb content as always and congrats on the great channel growth gents. 👍

Good job 👏

Good stuff

Hi! What's the black dust that do you put on the chain? Cheers from Argentina!
That is Molten Speed Powder🧡🚲
How much is a service like this?
You forgot to match up the tyre logo to the valve this week!!
I wonder if I'll ever get this standard of service from Halfords
We most of the time put heatshrink over the cables to keep them together and protect the from rubbing.
I heat shrink Di2 but wouldn’t for gear and brake cables because they will hold the steering and reduce the freedom of movement.
@@Bikespeeds we do not put the whole cable in heat shrink, but mostly two pieces of about 3 cm each. But we do a lot of e-bikes which have 6 or 7 cables in the front. And without something to hold them together they rattle a lot and it just looks messy.

Nice vid
At 5:54 you can see some scratches on the bike, could it be that some parts are touching the bike?
i love your videos
Thanks for the support🧡
Hi there Just watched your channel for Boardman bikes. I like the way you service individual parts and make it looks brand new. Where in London is your shop pls. Thanks
Our shop is in lowestoft Suffolk not london!🧡
Talking about boardman, do you have a brand you really like for bikes?
Orbea, I did a couple Ironman’s on my Orbea so they’ll always have a special place for me
Great video as always. Can I ask wher can one buy the 'pot' for the Molten Speed Wax. I really like it's size.
It’s a cookworks SC-15-R I got mine from Argos in the U.K.
what size and weight requires?
Amazing channel! I do service of my bikes exactly way you do. Just a question, do you open and replace grease inside hubs?
We absolutely do when it’s needed, we’ve done wheel bearings on some of our other videos it just depends job to job on what the bike needs, thanks for watching!🧡
Once again, great video! I have 2 questions:

My chain checker measures over 5 inches and if at any point around the chain it shows wear I advice accordingly.
You didn't cut down the stem?
who needs therapy when you can just watch a Bikespeeds video?
Exactly😉🧡
whats a job like that cost?
i should send u my bike to clean but sadly im from Australia damn u do a great service on bikes
Thanks Dwayne💪🏼🧡
@@Bikespeeds you are quite very welcome
Just out of interest how much do you charge for that kind of service.
I'd be interested to know what you think the benefits are of waxing a chain. I used a wax lubricant a few years ago and hated it. It needed re-applying every 50 to 100 miles, and was then an absolute pain to clean off when swapping back to my normal lubricant.
Did you use moulten wax or a rub on wax?
Neither. I used a liquid wax lubricant, sold as a winter lubricant. It must be wax dissolved in a solvent.
What we use is heated until it’s like water it literally pours into the chain rollers and as it cools for a a coating from the inside. It last a lot longer than 50-100 and is easy to clean off using boiling water. It’s way, way easier to deal with than an oil.
Hi there, what is the best tubless sealant in the market?
We use Doc Blue. I think they are all as good as each other. They all do what they should
@@Bikespeeds
Thanks
can i ask something random i am thinking to buy a similar bike since i never ride this before do you think i would be able to carry a school bag on my bag? like would it fall on my face?
It may slide round. But for a school bike you’d look cool, so you’d figure it out! Good luck and thanks for watching
If I was in the UK I would love to be your shop apprentice and I will work for free!
What do you think of the value of these bike now days they seem better priced than competitors but not by much.
I think most manufacturers build to certain price points. You have to look at them all at the price point you have & see what’s available.
How long does chain wax last? Tried it myself on MTB and after 2 bike washes chain is pinging like it doesnt have any lubricant left.
What wax are you using?
@@Bikespeeds it was paraffin wax melted with mix of ptfe and Tungsten (Wolfram) Disulphide WS2 powder
Could I ship my bike to you from the U.S. ?
Decent
Why do you wax a chain? I don’t get it
Because you don’t get a build up of oil and debris. It keeps everything clean & therefore reduces wear.
How much is a service like this one?
