Hi Tom, Looking at the description of the larger bushes you used, the body or backing of the bush is steel, so be sure and coat the outer of the bush in something otherwise you could end up with electrolytic corrosion between the bush outer and the aluminium bike parts, one can be sacrificial to the other. We use some bushes at work that are called "Oilite Bushes" they are oil impregnated, sintered bronze bushes, available in regular and shouldered versions, not sure you'd find that exact size, as that is 1mm wall thickness your using, but they can be machined. At work we would press them in, then ream the bore to suit the pin or bolt, they are heavily used in industry and classed as self lubricating.
Hi Rick, you're absolutely right about the interaction between the dissimilar metals. I believe I do mention that I oil the bushing before pushing it in to the part but I probably should have gone into more detail. I thought about turning down some bronze bushings for the larger pins but decided that it was just way easier to go with the shells that I used! Always nice to get an expert opinion on things, thank you!
Thanks for instructive video ! 👍
Amazing content. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
I just pulled the trigger on one of these bikes. I was hesitant as I'm a bigger guy. I don't really think that rear air shock will last at my current weight and am looking at oil/coil rear shocks for it. Hopefully I'll shed some pounds as I plan to ride everyday. Thanks for the links to the bushings. I ordered them as I live in a dusty desert area of California and can see these going away quickly in the sandy areas we have. Really enjoying your videos as I'm an older guy also.
Hi Mike, thanks for watching the videos, I'm glad they are somewhat informative! Your new bushings should hang in there for quite a while even in dusty conditions, but definitely good to have the better set on hand!
I lost 10 pounds the first couple of months of riding without even trying, so there are definitely some great health benefits to having an ebike that you ride regularly. It's also a great way to just clear your mind and relax, I love it!
Give the stock shock a chance and see how it does, I'm 190 lbs and it has worked perfectly for me. In fact it's still like new after more than 1000 miles. Hope you have fun with the new bike!
This is a great video Tom. Very clearly shot and very well explained. On the bushings, what do you lubricate the inside of the bushing with where the pin goes".
Hi Geoffery, I have been using Permatex ultra slick. I's an assembly lube that is very slippery and stays put. Thicker than oil but thinner than a heavy grease. Good stuff for this kind of use. Cheers
Hi Tom great video much appreciated as I’m thinking of doing the same after seeing your video. I’ve changed my forks to single crown air. And need to purchase a new headset kit, would you have any suggestions or what the measurements would be. Would really help me out thanks. I know you changed your forks to air and swooped the without moving the headset, I want to fit single crown. Thanks
Hi Stephen, thanks for watching. Doubling the bushing surface area really made a big difference in the durability of the rear end. As soon as you start to get some slop in the rear linkage I think it;s a great upgrade.
Sorry I don't have any specs on the headset on these bikes. You should be able to tap out your races and get the measurements you need easy enough, I just don't have plans to take my apart for a spring cleaning until next month. Cheers
Thanks for the reply, I got a hope headset way better, as for rear suspension I got some replacement bushes from cyrusher free as the ones on some rangers are not thick enough and cause play in the rear suspension. All fitted now and spot on. 👌
@@stephenrichards2283 Awesome Stephen, glad to hear it!
Perfect 👍 thank you! Do you also have an article number of the second smaller Bushings? Would be Great. With this numbers the right ones are easy to find online.
You're very welcome! The small bushings are 8mm inner / 10mm outer, 10mm long. Ebay item number is 404032627439 You can also buy the 12mm long bushings and file the length down for a perfect fit, The actual width of the ear that the go into is right at 11mm. That is what I did to get the full width, also thoroughly cleaned everything with alcohol and used a drop of threadlocker in the hole to ensure the bushing doesn't rotate in the part.
@@lifebehindbarz60 Thank you soo much !!!
Would be nice to know where you sourced the bushings!
Hello, The small bushings are 8mm inner / 10mm outer, 10mm long. Ebay item number is 404032627439. You'll need two to do the job but I bought several so I have spares. You can also buy the 12mm long bushings and file the length down for a perfect fit, The actual width of the ear that the go into is right at 11mm. That is what I did to get the full width, also thoroughly cleaned everything with alcohol and used a drop of threadlocker in the hole to ensure the bushing doesn't rotate in the part. The large permaglide bushings are Ebay item number 185592323112. There is also an intermediate sized bushing on the seat post tube, but mine was still tight and showed zero wear so I didn't replace that one.
Bonjour merci pour la video
Serait il possible d avoir les renseignements pour trouver vos pieces pour le faire sur mon ranger .merci
Hello, I'm happy that the video was some help to you. Give me a few days and I'll try to add the parts list to the description on this video. Cheers
I assume you already put a new chain on when assembling togehter - did you rivet it together or use a lock?
Hello, I ordered a new chain but didn't realize it was only 116 link so I can't use it..... reordered a longer chain but don't have it yet. Right now I'm just running the original chain with a lock link in it. The two piece locks don't look too sturdy but I've never had one come apart when riding and it sure is nice to be able to easily remove the chain for cleaning!
@@lifebehindbarz60 I thought of a Shimano chain if I have to change, but the matching 9-speed chains usually have 116 or 138 links. Then I guess it must be shortened, I counted 128 links in the Ranger chain. I would then probably like to use a lock.
Hey Tom
Do you happen to know the size of the mounting kit for the rear Shock if I plan on another shock. For the upper and lower.
Hi Lance, sorry I do not. You'll have to pull your shock and take some measurements.
Let me know what shock you buy and what you think of the performance! I know there are a few people interested in experimenting with other shocks.
Cheers
@@lifebehindbarz60 I'm thinking of the fox flow DPS. If I do it I'll let you know. Do you happen to remember the size of the bolt you used as far as diameter. I know you replaced it with a solid unthreaded one.
Hello, always so excellent in the maintenance and improvement of this ranger! Bravo, can you specify the dimension of the half-threaded screw: length and diameter? to order one on eBay, and where to find the socket? Or specify the dimensions? (video 7'27) Thank you very much, cordially Sylvain
Hi Sly, thanks for watching! Can you tell me what socket you are referring to? What is it for? Thanks, Tom
Hello, my questions concern the video where you replace the shock absorber fixing rings of the ranger thank you
@@sylchatzen3709 Hi Syl, check out ebay item number 404330945277
Hello, the eBay number does not work in France, do you have the dimensions possibly? Sincerely
@@sylchatzen3709 Hi Syl, try doing an internet / ebay search for the following: INA 18 mm ID x 20 mm OD x 22 mm Long Permaglide Plain Bearing EGF18220-E40
Anyone know of a good brake pad for the ranger ?.
Hi Mark, yes I recommend the Tektro E10.11 organic pads. They have a nice progressive feel and get rid of your brake squeal!
Wich type of the rockshox do you use?
Hello, the shock that I will eventually put on the bike is a Rockshox BAR. The body diameter is very close to stock and it will fit in the frame opening nicely.
Vielen Dank, welchen Durchmesser haben die Buchsen des original Dämpfers oben und unten?
@@hondadaxperformance8370 You're welcome, If I remember right they are 12mm, but please check what is on your bike to confirm. Cheers
Je suis sidéré de constater qu' il y a un filetage sur toute la longueur de l'axe inférieur de l'amortisseur 😑 c'est volontaire ou bien c'est une erreur d'usinage ?? 🤨🤔 Pourriez vous vérifier si ce problème est également présent sur le Nitro ?? Merci d'avance 😊
Hello, I'm sorry but I don't see anything like what you're describing on my bike. Is it something you see in my video? If so please tell me at what point in the video it is shown and I'll try to answer your question. Cheers
C'est à la fin de la vidéo, avant le remontage du triangle arrière. La fixation de l'amortisseur arrière, il y a un filetage (a thread) sur toute la longueur de l'axe, le point de friction doit être lisse normalement. C'est cet axe que vous remplacez sur votre vidéo.
@@breizhfrankiz3333 Hello, Oh OK, I believe you are talking about the point where I show the fully threaded bolt that came stock on the bike and the smooth shouldered bolt that I replaced it with. There should definitely not be threads in this area to avoid friction and wear! I can't tell you where to get the replacement bolt...... just something I had in my stash of hardware. Cheers
🧐@@lifebehindbarz60
@@breizhfrankiz3333 Thank you very much for watching my videos, I'm glad they provide some useful information! Yes, definitely don't want the shock pivoting on a threaded bolt.
I will be doing a Nitro and Ranger comparison video very soon so please watch out for that. You may be surprised which bike I think is better (or maybe not!)
Cheers
