      Check wheels and bottom bracket for looseness, check the chain for stretch, check the hub and chainrings for wear. Check wheels for true and round and dish. Check pedals for too loose or too tight

    • @KapiteinKrentebol

      Overall good tips, maybe one to add is to clean the chain with someting like wd-40 before lubing.
      In my experience 75% of bad shifting drivetrains come because of inflexible chains which sometimes appear clean but are just too sticky.

      I wonder why people use a disc truing fork 😂 i just take off the disc put it in a flat wooden surface and hammer it with a mallet till the thing cries "I'm straight I'm straight" before i install it again. I may be a little crazy but i would also rotate the disc on a flat surface with a filling tool placed on top to make sure the disc is flat or even by it's edges and even just use a heat blower to burn off whatever invisible film you may not be able to see. I do similar for brake pads when giving a through clean, slight filling and heat blowing.

    • @soldier2gud4me
      @soldier2gud4me 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Obviously for 6 bolt brake rotors you can do both sides but for lock rotors only the side facing upwards when placed flat.

  • @dimrub
    @dimrub 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +76

    I've been taught to center the calipers (either disc or rim) by unscrewing them until they are loose, then pressing on the lever, so that the pads are pressing on the disc (and thus are centered) then tightening again.

    • @bchearne
      @bchearne 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Depends on the problem. If your pistons aren’t clean you’ll just be trying to compensate for a stuck piston that way. You should be able to align the caliper itself to achieve even piston extension if they’re moving freely. The piston position can be way out if you just squeeze the levers to center it

    • @Charles_-zw6zk
      @Charles_-zw6zk 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree with that. That is what I expected to hear in the video. Is that not a good practice? Doing it "by eye" sounds worse to me (at least with my eyes)

    • @SonnyDarvish
      @SonnyDarvish 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Just like what @@bchearne said. I always did the lever trick, but had scenarios where brake pads were worn out at one side, later found that the piston needed to be cleaned, not that the caliper needed to be moved.

  • @randymaclean2707
    @randymaclean2707 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    When adjusting a caliper, you can loosen the bolts, then pull on the brake lever, and retighten the bolts while the brake is firmly engaged. The caliper will center perfectly on the disc leaving your brake well-aligned. (This is only for hydraulic brakes that clamp the pad to the disc from both sides. Mechanical brakes that squeeze only one side will need to be carefully aligned as in your video.)

    I am absolutely horrible at adjusting gears and derailleurs but one thing I have learned is you can get get different results from adjusting your barrel adjustor on a bike stand and doing it while riding. I personally believe it's better to do it while riding because you are putting stress and pressure on the chain, crank, cassette, and cable so your adjustment will actually hold. But I've found that when adjusting on a bike stand that it will be fine on the bike stand but then once I get on the bike and ride it the adjustment was off. But then again as i mentioned I REALLY suck at adjusting gears, lol.

      My barrel adjust is on the deraileur. I shift to the lowest gear, turn the adjuster "too far" then shift to 2nd, (Then it should be still in 1st) then loosen the adjuster on a stand while peddling and wait for it to go into 2nd.

  • @antc5010
    @antc5010 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Great video for the basics. Being able to sort disk caliper / pad rub on the trail is an essential skill. But it's also worthy to check back at base that the caliper is centred over the disc. Generally this is easy as most calipers comprise 2 halves bolted together, so the joining face should align with the disc. If not, this may indicate stiction of 1 piston (or piston set) due to disk residue or grit build up around the exposed part of the piston. A good clean of the assembly with the pads removed will usually sort this to new. Cleaning the piston actually involves a bit more work in terms of actuating the brakes to expose more surface, but beware not to pop a piston and remember to push the pistons back carefully with a strong plastic lever (be especially careful levering ceramic pistons).

  • @teecee4459

    Thanks! I had no idea what the barrel adjuster was, but when i heard you discussing it in this video I immediately knew that was what i needed to fiddle with to fix my shifting issue.

    If you've just fixed a flat, reinstalled your wheel and you're getting brake rub that you weren't before, it's almost always that you're wheel isn't centered. Make sure it's centered before messing with caliper adjustment.

    10:29 if your caliper gets out of whack you should clean the pistons before you realign it. It’s probably gone wonky because the pistons are sticking a bit and the problem will just recur if you don’t take the time to get the grit off the pistons

  • @Greeniykyk
    @Greeniykyk 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good video. You don't mention how to ensure the headset isn't too tight. I pick up the bike from the saddle nose, allowing the front wheel to hang with the steerer tube roughly vertical and swing the wheel (or handlebars) to one side and let go. The front end should smoothly swing back to center with an oscillation or two. If it can't, loosen pinch bolts, loosen the top bolt an eighth of a turn or so. Retorque the pinch bolts and repeat checks.
    You can also check by riding hands off. If you crash right away it was too tight.

  • @philippecardin1109
    @philippecardin1109 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the caliper alignment issue, you can also remove the brake pads from the caliper and give a little bit more tension to your pad spring that hold the pads in place, it's made of stainless steel.
    Just pull it appart gently in order to make the opening a bit wider, then put back your pads in the caliper.
    The pads will now have a little bit more facility to come back closer to the pistons than before, therefore clearing your brake disc more easy.

  • @DirtlovR
    @DirtlovR 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Measuring your fork's/damper's travel with a ruler might not be a good idea. My 160mm Fox 36 stanchions measure 170mm from seal to crown and my Float X measures 65mm even though it's 60mm. Same with my 140mm X-Fusion Sweep Boost, it's 150mm seal to crown. Check the manufacturer website for information if you're unsure what travel is your suspension. Fox for example offers an easy to use tool where you put the serial number of your fork/damper and it gives you the exact specification as well as set up and service manuals.

    Near 9:24 the Park Tool Torque wrench is used to loosen a bolt. The instructions with mine wrench say that this will cause the wrench to no longer be calibrated. Sorry if this is a duplicate comment.

    • @gmbntech
      @gmbntech  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At low torque it won't mess with your calibration on a proper torque wrench to undo a bolt. These torque tools however are fixed in reverse, friction slip torque for forwards, so again, all good for low torque undo-ing :)

    When I was 11 years old, six decades ago, I soaked up maintenance skills by osmosis. Dad was a commercial airline mechanic. My brothers and I started out servicing dirty bearings on our skateboards, detail stripping, solvent washing, greasing, reassembling, and properly tensioning cone and jamb nuts. We quickly graduated to bicycle work, fixing flats, servicing wheel and bottom bracket bearings, replacing shift and brake cables and brake pads, etc. No TH-cam, no Park Tool manuals, but a well equipped shop, and Dad available for expert advice. The bikes were ours, and it was assumed that we would handle routine maintenance; it was part of the air we breathed.
    A few years back I was in my local bike shop, and was shocked and appalled that people were bringing in bikes to have flat tires repaired. My older brother in the Bay Area goes around every week and picks up bicycles put out on the curb for the garbage men to haul to the dump, cleans, repairs, and adjusts them and then sells them for $100 - $200. He disparages the modern generation who “don’t know which way to turn a screwdriver.”
    Kudos to people like you and others for helping people develop the skills and confidence to have the agency to do minor maintenance.

    Great video. As someone who has used torque wrenches all of my professional life, recommend only using them for bolt-on torquing operations to make sue they stay within calibration. Torque wrenches are generally made to go in one direction, and using them in reverse can cause their torque settings to drift.

      Oh it's easy enough to do. I've eeen this happen to a few folks who somehow didn't have enough headset spacers and they kept tightening the headset screw. In fact, if I have to remove a starnut (installing EDC multitool) and the starnut is close to the top of the head tube, instead of pounding it to the bottom, I use a bunch of headset spacers and the screw to tighten it out the top.

    • @BlueGoose2
      @BlueGoose2 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      edit: ...the "bearing seals" would crush...
      ... if a star nut can pull UP that easily, then it's either installed wrong (bent) or something is out of tolerance, like the nut itself or the fork. In some cases they can be pushed through the bottom for removal, but not all fork steertubes are wide enough to let this happen

    3:04 thats actually WRONG
    You adjust the barrel adjuster 1 maybe 2 clicks, THEN you shift one gear back and one gear forward. If done correctly you will need less total clicks on the barrel adjuster to go into bigger gear when shifting. Most people go too far on the adjustment because they dont test the shifting and simply "wait" until it automatically shifts one gear up while adjusting.

    Why not 170 multiplied by .3 (%30)?!

      I just wanted people to know it was a percentage, i.e. out of 100. But yes, that's works too! 😄

    Great tips! With bike prices as obscene as they are, even with "sales", it's a shame to have your bike ride like a cheap department store bike because you don't know how to tweak the setup.

    You don't align your brakes by eye. You loosen the caliper bolts, apply the brakes, and then tighten the bolts. Then, they are perfectly straight in the position at which they are clamping.

    I am posing the following question to any bike experts who know a lot about hydraulic brakes. This question concerns a recent real life situation. What do you think of a bike manufacturer who sends a customer a $1400 bike with DOT4 oil in both hydraulic brake reservoirs that were clearly labeled "MINERAL OIL"? The customer wondered why ALL his brake fluid leaked out at around 970 miles.

    You know what's the scary bit? that there is a need to make these videos (and I know there is!)
    People tend to just leave the bike's adjustments and service to the mechanics and I think everyone should do their own maintenance.
    Reliance on someone else is silly. The number of times I see people just not have their bikes ready because it's at the mechanics is staggering! (and the money they spend 😬)
