good video and tips, just passed on a little girls bike, (before seeing this) all pink (very good condition) and working perfect, didn't have the heart to take it and destroy it (plus i wasn't sure if it was worth it). i guess i could have taken it and sold it cheep, just realized my neighbor is having a garage sale, oh well.
Thanks for another very interesting video. Very useful as some time ago I found a dumped Ancheer electric bike with aluminium alloy frame, carbon steel fork, motor on rear wheel too. Both wheels without tyres. Looked like it had been dumped ages ago as it looked quite weathered. A shame really. These bikes are not that old either, maybe 2 or 3 years since thier release onto the market. One question about these wheels on this bike, I did search on it and the wheels are double layer aluminum alloy. Is that the same as the usual alluminum for a wheel? Not sure what they mean by double layer. Is there a difference? Thanks for any info you may know on this. P.s I also came across a dumped brass double bed, brass tubing, non magenetic, yellow throughout so not powdered coating.cCecked online and retailing around $3000, solid brass decorative end knobs and steel inserts for connecting the parts together. Should fetch a tidy sum I would think.. I cannot believe what some people simply dump on the side of a road or back alleyway.
We have very old bike parts in our basement. Rusted chains, bike parts left by a man who used to work on bikes. I plan on scrapping all of it. Would I get dirty aluminum because of all the rust? The bike chain is magnetic so I assume steel? I am considering the safest option to approaching the scrapyard which I have never done before since I am concerned about punctures to my car tires. Any suggestions since I am new to scrapping. Thanks.
Hi recently found a bike wheel with a brass shaft. Unfortunately, there is steel in the center and I must figure what's the best way to take it out. Probably with the grinder.
What he didn't tell you was that there is a piece of steel in bicycle rims about 2 in long you have to cut that out or they will not give you aluminum price you will get shred which is where I live is like three or 5 cents a pound
Nipples are usually brass or aluminium, spokes can be stainless steel. Did you come across eyeleted rim? Do you have to remove eyelets to get alu price? and if yes what would be easiest way?
FYI, total was 10.1 lbs of extrusion from the 9 rims. Easy and fast cash!
Bolt Croppers For The Spokes,Less Noise,Cuts Easy,And Spokes Just Fall Out.
Some rims have a seam that needs to be cut out to make it totally clean.
very good didnt know the spokes would just fall out thanks buddy
Awesome video my friend!
As always, thank you for watching and the comment. Stay well and happy scrapping
Thanks Tin man; I never considered bike rims

Did U take the pins out that hold the rim in shape, they r magnetic also!!! Use a bolt cutter, easy on ur wrists and no hydro!!

I'm also the same about tires. If I need to just go and check something out with them I park further down the street and walk in 👍

Sometimes the spokes are stainless steel.
If they arnt stainless they are usually brass
The nipples on the spokes that is
@@taylorbelge5957 if they aren't stainless or brass, they are usually silver.
