Great old video of harmonica vibration at work...search the tecumseh bridge disaster

Thanks heaps guys for answering my question at the start about winter bike washing without water. I'll seek out those Silca gear wipes! 👍🏼🧽

Speed wobble caused by wrong Fork trail for the frame. Get to a certain speed and it just happens. I changed my forks for a bigger trail and the problem went away. I would not expect it in a SL7 but maybe their is an issue at say 80kph.

Excellent

The mirror world is a hoax. ..until you find the drivetrain that is on the left side.

Ask her if she'd be willing to leave her fancy Macbook Pro or similar outside because you don't like it being in the house.

I always put the bike into the highest gear which makes it much harder for someone to jump on and ride away. Also a reusuable zip tie around the frame and rear wheel will also help. Cheers

Don’t forget that the front wheel is seeing pretty close to the same loads etc. So a set of nice tires! Were the testers including the “load” of the front in their watt calculations.

I think the left pedal thread being ccw is not a “bearing” thing. It’s a “rocking” thing. Loosen one a bit, then “rock” it around in a circle like an ice-cream cone. The threads will climb out one direction and climb in in the other.

I would suggest that Shimano's group sets do not actually offer dollar value (bang for your buck). You pay way too much for their products...they have become like 'Apple' where it's just a customer 'scam and rip-off'!

The Silca Gear Wipes canister: "Exit only Ollie."

Hello, please make an episode about real winter cycling. English winter is a warm autumn for me. I cycle throughout the year, of which 5-6 months are winter cycling, when the temperature is -5C to -30C and the snow is 30-100cm.

Ollie's reaction to Connor's defense of bikes on the balcony.....priceless

Major RED FLAG! Put the girlfriend outside & the bike can share the bed! Just leave her!

Theres an oil addative you can add to youre wax for just those cold situations!

Speed wobbles can also be caused by 6.9 earthquakes generated by the eruption of Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii Island…

Ollie - check out Silca’s new video about adding their Synerg-E to Super Secret Wax for winter/super cold riding. They say that adding a strip chip will remove the Synerg-E when it’s time to go back to warm weather waxing.

I can change a flat in the time it takes to watch this

Speed wobbles can be caused by bad wheel bearings

New drinking game - every slow zoom on Ollie explaining physics... drink!

Dr. Bridgewood, I promise to be on time to lecture next week, I promise 😂 great episode, good information

😂

Both of my parents are righties, I'm a lefty. Also my aunt/uncle are lefties but both of their kids are righties.

#askgcntech What is the best detergent to use for cycling kit? My washing machine has a setting for “Activerwear” and it assumes I’m using a gentle detergent. Is there a cycling kit specific detergent you recommend? Thank you in advance!

Wetwipes?..... Microfibre clothes just entered the building.....🤨

Hiplok is the best! If someone really wants your bike not much will stop them. These are more than enough for the opportunist. To be fair where I live theft is incredibly rare but it makes me feel better if I’m leaving 10k+ of bikes out at the mall.

Can’t wash bike?use a polish like Mother’s CMX. Nothing sticks. I wash my bike like twice a year. If I was in a super cold climate I’d use that and if it really needed a wash, take out a bucket of warm water and a brush.

Who cares.

I suffered speed wobble going downhill behind a truck (at a safe distance). I don’t know if the truck caused some resonance or if it was due to the turbulences also caused by the truck, but it made me think of selling my bike and getting a new one😅

15:55 Quick tip, if you are having difficulty pronouncing a name, try reading it backwards.

DO NOT STORE YOUR BIKE OUTSIDE!!!

speed wobbles can also be caused by small tremors when you are cold. Try putting on a jacket

For popping into shops and peace of mind whilst within range a motion alarm would be a good idea and instead of using a zip style locks through the wheels wrap one around each brake lever and keep the wheels locked by the brakes. Deflate the front tyre and dangle your spare inner tube over the bars or split the bike chain and leave a tool on the floor (not the chain splitter) Draw attention to maintenance issues if no other security option in this situation.

In theory, would a quick bunny hop resolve a speed wobble? I've not been lucky or unlucky enough to be able to test this out, but has someone else been able to try this and does it work in real life application?

So, Pedro's made something like this years ago and it was brilliant cuz it works and then they stopped making it like dumbasses cuz it really does get those hard to get tires over the rim. Wheelchair tires or sometimes the worst. Source. Working a bike shop

The pads are simply touching one another on the back wheel. I've loosened 4 bolts, tinkered around, the godam caliper don't get loose. I've watched 20 youtube videos. Spent like 5 hrs trying to loose the calipers. It's like these guys talk about things entirely different to common experience. Nothing relates to nothing. It's the first time I'm having a carerra crossfire 2. And it's a fecking living nightmare. I have to spend more time and money to take this shit of a bike to some experienced shop or back to fecking halfords. I wonder why the company didn't centralise the godam disk in the first place? Would've saved me tens of hours of torment.

Put several layers of good quality car wax (or silicone spray, and polish) on a perfectly clean frame. Then, when it gets muddy or needs to be cleaned, just let it dry and brush off the dirt with a paint brush. This is actually ideal if you store your bike indoors and don't have a place to wash your bike. Vacuum up the debris. If you hang your bike on the wall, just put a rubber mat under the bike and it will catch the debris. Washing a bike with water is really not necessary, as only professionals promoting a brand need to have the bike perfectly clean. The chain and drive train can also be wiped with a rag and re-lubricated, which will also keep it clean without washing.

Lots of good responses regarding speed wobble. One more to mention is wheel skewer tension. Make sure it's appropriately tight. Just like some can make a noise that sounds like a creaky bottom bracket if not tight, they can also allow wobble. The one time I actually had speed wobble on my bike, it was me. Had just finished a climb, was sweaty, then descended. It was chilly out, and I didn't realize I was borderline shivering. Concentrated on not doing that and solved the problem.

Love the fact that one of my comments made it into a video! 😀

anticlockwise is not a word .. But you knew that.

Someone must make a winter girlfriend/boyfriend cover surely

Ollie calling cow manure. Love it.

ASTONISHING BROW!!
