Thanx man.

Another vote for the advanced class

Very useful. Subbed. Advanced front derailleur video please.

Hello. May i give you a tip please? My headset seized due to water getting into the headset stem and the fork tube was corroding too. I removed the handlebars and used a beer bottle cap with a dab of silicone sealant to plug it. I tapped it in with a socket just clear of the part where the handlebars fit.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

perfecto!!!

WHERE the heck has this fine fella's Channel been my whole long life??!! 🙂old N. Italiano cyclist in SW FL, USA who's never hear/seen better advice!!! thank you...sub'd/liked! buona fortuna... ( ohhhh...how you make one feel embarrassed to start a ride, and looking at their machinery, compared to those in the video. shame-on-me! ) [ watched 3x's! haa ] { to the Presenter, thank you for speaking "legibly" for we non-British cyclists!! so many other's do not, and "worthless" for that, to me & ignored. As, likely, the zillions of other non-Brit-viewers world-wide. Sorry, but true 🙂 Please heed, sir, as I'd like to keep HEARING your great advice evermore! Gotta tell yas, though, the video/illustration-part of this channel is TERRIFIC! }

Thanks so much for sharing your valuable knowledge.

Finally, a pro mechanic showing tyre refit ending at the valve. The number of 'pro' mechanics doing it opposite to this is scary. The valve stops the beads dropping into the well of the rim, preventing the tyre from benefitting from a reduction in effective rim diameter.👍 Not sure on the dish tip. The diameter of the rim is the same on either side, surely? There may be more 'give' in longer spokes however...

Great tips! Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos 👍😁. The information you provide is concise and accurate. I have attempted this job after watching this video, with much success. Thanks for help...🚴

Great video - camera work and instructions. Thank you for taking the trouble of making this and posting. Cheers.

The plate bending trick is brilliant. I've been going crazy trying to find the balance between hesitant (non) upshifting and throwing the chain right off the big ring on my decades old XT front mech. I just subscribed too!

Excellent tip, Thank you for this great video.

Oh boy, I recently installed a bottom bracket and now I have to take it back out again, grease it and put it back together. Thanks for the extra work...

I am currently changing the cables and covers of the brakes and derailleurs and the handlebars and tape. The channel is very interesting and the videos are recorded simply and to the point. I think I have finally found a worthy competitor for the manufacturer of blue bicycle tools. I am waiting for the next videos, especially for video number 15. Best regards and I wish you all the best!

I use the same techniques of 2mm allen key to set the gap, and steel rule to get alignment. It makes adjustment so much easier.

Yes please.. More advanced is more better 🙂

Apparently GT85 no longer contains ptfe

I'm getting some new wheels and someone has told me to get the spokes tensioned before I ride them. Would you agree?

I've been a professional bicycle mechanic and worked inside the industry as a component designer for over 55 years. I have to say, Mr. Brockley, you just gave excellent & perfect instructions on how to set up front derailleurs. I will add a bit of very helpful advice and that is to add a drop or two of oil on the derailleur frame and cable clamp bolts. Why? Because you'll be loosening and tightening these bolts quite a bit and it makes it easier to fine tune the adjustments.

Shimano are the ONLY manufacturer I’ve had that I’ve had broken teeth on the chainrings. Apart from that I’ve used Campag always and never had that problem. Campag wears IN Shimano wears OUT.

No way,......impressed!

Excellent video

This guy makes the best bike maintenance videos on the Internet. Watching this immediately solved a persistent issue on a recently new bike intermittently dropping the chain off the front outer ring. Thank you. The advanced video would be very interesting.

That placement of the ruler against the outer plate (@3:36) for alignment is brilliant.

Yes Please. Advanced front derailleur 'how to'. Many thanks.

Very cool..a bike mechanic names Ducky showed me how to bend the front derellier back in 75! Nice to see it's alive and well in the video!

Thank you sir

Definitely do an advanced front derailleur video please. You may even need to split that into two videos!

Wait, how long you been doing this?😂😂 seriously though, you’ve inspired me to have another go at improving my front mech function❤

I thought grease was used for moving parts and copperslip for non moving?

Excellent video this. (And advanced front-derailleur manipulation vid - yes please!)

Thanks for your videos. I'm always looking for good information, to be a better home bike mechanic.👍

Brilliant... many thanks. I have found correct front derailleur settings to be critically important when using wider range touring triples...to get a good shift up or down, everything has to be spot on. I wish I had seen your video ten years ago which would have prevented all the fits and starts of self-learning.

Fd adjustment = dark art

Thank you.

If my rear derailer falls down the chain and it does not go up,what should i do???

Thank you for this video it’s very helpful

I don't think we can get GT-85 in the states, but I know a lot of bike shops us tri-flow and it sounds similar because I know that too has ptfe.

Great tip Mr Brockley

"oblivious while blasting house music". what a line! But what was there reasoning for shortening the gear adjusted on the RD? Please dont be weight...

mines straight from the shop !

Nice job. Thanks for the pro tips!

Just subbed. Quality videos 👌 first thing I did was go out and buy gt85 😄

Life saver, just replaced crank gear and chain... Time to replace cassette.

My chain cassette are brand new, so this really provides no help.

Hi there, can you advise? I’ve just replaced my cassette, chain and rear derailleur. All Shimano 11 speed 105. But mainly on the large chain ring and under pressure/incline, the chain jumps quite badly. I’ve been told the teeth maybe warn on the large ring.
