I was thinking about doing this to my vintage nishiki road bike and wanted a video to see if it can be done and this was the first video that came up on KZbin. Thank you so much.

I think you should have separated the cassette sprockets, if you could of course and then you may have got a better result.

Unfortunately this cassette was riveted, but I’d definitely take them apart if possible

So i just bought a track rear wheel and deciding to swap it to a front wheel, will i have to do the same steps as in the video shown?

@Walshibikes 14 күн бұрын

Putting a rear wheel on the front would be a bit unconventional since the sprocket gear may cause the spoke dishing to be asymmetrical. However if the overall width of the hub fits in the front, technically it could be done using this process

so the cone nut most be just hand tight?

@Walshibikes Ай бұрын

Yes, snug them down enough so there’s no wiggle room, but loose enough that the wheel bearings still spin without much friction. The outer lock nut that threads against the cone nut though should be as tight as you can get it

Great video. I'm a newbie. Are these quick release universal fit for all bikes or are there specific ones for each bike? Thank you

@Walshibikes 2 ай бұрын

Some higher end bikes will have what’s called a thru axle which is different, but for most common bikes a regular quick release axle like in the video is standard! There’s lots of material online walking you through the differences if you’re new

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. So many videos do the wheels with the disc brakes. I wish I could tip the video. Also the cone nuts that came with the replacement kit were twice as narrow as the cone nuts that were in the bike. Using the kit’s cone nuts the front wheel was wobbly. Using the original cone nuts fixed the problem.

As in replace an existing quick release axle for a bolted one? You definitely can, it’s the same process just the other way around. Bolted axles are a bit more secure from theft if that’s what you’re looking for

I’ve watched quite a few bike cleaning ultrasonic videos now and everyone forgets that an ultrasonic cleaner is not only for bikes, there are many other tasks you can put to use for. Cleaning reading glasses, sink dirt catches. The dishwasher filter. So in analyzing whether it’s worth it, you should also take that into account. Also three or 4 L may be better for occasional use.

Sweet! What about the rear axle? Is it the same process?

@Walshibikes 4 ай бұрын

Same process but a bit more complicated to measure. Rear wheel hubs aren’t all necessarily centred since one side needs to accommodate the width of your freehub/freewheel. The rear spokes are also dished asymmetrically for this reason. It’s possible, but make sure you measure the original distance between your hub and frame dropouts so that the new axle can go back in exactly the same spot

Love the Hammer. Used to ride that loop way back when, before bike lanes and trails. Took the stairs up (a choice of several, something else Hamilton should be appreciated for) and Beckett down (although Jolly Cut was fun too). Never in rush hour obviously. If you timed it right, between clusters of cars, you'd have that downhill adrenaline rush all to yourself. Hard left at the bottom was nervy, especially if there were any upbound traffic, pedals up and don't touch that curb. The cycling infrastructure in the Hammer is actually quite good and getting better all the time. Thanks for the memories Issac.

@Walshibikes 4 ай бұрын

Sounds fun! Lately my favourite loop is to climb the Brantford Rail Trail to Dundas, and then descend back down Govenors Rd. That spits you out towards McMaster where I ride through campus and Westdale, then down to princess point and around the waterfront. Finally you can finish riding through downtown to get back wherever you started. It’s about 30km and it gives you a perfect mix of riding conditions and Hamilton scenery. Highly recommend!

Why install the skewer on the non drive side ... is it a preference?

@Walshibikes 5 ай бұрын

On a rear wheel, the lever would be on the non-drive side so that it doesn’t interfere with the derailleur. It’s customary to match the front wheel lever location to the same side, but it’s not required

Sounds like your wheel may need to be trued. Take it to a bike shop and see if they can straighten it out before reinstalling, if it’s wobbly that’ll make the biggest difference

Yes! process should be exactly the same as long as your new axle is the same width as your old one. The new axle will likely come with a correct length QR skewer

Hey Isaac, I really admie your work here. That bike has obviously been well maintained. Just one suggestion though, you should put a light film of grease on the spindle before you insert it, so there is some form of a barrier between the spindle and bearing faces. Same with the BB threads. A thin film of grease there might save you a lot of heartache down the road.

Love the bike design kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
