The knobby knife was really intended for motocross knobbies that get worn down rounded really fast on rocks, and square knobbies give much more traction in mud and sand. It can extend the useful life of the tire. It's not that motorcycle tires are more expensive, they're just much much harder to change.

I've got a couple things to add as a bike mechanic -there is an attachment you can get for your truing stand to true disk brake rotors, it can either be an arm that you can adjust in tiny increments and hear when it's rubbing, or it can be a gauge that has very fine measurements that are felt by a spring-loaded piston. -Another thing that can work for pulling cables through a frame is a vacuum and either dental floss or fishing line. Feed it into one end and use the vacuum to pull it through the other hole, then similarly tape it to the cable.

Save yourself money and just use an old brake caliper on your bike as a truing gauge. That way however you tune or tweak it, that's how it will be on your bike.

The third hand tool actually has a much more practical application. When you replace housing, it can be hard to get new ferrules seated all the way. Customer picks up their bike, shifts it, ferrules settle on there more, and now the bike shifts like garbage and the customer is unhappy. This is what a lot of mechanics call "cable stretch" because it makes it sound like it isn't their fault. The third hand let's you put tension on the housing to seat those ferrules completely so you know it is going to keep shifting well when it gets picked up and ridden. I use it on every new bike I build and every time I replace housing or ferrules.

re: cable puller, yours and mine both have a locking mechanism which allows you to pull the cable, lock it in place at that tension, letting go of it completely, and doing fine adjustments on cable pull, testing travel at the lever, before locking it down. This allows you to start the barrel adjusters all the way in, for maximum adjustment as the cable stretches and brake pads wear off. It can be especially nice when working on cheaper friends' bikes, as the cables on these can't take more than one or two clamping down, so it's nice to just have that brake cable tension dialed before even clamping once. I would dare say this is a tool that's more useful the cheaper the bikes you work on! With better bikes, hydraulic brakes don't require this, and shifter cables don't need quite as much force.

@LongPeter3 жыл бұрын
Those chain cleaners are great. You don’t need to fill them with degreaser/wash every time though. Sometimes I use mine dry just to knock the grit off if the last clean and lube was still fairly recent and I want to ride immediately. If you have a wash/degreaser bottle with a spray gun on top, put the scrubber on dry or with a little water in it. Then, spray the cleaning agent on the cassette and chain while backpedaling through the scrubber. Works very well and is much more efficient on cleaner. If you are going to fill it up to the line, you’ll want the chain as level as possible. Bike on the ground, in a corner where the front wheel and handle bars are supported by walls works well, especially with a brick behind the front wheel. Then, choose a high gear for the right chain angle.

I carry my bike with the wheels off in the trunk of my car. On my very first trip with my brand new road bike, the chain got stuck between the carbon frame and the front derailleur, removing large chunks of the paint in the process. Been using a dummy hub ever since ! Save your frame, get one too !

Sir Seth, I wish that you were local so I could show you how I TOTALLY clean my chain, cut my cable housing, and do other maintenance. I have and still can work at a bike collective in the area where I live, which is in Orem, Utah . . . Mountains round about. I really like your channel . . .I learn.

Thanks. I had no idea on a few of these tools. As often as I work on my own bikes I don't think many worth the money. Wish I had more time to work on my bikes and ride more often. Keep up the great vids

You could've used that tire knob cutter to remove the little thin pieces that were hitting the mudguard on that last parts bin build you did.

3rd hand tools really only make life easier on mechanical brakes. I used to try to get derailleurs with them, but there's no point as they will hardly fit any derailleur. Take some pliers, and remove the slack then use the adjuster barrel. Also a TM-1 is a lot more intricate than you portrayed it. And it really only needs to be used by people that have enough knowledge to build wheels. If you don't know what you're doing I reccomend getting wheels trued by a shop because you will probably not get it right and your wheels will have weak spots.

It's not a third hand tool, and if you don't work on cable brakes you're not a bicycle mechanic.

WH-1 Is the tool no one asked for or knew they wanted until it was a thing ... so good I have one at the shop and one at home.

When he said a lot of home mechanics dont have the cable puller, I was genuinely shocked. I use my cable puller all the time. Always when adjusting cables or new builds. That tool is a must have. As needed as a chain tool.

best spoke tension meter ever, and it's FREE: any guitar tuner app. The spoke should play a G over middle C with plain gauge spokes or A over middle C with butted spokes (both notes for 700C wheels at road tension, YMMV).

correction: he used it 3 times on the channel. the third time was when he was making the murder machine single-speed

the tire cutter is absolutely useful for offroaders who have a second set of tires for their jeep, or a second jeep dedicated to trail riding... I have to agree with your looks of confusion as to it's usefulness on a bike
