I fucked up and left my bike outside all winter. I was just going to buy a new bike cuz I dont have the knowledge, tools, or space to fix it. I think if I watch these vidoes I could do it myself. It was a cheap $700 mountain bike I got at the peak of covid. It was all I could find cuz nothing was instock at the time. With some upgraded parts it would be a dope bike and with help of these videos I think I could do it myself.

You can absolutely do it yourself. And a 700 dollar bike is definitely worth fixing up. The main tools you need are Allen wrenches, a chain tool, chain whip, a pedal wrench, and maybe a crank puller if you're feeling really dangerous.

This was fun & satisfying to watch. When I was 10, up until I joined the US Navy at 20, I did all my own bike maintenance and repairs & took things apart to see how they worked. I turned 20 in Dec of 1988. It's been a long time since I've done any bike work. When I happened onto your YT channel in 2016, you inspired me to get my 1st full suspension mtb. Tyvm. But I now take my bikes, especially my Emtb, to a local bike shop. Since the end of Covid19, I started acquiring some bike repair tools so I can do some of my own work. So far, so good. For the really technical work, the bikes go to the shop. I will take on some of the more difficult work eventually. As always, maintain your excellence and peace out.

Finally - you overhauled the hub bearings at 1:27:09 ! Here's my time-tested and proven solution. I use Molybdenum Disulfide grease - it is far more durable than standard bike greases, and a big bonus is that it reduces the annoying click-click-click of the freewheel to almost perfect silence levels. You'll hear only about 40-45dB noise. For best results, Clean first, and then Grease BOTH the Axle Bearings AND the Freehub pawls. Just before closing up the Freehub and Bearings, apply a few drops of Mobil1 Synthetic 5W40, which keeps the grease flowing between the bearings, and prevents it from being pushed to the sides. I can easily go 10 years between bearing service with this solution - yes, I have 3 bikes over 30 years old, all in as-new mechanical condition.

Thanks I love bike repairs. Actually, I repair all my Bikes and some of my friends and family all by myself for years now, cause I overthrow with my local bikeshop. He didnt want to repair my hardtail called it a piece of junk etc etc... Thats how I learned fixing my bikes. But what I wanted to tell. A few years ago I restored an old racebike from the 70s and saved it from the junkyard. It has a gel saddle at that time. I agree that most of them are junk but I took the challenge that time to improve the old one by replacing the old cloth with goatleather and it worked perfectly, now the saddle is smooth and watertight. Rides very well. Just to save the name of gelsaddles. Like your vids.

I have learned sooooo much from you. Hopefully I can teach you something 😜 On the bearing is usually a number imprinted. Such as 6031 2rs. The first number is the bearing code to match the sizes, the second part is the shield of the bearing. 2 rs means 2 rubber shield. The metal shield has a different letter and you can get them with one shield. On bearings for height rpm you also have the abec number which is the precision of the bearing and ultimately run speed. The bigger the number the faster.. Hope that helped a bit for future identification.

This is what I like plus Shimano knows their stuff when it comes to bikes components and fishing reels . It's cheap and a do it yourself type of guy or girl can knock it out in less than an hr .

You could switch to 2x10. So you would have one chainring less, but with a 10 speed you still get enough gear spread ratio. 1 x with 10 speed means your gear spread ratio will be restricted, which will be fine for downhill but not really for XC or for other use like general bike riding
