Restoring this Giant Propel from Deadly to fully Serviced 21 Minutes! Full transformation Rebuild!

[@Bikespeeds]

We don’t tolerate any negativity to our customers! Please keep it positive for the greater good of everyone 🧡

[@jcsrst]

People who watch this channel obviously don't have the destroy sh*t gene. I watch because I like to see things restored and treated properly. I personally find it abhorrent to not take care of something l worked hard to buy. You've laid out a rich buffet of comment potential and then tell us not to say anything! I am so conflicted😂

[@brianpurcell9058]

Totally agree guys ! There's enough negatively in the world without bringing it to this channel. Keep doing what you're doing 👍

[@531c]

Good shout. Negative comments just so unnecessary

[@brianpurcell9058]

@@531c big style 👍

[@KarlosEPM]

The only real measure of superiority is kindness 🚲🤗

[@rhysmaybrey7739]

Great job. I think the state of this bike highlights how important it is to get your bike regularly serviced especially on a bike this expensive

[@Bikespeeds]

Preventing problems can save lots of money🧡

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

I ride this model of Propel and can say, even with good dry climate, and regular maintenance, guiding the cables through the frame is a pain in the butt. Good on you for treating the Propel properly, it's a solid and fast frame but needs a lot of love and patience.

[@Bikespeeds]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes internal cables are not always the answer!🧡⚙️

[@carlpentney290]

In all honesty it's great to see such a well used bike. Epic rebuild and Lee even had time for a haircut! Well done Simon in the editing, it looks absolutely seemless and we would have known otherwise.

[@ObsidianJunkie]

Thats what I was thinking - maybe the owner did neglect it but damn, it looks like they rode the hell out of that thing and at the end of the day, thats what they're for - they're tools.

[@Bikespeeds]

This rider rode it everyday in winter rain or shine! Thank you both🧡

[@gabrieltemmy4074]

I notice how clean all Your tools & how You arrange the syringes of lubes and oil like a laboratory, the time and effort You put for Your workshop is SUPERB!!!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you! We really appreciate it!🧡

[@montyedwards3847]

I always enjoy the little tricks of the trade you do in these videos. There’s always something to learn. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you very much!🧡

[@williammcgreal4366]

This is one of my favorite and I haven’t missed one since I subscribed. This was complicated but laid out so perfectly that I learned a lot. Thank you!!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for the long term support and glad you can still enjoy the videos!🧡⚙️

[@caseypleasant1922]

One of your best jobs yet.... you made that bike better than new....I can only imagine how the customer reacted and how that first ride will feel for them

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much for the kind words 🧡

[@andrew30m]

That was really helpful for someone new to the sport to understand areas that need consideration for general maintenance.

[@bikingchupei2447]

17:06 no exaggeration at all, pretty much watched every single video on this channel, this was the most satisfying.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching week in and out it goes a long way!🧡⚙️

[@davidcarford5425]

Best yet. Can only imagine the customers reaction riding it for the first time after the service.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks David! We really appreciate it!🧡

[@hafiz2664]

This was the best video because of the state of the bike, and as you said, it's almost a restoration rather than a service. Great watch. Love to see well-used bikes given new life.

[@Bikespeeds]

One of our favourite videos yet! Thanks for the love 🧡⚙️

[@djc226]

Great video, very satisfying to watch this one! I bet the customer was very happy !

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for all your support!🧡

[@Iccemann8]

props to the rider... honestly pushing the bike to the limits and i love it.

[@Iccemann8]

ofcourse after watching the whole video props to you and simon as well for the art!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for your support!🧡

[@richiejames928]

The before and after rides on this would have been like night and day, it was proper knackered! going from those warn out pedals to new ones would of felt like riding a new bike alone. You guys do great work!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much Richie!🧡⚙️

[@wizkidcyclist9968]

Awesome video. Big thanks to Simon for getting this together. Sad to see such a nice bike in such a bad state! Thank you for rescuing it!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much from both of us!🧡

[@grahambell9831]

A superb turnaround for this bike 👏. Chapeau to all of the team at Bikespeeds. Your patience and perseverance have been rewarded. One greatful owner, I'm sure 👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Too kind, thanks again Graham!🧡⚙️

[@grahambell9831]

@Bikespeeds Very enjoyable bike transformations at Bikespeeds, looking forward to many more on your channel. Have a great weekend ! 👍

[@johnstrac]

That's your best one yet ! Don't know how you manged to get that back from the dead.

[@Bikespeeds]

A lot of cabling is the answer lol🧡

[@justino359]

Crikey, what a basket case, but also what a transformation! If you're not mechanically inclined it's easy to let these issues build up. I'd love to be able to sort all the problems on such a quality piece of kit, so no negativity from me. ♥️ Top draw workmanship as always 👏💪

[@liamthephysio]

Well said

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much for the kind words 🧡

[@terrynye7034]

Well done Lee and Simon. But this is really import to prove that even bikes with lots of work can be saved and live on. ❤

[@marcdebroin6700]

What a job, gentlemen (as always). I would have loved to see the owner face when he rode the bike after your master’s job.

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind thank you again for taking the time to comment!🧡

[@todddudgeon2320]

You said it best, Lee…this is an epic rebuild. Everything was replaced on this bike, and it needed to be. Excellent work, and a special thanks to Simon for his edit as well. Thanks for taking the time to make these bikes roadworthy and safe. This service was worth the wait!! 😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks again and again🧡

[@ewanlivlingstone1759]

wow what difference to this bike. it is like a new bike and will ride better than the day it came out of the factory. great work guys and great to see this project finished after such a large amount of time filming.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for all the great compliments again 🧡

[@BarryJones-wt3et]

Great video and a brilliant service! Was very satisfying to see you bring the bike back from the brink of death ☠️

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡⚙️

[@3brewster]

Great video again! Enjoyed this one, top work Lee and Simon!

[@Bikespeeds]

🧡⚙️

[@brianpurcell9058]

Quality service as always guys 👌

[@Frank-bb9lu]

What a systematic thorough job that was. Nice to see a bike that has been seriously used to the points of being almost inoperable but then in your hands it ends up better than new. Shout out to Simon for the editing, your videos are well produced, instructive and enjoyable.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for all the great support Frank!🧡⚙️

[@jsselman]

Thank you Simon! I'd love to hear some customer feedback on his now near-new bike.

[@Bikespeeds]

🧡⚙️

[@DeanPattrick]

Superb service, that Propel needed some TLC. Simon smashed it on this video 😎🇫🇮

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you Dean!🧡💪🏼⚙️

[@KarlosEPM]

You said it all at minute 10:00 - it's a full restoration. And a great one! Most people give up on bikes if they reach this state, but you prove that they are perfectly capable of running again in a wonderful state. I'm glad I saved this video for my sunday noon belgian beer time. Wishing you the best and wishing the customer much joy on a gem of a bike. Cheers! 🚲

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Karlos we appreciate all the kind support! 🧡🍻

[@wsbygt]

That bike was riden! So satisfying to see it even better and back on the road like an 2024 model! Great job, thank you!

[@petermcinnes6987]

Well said.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for the very kind support 🧡

[@aitorbleda8267]

And in the uk a winter season near the sea can do a number on a bike.. this isn't years of not taking care, probably a single season of just doing basic maintenance and enjoying the bike

[@sicbay]

This is incredible!! A total classic!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡⚙️

[@hennings3938]

Great job, as always. It's very satisfying to get a worn and torn bike shiny and functioning again.

[@Bikespeeds]

Glad you enjoyed it!🧡⚙️

[@calada1212]

Im just a fan of ur "grease,light oil,heavy oil, anti seize,locktite" usage.u truely understand where and why to apply those stuff..some mechanics nowadays just take it for granted, just make the bike look bling, but put wrong stuff on wrong area with unnecessary amount which can cause even more damage to the frame (which unreplaceable) in long terms..chapeau sir for ur brilliant job and the narration..ur vids not just entertaining, but more important-educative.thanks from japan❤

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind thank you!🧡

[@samharris3508]

I always enjoy your videos with a cup of coffee! That bike definitely was ran into the ground. But you guys worked your magic on it, and brought it back to life! Better than new even.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you Sam! We should be back soon so enjoy your coffee!🧡☕️

[@Traildude193]

This service has been my favorite in the last month. You went above and beyond.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much Jake a lot of work went into it so we really appreciate the support 🧡

[@Maik1968]

Hello guys, you did a great job again, best entertainment for me as always. As you said: no negativity in the comments, that condition, sometimes more to do, sometimes less, is question of respect to everybody’s self control. Greetings from Germany and I will be here again next week 👍🍀🌞

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Maik we should be back soon again! We really appreciate your support each week!🧡

[@johnmorrissey41]

Seriously impressive work. What a difference.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you John!🧡

[@therealcrab]

fantastic video, really enjoyed that. It is somewhat therapeutic watching the transformation. I sometimes wish you would take slightly longer over the videos and this one was that bit longer - and all the better for it in my eyes. Great work!

[@Bikespeeds]

We’re still learning! It’s very hard sometimes to not run out of things to say on longer videos so we’re still figuring it out!🧡

[@samcartlidge8667]

Great job team. Mindblowing how corroded everything was

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you Sam!🧡⚙️

[@waynefoster5274]

Great work Lee & Simon, as always. I have a Giant Propel, so I understood every knook & cranny :)

[@Bikespeeds]

Hopefully you enjoyed this one then! Thanks again for always supporting 🧡⚙️

[@antisha82]

Brand new bike after service, great job👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you!🧡

[@kevinborovsky3558]

Wow guys you out did yourselves on this one. Another well used bike is new again. Keep the videos coming they are much appreciated. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@Bikespeeds]

New one hopefully tomorrow! Thanks for the support again🧡

[@Doctor-yr3uy]

Hi.this one was very complicated and I think one of your most expensive repairs,thanks

[@andrewshore9709]

Great work there, probably better than it came out of the factory originally 👌👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Andrew!🧡

[@PhilDiasPJD]

Wow. What a transformation. If I have not watched and enjoyed the video I would have said you just replaced the whole bike for a new one. Amazing job and so relaxing to watch, a pleasure to watch you work your magic with such detail and care. ❤

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind support!🧡

[@chinov2933]

I'm happy this bike found you! remarkable transformation like night and day

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡⚙️

[@jyfortin]

Great job, very professional, it's always hard to deal with rusty parts on a bike. I wonder whether the bottom bracket is ok, and even the inside of the seat post. I always pay attention that the seat post don't get stuck with time. Looks like a new bike at the end!

[@Bikespeeds]

The bottom bracket had been changed and the seat post is maybe a story for another day but for now wasn’t a problem! Thanks for watching🧡⚙️

[@richbutler5815]

I don't usually comment, but this was a fantastic job by yourselves, very satisfying to watch the turnaround..😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Rich, we appreciate you taking the time!🧡⚙️

[@andrewgilhespie2803]

Amazing video, has to be the best one yet, what a transformation and interesting stuff with the Shimano recall.

[@Bikespeeds]

Glad you enjoyed this one, we were glad to get a shimano recall on camera!🧡

[@jamesb1717]

Internal cabling! Rather you than me. Great vid guys, what a transformation.

[@Bikespeeds]

There were a few hairy moments with the cables!🧡

[@elmo575]

Top quality work by Simon keeping up with this rebuild for our viewing pleasure. Good job as always on the getting the bike done right for the customer. Great stuff lads!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks from the both of us! See you again soon🧡⚙️

Awesome job guys on the bike and the video! Drew.

Great job guys. Always look forward to these videos 😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡⚙️

[@tekeeladude]

I will admit I was a little taken aback you didn’t torque the pedals at first. Such a relief to see you properly torque them at the end 😁. Great job guys!

[@Bikespeeds]

Haha we haunt ourselves with forgetting things 😂🧡

[@davidlutan7727]

Loved the video Guys, absolutely outstanding service (re-build). The customer must be wrapped, better than new.

[@Bikespeeds]

[@Tomridesandruns]

Great video of a sterling job. Well done guys!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡⚙️

[@kenblair2538]

Wow !, what a job. I find it hard to beleive, how someone with a nice bike, can let it go to disarray . Get that owner on a maintenance schedule with you folks . Thanks. KB

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Ken!🧡⚙️

[@dominicward3523]

Great job. Shows the importance of regular servicing to extend life of bike and parts.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching!🧡⚙️

[@tinniswood2577]

Absolute top work both behind and in front of the camera, very satisfying to watch. Should feel better than when it was brand new!

Great work guys, love watching the videos 👍🏻

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching!🧡⚙️

[@TheGreyGK]

Wow epic video and phenomenal job editing and bringing it all together Simon. Lee, your attention to detail and care for each and everyone of the bikes that's go through I amazing a sets the scene for other bike shops and hope they are taking note. This must have been sooooo satisfying for both you and the owner. Excellent job 🎉

[@Bikespeeds]

Very very kind thank you!🧡⚙️

[@bevosully]

I have almost this exact bike. Getting this insight into what kind of work goes into servicing this bike really makes one appreicate the craftsmanship that goes into this. Awesome!

[@Bikespeeds]

Hopefully you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching🧡

[@senorspiegel]

Well done! This just makes me glad I'm not a shop mechanic anymore! I cannot stand working on internally routed bikes! On an externally routed road bike this would have taken 1/4 the time!

[@Bikespeeds]

It’s incredibly stressful🧡

[@Hafiz_Vanyar]

solid work! awesome stuff ❤ love to watch this kind of services 😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you!🧡⚙️

[@JasonShinks]

Another belter from you guys! Really enjoyed the watch. Some of Simon's camera work now is on a different level to last year, when I first started watching your vids, and I though it was good then! Well done fellas.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Jason we’ve worked hard on improving the “dance” of making things look right for the camera and holding tools the wrong way round to normal!🧡

[@munro12345]

Great video and super editing Simon - thanks guys!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you from both of us!🧡⚙️💪🏼

Oh my god. The tire as a counterpart to torquing pedals. Thanks- brilliant tip!

Your videos are great....grande maestro 👍👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind thank you🧡

[@konradc12]

This is a well used bike, like my Giant Contend SL1 Disc 2021. The attention to detail and care shown in this video, is of the usual Bikespeeds high standard. As I said before, great video.

[@Bikespeeds]

Very very kind thank you! Enjoy your contend!🧡

[@jrother]

Epic, yes. Probably not all internal cable bikes are like this, but makes me so glad I have no internal cables on my bikes...

[@yonglingng5640]

Most frames with regular internal routing don't run this way. They usually enter around the head tube area (but not through the headset assembly) and down tube for shift lines.

[@Bikespeeds]

We still preference external cables for ease of use!🧡

[@duncanking4474]

I love your videos on these maintenance, I would be comfortable getting my bike serviced by yourselves!

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind thank you!🧡

[@terryjones7778]

Well done Simon!

[@adambell2964]

That was monumental. You are both masters of your craft. Well done Lee and Simon, passing the 30k mark is so deserved 👏

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much!🧡🎉

[@justanotherbrewer2115]

Super video, I know the pain of galvanised cables rusting. The problem with concealed cables is it makes simple maintenance so tricky compared to open cables. Amazing lubrication details learnt a lot

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for all the support!🧡⚙️

[@db79887]

Nicely done hope the person really appreciated your work

[@kevinmaina]

Amazing video, great watch.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you!🧡

[@paulbhoy1888]

Best video yet Lee and Simon... brilliant to watch the bike come to life again. Its like brand new. Definitely the best one you have done. Look forward to Wednesday's for the videos. Wish I stayed closer so I could use you to service bike regularly....keep up the good work boys

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind! Hopefully a new video tonight! We appreciate all the support Paul!🧡⚙️

[@savagepro9060]

What a Gigantic Problem, this Giant Propel! Ah, but Bikespeeds killed Goliath!

[@Bikespeeds]

🧡⚙️

[@claudiofiero8523]

Wow, that bike must have seen many roads! My 10 years old crappy MTB never failed so hard as this one, not because i put any care in it, but because I didn't really ride it that much It's sort of a joy to see some parts wearing out for use and abuse

[@Bikespeeds]

We agree! Better ridden than not it’s a badge of honour 🧡

[@Bikespeeds]

Glad you’re enjoying the content!🧡

[@justme.9711]

I have hydrolic disc and I truly believe they are Fashion over Function. I have never had a bike that didn't have much more brake ability than I needed and that includes the kids bikes I had in the early 70's. Rim brakes are like a tension wrench and disc are a stubby one. I live in Australia, no snow, but the brakes on this thing would be SO POWERFUL and gotta be lighter and less problems etc.

[@iskiiwizz536]

i didn't understand I thing you said

Great job boys

Thanks very much Jack!🧡⚙️
