Tbh I had myself a bike in a similar state some time ago, before I started to rebuilt it myself, because it was always flat when I wanted to ride it and in the end it was only the cheap Dunlop valves which leaked, so I fully understand, that sometimes you can loose the enjoyment of your bike and a service like this can make a world of a difference!

A rebuild is so much more satisfying than throwing away & buying new, the initial pain will produce a massive amount of knowledge and experience and will no doubt save a lot of money in the long run. Plus basic maintenance will be a breeze, especially if you have a family will multiple bikes that will all need servicing at some point!

Then the labour for spoke/wheels, brake bleeds, detail and fitting the parts. I'd guess about £220 - £250 all in for a bike that cost £5/600?

Over here in Seattle, you have a soulmate. Damn fine website, Sir. I like to call it laying on hands. So satisfying to resurrect an old bike. I loved to make it better than new, usually by shorter cables and housing, and tweaking the hell out of the brake caliper free play and seriously fixated attention to brake pad alignment. Even when i was building new ones outta the box. Great brakes have saved me many times on my Sekai and Eddy Merckx.

Question: I see a lot of relatively cheap bikes on your channel (where there have been some obvious compromises to spec). E.g. a MTB in this price bracket doesn't get the 1x treatment. I've noted that your customers almost never take the opportunity of replacing worn parts and spending a touch more $ for an upgrade. In this instance, I'd argue a Deore 1x10 with an 11-46 (or even Deore 11) would have cost barely any more (the cassettes would have been maybe 20 quid difference, 9sp and 10sp chains more about the same price, the Deore derailleur minus the cost of the labor to service the FD and RD (+ cost of replacement jockey wheels) maybe be another 10 quid vs the replacement Shimano square taper crank and BB's would have again been more or less the same price. The customer then gets a much better drivetrain (functionally for a MTB), with an actual increase in resale value and a decent chunk of weight dropped. Do you ever persuade customers to go this route?

What program or app did you use for getting proper tension on the wheel? Looked like it could be very helpful.

What grit sand paper do you use to clean the disc brake pads and the disc?

Used band paper. You could use 1000 or 2000 grit.

What kind of "super slip shifting cables" do you use? Is this a Shimano or something else? Love to watch your channel. You're doing great work. Cheers from Poland.

Also, silicon grease vs. Spray on forks - I guess both would be optimal snd the grease has the advantage of lasting longer?

There’s no advantage to either really, both will definitely work!🧡⚙️

Another superb service.! I do have one question: on the cable for the rear derailleur you didn’t use your standard cable length as a guide to cut it, or did I miss something 😎🇫🇮
@Bikespeeds
@Bikespeeds 2 жыл бұрын
We actually more often than not don’t use our cable guide. Most derailleurs are so close to the wheel the cables need cutting short to clear it. So we use the cable guide when we can but often cables need to be cut quite short🧡⚙️
