Carrera Drivetrain Rescue! | Derailleur Hanger Replacement!

[@csttd1126]

This channel is not about dream build and superbikes,is an amazing channel for all types of cyclists and people who really love bikes. I am one of them and I watch every single video you put because you do an amazing job. Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@jakkatoe]

me too

[@Bikespeeds]

That’s a really nice comment & exactly where we are trying to go with it. There’s plenty of channels with “how to” and plenty of review & build ones too we felt we are infotainment & we both love doing them. I love tinkering with bikes and Simon loves marketing and media so although he draws the short straw for spending the most time it seems to be working! 🧡

[@neilk22]

The customer is lucky to have you, some bike shops wouldn’t go through all the trouble to cleanup so nicely.

[@rhysmaybrey7739]

It’s great to see you work on a full range of bikes. From cheap to expensive, road and mountain

[@skinnyjimmy6649]

This channel has come a long way within a short period. I love that you tried to restore as much as possible of the existing drivetrain instead of just smack a new 1x drivetrain on there to make it look fancy.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

Incredible transformation. You're a legend😁👍

[@kevgreathead1886]

Loving the venegance rebuild, I'll look through your videos for a rear derailure setup, mine keeps skipping. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much Kev🧡⚙️

[@danjhiggi]

This channel has inspired me to see value in some old family bikes in bad disrepair. I was going to give them away. So far, since the summer, I have rebuilt 3 bikes. This Christmas I took my rebuilt 2003 Gary Fisher Sugar 2+ Race for a spin. It runs like it was brand new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. One question I have: If I decide to replace an old bearing race with ball bearings. How do I know what size ball bearing to use? - Best Regards, Dan from Colorado.

[@DiljitHayre]

[@marcoperez7553]

I enjoy your videos. Nice that you take pride in your work.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Marco!

[@liamsingh05]

Nice work on the carrera boss

[@manonfire2879]

Good job. How much would that have cost to do on that bike ?

[@lonerbikes]

clean and working corretly , but still rusty :D

[@RubbishGimpy]

Nice.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you!🧡

[@joannelouiserodriguez5966]

Fab job well done yea I bought carrera tdf LTD recently cheap but has a worn drive train so have to rebuild it but yea reminds me when watching yea

[@Bikespeeds]

Enjoy the rebuild✌🏼

[@carlpentney290]

Great job, That bike is probably better now than when it left the factory! As a matter of interest how to do dispose of your degreaser? I tend to re-use mine until it practically disappears.

[@Bikespeeds]

As with everything commercial, we have to pay someone lol😂🧡

I just purchased a 2nd hand Carrera vengeance today. It had been sitting unused for about 2 years, I'll be honest, it was pretty rough looking but still quite decent, the frame is good, as is the tyres and brakes but the whole drive train looked like somone had sprayed grease over everything, it was a right mess, all the dirt had stuck to everything. First quick ride and yup the rear derailleur got hung up on the back wheel, oh what a mess, ive ordered a new genuine derailleur and copy rear hanger, i couldnt find an original, anyway ive cleaned everything up and its a lot better looking now than what it was, ive degreased and oiled everything, now just waiting on the bits...😊...if you were local i would have given you the bike and you could have performed a service. I took a cog out of the derailleur to get the chain off, kinda guessing it's a pain to refit the new derailleur by removing a cog, i think the gearing needs adjusting, thats what caused the issue...im going to have to look into that and see how to set it up, ah well, wishing everybody the best, i like your video's, really 1st class work 😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Sounds like you’ve done a great job!🧡

[@Ubaid-od7dt]

I payed £60 for one tyers needed air and it sat and was left unused still drives fine but jumps gears I don't know why it's got no rust on the chain,gears it's a 27.5

[@stickmenkissarmy6907]

👍

[@amadan34]

Nice work. How much would you charge for this service including the derailer?

[@malithgamage7863]

Just a quick question...can you please tell me waht size is the bottom bracket removal kit ? Socket and the crank pusher! Thank you 🙏🙏

[@malithgamage7863]

Sorry forgot to mentioned....ive got a Carrea Kraken bike

[@dagobaker]

i have 2 bikes with that shimano altus derailleur ....... both 7 speed freewheel... what would b an upgrade for that? aka a better derailleur to replace it.. must b 7 speed and can handle a 13 34 freewheel

[@scotthaig1553]

What chain replacement would you recommend for the carrera vengeance? Thanks

[@aceighmedia]

I got this type of bike two weeks ago

[@Adam-gi1yl]

Great work 👍 👌 Nice video 🎥 📹 Where is your shop?

[@Bikespeeds]

Lowestoft Suffolk!🧡⚙️

[@scottb2972]

What do you use to lube derailleurs? I tend to lube my chain with dry lube and neglect the others. Di2.

[@Bikespeeds]

We actually did a video on this exact topic! Check it out here🧡 The Ultimate Grease, Oil And Lubricant Bike Guide! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKaxdXtpi7GIsLs

[@shaunwatson6665]

My father-in-law has just gave me his crossfire 2. It has the same problem with the rear derailleur. Halfords fixed it twice previously and it has happened again. Iv stripped it down and noticed Halfords have made a bodge job and filed down a hanger to make it fit. Is there a place I can get a hanger that’s the same as the original?

[@SALMANDER33]

I have a 2002 carrera kraken, would you mind giving me the specs on bottom bracket crank set and rear cog cassette ? I can't find any information on it at all.

[@auringerr1]

Nice Job!! Merry Christmas

[@Bikespeeds]

Merry Christmas Raymond! Thanks for watching🧡

[@Dareos3]

could you give me a link for the derailleur hanger mine bent the other way and already cost me two derailleurs haha

[@wackedoutdude]

Carrera's are great bikes. Sadly they are usually ridden buy kids and cheapskates lol. Then they are punished and run into the ground. Great channel buddy.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching and commenting!🧡🚲

[@mclarenhurns5368]

Where you located mate? Or how do I book my bike in for servicing

[@Bikespeeds]

All the details are on our website www.bikespeeds.com 🧡👍🏻⚙️

[@MrLikerBiker]

How do you dispose of the contents of the ultrasonic cleaner? Not only will it contain dirt but also old grease and oil, so you just can't throw it down the drain.

[@Bikespeeds]

As with everything commercial, we have to pay someone lol😂🧡

[@Mottips]

How much was the repair?

[@michaelmangelschots6079]

Ik ben fietsenmaker maar ik zou u graag willen vragen om advies hoe weet je welke Voorderailleur goed is voor een bepaalde fiets zonder dat je de oude hebt ik dacht door de juiste speed van u Groepsets graag advies mvg Michaël België

[@31.8mm]

What's the name of something vibrates with kind of stones to remove rusty tool and component?

[@madturbo5199]

How much would this be to have done

[@marnielouise3810]

How much would that usually cost me my son had the same exact bike I'm just wondering a price range, his derailleur has bent into his wheel and the gears or breaks don't work either

[@Bikespeeds]

You’ll need to speak to your local bike shop for that one! If your near the east coast in the U.K. then drop the bike in and we’ll be happy to quote.

[@clj.4874]

Can you tell me what derailleur i need for a carrera vengeance bike if possible thanks ( as in where from and what kind )

[@Bikespeeds]

The derailleur that’s on it will have a part number on it.

[@clj.4874]

@@Bikespeeds ok thanks

[@gijsvanhirtum3447]

I have a question; here you could see that the chain was worn, but doesn't that imply that you also must change out the cassette, if you go for a new chain?

[@Bikespeeds]

Only if the new chain skips on the cassette or indeed the front chain set or even both!

[@huntingwithjacob4475]

Does anybody now how to take my chain of my carrera bike because on a carrera bike on the chain it doesn’t have a master link and I don’t have a chain breaker tool

[@lesliekirk7036]

Can you send me a link to the degreaser you use

[@Bikespeeds]

[@londonjavid4499]

The sad reality of carrera bikes like other makes, is that they are made with sub standard & cheap materials especially the rear derailleurs. These are so flimsy they deform easily under stress. This problem of the rear derailleur & hangers deforming is so common. It is a deliberate design fault that is not being dealt with. Its not only the youth bikes, which get the most abuse but also everyone else who buys these Carreras. Inevitably when they break they come back to Halfords for repair (more money) or independent bike shops. Component on mtbs from the late 80s & throughout the 90s were far tougher & able to withstand abuse.

[@louiscampos839]

Can u let us know how your customer commented when he got the bike back

[@Bikespeeds]

He was pleased with it, but no memorable comment!🧡

[@pauljohnson7733]

Carrera bikes aren't the best bikes Halford specials, I had one ,wore it out in 6 weeks there OK for pottering about on .

[@theprogrammerrolandmc3039]

lets set up a petition to stop e bikes using canal walkways i had someone shout at me coming thru at 5 am going to work and had to move over only to have my Derailleur and Hanger destroyed by branches from bushes leaving me stranded. E bikes should only be on roads that's why their is cycle lanes
