Thanks very much!🧡

Switching from watching car detailing videos to bike content like this!!

[@PhilDiasPJD]

Watching your videos is like watching your favourite box set for the 50th time. You know the outcome, what to expect, the level of attention to detail etc. However, by the end of the video you are still thinking that what just PURE CLASS!! And then look forward to watching the next time. Well done guys. Such a wonderful job!! 👍

[@todddudgeon2320]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Pure Class.

I have an older S3 which was a problem bike from the outset! BB issues, handlebar issues( they snapped after about 6 months!) and a host of smaller problems.

By putting that rear derailleur just like that into the ultrasonic cleaner filled with degreaser you neatly removed all the crucial lubrication from both the upper and the lower knuckles. Both springs inside will rust and the pins will wear our.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Agree: US cleaning isn’t always necessary or best.

That chainstay protector. 😆😆 I'm guessing the drivetrain engineers aren't talking to the frame design engineers.

[@finn_english]

Fantastic work as usual! Just some quick feedback, did you change the audio settings when recording or in post production? There are moments when Lee speaks more quietly and the noise removal starts to cut into his voice. Not a huge deal but it bugged me a bit and I never heard anything like this in previous videos. Maybe lower the amount of noise suppression? Thanks as always for the top quality servicing and videos =]

As part of a service do you normally take out the seatpost to check it’s not seized and give it a clean and regrease?

We regularly adjust the saddle heights on the bikes to get them in the stand, so yes we do check it but usually it’s all solved before the camera is on🧡

Hi Chris thanks for the really kind support, best thing to do is measure the exact bearings that come out of your bike, they can be different to ours in a lot of ways 🧡

Disk brakes, internal cable, pressfit bb makes me glad I don't wrench anymore

[@LukeRichardson1981]

I do my own work. Partial internal routing (not at the headset) and disc brakes don't bother me, but I'd certainly not want a fully internally routed bike like this one, or a press fit BB. GIve me standard headsets and BSA threaded bottom brackets any day of the week.

Hi, do you maybe have torqe table for general use ?

[@razorree]

how people were commenting, there are reasons to worry, as they can fail easily just any time after the inspection. In fact Shimano says to customers to do those inspections at home, before every ride? "Instruct the customer to continue using the crank and do similar pre-ride evaluations"

[@JFomo]

Waiting for the day you bring out a small cordless polisher like the car detailers use 😅

Lol I’d be scared the first time but it is tempting🧡

[@JFomo]

@@Bikespeeds Yeah there's probably not much clear coat on a bike 😅

[@bartoszsawrymowicz4074]

Great vid (as always), i have a question though, how do you deal with saddle possition being set to far back on the rails? It is of course a possition issue but is riding like that safe (from the mechanic point of view)? Cheers

[@Bikespeeds]

I don’t touch it, that’s the riders choice/ decision and I don’t like to alter them, but I will let them know it’s past the travel 🧡

[@Jizo78]

And the new chain works properly with the broken in cassette, especially on small chain ring ? No skipping at high load ?

[@Bikespeeds]

Was all okay!🧡

[@pinkyfull]

Its actually disgraceful from Shimano that they didn't just recall all of the cranksets even though they have a known manufacturing defect. You can't possibly know what is happening inside the bonded case (where the corrosion first starts) without having some reasonably significant ultrasound or x-ray imaging.

[@phil_d]

Wide is definitely the way forward. Aero is one consideration, but just measuring the tyre in an aerodrome environment is not 'real world'. I run 42c Conti tyres on shallow rims and the width is worth more than aero (to me) may give me on seldom very smooth tarmac.

[@anthonyhebert-trudeau6995]

Integrated cockpit bike... and you did not service the headset while it was stripped of its components? I think you missed a golden opportunity there. Especially with these suspiciously rusted stem bolts.

[@pauldyerdyer2731]

What would be a good size ultrasonic cleaner for the home mechanic?

[@Bikespeeds]

We made do with a 3L tank for the first 3-4-5 years of our pro work so that will do!🧡

[@lifeof_maks9861]

Where do you usually look up the recommended torque for alle the different manufacturers?

[@Bikespeeds]

I’ve spent enough time now to know them but earlier I used google and forums 🧡

[@folkerst]

Could you please explain how a chainguard rubbing against the smaller chainring can cause a bottom bracket to fail. Wouldn't the rubber just dissapear by the abrazion over time. But it is defenitly not a design error. The guard is not a structural part of the bike frame.

[@ericpmoss]

If the chain is that worn, do you also have some tool that checks the chainrings and cassette for wear? My limited experience is that putting a new chain on worn gears ends up wearing the new chain quickly. Or is the assumption that it's cheaper overall to sacrifice the new chain to get the rest of the life out of the cassette and chainrings? Back when cassettes were $40 instead of $400, I guess the trade-off was different (?).

[@Bikespeeds]

It’s case dependant but I eye ball it and usually say to the customer to try it and see if it skips, if it does bring it straight back and we’ll fit the cassette🧡

Good job, I don't get the point of such a clunky rubber chainstay protector on a road bike, it's appropriate for MTBs and maybe Gravel/Cyclocross where it's also better than clear film due to more padding, but on road bikes? They aren't so prone to chain slaps, I only had sometimes dropped it when shifting to the smaller front chainring.

[@marcdaniels9079]

My 2016 R5 with Rotor chainset had a tendency to drop the chain off the small ring (I did put a chain at her on) and then get sucked between the chain rings and damage the frame by the chainset as well as particularly the LOWER chain stay… nothing to do with chain slap. My 2018 R5 has a significant rubber chain stay protector although the chain set is Dura Ace. The inner chainring absolutely does not rub on it ….. It’s hard to believe that Cervelo designed it like this … no way Pro Teams are riding with chainrings rubbing on a chainstay protector! I imagine it’s more likely that the rubber somehow shifts in use

[@Si-kg7fb]

Big fan of the channel but do yourself a favour and send the crank back and let Shimano fix their own mess. If that crank fails and causes an accident - you are liable from a moral point of view and potentially legally because you inspected it and said it was ok.
