Giant TCR Restoration! Full Service & Rebuild!

[@jaspervandenbergen1519]

My 6 year old daughter caught me watching one of these videos again. I showed here the before and after images, and she asked; "Is this a bike doctor or something?". I think that's a great title for you lads, the bike doctors! Absolutely stunning results as always. Keep showing these bikes the love.

[@Bikespeeds]

Lol that’s a great story! Thanks to you and your daughter for watching!🧡

[@johnmorrissey41]

Stunning job. It amazes me though that people send bikes to a workshop so dirty. No way would I send my bike in so filthy.

[@Bikespeeds]

We clean all bikes so it really makes no difference to us. We love a dirty bike because we can film a good video! Thanks for watching🧡⚙️

[@brianmcg321]

Are you one of those people that cleans your house before the maid comes?

[@thedude3986]

​@@brianmcg321 Sounds like they have some respect for those that keep their bike on the road...

[@musabkartal]

@@brianmcg321 I think the reason people do that is because they have certain standard of how clean a person should be, and if you are not that clean then it is something to be shameful about, which makes sense. They just want maid to clean the dirt, that is just created by being a decent human being, rather than a messy one.

[@Alimukz]

​@@thedude3986they're going to clean the bike anyway, is it disrespectful to pay someone to clean your bike? Do you clean your car before taking it to a car wash?

[@danielpeters2708]

Hey guys, love your videos. I noticed when giving the bolts a final check over, you only tightened tightened the rearward saddle bolt, causing the nose of the saddle to ride upward. I'm really sensitive to saddle tilt, so the owner may have noticed increased pressure from the nose of the saddle. These TCRs have a knurled front saddle bolt, which needs to be tightened in conjunction with the rear to maintain the original level. Giant corrected this, using a hex headed bolt on the 21/22 models thankfully.

[@SayMcGillicuddy]

Wednesday 7pm - cup of tea, biscuit, and a new bikespeeds upload. An oasis of calm in an ever more mad world. Thanks gents 👊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Allan. We’re glad you still enjoy all the uploads. See you again this Wednesday!🧡⚙️

[@LTFC77]

Every video is pretty much the same,,, but I can’t stop watching them!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks! We try our best to keep them interesting each week🧡

[@davidwildstallionjohnson4458]

Did it proud, those older steel mtbs are very capable bikes and worth the attention.

[@Sansuiification]

OT -900 housing for rear mech. That rear wheel rim looks like it´s worn through the top layer of carbon on the brake surface.

[@aligra85]

I love watching these videos when I'm on the turbo trainer.

[@Bikespeeds]

Awesome! Enjoy your sessions 🧡⚙️

[@martinspencer5148]

What a fantastic difference you made to that sad looking bike 😮😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Martin!🧡

[@caseypleasant1922]

Looks brand new

You are a master at your craft, sir! Nice datejust btw! Very fitting for a gentleman :)

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you thank you!🧡⚙️

[@johnstrac]

Grand job on that one, rust can never be good.

[@Bikespeeds]

We were surprised with how well it came off. We were expecting a lot of it to come off but not all of it!🧡

[@531c]

Great job, all methodically carried out so nothing gets missed. Money alone cant buy the level of attention to detail shown here. Above and beyond as usual.

[@Bikespeeds]

Very kind! Thanks very much for watching and dropping us a nice comment it means a lot 🧡⚙️

[@romeo.ardael]

woah, the end results are astounding! Goes to show a new bike isnt always the answer ;D just need a good detail!

[@Bikespeeds]

Absolutely! It’s amazing how well bikes can come up with some love 🧡

[@paulseaman8558]

Hooray Wednesday night therapy it’s been one of those days in fact one of those couple of weeks ! Needed this 😊

[@Bikespeeds]

Haha it’s been a couple weeks like that for us making them! We’ve had hold up after hold up so it’s good to be getting the videos back out. Glad you could enjoy this one 🧡⚙️

[@Ivory_Mist]

Welcome back lads. Glad you are feeling better!

[@Bikespeeds]

It’s been a nightmare for filming but hopefully we’re back for weekly videos again now🧡

[@dagobaker]

going to feel like hes riding a brand new bike great work as always

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching!🧡⚙️

[@jrother]

Totally agree, Lee. It's amazing how much components that look irrecoverable come out shining after a wash.

[@Bikespeeds]

Fix it till it’s broken 🧡💪🏼⚙️

[@rommelreyes2209]

The bike looks new!

[@Jinedan]

Lovely! That ceramic coat really made it pop.

[@Bikespeeds]

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t but in this case it was a real nice final layer 🧡⚙️

[@ellipticalsoul]

What a difference! I would have thought that cassette was ruinied but it looks brand new after you finished.

[@Bikespeeds]

It’s amazing what degreaser can do. We were also very pleased with how it came up and didn’t expect it either!🧡⚙️

[@rodbrown8306]

Thanks Rod🧡

Well done on the recent subs. I'm one of them, enjoying all these rebuild vids.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you! We appreciate you joining us🧡

[@MxCrab]

After I've finished this I'm gonna rewind and watch again, just so it makes up for you watching it twice in the viewer numbers! :D (I have found myself going back to older videos from time to time for a nice bit of relaxing mechanics)

[@Bikespeeds]

Really means a lot to us how much you enjoy the videos. Thanks very much for sharing your support and enjoying them🧡

Superb service. I like the way you start the chain lube at the chain split link, so you know you have done it all 🙌😎🇫🇮

[@Bikespeeds]

Best way! Thanks Dean enjoy your riding this week🧡🇫🇮

[@Travis21K]

How about a side by side comparison when the bikes are done?? Love the channel

[@oreocarlton3343]

that frame shine after polishing is outrageous!

Watching the pitch of the saddle change as he torques one of the bolts🫣

[@TheGreyGK]

That came up beautifully. Fantastic job and have to admit I'm a massive fan of the TCR. Beautiful bike 🎉

[@KarlosEPM]

An icon of modern cycling, _total compact racing_ signified a shift in frame design that ripples to this day.

@@Bikespeeds not surprised. That biked popped and it's only when you see the before and afters you realise how much you guys did. Amazing

[@adsali03]

I enjoy the videos you upload each time. Can you do a video on the 2021 tcr advanced pro 1 disc ?

[@Bikespeeds]

If we get one in for a service at the right time absolutely!🧡⚙️

WOW! a beautiful job! Again!

[@Bikespeeds]

[@todddudgeon2320]

Wait a minute, did I see a tire logo over the valve? Obviously this rider is a Bikespeeds subscriber!😊. Welcome back gentlemen and thanks for another great service and detail. That paint color really shines after a proper polish. It’s an amazing transformation. Congratulations on the milestone - 22K subscribers. Awesome

[@sbccbc7471]

Sorry to burst the bubble, but this is at the lowest level of "attention to detail". It's quite possibly the easiest thing to do. Higher ones include branding orientation of a PressFit BB and chainring bolts.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks very much Todd we appreciate the support and positivity in every comment🧡⚙️

[@zilopipo]

Amazing again! Thank you for sharing this lovely feeling of getting a desperate bike back to life! What a neat job, respect!

[@Bikespeeds]

We are making our episodes slightly longer these days!🧡

[@jacobgundill7969]

Your videos are inspiring me to learn and work on my own bike with a better level of detail down here in Aus. Probably not what you want to hear as a mechanic haha... I would like to see some more commuter/hybrid/flat bar bikes for a bit of variety. Loving it regardless!

[@Bikespeeds]

We have a hybrid coming tomorrow! Thanks for watching Jacob and glad to here you could take something from the videos 🧡🇦🇺

[@nagak112]

Top job Lee, the detailing chosen by the customer on this bike is very satisfying... just to even watch. Definitely pops out.Hope he enjoys his bike & rides again.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Congratulations on the 22k + subs👍That was a really good service to watch and thankyou for taking the time to edit it all together , not forgetting that you have a day job to do as well. I totally agree with you about how a little bit of TLC goes a long way . My winter bike can go from pretty clean to disgusting within a week and the processes you show us on the channel are all part of the joys of bike riding

[@Bikespeeds]

We get many comments asking how bikes ended up in the state they are but with our weather you’re right that it only takes a few rides for a bike to get “destroyed” they need regular upkeep to be mint all the time. Thanks again for all the support🧡⚙️

[@MX5Fanatic]

[@ExcelInstructor]

7:48 I also have tubeless system and honestly over the years I tried like 5 brands: Parktool's, Stans NoTube, Slime's Pete's and some other 2. All didnt work good, the air leakage was quite big or it simply sprayed out the sealent without clogging the hole. Then I finaly started using Mucoff's tire sealent - and wow what a difference. it seals almost immidietly, Im using my 4th 1 liter bottle and no issues and it seals fully within seconds. so yeah it mey be bit more expensive but its worth every single "grosz"

[@Bikespeeds]

Something for us to test!

[@rainerunsinn4808]

Great job! Well done on spotting the cracked stem, you might have saved the owner a couple of thousand pounds at the dentist. From my experience this kind of punctures happens, when riding with a too low tire pressure

[@felixmann7003]

Great job, as always. Love your love for all small details! I just got a question about your choice of copper slip and grease. I thought grease for all moving parts and copper for non moving. But sometimes you´re not following this rule. For example here at the connection of chain ring and crank. Why? Thanks a lot.

[@Bikespeeds]

We use copper grease on metal parts. So plastics of carbons like the chain-set wouldn’t benefit from copper slip. We aren’t experts on greases but that’s what works for us! Always appreciate the support Felix🧡⚙️
