Sadly I think that this type of quality service, dedication and expertise is disappearing but I am so glad to have found this channel to see it still exists!

[@sca3330]

Yea most bike shops will not go anywhere near this workmanship

[@themanabroad7800]

Yeah, I agree! I actually looked at how far away bikespeeds are from me for a service, but 4 hours is a bit much unfortunately

[@caseypleasant1922]

One of my favorite videos by you guys..... yall brought this bike back from the dead

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks again Casey this one was a mega job!🧡

[@alfonsoancheta]

Wish the shops in my part of the world offered your kind of service! Love watching your videos, they're very therapeutic!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching and commenting, the kind words go a long way in keeping us going!🧡

[@user-oq9nc1wt2r]

Same here !

[@durianriders]

@7:07 it is great this is an alloy steerer as its obviously been ridden with a loose headset. That would be a ring of death on a carbon steerer.

[@justincoffeedrones259]

Made me happy you also watch these mate!! My two favourite bike freaks haha

[@nyemartin5737]

@durianrider Good to see you commenting on a uk bike channel Harley, big fan and always on the cane train 😀

[@nyemartin5737]

Magic, easily the best bike channel on youtube. 😀

[@Bikespeeds]

Wow! I don’t know about that but we are giving it a good try! Thanks for watching.

[@andrewrose9707]

So therapeutic watching these videos. I love servicing my own bikes and spend too much time watching restoration/maintenance/cleaning of bikes (and cars and motorbikes). Also your voice is so calm and easy to listen to. You could have an alternate (or parallel) career narrating childrens stories. Great work

[@Bikespeeds]

Haha so people keep telling me lol. Thanks for watching and enjoy your work🧡

[@josephbell7994]

I live here in Texas and would love to have you go over my ole 90s Specialized bike! Enjoy your channel and love seeing the clean-up and restoration of older model bikes.

[@Bikespeeds]

Cool bike! Enjoy it, we’ve done a couple of retro specialized on the channel. Thanks for watching!🧡

[@leslie7922]

i have the same bike and covered all the holes with a small piece of black tape, definitely a good idea and pleased to see you did it too.

[@zobelmatthewlopez7775]

I wish we had this kind of bike restoration service here in the Philippines.

[@durianriders]

Good on you mate. Restoring these bikes is WAY more enjoyable than working on this new over priced road intergrated junk with disc brakes.

[@Bikespeeds]

We couldn’t agree more, they work as they should which is more than can be said for some of the latest stuff!🧡🚲

[@michaelbrown3351]

Just wanted to say if I lived closer to you I would definitely bring you all my bikes to service, however it’s a bit of a long trek from South Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@JimmyHedman]

I've always disliked to clean my bike, but after watching your videos and gotten some tips and loads of inspiration I'm looking forward to it! Thanks!

[@Bikespeeds]

Hi Jimmy thanks for commenting! To give it a nice in depth clean really can be rewarding, good luck!🧡🚲

[@slipknot5037]

its so rewarding cleaning bikes. 😁

[@ashleymcavery4132]

I've watched all of your videos now, very enjoyable. You've made me buy a torque wrench! Needless to say some of the bolts on my bike were all over the place!!

[@Bikespeeds]

No better feeling than fixing some loose bolts!🚲

[@Mathieucros31]

I can’t figure out why watching this relax me

[@antoniotiangco896]

Well done restoration.

[@aeronnepomuceno3300]

Most of the bike shops here in my country lack that dedication and passion when it comes to servicing bikes. I admire your channel and I could not tell you how satisfying it is to watch everything especially because I have decided a long time ago that I will be the only person to ever service my bike. How I wish bike shops here offered the same quality of service. Kudos!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for the nice comment Aeron we appreciate it!🧡

[@stickmenkissarmy6907]

Very nice job on this project.

[@MrAnon-2024]

Only recently found your channel but loving the videos. I only wish you were closer to the north east of England 😉👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching! Glad to have you on board with us 🧡

[@20dpb]

Not only is this a very entertaining channel, but I have learned so much from watching your videos. I'm very jealous of anyone that is in your neighbourhood! Keep up the great work!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for the kind words Dave!🧡

[@LukeChiao]

Super therapeutic!

[@kuanhau4323]

Clean cassette and wheel hubs. It’s a good day!

[@CarlosE1112]

This is so satisfying, I wish my bike gotten such a nice, careful and detailing service every time I take it to the bike shop

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Carlos!

[@carlpentney290]

Showcasing your work on KZbin was an absolutely inspired decision and you deserve all the success that brings. Very professional business, and the videos are a reason to look forward to Wednesdays!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Carl we always appreciate a comment like that🧡

[@timtaylor9590]

turning the bolt with the caliper helps alot too.

[@michaelbrown3351]

Wow,!!! Just watching you go about your work shows that you are a true professional and so enthusiastic in the care and attention you give your customers. For me watching it’s so relaxing and therapeutic and enlightening. I’m a road cyclist myself and I can only hope that when I put my bike in for a full service I get this quality and attentiveness. I’m loving this channel , well done.

[@Bikespeeds]

That’s a real supportive comment, thanks for taking the time Michael those comments keep us going🧡

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Nice to see dedicated workers who care about what they do and who take pride in their work...thanks for sharing.

[@Bikespeeds]

Much appreciated thank you Joseph🧡⚙️

[@BulletGaming012]

Certainly part of my Wednesday night now! Learning lots along the way too.

[@DeanPattrick]

I agree with not putting electronics into water or in your case ultrasonic. Another superb video, great work on the bike.

[@qqqqhuz]

lovely rebuild

[@hairtrigga]

this is the best therapy!😀

[@dhruxxx]

The bike looks like a dream and i'm pretty Sure It also performs like a dream. Stunning work

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Dhruv🧡

[@jonsvednell9135]

Tanks for good videos it’s so nice to look at

[@DanTuber]

super effort. looks like new

[@fisky2000]

The attention to detail makes me happy, your my meticulous god. 👍

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Nicholas! This is a very nice comment to receive🧡🚲

[@markrylatt6521]

Recently discovered your channel and have enjoyed watching the videos, as per other comments the enthusiasm and insight into the things that you find are enlightening. Great to watch something where there isn't an underlying sales pitch or pushing product, recommendations are fine and gratefully received.

[@Ken419_]

Amazing Service! Small details make a world of difference.

[@zaq96270]

so satisfy to watch

[@WrenB111]

Great bike channel! Throw some vintage bikes up on the stand for us!! Greetings from Virginia, USA 🇺🇸

[@Bikespeeds]

Check out our channel, we have a triumph, a Humber & a Raleigh dotted in there.

[@craigs66]

Fantastic. Thank you for this.

[@Maartenvankooij]

C-Bear BB! Nice.

[@grahamhynes3976]

Brilliant work as always, it's fantastic to watch an expert at his work. The high regard you have for your customers is so evident in the care taken in their bikes. Look forward to the next vid

[@wigglyfruitcup]

If the front brake were to be stuck like that. First you remove the wheel, then brake pads so they do not rub or hit against the fork, then you use the 5mm allen on the mounting nut and you hold it vs you loosening it, and now you twist the brake caliper instead. Usually all the crud are stuck around the mounting nut vs the actual bolt itself.

[@TheKrisKing]

Pleasure to watch the difference on this one. Makes me want to clean up the bicycle and give her a ride.

[@Bikespeeds]

I must admit I often watch our own videos and wind up cleaning my own bikes!

[@danashmore4765]

That is a stunning looking bike at the end, great job 👏 I love a clean drivetrain alway makes a bike look better. I will clean mine after a shred on the weekend

[@Bikespeeds]

Have a good ride and enjoy cleaning your bike up, thanks for watching Dan!🧡

[@P373RV2]

Simply lovely work. You are a great mechanic. Not just about making it work again but rather make it better than before. Best example the rear brake cable. Not a lot of guys would have made it so nicely rapped with the di2 cables….

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Peter! We do try and treat every bike as if it were our own🧡

[@mourice6804]

I would like to say congratulations for your successful business I have just recently subscribed to your channel and I can honestly say I love it keep up the fantastic work

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Mourice. 🧡👍🏻🚲

[@jeffvandenadel4640]

Amazing job!!!

[@antisha82]

I really enjoy watching this, so much love for the bike

[@Bikespeeds]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 🧡

[@bjarnestrand-henriksen]

Amazing rebuild! One of my favorites. Surprised that no other parts of the drivetrain was worn, sinse the jockeywheel was destroyed. Love your videos!

[@MS-bw7yt]

I love your work and dedication and I know you are properly getting a bit tired of the copper slip topic. But please, just switch to a modern ceramic or non-metallic assembly compound. Please! Is just better. I work as an engineer in the automotive industry and we stopped using cooper slip years ago. There are just better alternatives out there. Keep up the good work!

[@PauloBurgio]

Love bikes and it’s very satisfying watching one get brought back to life

[@shanegreen2583]

Great work

[@paulburns3016]

Very nice bike build 👍🏼🚴🏼

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks again Paul!🧡

[@Adam_Crebo]

Only just discovered this channel and love the videos... appeals to my OCD car detailing background! Now to work out who owns the bike and who would have such a 'Cav'-alier (?) attitude to maintenance!

[@Bikespeeds]

Funny you should say that Adam, me Simon (who makes the videos) and my dad Lee are both massive petrol heads and our idea for this channel was to take the car detailing format and apply it to bikes, our inspiration was in a way AMMO NYC, thanks for watching!🧡

[@Adam_Crebo]

@@Bikespeeds It definitely shows, in a good way! I've only been cycling for a couple of years but frequently enjoy an OTT clean... which most friends insist is absolutely pointless the moment I set foot back on the road!

[@zickmcdougall4960]

Oh Man U say it’s rewarding, I feel rewarded just watching! I’d love to learn more about bikes and proper rebuilding. Big fan from Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 ✌️🙏👆🚴‍♂️

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching Zick 🇨🇦🇬🇧🧡

[@TheGeordieTiger]

Another good job, folks! Hope the owner gets to fully benefit from this properly soon!

[@olekmehera7256]

That paint job after the Tcut just hits different ;) sexy bike hope it gets many more miles in soon

Thanks for watching and commenting Olek, great to have you watching🧡

[@joannelouiserodriguez5966]

Awesome job lee looks a nice stylish lookijg bike love it i dont get di2 i am just old school tho but sure owner loves it more now!

[@StreamBikesNL]

Great work. The time and dedication you put in is simply breathtaking. What a transformation.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Wouter!

[@ChristopherPronger]

Inspired by your channel, I went and bought a small bottle of car polish and went over couple of my bikes. The 90's steel MTB has a really nice shine to it right now.

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks Christopher, we’re a fan of those 80’s 90’s bikes, they shine up awesome with their metallic paint!🚲

[@ewanlivlingstone1759]

Great video and great workmanship, it is so satisfying to watch these bike get transformed.

[@Bikespeeds]

Give it a go, there’s never a problem that can’t be fixed. If it goes wrong, take it to a bike shop, and if it goes right you’ll be glad you did it!🧡

[@LPmtbADVENTURES]

@@Bikespeeds great advice thank you

[@TheKoosterify]

Hi, I'm a bike shop owner (just a startup bike shop, really). I too do cable with heatshrink like you did on 9:22 but with heat gun and some occasional lighter here and there. It's really neat and beautiful like you wouldn't believe! very recommended but it's a bit of a hassle so you better off asking a local bike shop to do it haha ;) Kemal - K .Bike Shop Bandung, Indonesia

[@Bikespeeds]

The heat shrink we use you can point a heat gun at for an hour and it won’t shrink! It’s quite an industrial one. Good luck with your start up & thanks for watching! 🧡👍🏻🚲

[@biosfear01]

Another great video! Love your comments through the video explaining your process. Many useful tips which i have learnt! I'm glad you are blowing up on KZbin! - Arthur

Thanks for watching, glad to have you subscribe!🧡

[@Beto_toro]

I love your videos. Thanks to you, I got the courage to strip down my bike and restore it after watching almost all of them. It took a long time, but I did it even though I'm a beginner to bike maintenance. I'm looking foward to more of your videos. Thank you! Ps I got a torque wrench 🔧 to make sure I torque everything to manufacturer specifications 😄

[@Bikespeeds]

Thanks for watching, comments like this always amaze us, glad we could help🧡

Great job - new sub for me for this video alone. How anyone can ride a bike in that state is beyond me although my son who works in a bike shop tells me it’s not uncommon for people to bring high end bikes in that are that bad!
