How To Check Over Your MTB Wheels | Mountain Bike Maintenance

[@hairypaulmm7wab195]

Always best to check the hub bearings first. If the bearings have too much play this makes it impossible to properly true the rim due to the hub moving in relation to the axle. :-)

[@nstilesfabrication]

you just helped me fix me front bearings on my bike thank you

[@teddygibson3997]

Martyn should make a wheelchair trials video

[@davidbradford4312]

Teddy Gibson he is stealing my comment look on the dirt shed show 96Blake even responded to me

[@teddygibson3997]

David Bradford look at the bunny hop video

[@Mediarahan003]

[@teddygibson3997]

Mediarahan it's all love

[@davidbradford4312]

Mediarahan no I said the comment first !!

[@Doonie310]

This video is just what i needed to see, i have massiveee amount of play in my rear wheel, now i know whjy, Nice one dude.

[@DarinZapf]

You guys crack me up! "Don't know WHAT I've been doing to this one?" followed by perfectly funny cut-away clip... Have learned a ton from your vids. Thanks!!

[@danielshemilt6071]

Can you please do a video on checking that your crank is in good condition

[@nikolaidewinnaar7809]

thanks so gmbn you have helped me soooo much... I watch u vids almost every day keep it up gmbn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gmbn]

👍

[@gerard3455]

Probably the most useful video for me rn!

[@Metal-Possum]

The biggest issue with uneven spoke tension or broken spokes, is that the loads are transferred elsewhere, and/or the spokes that are lose fatigue quicker due to the increased forces put onto them under accelerating and braking. Bicycle wheels usually come with 36 spokes or so, not because it gives you a few spare spokes, but because they're all doing an equal amount of work to keep your arse off the ground.

[@calumbarr7797]

This is very ironic because yesterday I went to take my quick release axle out but it wouldn't go easy so I put some more pressure on and my inner axle popped out snapped pouring all the ball bearing everywhere (Good thing I can't ride for 5 nuts weeks with broken collarbone)

[@nicom4996]

After few years it still a good vid. Very helpfull

[@jfnurod]

Hey guys could you do a video on rear shock mounting bushing variations etc. Or one on recommendations for rims for XC, Trail and DH etc. Awesome vid as always thanks!

[@Crickivee]

I needed this!

[@nicojean]

why the spokes of my back tire (hardtail) always get loose after a good practice of technical sections?

[@amaantheking786-_-]

Absolute life saver, big up my guy

[@aryananand4787]

my rear wheel screw the one which tightes the tyre does not rotate by that the wheel is really loose

[@Andyw1905]

Scott needs to take the warning stickers off his disks. School boy!

[@meliodashadeyoshi2115]

I have a certain spoke that makes a noise when squeezing it but it's not loose?

[@sendy_mtb]

do you know why my back rim bangs if I ride a 15 steps stair set as soon as I hit the bottom with the back wheel it bangs loudly

[@TheRHYSD]

My wheel is true but the tyre moves aside to side when rotating. Probably the bead not set in the rim properly. I've tried deflating and inflating many times but can't get it good. The front wheel seams fine tho ?

[@LvcianoN]

Radex 141 try putting some soapy water in the bead before inflating so the tire can seat properly, also you can inflate just a little bit and manipulate the tire side to side so that it is straight!

[@TheRHYSD]

Thanks I'll give it a go

[@LvcianoN]

cool! how did it go?

[@luisiyoo123456]

haha I have the same wheels!! Continental makes a good job! Nice video as always

[@jeansully2345]

+Global Mountain Bike Network could you please do a video on which disc rotor to choose and how to fit it

[@PuntokUno1014]

Sir ive true my spokes wheel but its still wobbles. Everytime i spin the wheel i can see my cassettes wobbles slightly.

[@dieterkoch8414]

Hardtail rules!!

[@justinrees5132]

Cheers neil

[@markdavis8430]

Can u do this on a budget bike (your voodoo) if possible Set up is a little different ✌️

[@tseielsolano2944]

Why do continental tires wobble after removing it?

[@samnewbold8737]

Why are Scott's thru axles facing forward?

[@ramblingmanslife]

Am I the only one who can't stop staring at the tools in these garage videos?

[@gmbn]

Definitely not..

[@taylorevans7235]

Taylor Evans Just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem i’m having with my mountain bike, when i press my front brake the wheel goes to left? tia

[@callsignvader2100]

Ok, so my bike acts liked a fixed gear bike even though it isnt one. like the crank sometimes spins and never stops moving like a fixed gear. so is that bad? i just brought a new Shimano Zee crankset and thats when it started happening. Im confused

[@LvcianoN]

CallsignVader maybe your freehub is gunked up

[@twosons5290]

Someone just received a park tool sponsorship!!!

[@samhilton1562]

Student loan just came in so treated myself to new wheels, old ones were buckled, missing spokes, had dinged rims and the hubs were gone 😂😂 well and truely written off

[@MDTKITECH]

My front wheel is moving to left side when I am applying brake

[@Marco-vp8wl]

if you turn the axel by hand (while the wheel is out) is it normal, that there is a bit of resistance and that you can't give the axel a push so that it continues turning by itself?

[@SuperMelllo]

Nice Product

[@h0lysp4nk]

My mountain bike wheel looks like a pringle its sort of concaved after a bump, is it broken?

[@Soccerproenhancer]

do a game if bike with only hardtails

[@dksantos14]

What is the weight capacity?

[@gregorwellard349]

when i took out my wheel to change tires for some reason when i put it back on and tightened it it rolls reaaaaaalyly bad idk why i did it again and same thing happens. its not making any noise its just like rolling for 3 seconds then stops. i know its not the hub btw thx

[@johnrichards7847]

Greg Wellard the brakes could be pressing on the disk

[@gregorwellard349]

Tru thx

[@gregorwellard349]

I'll check

[@gregorwellard349]

K well I messed around with it for like 15 min tighting untighting and moving stuff around and some how it's working again :/

[@CanIHasThisName]

That's the thing about disc brakes - pretty much every time you take the wheel off, you'll need to readjust the calipers. Luckily, it's a 30 second job. Here it's also a good idea to remind everyone that should you be carrying a spare tube with you, you'll also need a multitool with hex keys in order to adjust your calipers.

[@MrHaxann]

hubs have preload adjustment. what hubs are these? are they any good?

[@maxmarston6]

This video is 'wheelie' good.

[@UdaySheet]

Very helpful video, thanks for share.

[@Road38910]

2 comments here......1) Is it recommended or even possible to true a wheel with an inflated tire on it? 2) Get a screwdriver, any screwdriver, put the tip on the axle and put your ear touching the other end, spin wheel and listen. If it sounds rough and grinding then it needs attention.

[@faniss1380]

So i've just started learning tricks and i think about replacing the wheels. I have a hardtail (27,5 × 2,2) and i am 75kg. Do you have any good (and affordable) suggestions?

[@onilovni1234]

Preload on the bearing? I have this on my roval control, dt swiss derived hub?

[@joegower3400]

is that gmbn's workshop

[@DanielB_]

Thx this helped a lot

[@ohnokylewhy2841]

What model truing stand is that?!? I must have it!!!

[@LvcianoN]

Kyle Calvert it's a park tool professional truing stand. Pretty nice but super expensive.

[@morganedwards1157]

Why is Neil doing maintenance on Scott's hardtail

[@chester371]

Morgan MTB slavery

[@Pienimusta]

Because Scotty can't manaul and broke his XC bike,,, eyhhh

[@christianaltaweel4264]

[@adderall4449]

#askgmbn i have an xc bike and lately whenever i put a lot of power in the pedals the chain almost skips a gear but doesnt. its caused me to crash more than once especially when im out the saddle. any thoughts ?

[@Redrush11]

Adderallopiumion on my 30 gear xc bike if this ever happens its 1 the chains warn out 2 the cogs are warn out 3 the hangar is bent 4 the derailure is bent 5 the chain is just not aligned with the cogs so it jumps

[@adderall4449]

Redrush 11 hanger, deraileur and chain is aligned. i will check my chain and cogs with my local shop. thanks for the help.

[@teddygibson3997]

Coincidence how I bent my spoke completely today 🤔

[@teddygibson3997]

Gmbn know

[@davidbradford4312]

Teddy Gibson same I can't believe it

[@christianaltaweel4264]

Teddy Gibson me too I have just noticed my rim is out of true yesterday #gmbnattime

[@TheNoobaMarsta]

yo wats thatt clicking noise when u spin the wheel?

[@Andrew2004]

The drivetrain, it is supposed to do that that clicky sound

[@TREKjamesa]

that sure is one beautiful bike. xtr drivetrain makes it that much more sexy. why no xtr pedals tho?! lol

[@matigamingtoplay]

Why i dont have yhis sound when i spin my back wheel ?? ;c

[@BravoAlphaTango]

Yeah Neil, what have you been doing with that wheel?...

[@ivanperica3731]

#askgmbn entry level canyon spectral or entry level yt capra for trail riding and a few races

[@LvcianoN]

Ivan Perica canyon!

[@jeremyfrey2344]

What's Scott doing with the sticker still on his disk?? That's almost as bad as riding with your dork disk or reflectors!

[@jacksontrout7676]

Both my front and rear wheels have a bit of play when the brake is locked out. What's the best way to suss out the culprit? BB7 brakes and 26" bontrager wheels.

[@ashtonbeckett6962]

Jackson trout that is normal if it only moves a little bit

[@jedrekbohdanowicz9216]

5:29 when you're so excited about your new bike you forget to take the labels off

[@Finn-ou1ox]

nice video ;D

[@juliwi220]

#askgmbn How much do you guys pay to maintain a Bike and how often do you check it over completely and greetings from Germany

[@jonnyjaywalk]

Should of watched this before saturday when i cracked my carbon fiber wheel (derby wheel) :D Painfully expensive mistake

[@herkusr01]

John DotCom Ohhhhh, that sucks, was it because of a loose spoke?

[@jonnyjaywalk]

yeah, I think it was and because of my tire pressure being slightly too low. Replacement already on the way!

[@erctchanel1119]

hy i'm happy

[@claytonboy2999]

#askgmbn should my MTB shorts match the color of my bike

[@Jonny-im5ml]

CLAYTONBOY you can, or go for a color like black, maybe an accent color from your bike

[@nekomeido]

*_Me:_* *over tightening spokes without even noticing *_also Me:_* *watches this video after I did it wrong

[@scottgauld5877]

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

[@ln663]

hardtail and fd... thats rare on this channel

[@johnrichards7847]

L N lol true unfortunately

[@skymaracle]

spokes are loose..

[@hawkeye7862]

Nice video, my rear wheel on my new giant trance had just started to have a little side to side movement already just after like 5 hours use!?? Do I need to strip it ?

[@mentaldan666]

Arghh. Please stick to a 6pm upload daily! It's way easier.
