Hub Service With Pro Bike Mechanic - Featuring Enduro Bearings

Sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the workshop in this series dedicated to dreamy ASMR-style bike build videos. Chilled Builds blends the arts of bike building and filmmaking to showcase beautifully unique custom bikes in a calming format.
In this video Nic replaces the wheel bearings on Francis Cade's Scott Addict Gravel using his gold Enduro Bearing Press.

The best part of this video are: 1. Observing the care with which Nic stores his tools (rack, original boxes, rolls); and 2. The condition of his tools, like the threads on bearing presses. Liquid smooth. So clean and lightly piled threads. Nice!

[@kovie9162]

So much more refined than doing the same for car bearings, which involve hydraulic presses or impact wrenches. But in the end bearings are bearings and it's the same basic procedure.

I wish I could hang out & watch the bike builds and other projects at Nic's shop in person

[@larisonjohnson]

Preaching to the choir boys! Nic’s got the swag though…Nice. A few of those bearing tools are next level, I usually just pull them out with the press. Always Enduro, never regrets

[@crankgreenwatts]

Not a lot you can say when Nic is working 🐐🙌

[@Shewie01]

Strangely captivating, loved Nics bearing extraction face

[@gemini8675]

That man loves his tools

[@DoNuT_1985]

[@CanyonWanderer]

Nic, Jimmi, thanks! Never knew I needed a bearing press, but now I feel I do 😉 Great video

[@BigBailBikesandBeer]

Ace as always

[@SWoj74]

Love the music!

[@nicklaw3721]

Love the bearing drifts, are they home made or Enduro parts

[@malcontent510]

Is Katherine's entire college tuition going to be paid for by Nic's lucrative sponsorship contract with Enduro?

[@kevinlyon9501]

What lovely tools Nic has, so much easier than cup and cone bearings with your balls going all over the place.

[@Sem84]

Impressed by your steady cam-holding skills when Nic was performing his actions @3:13. You must have been on the floor rolling the first time you saw Nic doing this, Jimmi 🤣 (Or is it just me...)

[@nicvieri2627]

hahaha, quite the angle

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

I'm a professional.

[@amjustin3048]

👏👏👏👏

[@Squizzy05]

What about a video on what lube/ grease you use and where/why ?

[@nicvieri2627]

I’m definitely keen on doing that.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Ge the pre-production done and we can make it soon.

Heavy 100kg rider here. Enduro bearings have been horrible in terms of durability. Good enough for the freewheel but not the main hub. Brands like FAG and TPI have held up much better.
