Revolt Rebuild - Gravel Bike Makeover

[@hugobosswood9002]

Nic seems like a great guy and very knowledgeable when I see him on yours and Mr Cades channel.

[@Josh-Reid]

Nic is a great guy.

[@abhimawa1]

It’s a joy to see this video. Also, kudos to Giant for producing dependable product. Reliabiliity over bling factor. No drama 👍

[@davidbianic4350]

The bearings geekery I didn't know I needed

[@biggerbang83]

Last week I bought a Revolt Advanced 2 thanks to you, Josh. I love it.

[@Josh-Reid]

Glad you like it. Such a great bike.

[@michaelgould3475]

Finally a bike mechanic talking sense especially rear hanger and bar tape although I personally like to wrap from the top because it looks really neat

[@curran1981]

A master at work, especially when he does bar tape.

[@casaamerica8931]

Fantastic job...

[@SzX1X]

So interesting seeing Nic working on your Bike. He seems so nice, calm and professional. Best Bike tech video I have seen in the last months! Thank you!

[@Josh-Reid]

Wow, thanks!

[@scottwatson7844]

If only we had a Nick in every bike shop.

[@CycleXplorer]

Lovely bike, amazing work from Nic.

[@alanhill7965]

I really enjoyed this video !

[@keithd938]

Keep up the great work Josh , you are a credit to the younger generation. Nick flawless mechanic too 😎

[@Josh-Reid]

Thanks ☺️

[@DavosPessos]

I got a similar press fit BB tool and yes it’s a brilliant tool this one 👍🏾👍🏾

[@kamucho]

Love this , great to hear Nic talk through what’s he’s doing

[@thedoginside]

I'm sure Nic has bad days, but every time I see him, he looks like he really enjoys his work.

[@cwmitch2]

Cheers for the vid, Really enjoyed it.

[@Josh-Reid]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@charlesblithfield6182]

+1 to the Win Wing mudguards. Totally recommend.

[@williamforbes7156]

i actually take a new razer to the drops bar tape so i have clearance to run flat kit that expansion plugs the ends and looks cleaner if you get the lines straight. thank you for making the back and forth into a video it speaks dividends to a well versed mechanic with the right tools, not pushing snake oil.

[@dalj4362]

I wish all bike shops were like this 😂

[@kornenator]

Hutchinson adding those tyres to their line-up is news to me, they look very interesting for my usecase. Next time i need a new set this will definitely be on the short list.

[@Dolmar-Rick]

It's nice to see no moaning of pressfit and saying it should be that crappy t47. That bb looked perfectly good to me. They definitely need changing or taking out and cleaning around shells regular. Can't say im a fan of grease round the shells, though, all the dirt and dust that gets down inside the frame it sticks in the grease and acts like a grinding paste. It can wear the carbon shells... think I prefer retaining compound🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mwilliams1931]

Aren’t you supposed to rotate the wheel with the alignment gauge so you have the same point of reference. Otherwise you might just measuring a wonky wheel

[@JogieGlenMait16]

unexpectedly, the giant revolt seems easy to maintain. that's news to me.

[@merseypicsvids]

Great vid as always. Your audio is only coming through one channel via the Rode Go mic

[@MacMasore]

10:15 btw the carbon aero bars from Deda has also big enough holes to get the olives through (at least from shifter to stem) I wasn’t exticed to possible have to do the whole draining and bleeding thing just to have my favourite bars. But I was lucky

[@keithwilson9804]

I'm surprised to see that when setting the rr derailleur hanger you don't use the same spot on the wheel IE rotate the same part of the wheel to the to the measurement point. This takes out any error due to wheel buckle ?

[@tomlawrance]

this is bike building ASMR

[@EastCrate]

Hey Josh, I have a revolt advance 2 but I am not sure what is the correct Bottom Bracket for it, I will put axs rival 2x crankset.

[@gaza4543]

Hi guys the bottom bracket. Does it come with a sleeve to protect the crank axel? If not how do you stop the cable rubbing the though the axel?

[@alkfema]

The level of profession from nic is outstanding. Can you tell me which bar tape he used? Thanks!

[@Josh-Reid]

Easton microfiber bar tape

[@alkfema]

@@Josh-Reid thanks! How do you like it? You had different ones before iirc.

[@Josh-Reid]

@@alkfema I like it. Comfortable.

[@MatthiasSpohr-x3r]

How much would this service cost ?

[@dingdongcat]

Could you convert this to a flat bar setup?

[@christianschlegel1059]

What kind of saddle are you using? The shape looks great.

[@Josh-Reid]

It’s a Giant Approach SL

[@Goldiie65]

Have you got a link for the bottom bracket tool?

[@Dimashoey]

Any dirt inside the seatpost, perhaps?

[@petersouthernboy6327]

What brand were those brake pads again ?

[@zane1os]

I’d like to know this as well. A pad that doesn’t squeal is the holy grail.

[@Josh-Reid]

SwissStop RS

[@petersouthernboy6327]

@@Josh-Reid thanks so much 👍

[@Bikingforbreakfast]

Where is Nic’s bike shop

[@davideastwood6365]

Newcastle.

[@andarenbici]

Is there not a warranty on the bearings that come with the bike?

[@philhubbard2096]

Generally you don't get one on consumable parts. You've got to remember as well that 3-4 months for Josh is a year or two for most riders

[@mattcarter2902]

What is that genius bottom bracket removal tool???

[@Josh-Reid]

Enduro Bearings BRT-003 and it is genius.

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

Great eideo

[@daniellovett6213]

Very nice, how much was the service? 🤣

[@HughHarvey-ih1li]

What was the name of your mudguards

[@Josh-Reid]

Ass Saver Win Wing

[@OneDougUnderPar]

Great vid, thanks! If you could just, like, film his tool wall for a bit, it would really make me feel inadequate and inferior.

[@petersouthernboy6327]

I beat the living snot out of my Revolt - it’s a great bike.

[@Josh-Reid]

Such a great bike. It’s taken me to some amazing places.

[@jonathanrobinson2628]

How many km was it for the bike to require the servicing and partial rebuild? My kilometers are creeping up, but spread out across a few bikes.

[@Josh-Reid]

Not sure on how many km exactly but I think it was more the amount of river crossings the bike had which caused the bearings to need replacing.

[@jonathanrobinson2628]

That makes sense. Our conditions are very benign by comparison so need not worry yet

[@benjaminhuikeshoven]

What is the mudguard brand

[@Fudgeis1337]

Ass Savers

[@Josh-Reid]

Ass Saver Win Wing

[@Mattc33]

What brand bb tool is that?!

[@Josh-Reid]

Enduro Bearings

[@IamAttie]

What is Nic surname

[@davidcaush5036]

They say! Support your local bike shop, but when I phoned Nic’s place to ask about upgrading my bikes gearing, handlebars etc. I was told that it couldn’t be done, the mechanic just didn’t appear interested.

[@Trimate02]

Sometimes even with a pneumatic driver it’s impossible to undo that sram crank bolt…

[@cyronixed]

why does the mechanic need such a big axe? 19:57

[@simonlynch4204]

Am I the only one getting all the voices in the left ear? It's like the balance is off... (not an earphone issue... just cehcked)

[@gregor9921]

Nic is only left, yeah, Josh is right

[@dalj4362]

No problem here.

[@kinyast1]

❤️🇰🇪👏🏿

[@therollingwheels1603]

But this chain checker... This park Tool is worthless, with flattop chains you have to use park Tool cc-4 or Sram checker with 3 points of measurment. What is more chain should be tensioned. Measurment in this film says nothing.

[@balazs_korcsog]

waaaaaaaaaait .......... you dont need to replace the olive????????????? wtf ive been cutting them off on my bike all the time :(

[@barrykearney-luc7232]

You never mentioned how much the Rebuild cost ??

[@Josh-Reid]

I’m very lucky that Nic is a good friend so not sure it would be the best example of how much a service such as this would cost and it would vary from shop to shop. Sorry this doesn’t help much.

[@Bikes-n-Stuff]

Couldn’t you flush the bearings and grease them and extend the life? I know they’re technically sealed and won’t be perfect but just hate that we throw so much away which as a society isn’t sustainable…. Love my revolt even though it’s not this model.

[@NelsonSherry]

Anyone suggesting mech hangers shouldn't be straightened is an uninformed or misinformed person with little or no actual experience or understanding of the subject.

[@kaufuss]

Such bad sound

[@barrykearney-luc7232]

Understood, but a bit misleading

[@Trek-om3dg]

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30) For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
