"I don't like working on my brakes" Continues to pull out one of the most badass tool kits I've seen in my life 😊

[@PeterJamison]

Gotta have the nice tool kit to take the edge off of working on something I don't prefer to 😂

[@movetoreddeer]

I bet 90% of the time when I hear a noise it sounds like its coming from anywhere and everywhere but it’s really just the chain 😂

[@PeterJamison]

Always the best place to check first no doubt! Thanks for watching!

[@lars_atx]

I like using silicone fusing tape to wrap cockpit cables together. Non Adhesive and sets up a pretty permanent bond, cheap, so I don't mind cutting it if I have to do cable replacements, comes in diff colors too.

[@PeterJamison]

Sounds rad I’ll have to check that out 🤘🏼

[@mtb10s40]

All great tips! Again you replied to all the comments, what a great guy! My bonus tip: Faster I go the more wind in my ears can’t hear a thing! IZZO & JEFFSY FTW!

[@PeterJamison]

Haha that is a good tip for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@Ethanlf19]

Great video, definitely going to implement a couple of these tips whilst working on my bike! Thank you 🙏

[@PeterJamison]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@fasttimeswithnubfactor]

Nothing beats a silent bike. I run an onyx vesper rear hub, silent instant engagement seriously does the trick. Droool!!!

[@PeterJamison]

That's one way to get total silence for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@SquaredCircle777]

Dumonde Tech Pro X will silence any hub for $20.

[@PeterJamison]

Dumonde makes some amazing products for sure 👍🏼

[@powerstrokemaintenance]

Maintenance is definitely key! Appreciate the tip on just lubing the rollers

[@PeterJamison]

Thanks for watching!

[@samanthasorian0]

Sick vid! Definitely going to implement these 💪🏼

[@PeterJamison]

Can’t wait to see you rippin on the tools 🙌🏻

[@Samson-ej5sp]

Dang dude thats a dream garage. Nice video. I do the same thing with shifting with the chain lube .

[@PeterJamison]

Super thankful for the garage for sure! Glad you enjoyed the video and nice to hear you do the same with the shifting 👊🏼

[@calinfloyd]

Such a sick rig PJ!

[@PeterJamison]

Glad you like the bike and thanks so much for watching!

[@bchearne]

I would recommend wax lube, which will protect your entire chain. No lube on the side of the chain is asking for a rust problem

[@PeterJamison]

Good recommendation for sure! I suppose lube on the side of the chain could vary based on your environment 🤙🏻 Here is Southern Utah rust isn’t much of a worry where as fine dust/dirt is 🤘🏼

[@jonholway5465]

I use Lubriplate chain and cable fluid on the chain and let it soak over night. Wipe down next day. This is a penetrating oil so the rollers are lubricated inside!

[@PeterJamison]

Going to have to check that out! Thanks!

awesome, you should do a your whole bike fleet video! my rear shock sounds like a aluminum can right now 😂

[@PeterJamison]

Dang sorry about your shock! A full bike fleet video will happen in the future no doubt 🤙🏻 Thanks for watching!

[@JoshAllenberg]

I constantly forget to grab one of my adjustable wrenches to straighten my rotors. Hopefully I remember to do it thanks to this 😂

[@PeterJamison]

Adjustable wrench does the trick for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@bchearne]

Or you could buy an expensive special tool for too much money and forget to use THAT instead of your adjustable wrench

[@JoshAllenberg]

@@bchearne gotta support the LBS right?

[@AleksAndonov-hs4mc]

I love to use sewing machine oil to lube the chain it costs close to nothing and its really good

[@PeterJamison]

🤙🏼

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

The rattling of internally routed hydraulic brake hoses and shift cables within the frame (Me: Nukeproof Reactor, full carbon frame, Factory) is a little more challenging to silence, but so worth it and satisfying when its done! Foam tubing, or similar, over the internal lines definitely works. But if you haven't tried Nerf darts with the tips cut off, or thought about cutting long strips out of a pool noodle, have you really tried everything??😂👍‼

[@PeterJamison]

😂😂 foam tubing works well for that!

[@the_boss111]

What bike is the blue bike? AND Thank you for the advice for a silent bike loved the video

[@PeterJamison]

Glad you enjoyed the video! The blue bike is a YT Tues 👍🏼

[@the_boss111]

Thank you@@PeterJamison

[@glaborie]

I had an annoying rattle and couldn't find where it was coming from. It turns out the cassette was slightly loose

[@PeterJamison]

Oh yeah, that’s a good one. Glad you got it sorted!

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

I ride my bike right after lubing so it will be shifted either way. I leave the bike in last gear out of habit since a mechanic once told me that my derailleur broke possibly from being left on a bigger cog a lot of something. Frankly neither of know what happened there but if it might've been the problem I'll just avoid it. But that means the moment I ride I will be shifting it 3 gears up. My main bike's noise issue was from the linkage bearings. The other one just has a rattly wheel, axle is tight, it really just has weird issues.

[@PeterJamison]

Sorry to here about your troubles!

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

@@PeterJamison but does that actually hold true? Do you also leave your bikes in last gear after riding?

[@PeterJamison]

@@Rose_Butterfly98 Personally I have never heard of that and I don't actually think about what gear my bike is in when I put it away. Leaving your bike in the easiest gear will have the derailleur more stretched out which could maybe cause wear over time, but I am not too certain. Hope this helps!

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

@@PeterJamison Thanks for the information. I'm starting to doubt that was the issue seeing as it broke in under a year

[@PeterJamison]

@Rose_Butterfly98 yep a year would be quick for that to break in that fashion, good luck finding the source of the issue 🙏🏼

[@sethbarratt7551]

just a quick one what cassette and derailleur is that that your using and i know the saint is expensive and way out my budget do you have any high quality silent durable derailleurs you recommend at a lower price

[@PeterJamison]

This is a Saint drivetrain on this bike, however, for a silent/durable/affordable setup I would look into the Shimano XT Linkglide 👊🏼

[@bchearne]

Regarding adjusting brake caliper position, the system they’ve designed is super annoying. All the little washers and spacers just make it difficult to keep the caliper position steady while tightening. Engineers have failed us on that one

[@PeterJamison]

Sorry to hear about your struggles! If you have the washers arranged correctly you should have no problem 👍🏼 Might be worth looking into picking up a new brake adapter and seeing if it solves your problem 💯 Hope this helps!

[@asrulz]

How to make the hub more quiet?

[@PeterJamison]

Best way to do that is to use a heavy weight grease 👍🏼 But you need to be careful not to go too heavy and cause your hub to stop engaging 🤘🏼

[@Ashton_Shields_POV]

Hay quick question what camera do you use most?

[@PeterJamison]

I use my Canon R5 and GoPro the most 👍🏼

[@multich2443]

can you make a video about your gorpo settings pls

Sure thing! I was planning on making a video on GoPro setup soon, so you should see it in the next few weeks 💯

[@roesslermaxi]

sick bike Do you thnk the yt tues is better o m (5 11) in L with a single crown or in m

[@PeterJamison]

Glad you like the bike! Regarding sizing, I would definitely recommend a large if you are looking at the 27.5 model 🤘🏼

[@roesslermaxi]

also as a freeride with a enduro forks@@PeterJamison

[@PeterJamison]

@@roesslermaxi Yep, the size medium tues has a reach of 429mm which is very short and would be considered a small by most brands. If you want something super small and easy to move around, you could go that route. But as an all around DH bike I would suggest considering the large 💯

[@roesslermaxi]

but the L is also working ? thanks for your time

[@PeterJamison]

@@roesslermaxi I am riding a large 27.5 Tues for Freeride right now, am also 5'11", and it feels perfect 👍

[@FENIX-527]

Number one way to keep your bike silent buy cheap shity hubs they don't make a sound they're the complete opposite of the hope hubs

[@PeterJamison]

A bit of extra grease in an expensive hub can make them quiet also ✌
