@jonathanpayne680Ай бұрын
Completely appreciate your decision to cross the cables, although we've had numerous accounts whereby crossing the gear cables internally results in rear shifting issues. Mainly when the added tension when shifting the front mech up can pull on the rear cable (sometimes as much as half a gear shift) and cause skipping. The only solution I've found when this occurs is not crossing the cables, and offering the customer a free frame wrap where the cables would rub. Great work as always though!

One thing I like to do with bikes with internal headsets if the frame has a regular round interface where the fork crown meets the frame is put an O-ring on that is slightly thicker than the gap between the fork and frame. It should be a size that fits around the gap to keep grit and water out, but no tighter than that. Bikes that get ridden in the rain without mudguards fling water and road grime into that gap as the front wheel rotates. Adding an O-ring here does wonders to adding longevity to the lower bearing, and costs less than a dollar, pound or euro. If for any reason it’s not desirable down the road, it’s easy to cut off.

Recently serviced myself the giant revolt gravel bike I bought for my wife. It was recently serviced at a bike shop. Boy oh boy! One pulley wheel was put on wrong way around, cable housings were truly rusted and one had even broken part stuck in cable stop. They just put new cables thru. Seatpost came out with beach amount of dust and grime. Just horrible, gave my feedback to the buddy of mine whom I bought the bike from. He was more than upset. Even the carbon handlebar was overtightened at the lever by someone. I am very confident in my abilities, build and service my rim and disc bikes myself. I even go bit further than you. In that case I flushed insides of gear shifters with stripped covers using wd40, regreased them with the same oil you had for brake calipers and disassembled the rear mech. Wanted to ask how you look at a bit of grease in cable stop ferules? I tend to put in some for gravel/all weather bikes. Great video, thanks!

Great vid and the pricing is great if you'd ask me. I've paid about the same for the not-so-thorough of my (rim) TT bike which was only a check and clean, no full rebuilt. TT-bikes are terrible to take apart but the shop did charge extra for replacing one brakehose. I service my other bikes myself and I don't really mind the cable routing, but I am looking for a new roadbike and the ease of servicing is a factor because it seems to become increasingly difficult to do those things at home. My local shops are pretty pricey so I don't want to fall back on those (charging almost 100 euros / 83 pounds for labour only when replacing a chain and cassette... come on...).

Many in business are keen for maximum short term returns, not the case here.

Cranks - did I hear just ship it back and get a warranty replacement? Doesn't happen where I live tho

Yep. Just take your cranks back for inspection every week until they are bored of you and relent. We just speed up that process.

Wow! Very sexy looking wheel hubs 😍 It is always interesting to see and hear about the latest and greatest the industry has to offer but I must admit that I really appreciate a video like this, where an old and 'unhappy' bike is being given a new lease of life and probably rides as good, if not better, than when it was brand new.
