Mountain Bikes are expensive things! Yes, they're a tool to be used and abused in the woods in the name of fun and we're not suggesting that you wrap it up in cotton wool, never to be ridden in anger! But there are several ways that you can give your bike that little bit of extra care and attention in order to save money on maintenance or resale value in the long run! Neil and Anna are here to explain.

The air pressure in your suspension (same for tires) is very dependent on ambient air temperatures. I normally run more air in the cold winter times, as air is denser when it gets colder (the more dense the air, the more psi you need) - therefore one needs more PSI to maintain the same sag as when one rides in the warmer seasons.....there is no year round PSI setting. Always adjust per the season.

Trying to keep your bike in pristine condition is futile because, given the nature of mountain biking, if you ride your bike anywhere off road, it's going to get banged up, guaranteed. There's no avoiding it, and, frankly, there's no reason to. It's just part of the hobby. Also, I flip my bike upside down all the time to work on it, and I've never damaged the saddle, so there's that.

I also flipped it lately while working on it, I just placed something under the handle bars that it doesn't get scratched.

@Wallstreetavarice 10 ай бұрын

Depends completely on what kind of bar you have when it comes to flipping it upside down. Mine rests on the grips and edge of the seat since the oneUp bar has a rise to it. Both of those are replaceable high wear items so resting the bike on them really doesn't matter at all and makes accessing parts of the bike easy when you don't have a lift

yeah. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would SLIDE the bike upside down on the ground to the point that it'd slash the seat? tbh that was the dumbest part of the video imo, together with the leaning part. like yeah leaning with the tire is safer, but will also get the walls scratched pretty freaking quick.

Two things come to mind on turning the bike upside down. First is advice I've seen for those who don't ride very regularly. Turn the bike upside down overnight before a ride. This brings the oil in the fork shocks in contact with the seals and makes sure they are lubricated and working well the next day. I don't know if this is worth doing or not. Second thing is that leaving it upside down too long can allow air to pass the diaphragm on top of the brake reservoirs and result in bubbles in the fluid, reducing braking effect. It sounds a bit of a long shot, but possible.

Another guy shows up and parks next to him (mind you, there was plenty of other spaces to park that were open) then the bike falls against the guys car who just showed up and he screams you've got to be F-ing kidding me! Well of course the winded rider found enough air to yell "Well who told you to park right the eff next to me!" Just saying common sense and courtesy goes a long way to avoiding damage, conflict etc.

I now have a chain hanging from the ceiling in my garage with a large metal ring on the end of it.

i never wash the bike itself because i am fully aware of higher pressured water damaging seals, however the only parts that i do clean are fork/shock/dropper stanchions, and chain. literally nothing else needs cleaning. never had rust and had 1 bike nearly 25 years old now with no rust anywhere. also, i would like an opinion on roof racks, as driving with the bike on a roof rack in the rain would be equal to doing a jet wash at motorway speeds wouldn't it?, also, what about the stones being kicked up by the cars in front? surely there's a possibility of a stone destroying your forks or denting your head tube. I've always put my bike in the back of a car for fear of this happening, but there is a problem for me now as bikes are getting bigger and bigger and i can no longer fit them in the car.

Leaning could have been expanded on - for example, why do people insist on laying a bike down on the derailleur side? Around here we have a low concrete seawall, and it is astounding how many people leave very expensive bikes leaning with their fork stanchions against the top concrete edge.

How to stop pedals cross threading cranks by doing what I've been doing since I were a lad. Hold pedal with one hand, introduce the pedal thread to the crank hole and with your other hand, use your thumb and forefinger to turn the pedal axle until it starts going in. Only then, get your tool out, after the screwing's been started. Even easier if the pedal has spanner flats, more room for fingers. This has the benefit of doing it with your fingers having next to no torque. So you can't strip a thread when tightening a bolt with your fingers. If there're no spanner flats, or you can't get your sausage fingers anywhere near the threads and your using an allen key on the outside of the pedal, insert the long end and turn it lightly with your fingers, until the pedal starts going in. I don't think I've ever introduced one thread to another with full tool cranking force in my life. Always start them off with my fingers or with the long end of the allen key/ 'screwdriver technique', every time. Some people call it mechanical sympathy. That's how you not strip a bolt. Don't just fire in with high torque bolt turning, right from the start.

There's this other small race (Cape Epic 2023) where Specialized claims they had no tire/wheel failures. Aren't you supposed to ride the terrain according to your skill AND equipment level?

its not so much air getting into it, its more air already in it getting into parts of the brake system that its difficult to get it out of. Think about it, you pump the fluid in from the calliper, so if the bike is stored upright then the air bubble will be at the lever, so you can just inject a tiny amount of oil and the bubble is gone. however air will be a lot harder to remove if its right at the bottom of the system in the calliper. its common sense, i dont know why people dont have brains nowadays.

I'm super confused by Anna's comments around 8:40 where she says not to spec an XC drivetrain on a Trail or Enduro bike...but is that even a thing? Thinking about Shimano's lineup, starting from the most high end to the low end, it goes XTR, XT (which is what I have on both my hardtail XC race bike and my full sus trail bike), SLX, and Deore. Was drive train just an example? I get that you wouldn't want to put 2 pot calipers with 160mm rotors on an enduro bike, nor put a 100mm fork on one, but I didn't think Shimano or SRAM had variations for use (other than maybe the SAINT crank/pedal components). I always thought an XT derailleur was an XT derailleur whether it was on a Canyon Sender or a Canyon Lux

@kevinxodemonth 10 ай бұрын

SRAM’s latest Eagle Transmission has the XX and the XX SL (presumably for Super Light) at the highest end. You’d probably not want to spec the SL version on an Enduro in the interest of robustness. But yeah most other drivetrains that come to mind don’t really have an “XC” and “Trail/Enduro” variation.

Please dont use any cleaners on your lawn or anywhere unless it is bio degradable. Same as car wash videos when they wash their car on the lawn or driveway. It is not ok anywhere.

@@Cous1nJack Your answer just show you have not read the labels on the cleaning chemicals. Many cleaners are dangerous to water living creatures, including humans. It has nothing to do with Greta Tunberg.

Ummm, so only XTR have the nice steppings? Wrong, but a good example of how "influencers" make their money. Based on lies and deceit. Even the "entry level" Deore casettes already have that. Shame on you Neil, i hope you sleep well at night, on your pillow of filthy money, earned through lying.
