For the V-brake system, you can disconnect the “J” shaped metal tube from the brake arm to get more space to take the wheel out and you don’t need to disconnect the cable

Old-School Tip: Place the tubes in a plastic bag, add some baby powder, shake bag, install powdered tube in tire & inflate! A powdered tube seats easier in the tire!

Yes, works, but messy and not really needed unless you are really bad at seating the tube.

When I replaced inner tubes or tires, I would always turn the bike upside down and rest it on the handlebars and seat. The bike stays upright and it's easy to take off the wheels and reinstall.

When you gone replace the pads. Screw the pad on till the nut touching, back of like 3 turns. Press the arm with the loose brake pad on the rim as high as possible then turn the nut tight. You see the brake pad move clockwise a bit. Loosen the nut just a bit you see the pad align counterclockwise good and now just hold your thumb under the right side of the pad while tightening. Trust me its gives the best results.

Also for a 40mm tire (clincher inner tube) in the front, you'd probably not need any more than 45psi. 70psi would be very hard and provide very poor grip while cornering or in the wet... not being an arse but just a genuine suggestion.

@Zardwark 2 ай бұрын

Also the brakes aren't balanced, especially the front. There is a tension screw so they sit centre *and* pull evenly from both sides. If it's bad the pad with drag slightly increasing wear on one pad. Also the valve lockring is easier to undo with the tyre inflated, so do that first. 'B-' could do better :-)

FWIW, the reflective stripes really are visible! I do a lot of riding at night too, and a bit of overkill in terms of lighting and reflectors doesn't hurt.

@johnromberg 2 ай бұрын

IIRC, for bicycles, unless the ride surface is something threads/knobs can actually dig into, the balder the tire the better. Even in the wet! Basically, if you're not doing actual down hill MT, gravel, ice and stuff like that stick with slicks. I think it comes down to the fact that you can't really aquaplane on a bicycle, so the threads that look like they would channel the water away, like on a car, are effectively just a waste of grip on a bicycle.

@@EEVblog2 Fair play, especially since I'm saying that from very dubious memory. But I was definitely set on getting some schwalbe kojaks at some point and it's unlikely I decided that without research. It's worth a google is what I'm saying. Although, people who ride on roads at breakneck speeds, taking scary fast corners rain or shine are all on slicks and skinny ones at that. So there's probably something there...

@@EEVblog2hi bike mechanic here. The type of profile on these urban tires do jack shit. It's the pressure in the tire and rubber compound that provide the grip on the small contact area of a road bike tire and the relatively low weight of the rider and bike. I can imagine the look of the tire gives you more confidence though. But the science is not there to support it. Its foremost a way for the companies to distinguish themselves from each other.

@j.f.christ8421 2 ай бұрын

@@EEVblog2 Dude's right, bicycle tyres are too skinny for tread to make any real difference. Lower pressure and wider tyres is also better than ultra skinny & ultra high pressure even if "common sense" and spherical cows on steel rollers says otherwise.

Dear EE, you can just unhook the brake cable from the other side without having to do the spanner thing..

yeah... I think the "noodle", or metal housing that bends 90 degrees, can be unhooked from the brake caliper arm. Much easier than loosening the cable. 🙂

Works well this way if you're right handed. Right hand access to the lever on the front tyre when coming from the front, and right hand lever access from the rear of the bike for the rear tyre. However, for aesthetic/pedantic reasons, it would drive me insane if both levers weren't on the same side, preferably on the right🤣👍

Why Presta over Schrader valves? Can someone explain?

In this case because the rims are presta. Schrader is larger diameter so you have to drill out the rim if you wanted to swap.

Thin tires has less aerodynamic drag but thicker are better for non ideal surfaces and better at braking. Never buy cheap tires or from big shops with everything, because they have bad grip and uneven tread which is unsafe - especially at higher speeds... Edit: always regulate brakes after removing wheels or You can have very bad day. After removing rear one, regulate derailleurs - especially stop screws.

@@EEVblog2 "Ride or die". I remember doing ~40 km/h in the center of Munich (very big city). My top speed was 80 km/h from a steep descent. With higher speed we need better tires and better brakes.

@petitio_principii 2 ай бұрын

I don't think the main thing with thin tires is even the aerodynamic aspect, but something related to efficiency of energy transmission, with a smaller area, "diluting" less the force in a larger surface. I only rode a bike with very thin tires once, those that look almost like a hose, and boy, how incredibly lighter the whole thing seemed to be. At the speed I was I don't think it would be an aerodynamic effect, and even less so the weight of the tire itself, I guess it had to be some energy dissipation/focus thing. But definitely not an all-terrains thing, of course.

@@petitio_principii Yes, it's the contact surface area that matters in this regard. But yeah, the old thinner tyres sucked for various urban terrain which is the only thing I do.

They want a fortune for two tires these days. I can buy two complete bikes in riding condition for less than they want for two tires! The bike went back down into the basement.😮

@@EEVblog2 Hi Dave, I haven't got the equipment to make a video, but I will tell you what I would do it. First, screw the break adjusters in at the leavers. This should give you enough slack at the breaks to pop the cable out of the holder. Now the breaks won't interfere with the wheel. Turn the bike upside down so it is balanced on the seat and handlebars. Now you can remove the wheels without having to hold the bike up. When you put the wheels back in, it makes it easier to get the chain back on the derailleur and to seat the wheels correctly. Doing it this way, you can pressurise the tire and make sure it is seated correctly on the rim while the wheel is out of the bike.
