Alexander is back in town, and his bike is in need of help! Sure, Alexander can work on his own bike, but my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Let's see what this thing has in store for us...

Honestly guys, I had ordered something that didn't arrive on time, and so the video I was supposed to film that Friday was dead in the water! Then I remembered the state of Alex's bike, and we kind of hucked a last second video. THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE KIND!

Yes helping out a friend indeed, but when it comes to asking him for advice as a former subscriber in one of his videos Trek Roscoe he never responded to my comment once had a Gt Aggressor Pro, had to sell it without his help, and am upset about that. Yes I understand that he is busy with everything he has going on.

@Vastafari34 Жыл бұрын

DUDE! MAKE THIS A SERIES! Since you're not doing flip bike anymore as that is not as viable as it used to be, this would be a great alternative because the reason why people like flip bike so much was to actually see you building the bikes and learning through it that way, but by doing it this way we'll also learn the same thing and it's a more viable option and you can do bike rehabs for people that are in need sometimes we should be really neat, I don't know it just seems like a great opportunity for a new series!

I have a great trick for stuck on dub cranks. take the right pedal off and thread it all the way in the back of the crank with the pedal inside the rear triangle. Take a really thick or folded up rag to prevent damaging the frame and that will hold the crank in place so you can really wrench down on it. Of course be cautious doing this on carbon, but I have done it a bunch of times on my alloy hardtail with no problems whatsoever.

i used to be in the no pack camp, and i switched to a backpack to give it a shot and the bike handles so much better, way lighter and more maneuverable, less unsprung weight (your muscles suspend it) and its easier to manage the extra weight on a secured pack than past your arms reach when its on the bike.

Wolf Tooth is one of the few component companies I'll actually vouch for; legit goods(!).

@radwanderer6165 Жыл бұрын

This was such a cool and friendly move, taking care of Alex's bike! And showing us, what friendship does and how a bike works much better again after getting some attention. I recommend to first push out another 1mm those dirty pistons very gently, clean them (with cotton swabs f.e.) and lube them with 1/2 a drop of Brake fluid before pushing them back into the sealing rubber ring. This is much better than pushing them back into the rubber with all the dust from the brake pads and the dirt from the trails 🙂 You spoke about the 600ml bottle that will be necessary but did not mention the 600ml bottle with the FidLock system Alex seems to placed there 🙂

I swapped to a chainring that's two teeth smaller than what the bike came with, and it honestly makes a world of difference. It's actually pretty noticeable on the climbs and fast descents, but you don't really notice in the middle of the gear range that much.
