Check wheels and bottom bracket for looseness, check the chain for stretch, check the hub and chainrings for wear. Check wheels for true and round and dish. Check pedals for too loose or too tight

Overall good tips, maybe one to add is to clean the chain with someting like wd-40 before lubing. In my experience 75% of bad shifting drivetrains come because of inflexible chains which sometimes appear clean but are just too sticky.

I wonder why people use a disc truing fork 😂 i just take off the disc put it in a flat wooden surface and hammer it with a mallet till the thing cries "I'm straight I'm straight" before i install it again. I may be a little crazy but i would also rotate the disc on a flat surface with a filling tool placed on top to make sure the disc is flat or even by it's edges and even just use a heat blower to burn off whatever invisible film you may not be able to see. I do similar for brake pads when giving a through clean, slight filling and heat blowing.

I've been taught to center the calipers (either disc or rim) by unscrewing them until they are loose, then pressing on the lever, so that the pads are pressing on the disc (and thus are centered) then tightening again.

Depends on the problem. If your pistons aren’t clean you’ll just be trying to compensate for a stuck piston that way. You should be able to align the caliper itself to achieve even piston extension if they’re moving freely. The piston position can be way out if you just squeeze the levers to center it

Just like what @@bchearne said. I always did the lever trick, but had scenarios where brake pads were worn out at one side, later found that the piston needed to be cleaned, not that the caliper needed to be moved.

@randymaclean2707 5 ай бұрын
When adjusting a caliper, you can loosen the bolts, then pull on the brake lever, and retighten the bolts while the brake is firmly engaged. The caliper will center perfectly on the disc leaving your brake well-aligned. (This is only for hydraulic brakes that clamp the pad to the disc from both sides. Mechanical brakes that squeeze only one side will need to be carefully aligned as in your video.)

My barrel adjust is on the deraileur. I shift to the lowest gear, turn the adjuster "too far" then shift to 2nd, (Then it should be still in 1st) then loosen the adjuster on a stand while peddling and wait for it to go into 2nd.

I am absolutely horrible at adjusting gears and derailleurs but one thing I have learned is you can get get different results from adjusting your barrel adjustor on a bike stand and doing it while riding. I personally believe it's better to do it while riding because you are putting stress and pressure on the chain, crank, cassette, and cable so your adjustment will actually hold. But I've found that when adjusting on a bike stand that it will be fine on the bike stand but then once I get on the bike and ride it the adjustment was off. But then again as i mentioned I REALLY suck at adjusting gears, lol.

Great video. As someone who has used torque wrenches all of my professional life, recommend only using them for bolt-on torquing operations to make sue they stay within calibration. Torque wrenches are generally made to go in one direction, and using them in reverse can cause their torque settings to drift.

Great video for the basics. Being able to sort disk caliper / pad rub on the trail is an essential skill. But it's also worthy to check back at base that the caliper is centred over the disc. Generally this is easy as most calipers comprise 2 halves bolted together, so the joining face should align with the disc. If not, this may indicate stiction of 1 piston (or piston set) due to disk residue or grit build up around the exposed part of the piston. A good clean of the assembly with the pads removed will usually sort this to new. Cleaning the piston actually involves a bit more work in terms of actuating the brakes to expose more surface, but beware not to pop a piston and remember to push the pistons back carefully with a strong plastic lever (be especially careful levering ceramic pistons).

Good video. You don't mention how to ensure the headset isn't too tight. I pick up the bike from the saddle nose, allowing the front wheel to hang with the steerer tube roughly vertical and swing the wheel (or handlebars) to one side and let go. The front end should smoothly swing back to center with an oscillation or two. If it can't, loosen pinch bolts, loosen the top bolt an eighth of a turn or so. Retorque the pinch bolts and repeat checks. You can also check by riding hands off. If you crash right away it was too tight.

For the caliper alignment issue, you can also remove the brake pads from the caliper and give a little bit more tension to your pad spring that hold the pads in place, it's made of stainless steel. Just pull it appart gently in order to make the opening a bit wider, then put back your pads in the caliper. The pads will now have a little bit more facility to come back closer to the pistons than before, therefore clearing your brake disc more easy.

10:29 if your caliper gets out of whack you should clean the pistons before you realign it. It’s probably gone wonky because the pistons are sticking a bit and the problem will just recur if you don’t take the time to get the grit off the pistons

Measuring your fork's/damper's travel with a ruler might not be a good idea. My 160mm Fox 36 stanchions measure 170mm from seal to crown and my Float X measures 65mm even though it's 60mm. Same with my 140mm X-Fusion Sweep Boost, it's 150mm seal to crown. Check the manufacturer website for information if you're unsure what travel is your suspension. Fox for example offers an easy to use tool where you put the serial number of your fork/damper and it gives you the exact specification as well as set up and service manuals.

In the case of recent canyon bikes, the issue is the plastic headset, the only way to actually get rid of issues with it (lose, squeaky, etc) is to replace plastic spacers with metal ones and replace the top cap with a metal one. It is a travesty that canyon still ships that piece of garbage of a headset and gets away with it

Oh it's easy enough to do. I've eeen this happen to a few folks who somehow didn't have enough headset spacers and they kept tightening the headset screw. In fact, if I have to remove a starnut (installing EDC multitool) and the starnut is close to the top of the head tube, instead of pounding it to the bottom, I use a bunch of headset spacers and the screw to tighten it out the top.
@BlueGoose29
@BlueGoose29 5 ай бұрын
edit: ...the "bearing seals" would crush... ... if a star nut can pull UP that easily, then it's either installed wrong (bent) or something is out of tolerance, like the nut itself or the fork. In some cases they can be pushed through the bottom for removal, but not all fork steertubes are wide enough to let this happen

3:04 thats actually WRONG You adjust the barrel adjuster 1 maybe 2 clicks, THEN you shift one gear back and one gear forward. If done correctly you will need less total clicks on the barrel adjuster to go into bigger gear when shifting. Most people go too far on the adjustment because they dont test the shifting and simply "wait" until it automatically shifts one gear up while adjusting.
