Lmaooo

What's maintenance?(I do mountain biking)

happend to me too many times

Nothing angers me more

No prob they should have been thrown away. Never reuse the bearings because the old ones are scrap metal. Especially these as they are corroded in addition to being not spherical. Used bearings are ellipsoidal.

Haha - so true!

One time we tried to take off a pedal in a carpark, and uh it really rolled off into oblivion. Shitty plastic pedal that couldn't be removed normally

yas

I thought they were meant to spin at 500mph😅

Unfortunately spinning under load is important

​@@jiaan100you calling OP fat?

Use spray grease then

​@JJ-jn5lr I understand where you are coming from. However, there is a few things I notice (as a bike mechanic) that could help. 1. There is no way to adjust hydraulic brakes like you do a cable brake. You can bleed them (usually makes them more responsive, but there is no adjusting). 2. Unless you have all the tools and knowledge to work on said brakes, do NOT try a bleed yourself. Your brakes won't work how they should and it's dangerous. 3. The crank falling off sucks but I've had it happen MANY times, on stuff I installed properly following all procedures and steps. It happens. It sucks. But sometimes it's not the installers fault (can be a host of other things, stripped bottom bracket is a common one, wrong thread pitch is another). Most places do their best to get you the best results possible, however I do suggest a true bike shop (only does bikes) vs a box store as they do not have properly trained mechanics. Hope this helps with your struggles

​@@logancole32 I've never worked on bike brakes before, but I'm curious. Are hydraulic bike brakes bled in the same way that car brakes are?

Yeah fr- it's just gonna get stolen by some crackhead

Gotta keep them in good condition and well lubricated

bruh

Preach

Keep em clean dont want them getting dirty thats how problems start.

At first I didn't get the joke😂

Words to live by

😂

It's more of am instinct than skill

On a $10 part? We'll see about that

Can I watch?

perdro perdo beat, you can imagine it, no need to add it at this point ;)

Electronic dance music music

yup

who actually unironically enjoys asmr here

It's usually the EDM that doesn't belong in these vids that they use too, I love EDM and it's music production is like a swiss army knife, u can get any vibe out of it and most noises.

You mean he takes care of his shaft and balls better than you take care of yours? 😂😂😂

I felt that

I see no problem, thats how you do it on semi truck joints as well

Keep it simple, no need to do all this bullshit

If you keep greasing regularly the grime inside is pressed out over time. Same with any kind of hand tool or electric tool.

Seriously wears the bearing buddies for bikes 😆

With how dry it sounded, it probably needed a good cleaning and reset. Could have been lost bearings or damage. But otherwise, yes, just pack grease.

Or just the same Number 2 grease. It works for anti seize, electrical connections, and even keeping power tools working way longer than you’d ever expect.

@@jrh2015 oh jeremy You are a hoot😂

Lithium grease is acceptable .

They make aluminum anti seize.

your not going to get galvanic corrosion in that application

The wife complained about all the toilet paper I used so I modified the holder with a grease zerk.

Yup! I still have some old Sun Tour Greasegaurd XC Pro pedals, also 2 Greaseguard headsets. They licensed the tech from WTB. I also machined zerks into my old Raleigh cottered BB. It's my rain bike built in the '70s. Cranks still spin smooth after 20 winters of hard use. But the seat tube is probably 1/2 filled with grease after pumping it in there for years!

@@rollinrat4850 Those xcpro pedals were so sweet. I make a point of stopping in small bike shops in small towns hoping for nos XCpro and XCpro comp stuff.

@@mikegilbert5434 I've been fiddling with bikes for quite a long time. We used our road bikes off-road before MTBs existed. Couldn't resist exploring as a kid. Now I wrench in a high end shop for fun in my retirement. People throw away all sorts of barely used 'old junk', ALL in the name of the mighty 'upgrade'. It's a great little side benefit to my job. A customer even gave me my custom dream frame from the '70s. An Albert Eisentraut frame. I'm restoring it. Never thought I'd get one of those! I repurpose anything I can. Cycling should be affordable, simple and realiable..... (not to mention) it's supposedly a freakin 'green sport'!!

You must ride 5 times a year

Yeah exactly, so much more satisfying than all this work.

Not everyone can do that

​@@YTT718 lol, nowadays you can get a brand new of pedals for $25. Literally cut back on food for a few weeks and its paid for.

​@@iwontreplybacklol7481few weeks? Some places its skip one trip to the fast food joint one time lol

Ya'll rich?

Maybe he put the wrong grease in.

not supposed to spin that much its a racing bike

Unloaded will always spin better dry since there's no grease and suction to interfere. Doesn't mean it'll protect anything at all though. That's why all those unloaded ceramic bottom bracket spin tests are nonsense.

​@@Vermonsteredyes!! Thank you!! I couldn't have said it better. Once saw a railway bearing that barely spun when greased, but it would outlast an ungreased one by a long shot, obviously. Same principal applies to this pedal here (to the original commenter)

Lasts longer this way.

Not if you account for the time you spend working so you can buy new pedals! Time really is money! :)

​@@jamesgizassonyeah, all these guys in the comments seems to have the money to spare.

@@norbertnagy5514 Cycling, camping, offroading... (sigh). Everything I grew up doing has become an elitist activity except one: Fixing my own car is still cheap fun! :D

@@jamesgizasson yeah, well im just saying people here keep saying they dont fix something till it falls of, they seem both cheap and rich at the same time.

@@norbertnagy5514 Makes sense. I learned to fix my stuff because I couldn't afford to just buy new ones. Seems like a lost art now, and I'm only 35. X3

Yeah it still didn't sound good after he reassembled

At the very least the assembly will have a longer service life so long as that lubrication layer is not breached.

Yup, damage was already done, but a good maintenance tutorial to follow before it gets to all out bearing failure

I don't think it makes much difference also when he put it back together it Drew and some of the slack from the wear on the bearing races

Cartridge bearing pedals or I won't recommend them .

A film that never ceases to give

These unlubricated bearings will not stand, man.

It's a reason not i'm a curious

Same

Been there done that many times with those peg pedals as well as bear claw.

being barefoot and this is the only bike left

I remember whem i used to bmx with those old sharp metal ones, hard to slip off but you better hope you dont

They're nice pedals, last a long time with maintenance

Cup and coan bearings. Super serviceable and reliable.

​@@jesmondo5785 much better than the nylon bearing crap that comes in all the new pedals, including the ones they claim are sealed. They last a month

@@paule4204agreed. In areas like pedals & headsets I don't see why cup & cone can't be the norm. They get minimal work and should be serviceable and not just replace in 6-12 months.

Finally someone in the comments with common sense

Right?!

Sealed bearings do eventually wear out but you can add more grease with a very thin needle. Poke it right in the middle of the seal and cover the hole with super glue.

Sealed bearings are weak against non axial forces, can you confirm/disagree?

​@@wendelmedeiros2217 You can get sealed angular contact bearings. Either way, the ease of maintenance on a sealed bearing setup is worth it 1000x.

The sealed bearings are the best, I put some really nice tapered bearings on my bike and I have absolutely no complaints with it at all

​@Tay_69 tapered bearing?

*Insert sarcastic laughter here*

The fact there are 33 other mouth breathers out there that liked your comment is not good for the sake of comedies future.

Building it right is very different then building it light, and cool and shit.

Would have to use it to incur wear

I was just thinking. I've had the same petals for like 8 years and haven't had to do this lol.

maybe you also haven't ridden in 22 years hehe

sometimes bearings last forever sometimes not. you’re an engineer you should know that.

I like how you didn’t say now I know how the grease my pedal. I’m not planning on doing it either 😂

@@YogiTheBearMan these are like 15 bucks new, way too much work 😂

@@ipsojure2137 or virtually free to maintain, it takes like 10 min to do. unless you are getting paid like 100 an hour, and that does not factor in the time to go get them from the store. it makes zero sense to buy new for the sake of greasing bearings.

Trust me if you start servicing them they will last much longer

Shimano é muito resistente tenho uma catraca shimano a 10 anos e ela funciona como nova até hoje

So you've ridden for 2k miles in 8 years?

Yup, time is not the driver here. Mileage is it. How many in these 8 years?

@@Bruce73X probably 10-12 thousand?

You want it to spin without scraping, not necessarily faster.

@@marcusborderlands6177 it was clearly better before,if it is spinning that fast to begin with it doesn't need grease. You're not gonna get a faster rotation with more grease it clearly didn't need it and slowed it down when he added it so therefore it was totally fine from the jump...if that pedal didn't turn or was stuck then you add grease 🤦🏻

Dry bearings has less grease friction. Dry bearing means metal on metal though. So what's worse? Metal on metal creating a pit in the shaft because it worse away? Or a small drag of grease that helps everything stay lubricated and last longer? This us just a stupid ass question. Edit to make it more simple for you: Oil in an engine creates drag, Do you remove the oil because it causes drag and lowers your performance?

He needs the pedal to spin well with most of his bodyweight on it, not to spin well with no load. That's why the grease seems to hurt but actually helps.

you grease them to reduce metal on metal wear, fast rotation isnt what you want..@@sloppymcfloppy6925

you dont have to take everything out like our little overachiever here. I also dont think that pedals need grease in the first place, idk what grease does but my pedals still work like new and I havent put a single bit of grease on them

You can use motor oil and a syringe with a bent needle to reach almost any place. Only an idiot will use grease on a part that is sealed with very little room for contamination. Grease provides highest protection from contamination but nothin else.On the rear axle for example i take out the wheel and drip on one side and flush it on the other. It's not a car ... 10 ml is more then enough to flush out contaminants from the axle and have that oil spin with no viscosity ... give it a push and it spins forever.Btw for most parts the oil comes out clean on the other side after only couple of drops. Only the first few drops are black. Turn it while dripping to be sure it's cleaning the part inside

@@SkoolConnor They probably still have grease in your pedals then if they are still working as expected. that, or you have closed bearings. Anyway, the grease is a lubricant, it prevents the ball bearings from wearing down over time, in doing so. your balls and the race in which the balls reside will become looser leading to a rougher ride. or rattling. Your wheels will also have similar races and bearings. they too need greasing from time to time. but that really depends on how much you ride. I ride back and forth to work everyday, in rain shine snow. and ice. on road and muddy/ sandy dirt. if i didn't do maintenance my bike would be in a very sorry state.

@@MAILER-DAEMON The society has gone downhill for sure to think that a bearing will fail before grease does, I am not trying to judge you but I am not OK with your mindset of no greasing...even humans need grease...sometimes.

@@MAILER-DAEMONnon greaseable u joints are stronger too. I’d use nothing less on a wheeler.

Я люблю что все работало долго и четко,надёжно. хлам менять один на другой скучно !

@@anatol981 I would say the original pedals were rubbish to begin with... no sealed bearings.

Yeah this is stupid why isnt it a replaceable bearing

Basically end all existence on earth instantaneously especially the poor kitties who all first spontaneously combust horribly

@@WackadoodleMalarkey and still did it. 🤣

Yea fr, I've seen a few comments like this and hate in the answers of those comments but I had this exact shit happen to me. I had copper paste from the factory in my hub and a bit of street salt in the winter killed it.

It's used on sparkplugs in Aluminum Head Engines every day of the week.

@@jamesglenn520 because its cheaper than alu specific paste and cars are much more encapsulated than bikes. In exposed positions like this it really is ass. Street salt or if you live close to the ocean the air galvanises the shit out of your alu parts if you use copper paste.

That’s how I respond when someone asks why I poured $2k into a $900 BMW motorcycle. I would rather keep it on the road then contribute to the wrecking yard

​@@Jmort93 That's why BMW stands for bring more wallets

The expensive stuff has to get serviced too. People buy 10k bikes then never maintain them and wonder why they feel bad a year later

Almost every pedal got those balls inside

​@@bobomomo23 yeah so true they don't maintain their stuff here in india everyone think geared. Cycles are not successful in terms of riding reason mostly of them dont service thier bikes on thier own

@@droliann a good sealed bearing set doesnt have them all loose though.

These pedals are cheap…

pay enough and you get needle bearings, Imo best type of bearings for a bicycle pedal

@@-joo3033Usually only found in Shimano pedals.

@@jimmyhor78 Pinnd also has them, Not sure how many others.

You dont need one for bike repair

@@albinbunjaku9314 not for a repair, but it's all these little processes that make up a full rebuild of a bike, and that's something I do often. When I say nice workshop I moreso mean a place with enough room to move around the bike while it's on the stand.

@@revvilo its a nice hobby 👍 being also creative with designs

Guess you never rode through water and let the bike sit up for a while. Aluminum, copper, and inevitably contaminated road water makes a corrosive battery which rots the metals. The only way you haven't had a problem with that is you must have never rode it in the rain or on a beach or such.

@@southernflatland 365 days a year in Wisconsin for decades always came off no matter how long I left them on. Had plenty of poorly greased customers bikes on the other hand.

use to have old Shimano Deore XT pedals bear paws style with toe clips and i use to service them like that and they were indestructible.

Cooper antiseize is safe for aluminum. Read the bottle.

I have only seen copper anti-seize recommended for titanium.

Copper anti seize is formulated to prevent corrosion between steal and aluminum too. Otherwise automobile mechanics wouldn't use it on spark plugs in an aluminum head. This stuff has worked for half a century I don't think it is going to suddenly stop working. I personally know it still works because the pedals will come off my winter bike 20 years later. Can always remove the BB cups from the Cannondales that we built in the eighties and used the copper anti size on . Yeah those came in two boxes ,one for the frame and fork , the other for the rest of the bike. If every bike came that way they would all be better built. That's also why I put plenty of grease in a bearing so I can get away with leaving a pair of pedals on the bike for 20 years also why I only use the best calcium based grease for open bearings like this. The lithium stuff is useless in saltwater with a non sealed bearing.

It’s a bike pedal, not a 6000 rpm transmission bearing!

​@@SuzukiKid400same concept

It’s not entirely about resistance - little resistance when rotating pedals is a sign that the grease needs to be reapplied. When pedals are left for a long time without grease the bearings can be crushed or the pedal can break from the spindle. Slower spinning pedals makes little to no real difference when riding.

It did cus it had no grease

The greased pedal should have lower resistance under heavy load tho

He would kill me if I told him I spray my chain with lanolin instead of the proper oiling procedure 😀

Shame not near me, I got basically all tools needed, haven't got greatest wheel tru stand though but bike project I go to has, yes technically I am an unqualified mechanic that learnt it all from videos and doing to my own bike, no wheels I use at moment are ones I not built myself

All you need is a socket wrench and a hex key

@@iddra1868 true and a bit of knowledge, forgot if same thread each side or they reverse thread

@@mlee6050 The non drive side pedal is reverse threaded. Of course you'll also need grease, degreaser, and anti seize because the crank arm is usually aluminium and the axle is steel.

@@iddra1868 I have basically all tools for a bike as build my wheels and rest myself, just maybe 3 bike project have that I don't, my grease was nice until torque wrench handle broke through the lid when I dropped it lol And thanks, I try to remember
