Kudos to the owner for bringing you a clean bike. Always felt it disrespectful to bring the mechanic a dirty bike.

Wish all bike shops and mechanics were as thorough and detailed as you are!

Respect the the owner who has practiced due diligence with this bike, and respect to your good self for yours.

OMG, I'd travel a VERY long distance to have a mechanic as diligent as you are....and I'm quite confident it wasn't just because you were filming. You obviously take pride in your work. Setting that aside, I learned a lot watching this and need to understand the workings of a bicycle a whole bunch more than I do currently. Thanks for making it!

Kudos to the owner on cleaning it but boy oh boy have bikes become more complex and expensive

Your bike mechanic skills are top-notch, and your KZfaq channel is my bike knowledge hub!

As a bike mechanic that works out of my home, huge props to you and this customer. Excellent service, one of my favorate things to do, and excellent content. I love when someone rides their bike after a full service because they have a fresh memory of how it felt before. That, "It's better than new" reaction is priceless.

My LBS are cavemen compared to what you have going on here. Well Done.

Fabulous video. So very satisfying seeing the lengths you go to for a full service. Thanks for taking the extra time to film it for us all to seeeeeeee.

Well, now I feel very inadequate! I thought I knew the basics. Love to know the cost of such a service and how often you might need one.

WOW! Since our local bike mechanic moved away, I have been hoping to find someone nearly as knowledgeable and passionate as he is...... Stumbled across this vid, and thought..... oh this guy is ace, I wonder where he is? And hoorah, Kendal is 45 mins from me. Result!

The channel is blowing up. Very much deserved, high quality videos, well done Paul and team

A true craftsman 😊👍👏👏

Tilting the bike 90 degrees for cockpit adjustments is an awesome tip. Stuff falling off when you don’t want it to can turn a 30 min home repair into a 3 hour swearfest. I imagine using a cargo strap around the seatpost to keep the fork straight and still would help as well

Love your attention to detail. Dedication and passion shines through.

That's why I prefer a 24mm axle. With a standard 6805 bearing, you use sacrificial delrin top hats between the bearing and the axle. Should anything be out of alignment, you protect the expensive items!

All that skill, knowledge and care is super impressive.

Belgian bicycle shop owners are always a bit grumpy, so I'm surprised to see how polite and joyful you are.❤

The more i watch your videos the more its my go to channel, even as someone who has bike maintenance experience there's always more to learn, great content.

That was a mesmerising video , attention to detail second to none , but the amount of time you dedicate to sorting out factory made errors is frightening im glad i only have an alloy bike with threaded bb

This is what a service is. None of this bronze, silver, gold levels crap you see with some places. With you 100% on the non-availability of SRAM brake hoses. Same with Campy as well, but Magura hoses can be used in most cases there and are easy to source. The availability of spare parts is an area where shimano trumps their rivals.

I just did the ever so fun job of cleaning my XT M770, M772, and M970 XTR drivetrain. I hadn't done this since last spring 🤨. I forgot how much better your gear shifting is when the chain and cassette are clean🤘🤘. Years ago, to clean the cassette, I would use Q-tips and alcohol swabs; they worked, but it was rather time-consuming. I started buying degreaser, but more went on the floor than on my drivetrain 😱

Very nice and thorough service! And cleaning the bike in the end that seriously is something i‘ve never seen in any other bike shop…

Fantastic video. More people who ride bikes and love bikes need to see videos like this. Thank you for this video, it really does change the world of cycling for the better.

Brilliant, informative " how it should be done" nut & bolt service......Nice one Paul, chapeau 👏

Lovely job, good to see the owner cared enough to bring the bike in clean, doesn't always happen.

For me a full service is to replace any and all sealed bearings, fully dissassemble and clean the frame of any grease to be replaced with fresh one after, if the cables are old swap them too. Complete drivetrain check, if the cassette has any wear then the chain and casette go and get replaced with fresh ones. Check pedals, spokes and i think that'd be just about it on a non-suspension bike. I don't mention brakes as it's something i check often anyways

Great to see a professional bike mechanic say that Park Tools are sometimes not worth the money and Ali Express can do some good tools.

I’m absolutely loving watching all your content, your explanations as to why your doing something and how to put it right is top class. Master at work!

11/10 job done and superb video Paul

Amazing job and so thorough. You always seem to pick up on so many things that have been missed by others.

Amazing content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I wish I worked with mechanics I could learn as much from 😔

I'm no mechanic but I feel like this is exactly what my bike needs now. 2 seasons without a proper service. Just me keeping it clean, lube, check torque, check and change chain, whatever I can manage with the tools available to me really... I'm afraid of the bill I will rack up if I take my bike to the shop for a service like this. 😅 Regardless, your community is lucky to have a bike shop like yours available to them.

Love the level of detail and cool to see how it is applied thanks

Great video. So much knowledge. This looks like more of a spa for the bicycle than a dentist's appointment which I fear can be the case in some shops. This was a type of follow-me-around-while-I-fix-the-bike-video so the close-up's was missing when you were compearing new and old at the start of the video. Thanks for the good content.

That is freaking absolute perfection.

Beautiful, what an artisan approach you have.

What a fantastic job you did.

Hands down the best video I have seen on the bike servicing. Maybe you forgot to show, but should you also check derailleur hanger for alingment during the service?

Great to watch pros at work! Thanks for sharing your experience like this - very inspirational.

Quality video! Thanks for taking the time to show and explain each step, I service my own bikes and it's great to see the gold standard!

Doing this sort of work is immensely satisfying to do yourself. It’s good quality time in the shed with your beloved and a couple of frosty beverages :)

Very therapeutic to watch! I haven’t worked as a mechanic since 2010 but still love tinkering. There are a few details I’m particularly type-a about and felt validated when I saw you are the same… Lovely

Amazing work! I am not so confident that my local bike shops are as knowledgeable, diligent and reliable as you

Great overview of going over your overhaul. Great job

Phenomenal work and great video! Keep them coming

It is so satisfying to see such good work

Outstanding workmanship. Clearly not just a job, but a lot of passion in getting things to as near perfect as possible. In my experience, it's way better to go to a bike mechanical service than a bike retailer with a mech shop out the back. I've often observed that a bike retailer will often "push" their bike mechs to prepping new stock to the point of creating a time burden on mechs then getting to bike servicing. Great presentation

Full Service Fabulously done. It makes wonder why many Bike shops are closing? Poor customer service, Lazy repairs etc..Despite some bad experiences Im not against Bike shops. To days the problem is to find a decent one you can trust !!!

A once over for me means a 8-10 hour complete tear down and clean relube , brakes ,fork ,shock pivot. Headset ,bb,dropper ,drivetrain. My ocd gets the best of me Great work.

As a dude who has been riding MTB since '87 and never taken my bike to a bike shop for any reason, I just love watching your level of mechanical skill, but even more than that is your attention to all of the little details which separates the good from the average and the elite from the good. 👍

Great vid Paul enjoyed the live chat. Customer certain to appreciate the exemplary standard of work 💪 . Nice touch with the enzyme parts washer much more user friendly than solvents. Believe origins may lay in commercial grease separators for food preparation / production in compulsory use for last 30/40 years. Biomatic enzymes digest and ‘eat’ the grease, water only makes it into the uk drainage system, 👍

Hell yeah!! More Dreamservice pleaseeeeee

You’ve only got me excited for Spring. Ordered new bar tape for both bikes and started looking at groupsets 😅 Great video and lovely job done👌

Great video as ever Paul, keep them coming.

Such a beautiful job, makes me proud to be a fan, enthusiast and srudent of your ways! It is my long term dream to own and run a bile shop that is as good as yours.

The supply issues are real. I need to change my bar tape before the spring and my right shifter hood has gotten gummy and loose. The new Dura-Ace hoods are on backorder and, despite placing an order in January, I got an email only last week informing me that it will be closer to Easter time in March before I have the hoods and my bike's cockpit gets a refresh.

Great video - useful for bike owners to see what is involved in a full service snd more involved jobs.

Nice job, as always. Greetings from Brazil!

You know your stuff, kudos to you

Green envy for your w’shop tools. Excellent care taken during your service and great tip for servicing front end at 90°

Well presented and educational.👌I was already scared away from Canyon but this has more evidence.

Awesome job on explaining all the steps snd why it took so long to get the bike back to the customer.

I worked with mechanics in the Aussie Air Force on F-18's who were less diligent than you are! Splendid workmanship and attention to detail. I recently moved to the UK and it seems your shop is at the other end of the country as I'm down South, which is a pity. I'd happily pay a premium knowing my bike was in good hands. Peace mate.

Thats a great showcase of your job. I really like it, and take inspiration. That honing tool ans tilting bike 90° is so handy, thanks. And.. thar seriously cleanest bike taken to the service i ever saw. I worked as bike mechanic, and seeing bike this clean is rare. (Now home mechanic again) Btw: like an hour befeore release of this video that same bearing remover arrived at my door.

So satisfying to watch. Amazing attention to detail

Can all the other bike mechanics out there use this as the gold standard please. I had a bb put in my specialized about 4 months ago and the guy said "I've done this so long I don't need a torque wrenching got home and torqued it. it was nearly 20nm out of spec. Love your videos chap,pleasure to watch a pro who cares about the bikes.

Canyon's Mountain bikes look Great. When I heard they were going to start making Titanium frames🤘🤘

100% agreeing with off the peg bleed kits, the manafacturers own are more than often the best, although I have had an issue with the tektro ones being horrible to use, but I've made my own that seal far better.

great video! always hard to get this much info in such a short time, feel it was a good balance of explanations and getting to the point!

This is what a bike shop should do, go above and beyond to make sure that every bike leaving is in perfect condition. Obviously this doesn't always align with what the customer wants but if the customer wants iy perfect it should be.

Very informative content by a knowledgeable mechanic. Love it!

I love this type of video and learn a lot of very useful things. I'll still take my bike to the mechanic for everything but the day to day maintenance but at least I will have a better idea what the mechanic is talking about after having watched videos like this. Please do more 😄

I rode a bike to my first 2 jobs when I was 16-18. Then I bought a car and never cycled again. I am 54 now. KZfaq recommended another of your videos and I immediately followed up with this. It’s a very interesting new world of repair for me and you have a new subscriber, but can you consider investing in a macro lens to show close ups of wear and damage, as a lot of what’s been shown so far isn’t that clear.

That kind of service must be pricy, but the level of quality is more than impressive !

I really should buy one of the wera wrenches..

I love the Ali express BB removal tool. One of my best tools in all honesty.

Great content. KZfaq at its best.

Great video and highlights that on first impressions, a perfectly well maintained bike can reveal a whole host of problems when looked at properly! 🛠👍 I would recommend using the Silca Hirobel workstand clamp to help protect the customer's valuable carbon seatpost and frame. It's particularly supportive when spinning the bike upside down to allow access to hidden areas, also when applying bar tape. It's not cheap, but I find it works well, provides great peace of mind, and is definitely worth considering for a professional workshop like yours. Malc's Bikes Morecambe

Hi I loved the video, very nice made! I have a tip for you: The SuperB TB-19003 Pressfit Inner Bearing Tool works with all standard inner bearings: BB 86/90/92 (24 mm), BB30 (30 mm), SRAM GXP (22/24 mm), DUB (29 mm) And it works very well, you should try it, then you will have more space for other great tools👌👍😉

Gonna buy my next bike from this cat. I live in the southern US. 😊

I think this vid was pretty epic 😊

Just discovered this video and very professional. Another subscriber added.

Great video! So interesting and thorough, yet easily understood. Great work, guys! 🎉

Excellent service

Getting parts quicker , expedited shipping . This is what I do . Other bicycle shops were buying parts off me during COVID 19 .

Excellent and detailed information for every aspect of the work carried out, just a couple of queries: > Approximately, how many miles had the owner ridden since the previous service? > The cost of everything that's been done? > What kind of service interval would this amount of TLC be required? Hopefully, everything is cost effective, or would you recommend a more robust make/model/set up Cheers 👍🏼

PAUL, great video...the percentage of shops that one has the knowledge and skill and then use it is very small i think...Im thinking its an english thing,,most F1 engineers are english..most shops have a 16 year old pounding out BB with a screwdriver!! How about a chain of stores near my house?😀

Cheers. Thanks for showing us all that.

Great video. I wish I lived a bit nearer to you, I'd be down there in a flash to get my 2013 bike back to good as new.

Top mechanic 👌

3:28 Cane Creek preload ring, nice upgrade, plastic preloader is silly, this one does the job properly.

Would like to see more of this content on a wide range of bikes and I would be interested in knowing hours spent and cost

Good to know it's not just me, that shops are having trouble too. I've been on backorder for SRAM double compression brake hose since December. 🤬

Fair play half considering the four and half hour drive from Cardiff to get my eeb serviced! 😂

DT Swiss still producing 26/27mm external rim widths - need to move with the times. Roval Rapides are 30/35.

always keep old bar tape for chain stay wrapping/protection; total flex to have Silca down there.

MAPDEC CYCLE ENGINEERING at its best first class work to F1 standards NONE better thank you loved the video.

Full service for me is a complete bike strip down, clean every part, new cables, re-grease, new bar tape, service wheels, new tires, and reassemble. But im not running a business, so time isn't money.

Great job. Given the hours you must have put in and the parts you had to replace, I dare say it was an expensive service.
