As a beginner rider this vid really helped me. So thank you👏🙂

Great video Tom, but the music is too loud

I’ve just finished my coffee and I’m about to head out and do this on two bikes. I might share this with my son so I only need to do one bike lol

A great bloke who don’t waste money on crap to clean his bike,I washed push bikes cars and motorbikes for yrs and yrs with fairy liquid, good on ya , Shane uk 🇬🇧

I sometimes have to go to a “do it yourself” car wash where you have to use pressure washers. But I don’t pull the trigger for the full pressure, I just use it’s base pressure which doesn’t even hurt my hand from upclose

So far the most informative video I've managed to find, and even though I know how to service my bike still watched the whole vid, awesome mate

As a 40ys old women on a E Bike I may not be your average viewer, but your video helped me a lot. 🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing your bike knowledge with us in such a concise easy-to-understand Style. Your explanation of how to index the derailleur was perfect! .. I've always had a little trouble with that but now my gears are dialed thanks man!

Thanks Tom you definitely give us viewers a lot of help whether it's how to's or simple bike maintenance THANKYOU!

Iv been using a pressure washer to clean all my bikes for 16years now and iv never had any problems with bearings

You have just made a vid with all the tutorials u accually need 👌🏼👌🏼

Good video Tom, Im having the gearing issue myself so will try this. Excellent, more videos like this would be awesome. Keep up the good work.

Thankyou very informative, it’s important to do these things after every few rides and definitely wash after every muddy ride

I know this is an old video but if you have a problem with bolts coming loose when using regular loctite, try the Loctite Tape. It applies like pipe tape/teflon tape. Holds way better, doesn't harden or break apart from vibration.

Great video, very thorough explanations. One thing I might add myself is using a torque wrench whenever it's required, as it's the safest way to tighten certain bolts making sure you avoid damaging your components/frame

I just bought a used bike so I need to learning everything and check it over really well. Awesome video.

This is the perfect video to teach my kids how to work on their bikes :-) it's straight to the point, thank you for posting :-)

Came across this video because I had this really irritating noise coming from the rear. Took it to the bike shop and they thought it might be a small rock in the disc break and that it would work itself out. Really didn’t think it was from the break. Watched your video and you brought up the presta valve! BOOM that is what it was!!! Tightened it up and noise gone. Thanks so much for the idea!

I´m really bad at indexing gears and I just recently found out you could adjust them at the shifter. Felt like a genius. And really stupid at the same time :D

Great vid pal 2nd vid of yours I have watched and really enjoy them keep it up bro 🤘

Good video. I swear I do as much maintenance as I do riding in the winter. Gotta be done though. 🤘🏻

Thanks a lot for the run-thru. I knew most of it but some bits were still new so I've learned something. Need to stop being lazy and get into a routine of cleaning the bike and doing the maintenance.

I just started riding and I rly learned a lot with this video. Thank you

Great basic and simple advice given Tom to keep things sweet 👍

Good day Tom! I wish i could have a bike like yours. That's so nice. Mine is an old model of Giant. I have not even upgraded all its parts. Keep it up!

Great helpful video brother! I just found this! I'm going to my garage and tune up my hardtail before I hit the trails! Cheers from Texas🤘

Having just bought my wife and I bikes since our young kids are gravitating to the sport it scares me to think of what the next video is. I thought the basic video would be wash it off, degrease the chain, grease the chain. At this point in the video I just cranked myself. I either need to learn how to do this ASAP or my mechanic bills are gonna be outta control. Thank u so much!!!

This is sick and thanks for all the tips👍 I’ll check my bike over tomorrow.

Great, comprehensive and to the point video. Thanks a lot !

Well thought out and great for a beginner .. nice one. Quick tip on brakes .. it’s no longer to just top up a Shimano system BUT if you do then beware of going all the way through pads (and bleeding is something EVERYONE should be able do... especially people who are busy as who has the time to take the bike to a shop when you could be riding? ) .. the other thing is when you do fit new pads you’ll need to let out some fluid... Switching cables is also a cheap way to get/keep a new bike feel... a new inner takes 2 mins on top of indexing and flushing the outer with WD40 or better still a Teflon spray will get the crap out.. the genuine optislick (Shimano) is great but expensive.. I just buy cheaper Teflon inners and 10 go reasonably quickly with droppers and 1x across a few bikes... outer I buy jagwire in 10m lengths as it’s way cheaper .. you only need to cut what you use.. If the frame linkage keeps working free it’s worth checking bearings and bushes... (but some frames it just happens anyway... non of mine but apparently a known thing on a Foxy. ) Washing ... If it’s really filthy I usually start upside down (on grass to protect the controls) otherwise it all runs down later...then put it the right way up once the crud under the saddle and downtube is gone.

Finally, a like minded Pro! Never used anything other than washing up liquid, a sponge, a toothbrush and the dustpan brush, with a bucket of warm water! Air dry it (and some kitchen towel) and spray WD40 (or other oil) on it - just not the brakes! Just seen though, 3 years ago! Good ole KZfaq recommendations!

Great video man, I appreciated it. Straight and to the point.

Great video, I found it helpful for servicing my bike!

Very excellent! I learned a lot. Your music could be quieter and have more variety, but that's a minor point. Thank you! me and my (older) mt bike are grateful!

And by the way Mr. Cardy IMHO your knowledge shared here is pro level - Cheers!

Alright boys and girls he got it........ loud music and true the back wheel,check.

I'm impressed someone else notice that you back wheel needed turning! 😃 A man of your capabilities probably take about 30 sec

Bookmarked and subscribed. Awesome video very informative and well put. Thanks for the time and effort

That scratch on the Kashima coating brakes my heart! 💔 Great video though Tom. Love your tutorials!

Great video, very easy to follow and understand your instructions.

Well done. Simple, clean presentation. Very informative.

Use some brake cleaner on the threads of that bolt for your rear shock to make sure it's nice and clean before putting the loctite on

Thanks, I really need this video after i bought the Polygon premier 4

Thanks Tom great vid I well enjoyed that 👍 respect ✊ bud.

That derailleur tip was effing brilliant

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks !

Thank you Tom, some great information, much appreciated. 👍👍👍

Tom i just subscribed and just started MTB Thank you for the tips. I'm a sound engineer one tip for you is to level your music with your vocals Geez that music is LOUD

just getting back into the game, great vid man cheers !

I'm glad I watched this video, having just recently blasted my bike with a pressure-washer. Won't do that again, then.

It's full deck in 11 minutes! Respect, Tom! =)

Awesome help for noobs like me man, love it! 👌

Just bought my first bike since I was in my teens, I’m now 30. Went for a ORBEA Onna 29 50, not had chance to go out on it properly yet so thought I’d check what I needed to do to keep it in top condition, never realised how much I’d need to be doing 😂 this is a great video, but I’m so worried of causing damage just doing the simplest of maintenance 😆

Excellent video, Tom! Cheers.

Made me sub ♥️ i'm looking for a way to care about my basic bike and this is just the video I need. Thank you

Thanks Tom, appreciate you sharing.

thank you Tom for exact explanation step by step 👍👍😉

Great Fox hat! Best shocks. Have upgraded Fox 2.0 shocks on my '19 Ranger XLT FX4. Was good stock now its better. Ride safe! #MTB

Just got a new bike, this helps a lot. Thanks

Fantastic! Love it. Thank you.

No thumbs down says it all! At last a real world quick bike maintenance vid! Nice one Tom

Awesome vid Tom cheers Mate.

Super clear stuff thnx dude✌️✌️✌️

Oh yeah great video definitely gonna save this but damn this all like rocket science to me, hopefully things will swish up soon

Best mtb instructional vids! 👍

You might wanna true that back wheel mate :)

I'll give this a thumbs-up. Nice vid.

Thanks Tom. Very Helpful!

Great tips man, Thanks!

Awesome cards just a quicky what psi do you run your tyres on for your riding do you prefer harder or softer psi bro epic video as usual 🤘

Maybe you should’ve mentioned adjusting/checking your spokes. Great video Tom.

Good video and very well explained

zero dislikes, let's keep it up that way!! (: Edit:Oh thanks for all the likes and we made it.

Sind it Tom Cardy! Thanks for the good info

Extremely helpful, thank you! Now off to the dollar store to buy a toilet cleaning brush!

Really enjoyable, Thanks!

Great video, thanks.

8:22 Timestamp for myself

Really good video, thank you!

Great video , thanks bro 👍

amazing as always

I know this video since he posted it. Every time i see my bike muddy it reminds me of this video. And this video reminds me of how much money i need to invest in my bike🤧💀

Very helpful thanks for the tips

Thank you. This is really useful info. Your presentation was excellent. That's the best explanation of indexing the gears I've seen. One question. Is it better to remove the caliper when adjusting the brakes?I do a similar method but I loosen the bolts. Then I clamp the brakes down on the disc pretty tight. Then I try to evenly tighten the bolts. it seems to work ok sometimes a very small adjust to get out a slight disc rub. I was curious to get your take on that? Thanks agian. I'm gonna go work on my bike right now!

Brother that was a fucking brilliant video .. so much information mate .., thanks again !!

How you tuned gears is the best way to do it unlike park tools video that makes it look way harder than it actually is

Tried the hack with the brakes.It's alot better now.👍

Well done Cardy Good Work

You sounded like a true pro to me!

Great video Tom.

Thanks for a great video

Helpful, thanks!

whoa, your bike is just awesome bro... i really have fallen for it

Great video! You got such a sick bike😍

Thanks for the tips and advice. With your back wheel do you try and use the spoke to straighten it or make all the tensions equal?

That was well done. Thanks.

awesome video mate!!!!

Thank you for this!!

Much love mate

Cool vid, keep it up! The music segment between the talking bits is quite loud, had to keep changing the volume 😕
