Nice job on the riding and documenting. How did you get back home?

@IsaacWalsh 4 күн бұрын

Thanks! I rode to my grandpas farm where I met up with family and got driven back that night. We were all planning to visit that weekend anyway so it worked out to go home with them

Love the Hammer. Used to ride that loop way back when, before bike lanes and trails. Took the stairs up (a choice of several, something else Hamilton should be appreciated for) and Beckett down (although Jolly Cut was fun too). Never in rush hour obviously. If you timed it right, between clusters of cars, you'd have that downhill adrenaline rush all to yourself. Hard left at the bottom was nervy, especially if there were any upbound traffic, pedals up and don't touch that curb. The cycling infrastructure in the Hammer is actually quite good and getting better all the time. Thanks for the memories Issac.

Sounds fun! Lately my favourite loop is to climb the Brantford Rail Trail to Dundas, and then descend back down Govenors Rd. That spits you out towards McMaster where I ride through campus and Westdale, then down to princess point and around the waterfront. Finally you can finish riding through downtown to get back wherever you started. It’s about 30km and it gives you a perfect mix of riding conditions and Hamilton scenery. Highly recommend!

Why install the skewer on the non drive side ... is it a preference?

@IsaacWalsh 29 күн бұрын

On a rear wheel, the lever would be on the non-drive side so that it doesn’t interfere with the derailleur. It’s customary to match the front wheel lever location to the same side, but it’s not required

@alphalunamare 29 күн бұрын

@@IsaacWalsh That makes sense. I'll try it :-) I just can't get my back wheel to stop wobling into the frame and I have stripped it down, changed bearings and greased everything. Here goes :-)

@IsaacWalsh 29 күн бұрын

Sounds like your wheel may need to be trued. Take it to a bike shop and see if they can straighten it out before reinstalling, if it’s wobbly that’ll make the biggest difference

@@IsaacWalsh |I will. I went out on it yesterday and I ended up on my back within 30 yards. I am not stupid but there is something big that I am missing. I carried the bike home on my shoulder cussing. I am wondering if it wasn't made for a quick release squewer. But like you say ..Bike shop is next 🙂

Hey, can you do about the rear wheel next please? because I want to change my new quick release axle but I don't know how to😢

@IsaacWalsh 29 күн бұрын

I may try that next, it’s a very similar process but requires more complicated measurements to offset the freehub width

@chazmichaelmichaels88 Ай бұрын

Great video man, thanks for the help. Do you know if this works with a front wheel that has disk brakes? I'd imagine it only requires a slightly longer QR throufh-bolt.

@IsaacWalsh Ай бұрын

Yes! process should be exactly the same as long as your new axle is the same width as your old one. The new axle will likely come with a correct length QR skewer

@mrclunk2388 2 ай бұрын

You can also put parts in a ziplock bag, in the water, with lubricants or degreaser to impregnate or clean. Particularly good for sealed bearings / hubs

@Magicmike12345 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing. How about the rear wheel? Is that a different set up. 🤔

@IsaacWalsh 2 ай бұрын

It’s the same idea, just requires a bit more measuring. Best to measure the old axle first and replicate how far it sticks out from each end. It won’t be symmetrical because of the cogs

@robertbooker3293 3 ай бұрын

@jimhansen5395 3 ай бұрын

Hey Isaac, I really admie your work here. That bike has obviously been well maintained. Just one suggestion though, you should put a light film of grease on the spindle before you insert it, so there is some form of a barrier between the spindle and bearing faces. Same with the BB threads. A thin film of grease there might save you a lot of heartache down the road.

@IsaacWalsh 3 ай бұрын

If it’s still not working you can try scuffing the shim down to bare aluminum and roughing up the surface more. It’s a good way to fine-tune the amount of friction

Hi. Thx for the video. I did a saddle replacement on my bike recently but I got a problem. When I look from above I see the bolt that holds the saddle standing out a bit on both sides. And it seems I may hit it with my legs when pedaling. Any advice on how to fix that?

@IsaacWalsh 10 ай бұрын

If it were my bike, I’d use a hack saw and carefully cut off the ends of the bolt that are sticking out. But make sure there’s still enough threads to fasted the nut to, also be careful not to damage the threads so they still work properly. Hope that helps

Love the bike design kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

I hear ya. why they never made a quick release for seat removal is beyond me. The worst is old corroded fancy aluminum ones with the tiny long allen key bolt heads. I'm on the salty east coast of Canada so aluminum gets the harsh weather and oxidizes

@IsaacWalsh Жыл бұрын

Totally, I try to keep all my bikes inside when I can, but it’s tough when most of them are decades old and still show their age regardless. I can’t imagine how bad it gets on the east coast for corrosion, I find it bad enough here in Ontario!

My best guess is the early ‘80s just based on its style and features, as well as from an old Eaton’s catalog I found that featured other “road king” models like this one, dated 1983. So I’d say it’s from roughly that era
