Bicycle riding-racing-repairing 101 plus a lot extra! I've been riding, racing and working in the bicycle industry for 40+ years. I'm a USAC category 1 road racer and daily bicycle commuter. I like tools, making tools, working on and modifying things, problem solving, creating, bicycles, hot rods, metal fabrication, welding, woodworking, building and making furniture and anything else that seems interesting, WHEW! I also like making videos about all this stuff, and have different playlists for most of these topics. I'm a bicycle mechanic by trade, but I've learned many a task on RU-vid, and feel like it's only fair to pay it forward with the content I'm knowledgeable about or still just learning as well..

Thanks for sharing this tip. It worked perfectly for me ... once I figured out the one thing you did but didn't say - the quick link MUST be above the chainstay. It's obvious once you think about it, but if you're dumb (like me), you'll smack the pedal with the quick link below the chainstay a few times before you figure it out. LOL.
@JB I was so happy when my football team got this dude cause I very much remember this game 1st Monday night game or second after school had started back for us and we fellas always talk about sports
I needed to pump my shrader tires as they were deflating. I pumped the front to max and then the back. 3 days later the back tube is completely flat and no longer wants to pump and doesn't seem like the nipple thing is holding pressure. Did I break the tube?
Watching this video 2 weeks after giving up on that crappy technology and embacing the one I have on my seatpost. These guts have 8 pieces and 16 ways to mount them incorrectly. And, after all the trouble, the saddle's nose will wiggle unless you had the luck of buying some better quality product.
Got stuck in high chain ring and this is my first vid, glad to see others had some luck. Id rather keep a 1991 group set shifting butter smooth in 2024 than to buy new. Ty!
Hello, great video! I’m interested in buying this bed, but I see it can be purchased with two different slatted bed bases (Luröy and Lönset). I noticed you have the Lönset in the video. Would you recommend it? Also, could you let me know what type of mattress you used? There are many options at IKEA, and I’d like to get an idea. Thanks a lot! 😊
Thanks! We originally planned on going with the Luroy slats, but IKEA was out of stock when we purchased the bed frame. The Lonset is a bit more expensive, but we’re happy with it. We went with a local company in Colorado called Bella Sera that makes mattresses from organic materials. We got the Nove 3 model. They’re pretty heavy and somewhat pricey, but we love it! We layed on/tested out lots of different options, which is what I’d suggest. We’re still very happy with the bed overall though!
You Tube will not let me view this video stating I have an ad blocker which I do not have. Even if I click allow ads it still will not allow me to view.
Presta valves have there place.....like for dudes in spandex. Schrader valve is still king, drilled out every mtb rim to fit them. Idk why the big switch to presta on mtb.
Mostly tubeless. If you're a recreational rider who rides once or twice a month, and you don't have a decent pump, Schrader valves are the way to go. If you ride a lot more often, and in more technical terrain, Presta valves are simpler, don't clog up with sealant due to a less restricted air chamber (this is the biggest reason on MTB's), and make for a stronger rim. Make sense?
Awesome videos, excellent job in explaining the project and the cut list was very helpful. I actually got mine all cut out today going to put it together tomorrow. Thank you for an awesome video!
I was about to buy a shifter set as the left shifter stopped working, would not engage. I thought this video was snake oil, but still have it a try, and dude to my surprise it worked. I sprayed wd-40, then compressed, alcohol etc, and it is butterfly smooth. Thank you very much!
really helpful vid, thanks! I'm going through a 92 Schwinn High Plains and it uses these shifters as part of the 200GS groupset and they really need some cleaning
Hey man! Great video. I have the same problem and I ran into your video. I have entry level Shimano rs010 alloy wheels. A couple of local bike shops refused to do any repair on the wheeel. They said that it`s a lot more possible to crack the rim instead of being able to fix it. So right now I`m like: "Should I trust my LBS or should I trust some guy on the internet" :D :D Joke aside, Do you have any idea of the odds of cracking the rim while trying to fix it? Cause that`s actually my biggest concern with this type of repair. Thanks in advance. And thanks for sharing your experience! :)
It’s definitely possible to damage the rim further or possibly crack it! The best advice I can give is take your time. If it starts going sideways and is getting frustrating, set it aside and try again another day. Good luck!
