Here you go brother! also, crazy videos on your channel.. the one from 7 yrs ago? ahead of your time! CDI Torque Wrench: amzn.to/4byUvA6 (CDI 1501MRMH Dual Scale Micrometer Adjustable Click Style Torque Wrench with Metal Handle - 1/4-Inch Drive - 20 to 150 in. lbs. Torque Range)
Thank you for the post.... i figured I couldn't be that dumb that I couldn't get the wheel back on the bike. I'm still debating on the dumb part but after watching the video, i was able to put the wheel back on in minutes. My problem.... i didn't set the chain to the smallest gear. I really appreciate you saving me $50 and the humiliation of having to take it to a bike shop or ask a neighbor. My wife thinks i'm a man again and i feel better about myself. Liked and Subscribed
Oh yeah...fully super manned on shotgun once on a dh bike and went over to the bars on velocity last year playing with suspension pressure - was too soft. The velocity crash is on one of my videos.
When you hit it at proper speed the one big jump may be worth the resting. But it should be a single. When it's windy it can blow you completely off line. Mammoth isn't great at labeling trails for difficulty!
NOTE TO SELF: Watch this excellent video BEFORE trying to do this in the future! I spent an hour this afternoon trying to get my thru axle, wheel, and disk brakes lined up. I was minutes away from getting a sledgehammer to force the wheel in, haha! I decided there must be someone on YT that could explain how to do this easily. FIRST video, this one, I found the guy. Thanks so much! I liked and subscribed simply due to the way you teach this. Good job. I was using a workstand. I can see how the upside-down method is much better. I'll be back for more lessons!
I noticed you pull the derailleur lever out on the very first wheel removal? However, you don't seem to do it from all the other angles. Is it necessary to pull the lever? Also, does it need to be moved back when the wheel is reinstalled? Thanks
Crying with laughter here. Bro thinks he can see the "quality" in the steel 🤣🤣🤣 im sure hes right tho thats why all the PROS use galfer not shimano or sram 😅😅😅
Hah! Glad I made you laugh... But if you've ever held enve carbon rims in your hand or some 5dev cranks, you CAN see the quality... It doesn't take a genius to know what's good and what's crap! 😁
I wouldn’t usually comment on such things BUT you can tell the difference between a pressed and a cut rotor. You can also tell the difference from an 1.8mm thick to an 2mm thick rotor. For the money, the SRAM and Shimano equivalents are simply more expensive and those at this price level are pretty average. But as I’ve mentioned previously in here, I’d take a two piece MDR-P any day of the week. You can find them for a bargain price in the UK and they are simply fantastic.
@@andrew8200m I'm in Mammoth Lakes, CA and Galfer USA is in Carson City, Nevada just a few hrs drife away. I agree wtih you on cut versus pressed. The difference between top tier and standard place holders is quite apparent just to the naked eye. A lot of pro's run the galfers and I wanted to see for myself how good they are. So far they've been amazing. I wish I has purchased some a while ago! That being said, there are a lot of very good high end rotors out there.. and it's good to have a favorite!
I used to run the galfer waves a long while ago but their pricing is ridiculous. I currently use 2.3 mm trp rotors (came with a set of brake) on my Jeckyll but my other two bikes (trance x29 & chormag hardtail) get respectively the 2.3mm ali express special and 1.9 mm real floating rotors from iiipro, another ali special. TBH it's more about the looks they all perform flawlessly. 12$ ali express or 80$ TRP
Yeah TRP I believe just came out with a new rotor that looks just like the shark. Neko Mulally runs a wave in the front and a shark in the rear on his frameworks dh bike. And I agree, there are a lot of good rotors out there!
I'm running tektro 2.3mm rotors. 203mm/180mm on my trail bike. Cost me like $25-30 an end on eBay. I have a bunch of Shimano rotors and the machining quality is terrible. There's whole patches of the rotors that didn't even touch the pad after months of riding. RT64 and 66.. The flatness and machining quality of the tektro rotors is way better and they cost next to nothing...have a pair of centre lock and 6 bolt 2.3mm rotors and they run on Clarks m4 calipers with deore levers. The fact that these premium manufacturers are using "2mm" as some crazy move forward is off considering the majority of the $10 rotors I have here are all 1.95mm to begin with. Shimano seemed to be the only rotors I've ran that came under 1.8mm.
@@lucideuphoria7092 Nice! I'll have to check those out. I've been using my galfers every day this week at Mammoth Mountain Bike Park where I live and they have been great. Will definitely take a look at the Tektro.
If you're talking about DP Cryomonster rotors, they are pressed out which is inferior to laser cut. The new TRP rotors look very similar to the Galfer Sharks and are probably a good choice too.
@@andrew8200m ahh... Yeah hope makes a sick 2 piece also but you have to upgrade everything... Calipers etc. The nice thing about the galfers is they work on lots of brands...
You can use most calipers that come on most bikes at $3000 or more. SRAM Codes for example work perfectly with these (MDR-P), as do hope E4, Clark C4s, TRP DH-R Evos etc. If your going to run entry level brake calipers then sure, you’ll run in to issues but there are target markets for a reason after all.
Thank you! I had a bad valve core but didn't really know it, I tried to pump up the tire and it just backed up into the pump like you explained. I didn't have a clue how to fix the problem until I watched your video. So I ordered a little kit with the tool and valves and I will try to fix it. Thanks again!
@@jeffreyjuneau1959 that helps, it's not completely necessary. Really depends on the bead, the rim shape etc. If you start at the valve, you'd want to push it up a bit to get it out of the way when dealing with an inner tube. Does that make sense? Then it's out of the way.
This used to be a black diamond. Mammoth Mountain Bike Park have changed the ratings on a lot of the trails. Last time i visited the park a few years ago, they had none of the pro trails (the black triangle).
I can’t put valve core in my bike. I separated one more part of valve b/c core doesn’t fit. Core can be put inside on last wider part but I am using tool I can’t even turn b/w tire those tire lines. Due to my lack of English I note 4 standar cores / they look like yours and this tool with 4 features. Last year my daughter fix in private garage and I don’t know why she got different valve?? One tire is still good never fixed due to using women Shimano bike. Do I need maybe different core valves to by. Thanks in advance 😊
What the HELL is wrong with the old style???!!! These new things are completely idiotic! I don't have a tool to tighten the existing one that comes loose when I put the adapter for filling on! I don't understand how this is a better system! STUPID!
I searched out this video because i just removed the rear wheel from my Cutty and it got all bound up to hell. I haven't put it back on yet, but if my derailleur and rotor are straight I'll be surprised. I did exactly what our host here did, but when the wheel came down the chain wanted to stick in the cog and shit got weird. Aaaanyway, glad to see I wasn't being a complete idiot, but seriously confused as to why it was such a bear. (I'm guessing I didn't pull the deraileur back far enough)
Sounds like your chain was either kinked or had a stiff link. If your chain doesn't behave you may have to guide it with your hand as things don't always go to plan or behave like it did in the video!
@@TheMarkList Thanks for the reply -- I took the wheel off again yesterday and it was a bear getting the chain off that lowest cog again. It went better this time but not smooth. Next time I think I'll try the next to smallest cog to see if that takes some lateral pressure off the chain.
Glad it helped! Sometimes the axle will have a Allen type socket at each end...and can be confusing. Stick to the info in the video and you'll be good.. And never force anything!
Hahaha dude we’re so similar lol I say the same stuff when riding!!! “Eeeeeyooooh!” Haha I lived in Prescott Arizona for about five years man, and got heavily into mountain biking, some of the best in the country. Highly recommended if you haven’t been there yet. I was supposed to move to Santa Monica, but Home was calling after some personal issues like injuries and other setbacks. I hope to move back out there again someday. Seems like so much fun. Awesome mountain bikingsurfing and snowboarding! I don’t think it can be beat. Just trying to get out there before it slides into the ocean.
You can reengage after you tighten the axle up. They aren't a crucial component. You can run the bike with it on or off. Personal preference based on setup and chain slap!
Why replace it, tubes are cheap? My tube has a very slow leak, takes almost 24 hours to be flat, after 16 hours tube isn't too flat to ride on. Tube is fairly new too. I kept patching a tube over and over until on one ride the valve stem blew out and stranded me along the road.
Does it matter what position the shredder/presta valve is in when pumping it up? I see some people put it in the 6 o'clock position and some in the 12 o'clock. Physically speaking, doesn't the air want to travel up so if you pump it from the top it'll have a harder time making it's way down uniformly? However, we are talking about a circular rolling device. So maybe the air just sets as you ride.
People put it at 12 o clock so the sealant is at the bottom. It's not hot air so it won't rise or sink for that matter. If it's a tube, it doesn't matter where. 12 o clock is closest to the person ans you don't have to bend down to take the pump off as much. Make sense?
I've never sealed a tire for tubeless wheels but I imagine that when the sealant is wet and you pump in air, if the valve is at the bottom (6'clock position) it would be like pumping air into water cus the excess sealant will flow down to the bottom of the tire.
