Tektro had to go! Clinton said he bled them many times, and they couldn’t be revived. This was a hard day’s work, but his reaction was well worth it. Good times. 🤜🤛

It's mind boggling how many people drop all that coin for a nice bike, then never maintain their suspension. Some once they notice decreased performance they think they need an upgrade. Others if they finally try to service it there's already damage to the stanchions or sliders. Some pass the buck and sell the bike then buy a new bike.
@EvansMTBSaga

I wish I would've mentioned that. With fork seals that bad I was surprised there wasn't any stanchion damage

@MoonMage67

its a 16 year old kid, i didnt know anything about my bike at that age and i had no clue about suspension maintenance. this costs a decent amount of money and if his parents dont ride they wouldnt know its needed and would be skeptical about spending more money on the bike.

For the Derailure hanger alignment, try to have one point (Can be the Valve or another point on the wheel) and do the 360 check of every angle with that same point, if you have a slight bend rim you won't get the hanger 99% straight if you do it like you do how you've done it in the Video

I have the Trance x 2 which is very similar; the problems you list are close to normal even for near new Trances. The dealer had never set derailleur limits or indexing, the chain clutch was off, the brakes sealed like crazy, the front fork bushings on one side were rattling, and the bottle cage rivnuts were loose. Most of the issues were just maintenance problems as on your example. I think it is a decent bike and I really enjoy riding mine.

1:31 this is actually what Fox and Rockshox use, but they are black instead. But Rockshhox use grey horrible seals on some forks, those had a bad failing rate, I had a fork that came covered in oil, and seals were off. They were out of spec. But the Fox seals were always good, but no wonder, they were SKF, Swedish goodness. But with the green seals, you know it's SKF from far away.

One remark: Hanger alignment should be done aganst one reference point (valve hole) rotated in 90 and 180 deg, because if your wheel is not true, it will alter your measurement.

I don't think it was a bad choice to take off the Tektro's, but I would say it might have come from a misinformed place. A lot of Tektro's, outside of the lowest end brakes they have, are really good brakes for their cost. Also, most of their servicing, including fluid, is interchangable with Shimanos. They are certainly worthwhile brakes. But a very good video, love the reaction, I hope it inspires him to take better care of his bike going forward. I remember being that age and thinking I couldn't take care of my bike, now I realize I can't afford not to.
