THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!! I am currently wondering whether I should do this for a set of wheels on one of my favourite bikes or whether I will take it to the bike local shop. Now I know that if they want to charge me more than £80 for both, I can do it cheaper myself AND get some more cool tools at the same time for the future! BRILLIANT CONTENT, WELL PRESENTED! Thank you so much for the alternative tools information! down to earth, no BS! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

@ribblevalleycyclist 2 месяца назад

Hi Rob in Switzerland! Sorry it took me a while to reply. To quote a good friend of mine, "It's a bicycle, not the space shuttle"!!!! You should definitely do it yourself, it's easier than you think, you'll save money in the long-run, and you'll get a sense of satisfaction from it all. Jon in England!!!!!

@RobWhittlestone 2 месяца назад

@@ribblevalleycyclist Hi Jon - I do normally do all the stuff on the bikes myself but I'm new to cartridge bearings on bikes so have been a bit wary. And I don't have those tools yet. But you did a great job of explaining how to, so might consider it. At the moment though all bikes are running well so will delay this step. By the way it's quite un-Swiss to maintain your bike thoroughly yourself here. People I know take it to their local bike shop. I have had a good set of bike tools since I was 15. Keep up the good work! All the best, Rob

@ribblevalleycyclist 2 месяца назад

@@RobWhittlestone Un-Swiss to maintain your bike thoroughly yourself...... Interesting. Here in the UK, we do say you should look after your LBS (Local Bike Shop), use it or lose it. I'll be honest, I do sometimes wonder if my online tutorials damage the already fragile bike shop economy. But the counter-argument is that it's important that we know how to fix our bikes ourselves. Thanks, Jon

Your videos are very informative and useful. Thank you so much. I do however have a question about grease. Can I use f.ex. a bike teflon grease or muc-off waterproof bio grease?

@ribblevalleycyclist 2 месяца назад

Hi, As the grease is just aiding installation, preventing corrosion, and not actually aiding movement, most will be fine.

@tpoljsak 3 месяца назад

Jon, I have a question. Does a direction of new bearings matter? Is there a chamfer on both sides of the bearing or do you need to pay attention to that? Tnx.

@ribblevalleycyclist 3 месяца назад

Hi Tadej, Really good question! In this application, the bearings themselves are symmetrical, so it doesn't matter. However!!!!! The seals that protect bearings can sometimes be different on each side. Stick this search into Google, and you'll see what I mean 'Contact seal vs non contact seal'

@sharonjohnson1171 2 месяца назад

Just to add, how do you measure the bearing angles when ordering new ones? Thanks again.

@ribblevalleycyclist 2 месяца назад

Hi Sharon, If you're replacing cartridge wheel bearings, like I do in this video, then the only measurements you need, are the ones shown in the video (Inside/Outside/Width). If you need to measure the bearing yourself to get the sizes, then the only accurate way of doing this is to remove the bearing and measure it.

@ribblevalleycyclist 2 месяца назад

Theoretically, they should just pull off.

@clp91009 2 месяца назад

I’m pretty fussy about wheel bearings. I only use high quality steel bearings with non contact seals. NTN or NSK are my go to brands. You rarely see these brands installed in wheel sets because they are designed for precision machines not bicycles. Also expect to pay over £10 per bearing. I never bother with ceramic bearings as I read they are designed primarily for industrial machines operating at very high revolutions far beyond what a bike hub can reach.

@MrJwmurph 3 месяца назад

If sealed bearings are better why do Shimano / Campagnolo (including Fulcrum) still use cup and cone bearings on all their high end wheels?

@ribblevalleycyclist 3 месяца назад

It's a good point you make. If looked after, cup & cone perform exceptionally well. The trouble is, they're not usually looked after. That's why, during its overall lifespan, a typical cartridge bearing setup performs better than its cup & cone counterpart.

@MrJwmurph 3 месяца назад

@@ribblevalleycyclist makes sense. I've got a set of cup and cone wheels and they without doubt are faster than the cartridge bearing wheels I have but that may also be that the overall wheel construction (from rim to hub to bearing) is more high end on the cup and cone equipped wheels. I'm trying to get enough confidence to clean and re-grease the bearings but I'm a bit worried I'd get the preload wrong and wreck the cups and bearings. I guess a Cup and Cone Maintenance for Dummies would be a huge help!!

@ribblevalleycyclist 3 месяца назад

@MrJwmurph The biggest worry with C&C was the locking nut letting go of the cone. The cone becomes free to move, and the drag between the cone and the bearings causes the cone to tighten. The more it tightens, the more the drag increases, and the cone crushes the hub!
