This is the sort of bike more people should be riding around town and in day to day life, not trying to commute on cheap full suspension bikes...

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Definitely, they’re under appreciated gems 🧡

@wildandbarefoot 4 месяца назад

I love my ClaudeButler legend. Best bike ive ever owned.

@DanielSell 6 месяцев назад

What a superb job, mate! I live in Brazil and I own a Claud Butler Regent, she's been with me for over 13k KM and I love it! Amazing overall transformation.

@Bikespeeds 6 месяцев назад

V-brakes and cantilever brake levers 😱

@wojtekmaciaszek2542 Год назад

Have noticed the same thing and been thinking how this really works...🤔🤔

@SayMcGillicuddy Год назад

I love these workhorse bikes. Built to last. Love the story behind this one. You've 100% strengthened the partnership between bike and rider here. Exemplary work, as ever.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Thanks again Allan. It was great to work on this one knowing what it meant to the owner and a pleasure to get him the video as well🧡

@alansharp5543 Год назад

I still have my Youngs road bike from the mid 1960s. I'm having it shipped to me from storage in Texas. Being able to enjoy riding it once more is my aim, after some restoration work. Campag Record gears, hubs, headset plus Mafac brakes, Williams chainset and Unica saddle

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Wow that’s awesome! Enjoy working and riding on it🧡

@alansharp5543 Год назад

I'm having difficulty sourcing Universal brake lever hoods, the brown translucent ones

@schlass265 Год назад

Two questions : - You changed from cantis to V brakes without changing the levers. How's that? They do have different pull ratios right? - What brand of chain are you using? We have been looking for a high quality 5-6 speeds chain for a long time with no luck.

@KarlosEPM Год назад

+1 on your brake lever question. As far as I know, you can use 6 sp chains on 5 sp freewheels. KMC in fact markets a chain as a 6/7/8 speed. The space between cogs remained the same. Not sure if you could use a chain meant for more speeds, although I would think you could. Cheers.

@Lbuzzer Год назад

Came here for the brake lever non-switch. It's possible they were already high-pull levers, which, from experience, make cantilevers... touchy... Nice service!!

@tinniswood2577 Год назад

Nice back story and a cracking good bike for plenty more use.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Absolutely!🧡

@MacPhantom Год назад

I've been watching many of your videos and find so many aspects about them and your work that I love. Your videos are in standardised, familiar format, no clickbait, no exaggerations, no ridiculous bandwagon trends (big mouth thumbnails, sensationalism, "ASMR", ...) and very soothing to watch. And your work is top-noch, too! Sure, we cannot expect the last nut and bolt to be shiny like in those "dream build" videos; you're a professional shop after all. But everything is diligent, honest, well thought out, informative, and unpretentious. I am so tired of watching/reading stuff like "I don't need a torque wrench, I know how to tighten bolts", "a chain protector is a dork disc and needs to go", etc. This channel is one of the rare gems of this otherwise pretty much ruined video streaming platform. I can only congratulate and encourage you to keep doing your work as you do, because it's great and a real pleasure to watch.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

We really appreciated this comment and have a lengthy conversation over it. We’ve worked very hard over these 2 years and currently things are moving slowly but we believe our videos will build and build with lots of longevity and will rise up in the ranks of RU-vid. Thanks very much for supporting us along the way🧡

@rodcosta2345 Год назад

Hey Bikespeeds - any chance you can do a video on a gravel bike? I ask because they seem to go through a lot of abuse and it'd be interesting to see the process. Cheers!

@Bikespeeds Год назад

@callumj_ Год назад

Love the paint job on this one. Polish really finished it off. Slightly sad to see the cantilever brakes being replaced with V-brakes 😢

Sealed bearing vs old school cup-n-cone! Nostalgia wins!

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Amen!

@Thecrazyvaclav Год назад

The parts cleaned up so nicely, because bikes of that age were built up to a standard, not down to the cheapest price possible.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Absolutely! Thanks for watching 🧡

@paulfafard918 Год назад

You put new Linear pull brakes, replacing the cantilever brakes. Did the levers have adjustments for the difference needed in pull? (long pull vs short pull). Nice job cleaning this one up!

@Fallington Год назад

I was thinking that myself, I remember when v-brakes first appeared in the late 90s and I tried to use them with standard SLX brake levers - they pulled all the way to the bars before biting! Still got the dents on the back of my fingers 25yrs later… 😄

@SeventhTenant Год назад

My thought exactly! Wouldn't be a problem with mini v-brakes, but this mismatched setup raises question about performance and modulation of the brakes. Interested to hear a comment from @bikespeeds. Cantilever brakes that are set up properly are plenty strong for city riding in my experience.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

These were simply fine, we tested them and they just worked. This customer was looking for an affordable service so we adjusted them up and replaced as little as possible. Thanks guys🧡

@YoungunAK54 Год назад

The Cedar Cycles sticker, brought back some memories, was always a treat as a kid to walk round looking at the new bikes.

@Bikespeeds Год назад

Thank you very much Phil. We agree with your sentiment on the older stuff it’s very enjoyable. 🧡⚙️

@KarlosEPM Год назад

That was a great era for bicycles and cycling. Comfortable materials, easy enough to service, meant to last. I too daydream of hand machined components 😅 and I'm lucky enough to have a few (apparently indestructible) 90's Alessa wheelsets engraved "handmade in Belgium". Top video and refurbishment and, gosh, that bottom bracket is alien technology 😆.

@KarlosEPM Год назад

Oh. I have had luck using 3D printed plastic spring housings for old shimano 200 brakes. I was tempted to upgrade to V-brakes but could afford the wait (and risk) to keep it closer to original. Thanks for the videos 😊

@Bikespeeds Год назад

We did investigate that but without access to a 3D printer ourselves getting them to the UK from someone who makes them was to timely and costly, but a very interesting concept. Nice wheels also Carlos!

@531c Год назад

Great job chaps. Agree with your sentiments about people years back manufacturing these old workhorse bikes. I reckon many cyclists today wouldnt be familiar with the term " 6 speed block", made me chuckle! Proper bike service/ renovation always worth it. My wife has a 3x6 gear set up and cross chains constantly so i adjusted the front mech stop screws , now its 1x6 middle ring only. She said its a huge improvement😂

@Bikespeeds Год назад

This was a very enjoyable service!🧡⚙️

@lenolenoleno Год назад

Like your videos - just a correction as you've said the same thing on a few videos. An unloaded spin test on a crank is fairly meaningless and is certainly not indicative of how 'efficient' a bottom bracket is. The way contact seals work is that seals lift above a certain RPM. I would take a modern threaded BB over these old heavy/ingress prone BBs any day of the week: they would maintain their efficiency longer and doesn't require like 3-4 tools to disassemble.

@xxrodneyxx Год назад

@robertpope3074 Год назад

Excellent videos, I loved watching this video,, I've got a Raleigh marauder retro mountain bike and the crank arm, left side has just decided to break,, lasted ages considering its over 30 years old, but I replaced it with a 2 speed front crank arm I had,, instead of the 3 cog set up it used to be,, only downfall it's harder to set off due to the higher gearing Can you still purchase the old cranks from the 90s,,where the crank is put through the whole of the frame? Not like the newer bikes whicker are cylinder cranks,, so no way of greasing up the bearings 👍👍👍👍 Thanks for the great videos Keep up the good work👍👍👍
