I thought was gunna be easy rip
it's 8th week after my collarbone surgery(titan plate screwed), with intense physiotherapy and even more intense rest i gained almost full range of motion in arm, already working on the strenght. as an addition i fractured 3 metacarpal bones. but at least the crash didn't break my mental, i'm looking forward to get back on the bike soon :)
Happy recovery! -Eddie
Hey Eddie, could you list the adapters/parts I need to replicate your test setup on my air compressor? Thanks!
You're going to need a male coupler (one that fits your compressor, there are a few types), a plug that matches the thread type on your coupler (usually 1/4" NPT), and you'll need a Presta valve. Good luck! -Eddie
Superb video, a lot of work to create I'm sure but very helpful thank you! I needed to replace my Park Tool and now after watching I will do so with another Park Tool as they have been great for the 15 years that I have owned them.
Think you went a bit ott with the likes of removing the wheel, totally unnecessary to describe your position, loosing the wheel etc, you include everything except how you cook a dinner
Removing the wheel is so easy to do - and it allows free access to all angles of the caliper. If it takes seconds to remove, I go ahead and do it to make my life easier. This is the same when I work on other things too. -Eddie
You can turn that glossy finsih that reflects into matt, in seconds! Just use a piece of sandpaper and carefuly sand the glossy finsih off!
What did you use on the rag to clean the old Sealant?
I use Simple Green. -Eddie
Tri flow is good stuff, just the bottle/applicator sucks. I use it on stainless steel uniball joints on my offroad vehicles keeps them quiet even in the dusty desert. It would be sweet if they had an aerosol version of it to do chains easier.
Thanks for the tip! -Eddie
Doesn't chain under tension load behave differently with the medium of lubes?
One would think? -Eddie
While a go I purchase several products including two Brushes' by Pedros, which had no idea about this company witch those products appear to be greatly awesome!! Now I know why are better! Thank you for these great test's > Honesty appreciated !!!
The wax trend is absolutely bonkers to me.
I know, right? I think "trend" hits the nail on the head. -Eddie
Watching this as I broke my left clavicle after landing wrong off a mountain bike jump and going over the handle bars yesterday afternoon. I broke my right clavicle in high school playing football. Surgery is planned and will have matching scars now on both sides! Did you have any anxiety or fears getting back in the bike after a crash? Something I’m a little worried about.
I did. I tried my best to get right back on - 3 months after the injury. Consciously, I was fine. I could rationalize the danger well. But, subconsciously, I don't think I ever fully recovered. Eventually, I gave up mountain biking for trail running for nearly two years. Recently, I've started mountain biking again - but I still can sense subconscious hesitation when the danger increases. Good luck with your recovery and getting back on the bike! -Eddie
Elite test ! Impressive, thank you 😍
Muchas gracias por su trabajo 👏
I have had a finish line one and the clip is not very durable. Frequent leaks from those holes and a pain to hold tight. Watching for replacements.
Muc off seems like Marketing over Performance
Ive been using muc off for years just because the shop had it and yes it smells awesome lol
Yep! -Eddie
Good video. Glad I found your channel today.👍🏻
Awesome, thank you! -Eddie
What is that liquid white in colour
It's tubeless tire sealant. -Eddie
I swapped out my suspension and now around that area is squeakikg and coming loose every so often after i tighten it any tips ?
check your torque settings perhaps? -Eddie
Unfair for squirt as it’s supposed to dry
Please see my follow-up video specifically for Squirt. -Eddie
Still gonna use WD-40, its the best for where I'm at, and cheao too!
Haha! -Eddie
Wow! Thats a complete test!!!!
Used this guide to switch out my X-Fusion air forks for a much better set of Marzocchi Z2 Bomber's, and it went perfectly. The only thing I think you could do better, is to show where exactly you should cut, in relation to your steerer height, and how deep a star nut should go, but it's not meant to be a full guide, so that's cool. Really appreciated this video though. Thanks so much
Thank you for your suggestions! -Eddie
Nice setup, you can last weeks with that gear.
Such a great scientific test and super entertaining video! Hopefully there's a follow up video with some new options (say gearhugger, effetto mariposa, WD40 dry lube, silca, etc)
Thank you! -Eddie
How trustable are quick releases? I have an old bike, with a quick release. Is there a chance it would release the wheel while going?
I've not had that issue. I check mine frequently and tighten as needed, though. -Eddie
@@SimplyMountainBiking Hmmm. Maybe I should too. Thanks!
So.. My problem is. Someone welded the brakes, onto the telescopes of the first wheel. The weld is letting the brakes go, which will fall off, and the telescope doesn't work.. obviously. So I want to replace it, with a normal, more primitive type, that has no telescope or quick release, but a space for the brakes, a proper attachment point, or properly installable attachment point. Hence I'm here.
Sounds like a problem! -Eddie
@@SimplyMountainBiking A massive one. I'm replacing the back brake, should work.
The scientific approach you took here impressed me. Great data
best chain cleaner is a pressure washer. Take it off first. Better have powerlink
wears earth hugger shoes and wears single use latex gloves for no reason. 🤣
Venom Steel gloves are nitrile, not latex, and are extremely durable. Definitely not single-use. I highly recommend them! -Eddie
This is so useful, love spring and summer, but normally stop riding as the days get shorter, not this winter! Keep posting, your video's are great
I really enjoyed the video. However, renowned lube tester Zero Friction Cycling claims his tests are shit. Not siding with anyone but I suggest you guys watch his video to make a balanced judgement on chain lubes.
Wow - I *tried* to watch that video. All valid points (I skipped a bunch) and that's why I did a follow-up with just Squirt. Remember - ZFS sells wax lubricants. Just FYI. I'm just a dude in my garage with no sponsors and I don't sell anything. Take that for what it's worth. -Eddie
The Park Tool one works well, but it makes a mess in my toolbox every time I store it. It's infuriating!
I watched the entire video to confirm that I bought the right stuff last time. Now I can confidently buy a larger quantity. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! -Eddie
There’s a lot of people shitting on Muc Off but the science speaks for itself.
I think so too! -Eddie
I love the scientific approach to this!
the best of all is stove polish.
What? -Eddie
Wow very impressive what a great video, thanks
Our pleasure! -Eddie
You buddy are an absolute star. I know this video is a few years old but I’m on the search for a good lube and just came across this after watching others and this is possibly the best video I’ve ever seen. Amazing mate, thank you so much for taking the time to do this and share your findings.
Glad you liked it! -Eddie
3 years onwards and are you still using muc-off dry?
Well... after nearly ten years of regular riding, I kinda haven't ridden a bike in over a year (shhh!) -Eddie
❤
Glad you loved it! -Eddie
Very informative video. I love it! One thing that could be still tested is how well does WD40 perform on the wear test after its solvents evaporate and just the oil is left behind. I have a feeling it's not as bad as shown in this video.
Great point! -Eddie
White Lightning is the same as Barbieri - and there are spare brushes on sale. But I've been using this tool for more than 10 years - and I still use the brushes that were included. Although when buying the tool, I immediately bought additional brushes. I use this tool both with kerosene and with detergents based on surfactants. Works great!
Really nice testing! Thanks.
Thank you! -Eddie
what about WD-40 Specialist chain lube?
Thanks for the suggestion! -Eddie
theory vs Praxis is always a bit different. u have to consider that wax doesn't has that much grime build up, which increases the longevity. But this is hard to measure. probably for people who clean their chain every ride wax got no benefit..buf maybe for lazy people who don't want to clean that often.
Yep! -Eddie
Thank you for all the impressive work you put into making this video.
My pleasure! -Eddie
I've not used all of these, but I've been very pleased with the Park Tool cleaner. It's built solidly and lasted me the longest of any cleaner i've owned.
Wow fast through and concise!🎉
