SRAM Replaced My 30 Year Old Recalled RockShox Mag 20 Forks
I was working on an old Bianchi mountain bike that had RockShox Mag 20 forks. The forks would bottom out without a lot of weight. They are air/oil forks, and I thought they would just need some more air, maybe oil. I started looking online for service docs, but found a recall notice for these forks from 1995. These forks were made in 1992. Apparently the fork crown was prone to cracking. I tried calling the number on the recall notice, but it wasn't any good. I found a recall number of SRAM's site. Keep in mind, RockShox wasn't even a part of SRAM until 2002. So I called SRAM to ask about the recall on these 30 year forks, not expecting much. They took my name and address, and said they were going to send me some new forks. And they did. I was amazed.
FYI, I called them as a regular customer. I did not tell them I was RJ The Bike Guy, or mention anything about having a CZcams channel.
Here is the recall notice for these forks:
www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1995/cpsc-and-rock-shox-announce-recall-of-1992-mag-20-and-mag-30-suspension-fork-crowns
This is the number I called:

How To Keep Bike Handlebar Grip Ends From Ripping
zhlédnutí 28KPřed rokem
A simple trick costing only 10 cents can help protect your handlebar grip ends from getting torn up. I show you the "nickel trick" that helps protect the rubber grip ends from being cut by the open end of the handlebars. What causes this tearing is usually something like the bike falling over and the end of the handlebar cutting into the rubber like a chisel. This helps cover up the sharp ends ...
How To Straighten/Align A Bent Derailleur Hanger
zhlédnutí 59KPřed rokem
I noticed the derailleur seemed to be sitting at different angle than the cogs on the cassette. Looking closer, it looked like the derailleur hanger was bent. So I used my Park Tool DAG 2.2 Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauge to straighten the hanger. I show the process. The Park Tool DAG 2.2 is a really nice tool, but it is kind of expensive. So I have a video shwoing how to make a cheaper home ...

How To Make An Extra Long Hex Socket Tool

I show how to make a really extra long hex socket tool. I was working on overhauling a Suntour XCC fork, and to remove the lowers, I needed to remove a 5mm hex bolt that is deeply recessed in a hole. I normally use on of my Tekton extra long hex sockets, but in this case, it wasn't long enough. The blade length was about 5 inches, and I needed a tool with maybe 6 1/2" to 7" blade length.

I got this 2002 Fuji Nevada for free from a friend. He used to ride it around his college campus. He stripped the bike, and uglified so it wouldn't be stolen.

    Thanks RJTheBikeGuy!! Your video helped me save my Keytronic "classic ll" keyboard, the culprit was a big 'dust bunny' on the foam black bar next to the small circuit board inside the keyboard. I suspect the 'dust bunny' was infringing on the connections needed for functional keys. After taking my board apart & cleaning it gently but thoroughly it works perfectly now, so thanks for your informative & helpful video. **Peace**

    I have some vintage toys that need maintenance and occasional repairs, things such as jukeboxes, Schwinn Stingrays, mini-bikes and at least one old car at all times. I'm constantly tinkering or fixing one thing or another, I've never tried taking a 3 speed hub apart. Eventually, I'd like to learn. In the meantime I think I might be paying someone to do this, watching you do this is impressive. You have some serious skills, thanks for posting this..👍
