Video

Hey 7 years after you made this video, it helped me get a tight tire off my enve carbon rim today. I used plastic soft jaws in my vice which lowered the stress level. Thank you!

Mine looks nothing like this.

amazing teaching, a true master of your craft, this is so helpful

ur not allowed to use the correct tools on YT. fake cheater

Where does the 9mm get into the picture?

On my single speed bike I was riding 16t in the back 36t in the front and I just wasn’t getting the momentum I was looking for out of each pedal rotation so I changed my front chainring to 39t and now it’s going a bit faster

My barrel adjuster is moving my whole brake cable, it seems like the housing is a little broken and stuck in the barrel adjuster, any solution?

How to adjust the low-limit screw: Video #1. 15 long minutes of guys going over roots and rocks. but NO INFO about whether to turns the screw CW or CCW. Video #2. talk talk talk with no close up of the actual screw, just a guy talking about some other subject for a half hour. This video: A blurry closse up of the guy's head. 7 minuttes long. Nothing showing adjusment of the low limit. Does anyone know of a video that shows the low-limit adjustment? It only needs to be abour 30 seconds. CCW out? CW in or opposite? That's all I need.

great tutorial, sir, thank you!

how to do it if the whole cable is pushed into the tube inside how do I take it out and put the dropper post back? the barrel is already on it

Thank god for this video. The way you explained to look at the tire side and imagine you're turning a screw SOLVED all my problems. I thought I had it really right before then I looked at my wheel and it was like a bowl hahah. I really needed this mate thank you

Did you just replace the derailleur?!?😂

This will never work for the new crop of Transmission cassettes. The lock barrel is significantly tighter than older SRAM cassettes. Even with a 12" ratchet on the cassette tool, the lock tube won't turn easily, let alone using finger pressure to get the cassette started.

Next time try with a little soap and water

You are a lifesaver, mate. Thank you so much.

Howdy. My friend, I don't know where you are from, but you have a good English pronunciation. Good luck in what you do!

Brake handle gets stuck, locking the brakes, when pulling the brake...

This is way funnier if you listen to it without watching the video.

Thank you 🎉

This is one of the best videos i've ever seen on bike brake adjustment, no one ever mentioned about the spacer issue as the author did here. Thank You.. Very detailed.

One ring to rule them all... 😂

Dunno if you are still there but here is my question. I don't have a bike repair stand. Would it be OK if I turned my bicycle upside down to replace the brake pads and remove the wheels? The hydraulic fluid doesn't seem to like that position.

They're basically Indian lemmings

I just took mine apart and the plastic part with teeth wasnt there. Did they do a redesign? Mine is new bought in 2024.

I bought a parts bike just to take the avid juicy 5's off to put on my girlfriends bike. They definitely are both juicy 5's but i also noticed they have a different one of these springs in each of them, one looks like the one in the video and one doesnt...(edit- O im missing a top spring clip on that one). I see now..they still work somehow😂 They both work but im now wondering what thats about😅. I do have a problem with slight rubbing on front and back, I havnt figured out how to adjust out the pads themselves to stop from being so tight in there.. Theres gotta be a way right? Every other brake ive seen has a way to back off the pads a tiny bit. My rotors measure 1.7 and 1.8 in thickness..my bran new ones measure 1.9.. so when i put them on my problems going to be a bit worse if i cant adjust them..

Thanks for the video. I bought a awesome ozark trail gravel bike yesterday. But i noticed when i was using the lowest gear(I think? lol?) The chain would click on the deraillier

Another tip for smaller people - position the breaker bar so that it is resting on your hip, then push down on the pedal with your right hand and pull up on the other pedal with your left hand.

I tried even with a vise taking to bike shop spent a wasted hour on this

the Kona remote 160 came with this seat post, I think carbon fibre is better but this is kinda cool!!

i would have tightened the cable from the handle bar because if incase the set screws come a little loose, you have take the whole post out just to tighten it plus it makes it a lot easier assembling and cutting your 7 inches from handle bar height and tweaking from there.....my 2 cents!!

Thank you Bike Teacher - This video helped me get a TranzX post working again on a Kona Process 134DL.

Lmao i just watched this after my bike de railled on the way home just now

Yep, tried all the other ways on my gravel bike tires. Worked like a champ. Hope I never have to do this on the side of the trail. And tell me why some new bikes come with un-removable valve cores- kinda would have been happy running tubes with stans for a bit to see if I like the tires. Thanks again my friend.

Can you do a MTB wheel swap to just a freewheel without the hub? planning to make a fixie gravel, but no hub, is it possible? Thanks

How about the middle 'cog wheel/rather thing' not snapping back? if I shift upwards, everything clicks no problem, then on the way down, the first three gears don't click/snap back at all, then from the 4th gear down the snapping/clicking returns. What could I do? it's been driving me insane for days now

It was a real quick video, but enough to make my front up-shifter work again. Thanks a lot for your very clear and instructive video..

Size of tap for heli-coil ？

A 2 or 3 arm puller would work much better if you can get a decent grip on the inboard side of the crank. Or you could punch it off with a long socket extender and hammer from the other side so long as you secure the spindle with a bolt or small socket placed onto a hard surface, with the bike off the stand and on its side. But these methods are really crude and will do all sorts of damage to the bike and parts unnecessarily.

Music SUX. Otherwise ok

This is mine but the rear wheel, is it any different

I replaced a rim and it got flat 2 days later any idea why?

Why allway forward ?

The best tutorial so far that I have seen.

Make sure to grip the spoke with pliers next to nipple and keep it locked when adjusting as old spokes will have stuck threads and adjusting it will cause spoke to twist and snap, wd40 will also help, you can tell this is happening if there is bounce back in opposite direction after letting go of adjustment tool

Not familiar with bikes, but was asked to adjust someone else's cable adjustment and found this video to better help me understand. The first thing that came to mind was that : isn't the 'barrel' the barrel shaped end 'blob' to the cable that slots in its position inside the lever?. So what does this adjustment have to do with that?; it is more of a sheathing to handle free play or backlash adjuster. Is it just a misnomer?. From a teaching perspective, would be good to go back to basics to figure out how you would come up with this device from the get go?. For example, it it were not cable, but a rod system, to design 'free play ' at the lever, you might put a link in there with slotted holes. And for a cable system, where the cable does not wholly travel in a straight line, and is sheathed to confine any 'out of position' movement, you can then dream up this device to give the variable free play at the lever.

... feeling that extra pressure that.... (what?) Is there a full version of this video, please?

I have a question, why didn't he put the bike side ways to the wheel doesn't fall out ?

You saved my life!

It worked, unlike any other advice. Now that I broke the seal on the tyre and added the Kevlar tape to the tyre how do I reseal? Does that happen on its own when you inflate the tyre? Sorry for sounding stupid.

Isn't it amazing, how the right tools make frustrating tasks so much simpler.
