Nothing is easy 😂

Hi, one simple thing I missed in the video and spent 2 hours trying to figure out whats wrong. In video it doesnt see very clearly and there was no instruction how to place ratchets. I put them together randomly and placed in. But they must go that both of their teeths are facing, otherwise free hub will rotate both sides... When I put everything together including cassete, i couldnt tighten it, because it was rotating both sides. I reasembled and assembled everything few times figuring whats wrong 😂 and only after few tries i figured out about this ratchets that was placed wrong way. Its very nice and clear video, just please add this small step so other noob like me wont screw up😅 thanks!

Is it fine to use lithium grease on dt Swiss ratchet?

@Rides of Japan I've got a question and read in your profile that you'd like to not get an e-mail but instead a comment under a video... since i don't have instagram... So here is my question since I'm planning my first build and currently gather the parts: At 10:12 you mention that the CK T47i BB doesn't have a long enough sleeve for the greater width BB's of that standard. After looking at their site and finding there's just one BB for the whole range of widths I mailed them if that product got changed/updated since three years ago. Sadly I just got sent the link to the product kind of saying "look... it says from XX mm to XY mm..." and not really answering my question. Do you have any insights? Cause I don't wanna spend the 250€ for the whole BB when I can't use half of the selling points... Thank you very much!

What is the function of the spacer?

NO GOOD FOR LONG RIDE SPECIALLY SUNNY DAY SUMMER THE SEALANT SLOWLY DRYING WTF MY FUCKING ENGLISH 😂✌️

I know this video is old but I just wanted to stop by and comment that you saved me from going to the bike shop with this tutorial. Thanks a million 🙏🏻

Have you ever considered adding the mounts on the top tube for a bolt on top tube bag on this bike?

FYI these cranks have issues with creaking and separating at the carbon aluminum interface. Going to try replacing them with EA90 crank arms

Hi! I have the Roval Alpinist CL II. They weight 1265gr (Dt Swiss 350 hub). Would you advise to go for the Extralight 38 considering the hubs might require more fine tuning? Best

About point 4: there is no way to pull out second ring of ratched ....... any suggestion ? Thank you

So, does anybody know if the Mavic iD360 should be treated another way? I have had some issues with sub-zero temperatures, so I guess I need to ensure that the lubricant is frost free.

Just picked up the same bag you got!

Hi :) Nice video! Since you live in Japan, I was wondering why you haven't yet switched to the Japanese-made ipump mirco with only 21 g or the ipump twist with 26 g :)

Great

Encountered the problem of a really tight / stuck end cap today on my DT 240 mountain bike wheel. The solution was a pair of smooth jaw pliers - Knipex makes a good set - these have no serrations in the jaws of the pliers so they don’t marr the end cap. You just grip it and gently pull straight up and off it comes. No vise, no sprays, no damage, and takes about 15 seconds to remove the cap. Cheers

And for 715 ?

Sehr gut ❤!

I'll stay with rim brakes. This is ridiculous

Great soundtrack😎

You should mention that even though the initial investment is higher, afterwards you can have just the brake surface replaced keeping the original carbon slider for half the price of the new disc. That gives you effectively a new rotor for half the price.

Stuff sleeping bag, closed end first, that way the air won’t be trapped.❤✌🏼🙏🏼

Regarding the split ring that provides the interface between the upper bearing and the steerer (5:14): Is it not the case that because of this cut out, there is nothing in the front of the steerer that is supporting the load between the steerer and the inner surface of the upper bearing? More specifically, does this not increase the radial load on the steerer tube at the ends of this c-shaped ring? And is there anything in this system that maintains the orientation of the split ring as you turn the steerer, or does it just move with the cables? TIA.

Can't believe you'd recommend Light Bicycle - these rims may be light, but they are DANGEROUS. They collapsed on a short hill climb on a bike ridden by a 60kg rider. Moreover further investigation revealed that the material used was not from a reputable CF manufacturer, but from a patent infringement material that also contained nylon and glass fibre. Oh, and if you care, the rider broke his collar bone when the wheel broke. Please stop endorseing this cheap Chinese knockoff crap🙏🙏

I’ve lived and rode in Japan for the past 25 years (China)so I know Japanese roads well. This video gave me so much anxiety it was not even funny. The thought of a inoshishi 🐗 waiting around that next corner was just too much for me. 😂. Amazing descending skills sir…truly.

Thanks really learnt alot from this video. I may now attempt my first brake pad change !

LOL OCD box ^^

Thank you for the tip! I'm in the same process with a Specialized FastTrak: I annihilate one of my daughter's eraser gum and my motivation in my bath tub, cleaning only the half of the tyre in ~150 minutes made my self a rubberised sore fingered yeti... and what a mess! I need something more efficient.

you can use a rasp and sandpaper to get the right shape. afterwards a small torchlighter to smoothen the surface. done

This lube will not work as a backup lube if you hot wax your chain. It will not penetrate the links and cake the whole drivetrain.

Fantastic! 😍

Do you plan to actually sit on that saddle or did you just buy it for weighing it?

Now I prefer my formula hub.... simple... balls out, balls in

Hi, I have a Lezyne Pocket Drive Pro as well. Which inner tube have you used for the weather protection/grip "improvement", 700 or 650? I may be asking something obvious but I am an mtb cyclist. thanks in advance!

That's was awesome. Thanks for making that so informative and entertaining!

You should try Berd spokes. Lighter than sapims and way stronger....and they're made of plastic!

i have 11,19,28,36 and i'm planing to get 44 and that's it. 5 step only

An now they dont make the Endura where you can choose PD width anymore. 🙄

My 2021 made in Taiwan rim tape glue doesnt stick anymore, beware...

Pedagogic at its best Suscribed!

For the record, using a hair dryer in combination with rubberized gloves speeds up the process. I was able to clean up a bead in 10 minutes using both vs. 30 minutes with just the gloves.

you dont need the ice. Thin the shoe goo with Xylene or Naptha. Then you can paint the shoe goo on with a small brush or flat head screw driver. It will self level.

Why didn't you use helium to inflate the tires?

Panaracer makes outstanding tires. Have Gillar 25mm on my chimbing bike and CGCX on cyclocross/touring.

Elite fly are the lightest and very easy to squeeze. Also quite durable, I am using pair for 3 years and still going strong, and no smell at all. Only scratches.

es compatible con el pedalier campagnolo superecord de 11v. el mecanico?

Can I remove the logo from my bike frame doing this?

Hey Tobias, you've got too much time and too less children, I guess. 😂 But I have one question: Aren't you concerned about weakening the cross section of your levers while grinding off a lot of material? I mean, even Shimano has reasons for making the "walls" of the parts that thick. What if you have to grab really hard into the brake levers in an emergency case and they fail? Since I weigh 50% more than you, it might not be your problem at all. 😬 But however: Do you take such aspects into account? By the way: I love your videos and I am happy that you speak such a clear and "European" style of English language that even I don't need subtitles in most cases! 🙃

Do you take a shower before taking the train back lol
