1 Hour Hub Rebuild! How To Replace Your Wheel Bearings

Are you suffering from play in your wheel bearings? Are rumbly hubs getting you down? The problem will usually be caused by wear in your bearings, which will introduce play to the hub, allowing the wheel to rock from side to side on its axle. Far from ideal. But fear not, because replacing your wheel bearings yourself can be straightforward - and even fun! Here’s a guide to a hassle-free refres...

Can I Beat This PRO Enduro Racer? Budget Hardtail Vs $$$ MTB
I have watched several videos testing bike locks. No one has actually done the tests under ALL of the following conditions. 1. Use portable grinder popular with thieves. 2. Include in the tests the time to change out blades and batteries on the portable grinders. In real life that time would add to cutting the locks. 3. Locking the bike locks in a more realistic scenario wrapping the rear wheel, frame and bike rack. 4. Additional second or third lock wrapping around front wheel, frame and bike rack. 5. Steps to take if you encounter thief while in progress.
I own both, new Sram force and ultegra 12speed di2... 1)Shimano charging is not a problem but rather easy to use and last alot longer than Sram batteries.. 2)braking power is far superior with Shimano plus they use mineral oil 3)ultegra is slightly lighter than Sram force 4)shifting is still faster with Shimano compared to the new sram force so I don't know why he gave both systems credit on the comparison chart..lol 5) when it's connected who really cares about an ap...lol 6)the only thing I like over Shimano when using Sram is the gearing(10-33 casettte is so sweet).. 7)my mechanic connects all my wireless(sram etap and di2) for me so that's never a problem 😅
Unstoppable heel rub!
Bought previous generation new tcr on ultegra for “just” 1980 euro 😅
Надо было постараться выбрать Пинарелло в таком дурацком цвете!
Neither of them are definition of lightweight aero bike as neither of them are particularly aero. That title goes to Supersix Evo and Tarmac.
My 4iiii power meter disconnects 1-2 times per minute during a ride... Very frustrating and ironic as I did not buy a power meter from China as I thought the 4iiii would be more reliable.
thumbnails sums it up nicely. Don't.
Their bikes then were much nicer than the ones they have on the market today !!!
Bought a heavy aluminium rim brake 8 sp bike and casually passed a super carbon Willier with carbon U L mavic wheels, I know they are as I have them, my bike cost £500 my carbon wonder bike overs 2k 🤷 garbage disc brakes, nonsense electronic shifting and who REALLY NEEDS 20 speed 😂😂😂😂
pretty funny that people are just glossing over cannondales moterra neo SL. 46 pounds in a large w an 85 nm motor.
personally id rather just not ride the TCR it seems so bias towards the TCR
hha same looking for Aeroad vs PP😁
Hookless = immediate no from me They bring ZERO benefit to the user and cost savings to the maker. Can get lighter than this (with higher profiles) and hooked, ie new Black Inc’s
Just bought the 2023 TCR advanced 0 for $5800 aud = to 3000 pound ...you brits do get taken to the cleaners when you put your hands in your pockets
Looks just like a Gravel Tire.
Good recommendation indeed but to sell an external cable bike nowadays is a difficult proposition specially for the competitive ones.
Like 99% of bikes, the cranks and handlebar are too long/wide on the TCR.
I would prefer the TCR….but not touching hookless rims…
Regarding hookless, I cannot for the life of me understand why any "average" cyclist would want to go hookless. Marginal aero/weight gain but at potential risk of failure.
Tcr
The only good thing about the Giant is the lifetime (real) warranty on the frameset…Conversely, the only positive thing about the Canyon is MVDP winning 50% of the monuments on it (Tadej Hoovers up the other 50%)…
You fail to mention the following. Hookless is only usable by lighter riders who don’t need higher pressures which would bust the hookless max pressure. Second, you must have your head in the sand about Giants power meter…..it’s crap and always has been. Every credible reviewer confirms same
Scott Foil Pro - Most comfortable all day aero bike I have owned. Better than Giant Propel or TCR by far. Never liked the Scott until i actually owned one. Very underated in the pubic forums and vloggers channels
Keep it up hope to see more
Only peasants complain about the price.
HOOKED! All the way! 😎💯
I did as Liam suggested and bought the prior TCR model (AP1)...indeed saving a crap-ton of $ (even more so than he states in the vid). And got the double sided power meter. I am an endurance rider, and I find the TCR super comfy even on long rides. Yet, it is a scalpel on the road, feeling super nimble. Is it the sexiest looking bike out there? No. But it just doesn't matter when you can tear it up with confidence and at pro peloton system weight...even without the top of the line version! (mine comes in at 7.77kg WITH pedals)
No question the Pinarello F!
What if you started with a cyclocross frame and added a mullet drive train and gravel wheels and tires? So a cyclo-mountain-gravel-road bike? And built it for $1500 and to a 21 lb weight? .... 10 years ago? Oh wait, I did that. And named it the Franken bike. Rode it in several races and on just about every conceivable surface and grades from 0% to 15%. Hey bike industry, impress me!
Finally, someone that helps me confirm what size is best for me 😂. I'm 173cm myself but had been having problems with choosing the right size. Especially with these new geometry. My bike I'm using now is a 55cm, which could be count as a 56cm back in the days
Small ultimate
Or Small TCR. I am 175(or 176 on a good day) and find myself exactly between S and M. Bought M by discount and it is ok, sometimes feels a bit bigger than perfect for me
I take a Canyon for its look.
Best gravel bike ever 👌
Awesomeness 😮love the weight 👏

The CFSLX is listed at 7.26 for a size M on the Canyon website 🤔 (with tubes) czcams.com/video/Uqk35ZqCpfI/video.html
TCR wins that shootout in every respect for me, but I did exactly what you recommended and bought the last generation with the easy to service headset and cables. One thing I do dislike about both these options is that they offer a power meter included, which is of no use to me because I immediately fit shorter cranks, so would prefer the bike came without a power meter and a cheaper price, which Giant also offered on the TCR Advanced 1 Disc Pro Compact, also with hooked rims.
Pressfit for the Win!
13:40 "acoustic bike" is a ridiculous term. mtbs are quieter than emtbs, and acoustic means sound. So acoustic should be associated with emtbs were the sound is. Just say non-emtb or something more correct rather than some wrong slang.
2:40 Is that IP67 rating new, since previous were vulnerable to water ingress?
Propel vs Aeroad in the next video (please!)?
Classy
thanks! bought the exact model. 🤙
I recently purchased a disc brake road bike (largest frame size) that weighs 7.15 kg with pedals. 😅
Which was more comfortable? Which handled better?
The answer to this question would have been very interesting indeed
Compared to my previous Sworks SL6, Ultimate comfort is about same. SL6 handles more neutral better for any rider whereas Ulimate geometry better for experienced riders who need more responsiveness IMO
Hookless only benefits the brands and literally no one else lmao stop pretending like it’s not dangerous
There's nothing wrong with hookless, the issue lies with the Obea Lotto Destny team and their shtty mechanics.
