These are on sale right now in the US. Picking mine up soon - so naturally bookmarked this for guidance when I need to service. Great video! Thank you!

[@ylana4444]

Loved the music. This guy looks ace! I Love my SL6!

[@maritimemtbadventures133]

Great video, no talking but kept my interest all the way through. Thanks for making.

[@cyberbri6899]

Yeah, I must be a mechanic, this was so soothing to me LOL!! I want one of these Checkpoints!!

[@JJ-rf7dg]

I'm hoping to get a checkpoint someday

Epic

[@Bob-ze1zo]

I really don't like the cables integrated into the headset. Switching headset bearings could be so much easier.

[@Quizmate1]

Totally agree. Seems mad that you've got to disconnect hoses, cut and thus shorten them, refit olives etc and then re bleed.........just to clean the headset!

Is it really that popular on CZcams to watch the mechanic put a bike together? I think most of us login to learn about the attributes of a bike that we’re not familiar with, its strengths weaknesses it’s best use case, features etc. Watching a guy build a bike is just not that interesting
