I could listen to Calvin all day .such a passionate knowledgeable guy and a credit to park tools and if I'm honest the main reason I got in to buying park tools .
A legend
Agree, me too
Same👍
is there anyone who hates that guy lol
every video peopel love him
Park Tools' spokesman😉
Calvin is such a natural teacher, a true imparter of knowledge. Great to watch and listen to.
Jim, that's right and I didn't hear one peep out of him about climate change and how we're all going to die in 12 years.
J4000x why bring politics into this discussion- sparky
Yes! that`s is the point, he is a natural teacher.
A very good teacher.
@@MrJx4000 😶🌫
WoW. He takes off with a live audience.
I had a professor like Calvin when I was in college. I literally took every class he offered- two of which had nothing to do with my major. Cal, keep doing your thing man!
finding someone that has natural ability to teach is awe inspiring. i totally understand going out of your way to learn from that person
Well "spoken."
John Tyler noice
You have got to be kidding me
we're inside on the computer when we should be outspoken around
Entertainer, educator. Calvin is the man of so many trades.
That's why park tools loves him
There's always that one know-it-all who won't shut up from the front row...
Sounds like seth bike hacks
@@lukasagnevik1974 That's what I was thinking, too. He's exactly the kind of guy that would do that, too.
You guys do know he's literally asking them to give answers right
@@tonisbalonis4823 It's okay to ask the audience, but I'm not talking about the audience as a whole, I'm talking about that one guy who shows up at all of these kinds of events, and is genuinely annoying and disruptive for the sake of his own narcissistic interests.
Absolutely brilliant...Calvin is in his element out of the studio. Roll up..roll up....and very very knowledgable.
He sounds like he is teaching kindergarten kids. Priceless!
Best bike mechanic in the world. Best bike tools in the world.
2 a.m it was supposed to be movie night...watching Calvin videos instead, no regrets oh and i can't wait for the parts I ordered today to change the cassette, another master video guided by Calvin
real lesson of the day. Become a master at what you're passionate about.

Calvin is such a nice person. Would love to have all the teachers like Him. Great man.
Oh man being an engineer and a pasionate about cyclists, watching this is like relating academics to passion ... What a great apetite to mind and heart ❤️ ...
In the space of his studio, he is a passionate educator but with a tendency towards some monotony, but once in the open air you get to see a different Calvin Jones. Almost an stand-up comedian. Wonderful teacher.
Thanks Calvin and Park Tools for doing such a great job teaching us. Love it!
I will love to work for free with you even for 2 days a week, but I live in the caribbean.
😮💨
I does learn so much from you all park tools guys.
I does save so much money thanks to you.
Calvin is the heart and soul of Park Tools.
I want Calvin to come cycling with me... Of course his backpack will be full of tools and spares...
dang it! It's already my sixth time breaking a spoke. At this point, I already spent more time and money replacing each broken one as compared to getting new sets of spokes on my rear wheel. Had the wheelset made less than 2 years ago.
Should have had my LBS re-lace the entire wheel with new spokes.
@@RealMTBAddict the rims are fine, the spokes not so much. I had the spokes replaced with a better set and they are doing great so far. I've riden almost 1000km since the rebuild. Mixed paved roads and single track
@@RealMTBAddict I got the same rims. Laced it with pillar racing spokes
That heckler is painful!
Seaotter is unfortunately way to far for me but I'd love to watch Calvin and Truman all day long teaching about bike tech. Your CZcams videos teaches thousands of home bike mechanics how to solve little and little bigger problems. Thanks a lot!!! Greeting from Germany 🔧
"-If you don't get broken spokes, you're not riding enough."
🚴🔥🔥🔥🔥
This guy is seriously f'n brilliant.
He genuinely knows his stuff....and can teach!
Subbed
Wow...I'm becoming a fan of Park tool :)
He's my favorite park tool guy
Had to get my rear stock wheel on my Canny Quick4 re-laced. Was popping a spoke on every other ride. DT Swiss.. Problem solved.
I like to watch this guy, he really has been teaching me a lot about the standards of tools and mechanics of your bicycles performance. I have broken five spokes in 4 months just this year alone and take it in to get a Spoke fixed and guess the mechanic just replace the nipple but I have never seen the mechanic use a Spoke tensioner. so I'm going to go in and get the whole back will be strong and insist that a Spoke tensioner be used and questioned where the tension is at to ensure that me as a customer get top-notch. I really like watching Park Tool Company
I'm riding my cheap road bike with a missing spoke. Thought of replacing, forgot and did a 60 km tour. Guess I'm good no repairs needed :) Funny thing it's a rim break road bike and the wheel is still true, I blame it on the heavy duty cheap rims.
Park Tool makes great videos! :)
He must have been a school teacher and his informative and entertaining talk deserves a much bigger crowd in real life, but I guess compensated by 120,000 crowd on youtube.
Brilliant video. Im converting some steel rims to alloy and snapped a few spokes in the process of dismantling the wheel. Even though i dont own any park tools at the moment, i use the youtube channel all the time!
calvin is a legend
"how do they bend the spoke at the end? That's right, they bend it. Don't worry about bending the spoke..." Hahahahahaaaaaa LMAO
Gotta respect the hustle 💯
I really love Calvin Jones teaching...
This guy is brilliant!
Very good videos all over the channel, they are entertaining, and they are extremely helpful in situations when you need to fix something on your bike.
Calvin is a true God of bicycles.
For my clients , buying a prefabricated wheel replacement is normally not an option . They get a prescription wheel that better meets their individual needs instead .
Calvin, please come to the New York Bike Expo!!
Simple, concise and informative.
Very instructive, as always ! :D
The only think I do complain about Park Tool is their prices. :/
When you buy quality, you only complain about the price once.
Gold video! Greetings from Colombia man✌🏻
Keep the correct spares on hand in your breakdown kit with spoke keys .
Verry nice ! Never though i would have watched this whole video but your quite a character ! Ill check more parktools videos !
Just sat in the shed truing my rear wheel for 6 hours only to overtighten a spoke and snap it. It was previously bent
A learning opportunity!
I hit a stick that took out 75% of the spokes in my rear wheel - way more of a problem than fatigue
Hmm that’s one hell of a stick! What spokes were you using?
Have a dirt jump bike and you broke a spoke near every month jumping..a bad 180 can break like 3 spoke ...
Nice one, one thing I noticed is he didn't explain that the removal of the cassette is actually a lot more difficult than it appears here (pre-loosened) due to needing to apply opposite rotational force on the sprocket whilst loosening lockring, ideally with a chain whip, an old chain or other tool.
Calvin is hilarious...🤣
I broke a rear spoke yesterday and fatigue wasn't a factor. Only had about 22 miles in on a 45 mile ride. The spoke broke in half and it was the strangest thing that ever happened to me on my bike in 50 years of riding.
Sounds like a fault in the spoke material. It happens sometimes.
Imagine if all teachers at schools is like calvin, he makes learing fun.
I wish I had your knowledge
Thank you Calvin.
Awesome & Thanks Sir 🙏🕊
that was fun to watch !! with some free gifts as well ?!?!
What the hell would we do without Park Tool?
I'm very unknowledgeable but live in New Zealand. How am I going to get my clumsy hands on a PT bottle-opener for getting things wrong?
broke a spoke !?? omg!!! buy a new bike! :D
So interesting to read the comments after learning through watching. I can't stand the presentation and admire everyone else who can get up to get the job done
Nice Bevis impression! 3:51
10out of 10for making bike repairs fun David bolton england😂😂
7:38 metric rules!
Nice demonstration 🚲🔧👍
THAT WAS A GOOD DEMO FUNNY SHOW MAN . ACTUALLY I BROKE A SPOKE I BELIEVE PUTTING THE ONE UP BIKE LOCK ON MY BIKE WHILE IT BEING ON THE RACK WITH FRICTION MOVEMENT OF MY CAR .OR IN THE WOODS ON MY FAT TIRE E BIKE. OVERALL I FOUND OUT I HAVE TWO BROKEN SPOKES SO I M NOT RIDING THANKS TO YOUR VIDEO ABOUT THE RIDE QUALITY.
Where are these being held at , would love to meet the legendary Calvin
This guy right there is the "good generation", I am a bit dreaded at this Oompa Loompa generation with purple and pink hair, that can't even make toast.
Once the guys like Calvin pass from old age...we are FOCKED, bros!
Grate teacher
great video! thanks!
Spokes can break easily if a person weights in at 185 kg but the specification says 130 kg maximum. However, even a comparable light person can break them if unevenly or unadequately tensioned.
+what also floats in water ?
-small stones ?
I broke like 8 spokes and the wheel just wobbled like a loose cone
Should have headed over to the Spinergy booth to see glass spokes, well polymer fibers in glass phase. They also erroneously claim they don't stretch, but clearly they do, as you say stretch is needed to tension a wheel. Solid silica glass would make a poor spoke as any bending would easily break it, but it's still an elastic material. Could use it as fibers, but there are better choices, such as Spinergy's.
We have a few sets of Spinergy wheels here actually. Pretty nifty.
Great job park tools ! I learn alot from them !!
15g spokes on new brizon wingflyer 16 broke on rockaway beach boardwalk; no parktool spoke threader in local bike store
7:49 or work out the spoke length by ERD of the rim
A fine [Englih] teacher.I must reo
comend him to my pupils .
So how do you get to the sea otter festival from Marina without a car??? From out of state and don't drive... Hitchhike??!
Took me 5 broken spokes before I gave up and bought a better made wheel.
Just not worth dealing with the original junk wheels.
I seem to break only j-bend spokes and no straight pull spokes. Is that a coincidence? Had a couple last year, all at the rear non-drive side braking at the bend with 3 different wheels.
I ride mountain bikes, rocks flip up and hit the spokes all the time,,,, and snap !
I broke a spoke now what?
LBS: just buy a new bike. We have a lot of good bikes you can put on credit.
Reminds me how the bike mechanic at a shop I visited didn’t know what a bottom bracket was and claims they don’t come in different lengths. He highly suggested I just buy a new bike for $5k instead of a $25 bb for my chain ring to be distant from the frame.
What breaks a spoke?
Casing a 40ft double with a hardtail.
With some types of rims you have to take off the tire because nipples are internal
MASTER!
mmm I use 24 sopkes, I have one broken already...is it 23spokes like too little spokes to ride safe? wheel already deformed like no 32 hole well will, th ematter here is that I had to order a few spokes its christmas time so I´ll get them i a few weeks probably
J'ai bien aimé . Merci . ) 👍
How I broke a spoke: drifting at 20 mph which I had done before on a thinner rim and was fine and the spokes snapped and the rim bend in half
Good video 👍
Hello, are there any seminars like this in toronto?
Calvin is the bike show rockstar! I'd love to meet him.
coming to riis park queens,long island,brooklyn?
DId he say "Could we have avoided that....Correct, by not having the kid." ? LOL
What about us that break a spoke that comes loose from the rim and half the thread of the rim comes out with the nipple? :)
What would happen if you broke a spoke and just leave it drive your bike and doesnt care about the broken spoke?
Wholesome
Frickin' hilarious!
I was driving on road my mtb for short period and than i stopped after maby 500 meters and i saw that 1 spoke was missing
Very good video , will be great if was a zoom in when actually you did the measurements.
If English is not your first language is a bit confusing
Thanks, this was a live event so capturing video was a secondary concern. We will cover this topic in greater depth in a future video.
@@parktool love your chanel, probably the best around xx
yes video for uganda
