@@tracklocrossyeg well he lubes the chain and then shifts through the gears. I’d assume you know if your gears are working the ride before. They don’t just magically break.
@@tracklocrossyegyou literally aren't understanding. The chain already got lubed. As soon as you start to ride, the chain is going to work itself through the gears.
dont know about others but i cant be @arsed to clean my bike when iv just got home, must be getting lazy in my old age lol just noticed i replied to a year old post, christ i really am getting old lol
Remove your seat when you lock your bike that way thieves will think twice before they rob your bike. Get a quick release seat clamp make a scrape mark on the seat pipe so you immdiatly know what height setting carry a small rope so when you remove your seat tie it to the back of your back pack. And especially if you have anti theft skewers on both wheels and hex lox nuts on the stem and other important parts. Your very protected then. also use 2 locks
Nicely done and nice bike. I love Rock N Roll chain lube. Don’t forget to check suspension sag/pressure, brakes work/wear, bolts are tight, and inspect the frame.
I think this is pretty much illusional... If there is huge dirt on the chain: fine, go for it. But most of the wear results from the dirt inside the chain pieces and between those and the toothes of the chain rings. So simply rubbing with a towel and degreaser on it over the chain mostly only wipes superficial dirt..
For sure, you need a chain cleaning device (or a bottle) and chemicals. I do this 1-2x a year. Maybe after a really messy race. But not before every ride.
@@fpeter01 also depends on wet vs dry lube, if you use dry you should reaplie every time it gets wet. But yea even for me who will race up to 10x a year and rides at least once a week, meybe 4 times a year with a deep clean
These bleeders are pointless to push before a ride bro. It's for long descends where pressure can build up with rising oil temp. Before a ride there's no pressure at all.
I have just subscribed to your channel and I'm very impressed. I have been meaning to clean my chain thinking it would take me ages, now I know it won't take as long. Keep up the great videos 😁
@@seymourtompkins just before make sure it dried completely. it has silicon grease but leave very thin layer, it's not enough for hard working mechanisms
One thing is don’t cycle through the gears cuz if there is dirt on them it will get on the chain and it with make the more likely to get dirt stuck on to them
And unless you ride in the PNW or in parts of Europe where it's always raining and wet, use dry formula chain lube. It keeps your drivetrain way cleaner than wet or any of the "both" formulas. Way easier to maintain.
Thanks I was gifted a Mongoose Caan Elite 2008 I barely found out what kinda bike it was but I'm 6 foot tall and it's a medium now I wanna see how a large size bike feels. I used to go to dirt roads as kid in a huffy when I was innocent and had no worry. Good old days
This is not what you should be doing BEFORE every ride, rather after every ride, waiting to clean off the dirt untill your next ride means you just allow these substances to corrode everything while it's sitting there, especially for the chain. if water got on the chain and it washed away the lube and you wait untill he next ride to clean and relube the chain might have already started rusting. The fork, shock and dropper don't really matter much when you clean them as much but it's still better to do it after a ride rather than before. Exept tire pressure, that should be done before
I hate loud hubs. Only good its for is letting hikers know ur coming bye but i usually need my timber mtb bell for most idiots. I want to sneek outa my apartment in silent or ride trails at night in silet and not make it obvious i have a pricey bike with all that noise
onyx hubs for quiet, I’ve had mine for a while now and I really love it. 0 complaints. I9 hubs are phenomenal quality but there is only 1 pawl being engaged at any point. Dt240,350, 370 are the stronger hub but I believe are a bit heavier ? except 240.

No need to change the gears during chain lube

Lube the chain before every ride? Are you kidding me.
You don’t need to shift through the gears btw, it’s called chain lube for a reason not cassette lube.
Yea pointless to make sure it shifts properly right
@@tracklocrossyeg well he lubes the chain and then shifts through the gears. I’d assume you know if your gears are working the ride before. They don’t just magically break.

The ABCs I taught my kids:
A: air in the tires and shocks?
B: brakes - do they work?
C: chain - does it shift and is it lubed?
D: dust your stanchions
Read the instructions on the bottle, most chain lines are supposed to be applied at least 4 hours before riding.
it’s not at least unless you’re using some dry lubes. they recommend 3-4 hours but you can get by with leaving it on for 10 minutes
@@sufyanm4661 You can but this is why your drivetrain attracts dirt.
quick bolt check with a torque wrench is also very useful
You're supposed to do that after every ride not before. When you're done prep your machine for next use, don't wait for next use and then scramble.
Saved me typing that 👍 much less likely to do it if your rushing to get out the door.
Good to know thanks!

same, i usually just clean my bike first thing the day after i have a long ride
You edit this one with luma?
Yeah it has all the zoom in features and transitions im liking it a lot
Pro tip:
Wipe the dirt upwards on your suspension to avoid forcing dirt and grip into the seals. 👍

Really should be after every ride not before. Then you can check for any damage after your ride and fix it before your next.
Congrats on your 2nd short at 1Million views!! Keep it up bro!!💪🏻
Thanks 🤘🤘
Nice forks the new DH Boxxes for 24 are something new without the bladder
If you have white goo in your tires rotate them untill the valve is down. Otherwise goo can rin down and clog it

the hub sounds so cool
That cassette noise jesus
Hey, jus wanna say that free hub audio is amazing
My entire drivetrain is just a big oily, dirty mess BUT it shifts like a dream and never has problems even when treating it bad lol
dont shift through the gears
His mother : I have an heart attack.Take to doctor to our house.
Le this man:
Once a week or so you need to use degreaser as well, otherwise the old dirt lube inside the chain that doesn't get picked up by a cloth will build up.
the lube he was using does that for the most part, its like half degreaser half wax based lube its great. but yeah for most cases youre right
degreaser on the chain? what brand do you recommend
@@calebday6988 I use krush ultra degreaser but you can use any. Muc-off, finish line and park tool is good as well.
WD-40 is a degreaser/penetrant and is fine. Just use a lubricant after.
@@seymourtompkins just before make sure it dried completely. it has silicon grease but leave very thin layer, it's not enough for hard working mechanisms

Me and you have a similar setup. I'm rocking a fox 38 and Onyx hubs. Sweet silent speed demon.
i never cleaned my mtb😅 even i used kitchen oil for chain, so broke i was! 😂
Watching this made me realize how much I neglected my specialized hard tail, especially during mudy rides 😭
Sick bike and good video I use the same lube
🤤 that i9 bliss
Thanks for the tip 👍
Good idea for road too !
Bike sounds great
Beautiful bike 😮
Awesome vid u earned a sub
Doing it every ride is a bit excessive, pros recommend every 3-5 rides before you relube a chain but you have the cleaning down!
One thing is don’t cycle through the gears cuz if there is dirt on them it will get on the chain and it with make the more likely to get dirt stuck on to them
Nice cycle
Imagine ur hand between the sprocket and the chain

Only the chain u should clean and forget about the rest of your drivetrain? Genius!

If it was light riding yes, but for most riding the chain needs to be cleaned by the park tool cleaner
I do this after each ride because the bike is just to dirty to put away. Plus it's easier to work on

That cleaning chain part is not a good idea the rollers just get filled with grime and slow you down. A good chain cleaning is a once a month concern.
Clean and lube the chain after your ride so it has time to soak in
Every ride...... You're funny 😂
love to see it
Congratulations you just lubricated your cassette! Never understood why people think they need to do this.

Hey, the bike I’ve been working on has had a lot of studdering when it changes gears, it gets worse as I lower the gears and less when I go a gear up
Bros got the nasa bike
You should also grab the disc brake and yank on the spokes
The way your pressing the bleeder valves won’t release any air you need to use a small allan key or your nail so the air can still escape.
Nice bike bro. I do all that when i get home after a ride. I dont put it away wet
I wish I could afford a bike like that
I haven't such a cycle🚲 but I watched full video
You just made going for the ride more work than actually riding
Not forgetting he has his own bike stand for a minute. This not possible in most positions otherwise.
I cant even ride my mountain bike down the street because everyday I buy new tubes and get flats.
U forget to lub your chain again 😂
Nah I love hearing it crack as I go up hill.
Dude wanna keep his bike safe till heavenl
I do so before each ride, for 12 Years.
