- Due to the rain the ending had to be rushed, today I've decided to go outside and film a quick video on how to make your bike louder! Go check out my BMX GiveAway in my last video or go Follow Me on Instagram to see more!

You know what? Running a car engine without motor oil makes the engine louder, too. Question is for how long.
3-7 minutes before they engine gets hot and stiff and blows up lmao
I have seen that video lol left me quite surprised
What piston rings?
It may worn if there's no grease.
Lmao
I did this to my bike and when I started riding it exploded and now my city is missing like 5 blocks
Needle Media he's joking
How did u survive
Lmao. Hub went kablamo.
Liess
So exaggerated. It was 4 blocks
Note, grease doesn't build up with time. The grease is what protects your bearings from wear. The removal of the grease will just make a hub a time bomb waiting for it to explode. Seeing that is an Odyssey rim and hub doing that is going to end up costing you some money. If it hasn't yet, it will.
NEVER use WD-40 on a bike! It's a degreaser and not a lubricant. Use something like TriFlow or chain lube.
Warning ⚠️ following the ideas in this video will definitely mess up your hub and can lead to injury. Think: 3' tall ledge or more and you drop off it after doing this. Most people don't have a clue without doing this if the internals are good let alone setting them up for a ton of wear fast. And your hub blows sending you flying. Broken teeth maybe or more. Just saying hopefully even 1 person reads this and won't do it
M Davis Wd-40 is not a degreaser lol
You may want to read the can and google what it is for. Ask your local bike shop. If you don't know that most of them have a running joke about WD40 and bikes. That's why they launched a full WD40 line for bikes.
M Davis google is not always right wd-40 is a lubricant. Oil is a thicker lubricant. Grease is one of the thickest lubricants.
Degreaser removes oil and grease from a surface, if you use Wd-40 on a hinge it will lubricate it. If you use exports degreaser or any degreaser on a hinge it will start to rub and make sounds and eventually seize.
20,000 subs with 1 video challenge It's a solvent not a grease. Your talking about a door hinge. It coats it like oil, however it is not something you want to put on a bike. No google is not always right, but everyone seems to use it so I said to google it. I have been riding a long time and know if you put stuff like WD40, 3 in 1 oil, vasaline in a bike hub it breaks down. WD40 like oil won't mix with oil. And at temperatures that hubs internals can reach (depending on what and how you ride) it thins out. Grease gets thinner also but not to the degree of the 3 I mentioned. That's why WD40 launched a bike line. They knew people would use their products seeing they had been already. Yet bike shops wouldn't touch a bike with it. It isn't safe in original form for that application. Most good shops have don't have original WD40 in their shop. Of the 3 near me none have a single can, but all 3 have the new line for bikes.
20,000 subs with 1 video challenge Or read this:
WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver. The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components. And the effect doesn't last. WD-40 can be a good substance to start with - it can help clean up rust or other grime.
Taken from the WD40 site/explication of how it works
good way to ruin your hub. there's grease in there for a reason.
i feel bad for any one who watches this video and thinks its a good idea.
true, its not good to keep messing with the oil
TOMeightoh lol i agree
Yes, this needs the grease, so it wears less fast
why don't you take some spokes off the rim and bend them so they hit the bike frame and make your bike sound even cooler?
Mitchell Abbott no...
Chris Collins BMX lmao
Mitchell Abbott
Best comment ever.
Mitchell Abbott cause it make it go slower and it scratches the bike and bends the rim
That’s not the sound we are going for, however, super effective. Lol that shit was funny
And im here watching how to make cassettes louder when I ride a freecoaster
Who asked
Lol
Same
Same
Noki Schaaf shut up bitch ahh
Who asked u to comment bitch ahh
Grease doesn't build up over time 😂
If I had a dollar for every "you guys".....
WTF ??? bmx people want louder but roadys and mtbikers want quiter ???
naah mtber want louder too and roadies are gay nobody cares
MJM Productions the reason they want quiet hubs isnt for the noise its because hubs with more engagement points are usually louder and cause more drag, and road bikers want the least drag possible, if you ever see a hub like a profile elite it doesnt spin for very long because it has a lot of drag. If the hubs that were loud had little drag im sure road bikers would choose them but they want all the speed they can get
MJM Productions and some mtbers want quiet hubs some want loud hubs, shimano released a silent hubs recently that has decent engagement for a mtb hub and it seems to sell pretty well but so does the i9 hubs and other loud hubs, its really preference
Not all bmxers like it I have a free coaster which goes way faster due to it not having any drag
@@carebearvlogs9391 not true, it does not make a noticable difference
I have more grease in my sprocket than there is at a 'Grease the musical'. I like a quiet ticking but have an old Haro with the flip/flop wheel(which amazes a lot of people still) ,It has a nice loud sound. It's the sound of precision engineering and it is a satisfying sound to the ear. Precision engineering.
that earl sweatshirt grief transition was dope my guy
I was gonna do it on my old dk frames old rim because my odyssey hub is wrecked. but im using the old original dk rim now because I cant buy a new one. is this a bad idea sense it could break?
Bro. Your channel is awesome. My hub locked up after 8 years. The bike shop told me it’s better to replace the whole wheel. I saw your other video where you said bike shops will say that so the customer will buy a new wheel. I went ahead and ordered a new wheel. My current wheel I will probably buy a KHE hub and have a bike shop swap them out. Thank you for your commentary.
Thanks boss
It's easier just to use clothespins to hold playing cards in your spokes.
Lol
Or just use tape :)
Or a crushed pop can or water bottle between the frame and wheel! Lol
Nice vid. Great editing. Am now subscribed
I'm a bike mechanic at a bike shop and cleaning out the grease in the hub isn't going to break it. some companies like Profile even recommend keeping your hub driver as dry and clean as possible. However in doing so it doesn't make your hub louder or any less quiet. Also do not recommend over tightening lock rings or cones (driver bolt) and it just puts more stress on the bearings. For sealed hubs the bearings themselves have grease in the seals and that's what will lubricate your hub the grease you see that builds up in your hub is excess and grime and dust that builds up in your hub after use.
Be sure to check out my CZcams channel for videos and Subscribe I will be getting into videos like this in the near future
Jared Ennis you the biggest dumb ass its thar to keep dirt out and it doez mack it louder if thar is no grees like just think adout it lol :-))
Daryk Overall Lol cheers bud
Daryk Overall fuck me your Spelling's shit!.
Lol bro you sounded so pissed when you made this haha but hella good tips bro like the other vids to
i just watched this for fun but thumbs up to you for making this with your hand in a cast
Do bearings have to be in with it mine has bearings i took them out because it collopsed.
AYYYYY I NOTICED THE GRIEF BEAT YOU GOT GOOD TASTE
Great video man very informative and funny at times. You are getting a subscribe and like from me also a comment. Nice Job with the video now I can have a loud sprocket on my bmx bike😈
Alright man
Idk why I'm watching this I have a freecoaster😂
+Needle Media maybe it's because I love your vids😜
would it not be better to do this on a new bike after riding it for a day or two?
Hey I want to start filming motocross ,skateboarding ,snowboarding,wakeboarding ,surfing ,bmx,vlog,day in the life's videos and I would love to know what are some tips I can do to start I have and I phone 5 and a GoPro hero 3+ black edition with a selfie stick that goes to 20" and I have a Apple Mac pc but I don't know what software to use or how to make good videos or don't know if I should use I phone or GoPro or what I need ?
what tires do you have
If you really want it to sound loud, you can try sawing the front fork until only a small piece of metal holds the wheel. Then you just have to do a 360 on the quarterpipe, and trust me, the noise will get everyone's attention!
is that rim good for tailwhips or you know and good rims for tailwhips cause i snaped my rim
Cleaning out the old grease is a good idea because is can get gunked up and contaminated but you should always put fresh grease back in, never run anything dry
Is it the samething on a singel speed mountain bike?
Needle media can you tell me when I rode this why did my back wheel explode and fall of?
that extra drag tho? that like riding with a brake pad rubbing slightly
Any chance your next vid could be on How to make vlog louder 😎
What is the part that makes that sound a hub or a free wheel
Nicceeee earl sweatshirt background music
Why would you remove the grease that lubes your pawls just to make it louder???
As you said it will damage your bike resulting in the need for a complete new hub.
I did this and my entire axle snapped gg good info
Ps.. it was an 80 dollar hub
When i try to take the locknut thing off, the axle spins and i can't undo it?
hey what is the guard name u have on ur spokes ?
Utake of that thing take the grease off and the grease of in the inside you put it back in then you tightened the bearings and its all good?
But mine is way too difficult to do because yours is different than mine\:
I have a free coaster but this is still entertaining!
Does this work with freecoasters?
Does this work with free coasters
this broke my driver now i need to get a new one thanks g
Did you break your arm the same way you broke your peg?
what kind of bike do u have
What wheels r those or rim
nice song bro, earl
Thanks for the help!
why would you want to make it louder ? where has the grease been building up from ? its there for a reason. not seen a freewheel like that before normally are bigger and screw on the outside of the threaded part of hub.
Is this a good thing or bad thing to do
To turn the spring in the hub is a good idea but please leave the grease there if so it wil brobay work fine
does it work.
I have like a 13 tooth sprocket in the back how do I take that off
Instructions unclear, scooter got stuck in whales bowels.
Yeaaaaaa guyyyyyyy
what hub running
I have a 2015 GT bk signature series bmx. What’s cool about it, I ordered a front black folding basket from Walmart for under 20 bucks. I do Uber eats deliveries downtown Dallas. It’s a nice hustle. I also have a nice black delivery bag that fits in the basket.
Awesome!
what is a unsealed freewheel ty
This is how you make your back wheel stop spinning!
Fashion Never Function !!! Yah let's review recommend to dry out the one part of the bike that helps you move!!!!!! Hey Needle, Where's your video on how to start smoking cigarettes or how about the one on poking tiny holes in your inner tube ?!??!?
Does this work for freecoasters 😅
you can just sellotape a card to the frame so it hits the spokes when the wheel goes round or what i use to do when younger was put a drink can in the back wheel so it sounded like a motorbike.
I like that earl beat
were those pegs plastic...?
Hey bro I need to know how to install a frunt brake on my bike
it works on freecoaster?:))
Can you help do mine it sound like low
Another new trend is to tighten half of the spokes and and loosen the other half to make it louder, you cal also mount a chainsaw to the stem for extra loudness
why would you want ur bmx louder?
Catz Lover cause we get off on it
+InvaderGaming ?
So pedestrians can hear you coming from behind them.
EsotericOccultist oooooh tnx!
The faster it clicks demonstrates the speed you're travelling at, people use it for tricks...
how to make it softer?
Yt wants to annoy me in some way. When i first build my bike, i fell in love of my noiseless hub (entry level, 8-9 speed, center lock disc brake shimano hub). Just got intrigued at first, but later i end up liking it a lot. Noiseless bike is a goal rn, kinda impossible with the sound of the tires, but aside from that, is quite silent.
PD: i hate loud hubs
All the old grandmas be complaining about the noise so ima do this and see their reaction
song????
I hear earl boiiiiiii
wath is your app to make your video?
+Needle Media Thanks!^^
Nice
I think it's a very good tutorial.
At all "the haters", who are simply writing shit in the comments...: You don't f*cking need to see it in case you don't like it. If you can't listen to his advice and mean he's doing something wrong well... Get yourself some ears man! 😂.
Nice Greetings from Vienna/Austria
Grief👌🏾
First American I've ever heard say Allan key instead of fucking Allan wrench ahah thank god ! This dude actual alright
Do you know any way with out tools ? Thanks
you can use duct tape or two quarters
lol y on earth would I want my bike to be louder I already wish I could have a ruberised chain so I don't hear anything when I'm cursing down a hill
Hey earl sweatshirt grief playing I the backgroung!
What ever happened to a playing card clothes pined on. (Playing card used for poker and clothes pin is used to hang wet clothes on a wire line to dry, just incase some didn't know lol)
i didnt intend to use a freecoaster but i didnt know kink switch came with it n i do not want to go back to casette i enjoy no noise from my bike lmao
Earl sweatshirt fan? 👌
Put 3 in 1 oil in the bearings to keep them good and not explosive
this does work,i tested it,but its pretty risky to do so i kept mine the way it was out of the factory....
Is this safe to do without breaking any thing on the hub
Thank you
thank u it helps
never use wd40 on your hub unless you don't care about your bike. Wd40 is a degreaser use on your chain to clean it then put fresh clean oil back in the chain.
What pegs are that?
Odyssey
you're just fucking up your bike
you dont have to cuss ya know
+Mask Boy I do have to fucking cus this video is dumb
does it last long
The sound: yeah, it'll last as long as you don't grease the hub
The hub: no, this dramatically decreases the life of the hub
I remember back in my day it was the quieter the better. Now its the louder the better.
Kid: step one, take off your back wheel...
Me: but do I really want a louder bike?
Frfr you are only cleaning off the paws and contact points not the bearings the paws and contact points make the sound and don't forget to cleen off the spring and spring bed to allow better echo
Is my hub broken becouse I cant hear anything
thanx i luv my bmx
