No more dropped chains?

I have a 1x8 with a narrow wide chain ring and a non-clutch derailleur and my bike suffers from a lot of dropped chains.

Stupid question but what size pedals do you need to fit into the crank? Are all pedals interchangeable now with modern bikes or do you need a correct size?
Can I ask what your long term feedback is as I’m looking for some. Thanks in advance.
aluminum will not rust dude lol
You have been had dude.
Tell me more? I found one in better but not best condition. Is it crap for $400
@@nunyabusiness3082 let's just say you could have did a lot better
When is the new episode coming?
What people choose a german car to drive… 🤦🏻♂️
I like that you’ve shown that even the old bike is able to have new life…. However… I’ve got some advice for the build ..you should tighten the “plastic screw” into that Deore crank shaft firstly, and then tighten screws on the crank arm to lock It in place….. (truvativ also used to make these cranks with selfextracting bolt…. unfortunately that’s missing on the original firex cranks that came with that bike)…
Your gal looks so happy to be on the trip..🤣🤣
Thanks Enjoying your videos 👍
I've bought black ones. Everything is great except paint chipping after about 2-3 months. After 2 years they look awful.
It’s also good practice to move the handle brakes to different angles, to allow for trapped air bubbles to escape. Also, add a dab of fluid to the bleed screw-hole before replacing the screw, this will help to prevent air from being pushed into the system from under the bleed screw. After it’s tightened, there should be some residual fluid that you’ll need to wipe off with a paper towel or rag.
Hello. I have a decision to make, perhaps you could assist: I need to choose one of these 2 options as my next MTB: Option 1: used canyon lux (2016 model carbon fiber, sram xx1, 11x1) condition "ok". Option 2: New Polygon T7. Both options are at the same price. The reason that I'm considering the polygon is that I am worried that the 6 year old xx1 might get too old, and to fix it would cost a fortune. Can anyone please give me some tips what should I do? I ride mostly XC. I will appreciate your input very much!
Don't use thin cone spanners on pedals they'll cut into the pedal and round off the face eventually making it a nightmare to remove them esp if over tightend always use a good quality made 15mm spanner 👍
you are my hero... work on the parquet .... this is love!!
No cleaning of old grease and regreasing?
You are supposed to push the plastic bits the rubber strap clips onto, into the foam. They arent supposed to be loose like that. 👍
So how'd they hold up?
U have just gained a subscriber I love the build and I am looking at a calibre bossnut to do a budget build on
I changed my rear shock myself for the first time recently. Take the back wheel off, it will take the extra weight off the frame so when you remove the shock the frame won't fall.
Decent Bike Rack
Nice
How is this process compare to the full bleed where the caliper at the wheel get drain and bleed?
Thanks for the video. So if I understand correctly you do not inject oil at the stirrup, but you simply operating the lever? And it works to remove all the air?
Be happy what you have ✌️
Looks mint in blue just ordered blue had black but paint come off but still nice blue
How tf do u connect the chest mount
Do these offer support as well as protection? I have pretty worn knees so looking for support too. Thanks!
Please tell me you're American and moved here when you were young or something? Nothing worse than a fake American accent
I had this system in my garage. Pain in the ass.
Last year I bought 2016 giant stance for 500 dlls , and only change from 2x9 to 1x11 and new tires
Great, simple vid. Thanks!
i just get the jetwash on mine. tbh it is a hardtail so probably not as complex
Sure those jockie wheels aren't worn ?
got an amazing deal on a polygon n9 frame for 425. fox shock included
I don't need a budget I just broke to my neighbors bikeshop to get the bike I want, If he call the cops i'll shoot him
Thanks , very helpful
Where u been hiding the last 7 months I miss these videos!
I love Blazing Saddles, try this, complete it only using pumping, it's very possible, I've done it a few times, will keep you off the brakes and push boundaries a bit but nothimg crazy. Not enough pumping by most mtb riders
I've just picked up a 2016 SC Heckler for £700! Some trick bits on it too Bargains are out there Off to send it 🤙
Just got a 2016 Voodoo Canzo for 300 quid!
Does this for old hayes brakes?
So I ended up getting almost the same bike. I got a fsr xc expert. And you helped Me get my crank off with out the puller. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I am going to get this for my bikes.
Love that build. Thank you for this video.
Boardwalk trail is now called Zipper :D
The levers are to take your inner tubes off, so that you can wash inside the tyres and the wheels, of course! Without that, you can't say your bike is clean! Just kidding!😂😂 Nice video!
Great job my brother ,thank you.
Good job on the build 👍 those Specialized Pitch mtbs were really great! I actually really wanted one back in the day and would still love to rock one now! But yeah man rock it until it breaks! I still ride my 2011 Giant Trance all the time. I’ve upgraded every TJ I get and it just keeps going. Same thing with this pitch, keep it up and it’ll keep moving. Dropper post would make a huge difference, PNW are fairly inexpensive and really solid!
Nice video mate, dropped you a sub! I love this trail. I'm up here every week, will keep an eye out for the bike next time I'm up there 👍
well done
