      Some higher end bikes will have what’s called a thru axle which is different, but for most common bikes a regular quick release axle like in the video is standard! There’s lots of material online walking you through the differences if you’re new

    Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. So many videos do the wheels with the disc brakes. I wish I could tip the video. Also the cone nuts that came with the replacement kit were twice as narrow as the cone nuts that were in the bike. Using the kit’s cone nuts the front wheel was wobbly. Using the original cone nuts fixed the problem.

    I’ve watched quite a few bike cleaning ultrasonic videos now and everyone forgets that an ultrasonic cleaner is not only for bikes, there are many other tasks you can put to use for. Cleaning reading glasses, sink dirt catches. The dishwasher filter. So in analyzing whether it’s worth it, you should also take that into account. Also three or 4 L may be better for occasional use.

      @Walshibikes 2 місяці тому

      Same process but a bit more complicated to measure. Rear wheel hubs aren’t all necessarily centred since one side needs to accommodate the width of your freehub/freewheel. The rear spokes are also dished asymmetrically for this reason. It’s possible, but make sure you measure the original distance between your hub and frame dropouts so that the new axle can go back in exactly the same spot

    Love the Hammer. Used to ride that loop way back when, before bike lanes and trails. Took the stairs up (a choice of several, something else Hamilton should be appreciated for) and Beckett down (although Jolly Cut was fun too). Never in rush hour obviously. If you timed it right, between clusters of cars, you'd have that downhill adrenaline rush all to yourself. Hard left at the bottom was nervy, especially if there were any upbound traffic, pedals up and don't touch that curb. The cycling infrastructure in the Hammer is actually quite good and getting better all the time. Thanks for the memories Issac.

    • @Walshibikes
      @Walshibikes 2 місяці тому

      Sounds fun! Lately my favourite loop is to climb the Brantford Rail Trail to Dundas, and then descend back down Govenors Rd. That spits you out towards McMaster where I ride through campus and Westdale, then down to princess point and around the waterfront. Finally you can finish riding through downtown to get back wherever you started. It’s about 30km and it gives you a perfect mix of riding conditions and Hamilton scenery. Highly recommend!

      On a rear wheel, the lever would be on the non-drive side so that it doesn’t interfere with the derailleur. It’s customary to match the front wheel lever location to the same side, but it’s not required

    Hey Isaac, I really admie your work here. That bike has obviously been well maintained. Just one suggestion though, you should put a light film of grease on the spindle before you insert it, so there is some form of a barrier between the spindle and bearing faces. Same with the BB threads. A thin film of grease there might save you a lot of heartache down the road.

    Love the bike design ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
