I am bicycle mechanic on my own, and I have Peugot from 85 and with full golden arrow group set. And I can tell one thing. Servicing Old school bicycles is really nice thing to do. It's like restoring some artwork from old days.
Very thoughtful and deliberate approach to matching the material, its purpose and best lubricant for them. I always look forward to seeing your work.
Hopefully that answered the questions you had Craig, we appreciate your comments as always🚲
Fantastic Cycle with a long history. Great to see it rebuilt by Lee and of course in safe hands 🍷🐝💤
Great description of the greases and explanation of application. The world of grease and lubes is extensive and this helps.
Thanks for that! I wasn't sure before about using "copper slip," but it'll now be added to my garage ASAP.
This is excellent advice from the expert.
Finally watched this, enthralling.
Now you know what we use!
Please don't use copper anti-seize on stainless steel threads or fasteners as it contributes to solder embrittlement or inter-crystaline of the thread flanks. Best to use non-metallic (boron nitride) or nickle.
Love your stuff!
Ithink that a few people do that grease applications...you are one of those ..perfection.
Thanks Mark2Roll 🧡
@@Bikespeeds YoU know THAT actually youtube and videos like yours... became schoοl of learning in D.I.Y.
Great video! Still don't understand why this channel does not have 1M subscribers... I'm.sure it's only a matter of time
We really appreciate the comment Thomas! That would be the dream, thank you for watching and supporting because it’s you guys that will get us there🧡🚲
Quality content. Thanks
Just seen you do it in the video,Thanks
You referred to the bike as a lovely old bike as if it was yours, that shows you really care.
Hi, thank you for your videos, they are so good and helpful. I'm thinking of rebuilding my STI 5600 10 speed shifter, because no matter what I do (adjusting, changing cables and housings, adjusting rd hanger, changing jockey wheels on rd, changing chain and cassette), fourth and fifth gears are not changing correctly. Can STI shifter worn out? Can I put disassembled STI shifter parts to ultrasonic cleaner? And what lubricate to use when assembling STI shifter? Thank you.
Using copper slip on steel on steel contact points shouldn't be an issue. Aluminium and copper on the other hand is a big no-no - Aluminium will deteriorate. See galvanic corrosion.
Copper slip is used in places where you need a lot of heat resistance, i.e. there is no reason to use it on a bicycle.
Use ceramic/ptfe grease and have zero worries about galvanic corrosion.
amazing TUT considering you got it done during an earth quake
What a nice video
Thanks!🧡
good work :)
I love the syringes. I'm going to have to pick up some and pack them with grease.
We will soon be selling them on our website a month or two from now🧡
Copper slip is a poor choice on Aluminium. Better to use a ceramic antiseize to avoid electrolytic problems if you must, but to be honest normal grease works fine.
With you on the Shimano grease, its good stuff. Mobil xhp 222 blue grease is also pretty good ans a bit thicker than the Shimano, good for winter bike hubs etc.
Have you considered using a proper parts cleaner on parts? There are even some bench top ones around. That would give you pumped circulating cleaner through a nice brush all contained in a unit.
Excellent Video and Advice, just wondering how long most greases last in their sealed containers ? If anyone can shed some light on this I would be very grateful 😁👍💚
Good video, what grease do use to install headset races into carbon cups? Also I find neat Screwfix degreaser aggressive on anodising and special coatings, do you dilute it in the sonic bath?
I always favour cooper grease on sealed bearings in a carbon cup & through experience we get a feel for what can and can’t go in the degreaser, we have more than one cleaner and will use one with a regular soap based cleaner too.
I was surprised to see you clean up and re-use the ball bearings instead of replacing them. Perhaps you only replace them if they are damaged? Many thanks
Very well
Great video & channel in general!
Do Oxford sell the syringe applicator for the light oil or did you make it?
I buy them on line and fill them. Just search “blunt needle syringes”
@@Bikespeeds what "gauge" needle do you use?
Another fantastic video - Quick question... is the detergent in the ultrasonic cleaner used only once or can you keep it in for multiple bikes/components?
You can use it many many times over though it should be changed and cleaned out regularly enough, otherwise you end up with a silt that just sits in the cleaner, you’ll get to the stage when you know it’s time to wash out
@@Bikespeeds Perfect, thank you!
For those that we like to do our own maintenance… what is the life of the greases and lubricants? Do they have any expiry date? Thanks for the channel!!
The typical shelf life of grease and oils is 5 years, then they usually discolour or smell.
Hello Bikespeeds! How many liter is your Ultrasonic Cleaner?
What chain cleaner spray do you use, Lee? Thanks, mate. Great channel
It’s part of the Oxford Mint range
@@Bikespeeds Thanks, Lee. Keep up the good work
Hi there mate, great video. What is that spray you use at 6:08 on the cone/cup area of the wheel hub and what is that spray for? Wondering which brand you use so I can also buy it, cheers.
That is a degreaser spray that will soon be available on our coming website, thanks!🧡
@@Bikespeeds Thank you I appreciate that!
Hello Lee I've learned masses from your videos. Big thanks. My Specialized Dolce isn't quite right so I'm about to attempt her headset service. I think the bearings are sealed. Just rewatched a couple of your videos which included headset service but the bearings aren't sealed. Do you still use Shimano Premium grease for a headset with sealed bearings? Or another grease? I realise you're very busy and may not have time to reply. Thank you TE
We now use our own premium grease that will soon be coming to our website but shimano still works great🧡
@@Bikespeeds Thank you Lee. Wishing you well with your online store
i get confused about chain lubes when to use wet or dry , how much lube on a chain, how often to lube etc seems to be many opinions that contradict each other, what do bikespeeds recommend
It can be over complicated… wet lube always works, dry lube can work if you’re keen on maintaining it. The routine of how often/ when is personal preference.
What you want to advice is building up a paste. Dry lube is better for that but if you clean a wet chain when needed it’ll work just as well for you⚙️
would you use copper slip on a cassette to a free hub ?
I don't see why not, but I tend to use a regular grease for that as all you're trying to do is stop any dissimilar metal corrosion happening.
@@Bikespeeds Do you need to grease the cassette body at all? The fitting between cassette and freehub body is not very tight, and the parts do not move against each other.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Yes, because you want to stop corrosion. Lubrication is not the factor here
Stainless steel with copper anti seize aint match or just ok?
It is ok, but unless you use good one better to use ceramic or nickel based one. If heat separates the grease then you might have issues, that will not happen on a bike, generally
Very informative video. Would you do a review on @GreenOil UK bike products? I've been wanting to get products to maintain my bike but am new to this. I was looking for environmentally friendly products and came across those. I would love your opinion. Thank you
I’ve not seen them. None of my suppliers list these. Sorry.
Thank you for checking. They have a UA-cam channel @GreenOilUK but are there environmental products you recommend for bike cleaning and maintenance?
I’ve used the green oil chain lube, seems to work as well as other brands I used in the past, works well through the winter, and smells nice as well sort of aniseedy.
The grease didn’t seem to work or last that well, I swapped back to cheap marine grease bought off ebay when the tube was empty.
Where can I get an oil syringe and applicator please?
Ebay it's just a regular syringe with a blunt tiped needle
Ask your local general practitioner, you might get a few for free.
Please answer my question. What did you use on the cassette hub? Where you place the balls at
Copper slip = copper grease?
Yes. I grew up around Rally cars & my Dad always called it Copper Slip. It just stuck as a figure of speech.
@@Bikespeeds thanks for sharing!
Your copper based grease is the WORST thing you can use on a bicycle!
It is intended for high-temperature applications like in combustion engines. Copper and aluminum don't mix. Your copper based grease will greatly increase the electrochemical contact corrosion with aluminium. Why don't you use standard titanium based montage paste like endless other bike shops?
