I could listen to Calvin all day .such a passionate knowledgeable guy and a credit to park tools and if I'm honest the main reason I got in to buying park tools .
A legend
Agree, me too
Same👍
is there anyone who hates that guy lol
every video peopel love him
Park Tools' spokesman😉
Calvin is such a natural teacher, a true imparter of knowledge. Great to watch and listen to.
Jim, that's right and I didn't hear one peep out of him about climate change and how we're all going to die in 12 years.
J4000x why bring politics into this discussion- sparky
Yes! that`s is the point, he is a natural teacher.
A very good teacher.
@@MrJx4000 😶🌫
WoW. He takes off with a live audience.
Entertainer, educator. Calvin is the man of so many trades.
That's why park tools loves him
Thanks Calvin and Park Tools for doing such a great job teaching us. Love it!
I will love to work for free with you even for 2 days a week, but I live in the caribbean.
😮💨
I does learn so much from you all park tools guys.
I does save so much money thanks to you.
Keep the correct spares on hand in your breakdown kit with spoke keys .
I'm riding my cheap road bike with a missing spoke. Thought of replacing, forgot and did a 60 km tour. Guess I'm good no repairs needed :) Funny thing it's a rim break road bike and the wheel is still true, I blame it on the heavy duty cheap rims.
calvin is a legend
Verry nice ! Never though i would have watched this whole video but your quite a character ! Ill check more parktools videos !
He must have been a school teacher and his informative and entertaining talk deserves a much bigger crowd in real life, but I guess compensated by 120,000 crowd on youtube.
Where are these being held at , would love to meet the legendary Calvin
So interesting to read the comments after learning through watching. I can't stand the presentation and admire everyone else who can get up to get the job done
I ride mountain bikes, rocks flip up and hit the spokes all the time,,,, and snap !
7:49 or work out the spoke length by ERD of the rim
With some types of rims you have to take off the tire because nipples are internal
Took me 5 broken spokes before I gave up and bought a better made wheel.
Just not worth dealing with the original junk wheels.
Thankyou, I’m fixing it myself… No shop
Hello, are there any seminars like this in toronto?
Great job park tools ! I learn alot from them !!
How I broke a spoke: drifting at 20 mph which I had done before on a thinner rim and was fine and the spokes snapped and the rim bend in half
Nice Bevis impression! 3:51
I would buy anything. Please visit my town.
What about us that break a spoke that comes loose from the rim and half the thread of the rim comes out with the nipple? :)
I just had a minor accident recently and i notice when i got home one of my spoke bended, can you still straighten it with a pliers and just true the wheel normally or do i need to replace spokes?
A small bend in a spoke may increase the tension but is typically not a major enough issue to replace a spoke.
The presenter is great! The hecklers/audience are so annoying.
Ride more and break more😬
so they give out free tools huh....., i'll be there in 20 min
This really isn't very useful
There's always that one know-it-all who won't shut up from the front row...
Sounds like seth bike hacks
@@lukasagnevik1974 That's what I was thinking, too. He's exactly the kind of guy that would do that, too.
You guys do know he's literally asking them to give answers right
@@tonisbalonis4823 It's okay to ask the audience, but I'm not talking about the audience as a whole, I'm talking about that one guy who shows up at all of these kinds of events, and is genuinely annoying and disruptive for the sake of his own narcissistic interests.
Well "spoken."

You have got to be kidding me
we're inside on the computer when we should be outspoken around

I had a professor like Calvin when I was in college. I literally took every class he offered- two of which had nothing to do with my major. Cal, keep doing your thing man!
finding someone that has natural ability to teach is awe inspiring. i totally understand going out of your way to learn from that person
broke a spoke !?? omg!!! buy a new bike! :D
Had to get my rear stock wheel on my Canny Quick4 re-laced. Was popping a spoke on every other ride. DT Swiss.. Problem solved.
2 a.m it was supposed to be movie night...watching Calvin videos instead, no regrets oh and i can't wait for the parts I ordered today to change the cassette, another master video guided by Calvin
Best bike mechanic in the world. Best bike tools in the world.
I want Calvin to come cycling with me... Of course his backpack will be full of tools and spares...
dang it! It's already my sixth time breaking a spoke. At this point, I already spent more time and money replacing each broken one as compared to getting new sets of spokes on my rear wheel. Had the wheelset made less than 2 years ago.
Should have had my LBS re-lace the entire wheel with new spokes.
@@RealMTBAddict the rims are fine, the spokes not so much. I had the spokes replaced with a better set and they are doing great so far. I've riden almost 1000km since the rebuild. Mixed paved roads and single track
@@RealMTBAddict I got the same rims. Laced it with pillar racing spokes
"how do they bend the spoke at the end? That's right, they bend it. Don't worry about bending the spoke..." Hahahahahaaaaaa LMAO
Have a dirt jump bike and you broke a spoke near every month jumping..a bad 180 can break like 3 spoke ...
That heckler is painful!
What breaks a spoke?
Casing a 40ft double with a hardtail.
I'm very unknowledgeable but live in New Zealand. How am I going to get my clumsy hands on a PT bottle-opener for getting things wrong?
"I broke a spoke, what do I do?" ---"Buy $700 worth of Park Tools and fix it yourself" :)
real lesson of the day. Become a master at what you're passionate about.
He sounds like he is teaching kindergarten kids. Priceless!
Oh man being an engineer and a pasionate about cyclists, watching this is like relating academics to passion ... What a great apetite to mind and heart ❤️ ...
Park Tool makes great videos! :)
I broke a spoke now what?
LBS: just buy a new bike. We have a lot of good bikes you can put on credit.
Reminds me how the bike mechanic at a shop I visited didn’t know what a bottom bracket was and claims they don’t come in different lengths. He highly suggested I just buy a new bike for $5k instead of a $25 bb for my chain ring to be distant from the frame.
I hit a stick that took out 75% of the spokes in my rear wheel - way more of a problem than fatigue
Hmm that’s one hell of a stick! What spokes were you using?
Loved this, lubing and torquing my nipples asap.
0:27 2pm Why is My Bike So Loud?
Please say you recorded this???
Absolutely brilliant...Calvin is in his element out of the studio. Roll up..roll up....and very very knowledgable.
Wow...I'm becoming a fan of Park tool :)
I seem to break only j-bend spokes and no straight pull spokes. Is that a coincidence? Had a couple last year, all at the rear non-drive side braking at the bend with 3 different wheels.
Imagine if all teachers at schools is like calvin, he makes learing fun.
He's my favorite park tool guy
I love how the dude is just destroying this guy at his own job answers everything right and knows specialized unless he works for them and try's to draw a crowd in ???
Just sat in the shed truing my rear wheel for 6 hours only to overtighten a spoke and snap it. It was previously bent
A learning opportunity!
mmm I use 24 sopkes, I have one broken already...is it 23spokes like too little spokes to ride safe? wheel already deformed like no 32 hole well will, th ematter here is that I had to order a few spokes its christmas time so I´ll get them i a few weeks probably
So how do you get to the sea otter festival from Marina without a car??? From out of state and don't drive... Hitchhike??!
For my clients , buying a prefabricated wheel replacement is normally not an option . They get a prescription wheel that better meets their individual needs instead .
THAT WAS A GOOD DEMO FUNNY SHOW MAN . ACTUALLY I BROKE A SPOKE I BELIEVE PUTTING THE ONE UP BIKE LOCK ON MY BIKE WHILE IT BEING ON THE RACK WITH FRICTION MOVEMENT OF MY CAR .OR IN THE WOODS ON MY FAT TIRE E BIKE. OVERALL I FOUND OUT I HAVE TWO BROKEN SPOKES SO I M NOT RIDING THANKS TO YOUR VIDEO ABOUT THE RIDE QUALITY.
Feynman of bike mechanics
"-If you don't get broken spokes, you're not riding enough."
🚴🔥🔥🔥🔥
In the space of his studio, he is a passionate educator but with a tendency towards some monotony, but once in the open air you get to see a different Calvin Jones. Almost an stand-up comedian. Wonderful teacher.
10out of 10for making bike repairs fun David bolton england😂😂
I just carry three extra spokes with me everyday. It's not hard to carry them. I think park tool make him act a little corny
7:38 metric rules!
Very instructive, as always ! :D
The only think I do complain about Park Tool is their prices. :/
When you buy quality, you only complain about the price once.
A fine [Englih] teacher.I must reo
comend him to my pupils .
I guess the guy in the front row heard "spoke" and just didn't shut up.
If you have problem with one, most likely all will be bad, if my bike would check them all
I broke like 8 spokes and the wheel just wobbled like a loose cone
Calvin is such a nice person. Would love to have all the teachers like Him. Great man.
Broke 3 spokes with heavy braking/fkatspotting my tyre.
I broke a rear spoke yesterday and fatigue wasn't a factor. Only had about 22 miles in on a 45 mile ride. The spoke broke in half and it was the strangest thing that ever happened to me on my bike in 50 years of riding.
Sounds like a fault in the spoke material. It happens sometimes.
Calvin May need to be placed on Caffeine Restriction after this 😳
So. Much. Shit. Talking. In the crowd. I love it!
290 + 12 = 5 million.
Please send me my bottle opener.
Uh oh, I have 2 broken spokes on my back tire.
unwatchable in this QA carnival barker format
Calvin, please come to the New York Bike Expo!!
Very good videos all over the channel, they are entertaining, and they are extremely helpful in situations when you need to fix something on your bike.
I wish I had your knowledge
Seaotter is unfortunately way to far for me but I'd love to watch Calvin and Truman all day long teaching about bike tech. Your UA-cam videos teaches thousands of home bike mechanics how to solve little and little bigger problems. Thanks a lot!!! Greeting from Germany 🔧
DId he say "Could we have avoided that....Correct, by not having the kid." ? LOL
Simple, concise and informative.
Nice one, one thing I noticed is he didn't explain that the removal of the cassette is actually a lot more difficult than it appears here (pre-loosened) due to needing to apply opposite rotational force on the sprocket whilst loosening lockring, ideally with a chain whip, an old chain or other tool.
Awesome & Thanks Sir 🙏🕊
Calvin is hilarious...🤣
Brilliant video. Im converting some steel rims to alloy and snapped a few spokes in the process of dismantling the wheel. Even though i dont own any park tools at the moment, i use the youtube channel all the time!
Calvin is the heart and soul of Park Tools.
J'ai bien aimé . Merci . ) 👍
What the hell would we do without Park Tool?
Good teachers rise above class clowns.
yes video for uganda
15g spokes on new brizon wingflyer 16 broke on rockaway beach boardwalk; no parktool spoke threader in local bike store
Spokes can break easily if a person weights in at 185 kg but the specification says 130 kg maximum. However, even a comparable light person can break them if unevenly or unadequately tensioned.
+what also floats in water ?
-small stones ?
280 lbs and I'm breaking spokes left and right.
Change to a 3 cross pattern
see kids, learning is fun :)
