    Depends on how much you care about how much your bike weighs but another thing to do with older inner tubes is to cut it vertically down the middle and wrap it around your new tube it basically makes you tube twice as thick. I've done it a lot before and it definitely helps stop pinch flats!

    Using alcohol wipes (the ones doctors use before using an injection) on your disc brake rotors can remove any sort of oil!

    On a hot day ride, fill your hydration bladder or water bottle half way and lay it at a slight angle in the freezer overnight. For the bladder make sure you blow up the bladder like a balloon to make sure the water freezes in the shape of a full bladder. For water bottles make sure the cap is not partially submerged. Then fill with water and you will have ice cold water for the whole ride.

    my bike hack. To store bikes vertically, zip tie (or inner tube rubber band) the rear brake, and then just lean it up against a wall on the handlebars, the handlebars balance it, and it won't move with the back wheel locked up. A lot simpler than a wall mount, and a lot cheaper.

    The reason why you're not supposed to use those wipes on your tires is that they can make the rubber dry out faster. The thinking is that wipes that use an alcohol or similar substance to make them evaporate will cause the tires to dry out and crack sooner. With the amount of riding you do, you probably replace tires long before this would happen any way.

    I've got a good bike hack! I took an extra handlebar end plug, wrapped it with electrical tape until it was thick enough to plug my seat post. It fits and seals perfectly but it's not too hard to take out!
    My sensus grips end plugs are too difficult to take off to store things in the handlebars like you showed in this video, so this works as a great alternative for me.
    You can put money in there, or it's also a good place to hide a piece of paper with your name and phone number, as proof of ownership in case the bike ever gets stolen

    Cable ends, twist 'em up like in the vid as much as you can, then clean it if you can with alcohol/switch cleaner/brake cleaner, anything that doesn't leave a residue. Once that's fully dry, add a few drops of superglue and let that dry, or carefully heat it if you have a heat gun or lighter etc. Don't set fire to the glue is all. Or you could even solder the end, but in either case, if you make it too big, you'll have to cut it off later if you replace the cable, as it won't fit through the mech/cable outer etc.

    BIKE HACK. when riding with friends, if you go into a store on a busy street and don't have a bike lock, stack the bikes awkwardly to deter thieves. if the bike are standing alone upright, anyone could grab one and roll away, but if the bikes are in a pile they will have to spend the time to untangle some bars and pedals to take your bike. it may scratch your bike, but it can save you from losing your bike forever!

    My favorite bike hack for solo trailside repairs: To turn pedals and drivetrain, lean down and put nose of saddle over the back of your neck. Lift the back wheel with your neck and pedal with one hand. Your other hand is free to make adjustments to shifters, cables, brakes, etc.

  • @victorgiannella8463
    @victorgiannella8463 8 років тому +5

    Also I have some bike hacks,
    1. Leaving a spare masterlink taped to a cable
    2. If you ride like me with your hands hanging off the bars you normally wear done the outsides of the grips but the inside looks new so rotate them to get more life out of them.
    3. From a motocross I always have motocross/motorcycle chain lube laying around. it's cheaper most of the time then bicycle chain lube and works the same if not better
    Just my two cents lol

    a luggage scale is also a great alternative to weigh a bike. small enough to fit in pocket. Great take with when shopping for light bikes.

    Seth, here in Colombia we use damaged tubes, cutting them along to form bands. Then they can be wrapped around the bars and prevent chain caused scratches on the paint.

    Hack: If you need to connect two steel brake or shift cables, or need to extend your cable for some reason, you can connect them by wrapping both of them around a nut and bolt, and then tightening the bolt down real well. Its not the prettiest, but it does work. Could be especially helpful if you accidentally snap a cable and have to wait for another one to arrive after being ordered online.

    When putting on new grips use wd40 it has alcohol in it so it evaporates fast and makes a tight seal plus it will lube the grip to make it easier to put on the bars
