image how boring the videos would be if people did'nt let their bike's deteriorate. quality videos keep them coming 👌
Definitely! Well used bikes are bikes with soul🧡
... didn't* ... their bikes* (plural, no apostrophe) - otherwise, totally agreed!
After 15 years of serious cycling I just recently lined up the logos with the valves and it has made it a million times easier to find the valve, thank you for your little tips you inject into your videos.
Now you know! And once you notice logos you can’t ever un-notice them on every bike you see lol🧡
just sheer therapy watching these dusty/muddy bikes look new!
Thanks to all the owners that don't take care of their bikes, great videos because of them.
Haha yes we do get great videos from them😂👍🏼
You are like the Bob Ross of bike maintenance. Love your videos and your explanations.
Haha it’s not the first time I’ve heard this lol🧡⚙️
Texas USA here. I truly appreciate your attention to detail and practical approach. Happy to subscribe! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Don! Glad you enjoyed the video🇺🇸🧡
You have fantastic taste in watches, Oyster quartz and today a space view, absolute classics!
⌚️🧡
Good that the customer had the bike brought back to life, great job as always.
What a beautiful job that customers are lucky to have a great bike repair shop.
Thanks Teri!🧡
Lovely! So enjoyable to see the transformation :)
@the owner of the bike: please also have the stem bolts swapped for non rusty ones. The bike deserves it!
Weekly dose of bike servicing. Greetings from Bosnia. 👋🏻
Greetings Crazy Joe! Thanks for watching🧡
Your videos are meditative. I look forward to them every week, and, you've inspired me to work on a few of my older neglected bikes. Great stuff! Thanks!
Thanks Dan that’s a great comment to hear 🧡
Great work as always! I love the fact that people are watching your videos and inspiring them to keep bikes in good condition.
I agree, it’s nice to think we can inspire a different thought process to maintaining a bike, it’s very rewarding for us. 👍🏻
I really enjoy those videos, learning so much from an experienced mechanic is very nice!
Very good job. Another bike saved that would have landed in a landfill, I’m sure. Also great to see that your channel is driving business to your shop.
I hope the customer will be encouraged to use the bike much more now.
All is well in the bikespeeds world! Like you say: bikes, videos and happy customers lol, thanks for watching Martin🧡
Ive got a bike in similar condition. Hardly used and was stored in a damp garage. Took it to tredz ans basically told me it would be in excess of 200 quid and due to age of components it would be better i just buy a new bike. Not really sustainable is it. Id anyone is near carsiff who can offer service as good as this fella please let me know, thanks
so cool that customer is a subscriber =) thank you customer
We get quite a few people a week off the back of the channel now. It still amazes me when someone mentions it! ⚙️
Wow that bike really cleaned up nicely. Yet again you have worked your magic and brought a very nice bike back to life. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Kevin! This one came up great🧡🇨🇦
very nice! changing the handlebar, stem n brake lever screws would have totally made this spanking new
Another excellent job, I’ve learned so much from your videos! I also enjoy learning some of the backstory of the bike and how it has been used!
Thanks for enjoying them all and dropping comments 🧡
Another great job to bring back a beautiful bike.I bet the rider will enjoy getting back in the road.
Superb transformation. Great to see how mostly it was about cleaning, detailing and refining rather than replacing which had the bike ready to ride 👏
With a little bit of time most things clean up, and rust whilst it looks scary really isn’t the end of life for parts🧡
Centering tire logos can be helpful detecting any spiky road presents that may have remained in the tire. It helps orientating when you pump up the damaged inner tube holding it beneath the wheel to see where the puncture happened. Much easier when everything is in order. We do it all the time in the shop.
Great videos! Keep them coming, so enjoyable!!!
Thanks for watching Philip!🧡⚙️
Came out like new! To the owner of the bike: thanks for lending it for this video, enjoy your sweet ride!
It’s surprising the level of shine you can get when you put some time into these parts, degreasing really can reveal an almost new part under the grease⚙️
Hey hey there is the mountain bike work you were promising! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
This was a nice simple one, we do try film any mountain bike video of substance because we do see you mountain bike fans, there’s just not many mountains near us!
Just serviced an exact bike a couple of weeks ago for a work colleague and I enjoyed working on it. I used to be a shop mechanic back in the early 90's and would dearly love to get back into the industry again. Very informative videos, and a credit to your skills and experience 👍👍
Thanks for watching Stuart, keep up the good work.
Ahhh. The nature of youtube. I agree not being aware of the individual reasoning behind a bike being in a certain level of condition gives us the the only reason we should need not to leave unsupportive comments.
Age, knowledge, time, and physical ability are some others.
I for one take care of my bikes for general maintenance but the year end go over and tuneup I leave to my local shop. I work 60 to 70 hrs a week and actually enjoy supporting them and their efforts.
Be kind to others folks. You'll feel much better for it.
It’s the nature of social media in general really. And it’s a great way of keeping bikes, it’s no different to checking the oil in your car or even doing the oil change but getting your mechanic to change the clutch. We have many customers who use us for the important yearly service or a pre A race check it helps all of us. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🧡⚙️
Always a pleasure to see your work! What a masterpiece!
You’re too kind! We appreciate the kind words Ham🧡⚙️
nice job...... nice bike
love the fact that u didnt need to replace much..... just clean and lube
It’s surprising how far you can bring parts back that don’t need replacing
Excellent job on this one!
👌🏻👍🏻 Good point on the negative comments💪🏻 Keep m coming, Lowestoft!
Thanks for the positivity Lahai🧡⚙️
Great attention to detail if I only was close😎
You don't have to be. He does it professionally, which is why he dares to make videos about it.
Too kind Murphy! Thanks again🧡
Wow cool restoration brilliant
I got the same bike a couple months back i personally got the TXC because of this video 😅
Wow that’s awesome!
Great service as always guys 👍
🧡⚙️
Great video as always! Excited for the next!
Thanks Derek! Glad your as excited about them as we are 🧡⚙️
beautifully done
It would be nice to see some full suspension mtb comes in for servicing 😉
If we get one in worth filming we definitely will! Our area is pro dominantly road bikes but we always try get the mountain bike videos out wherever we can🧡⚙️
Nice to watch as always. I'm surprised you did not replace them old stem bolts to new shiny ones 😉. Anyway bike looks great and I'm sure the owner loves it!
All the best from Belfast 👊
This was just a simple “get it riding again” job, with customer bikes it’s up to them how far they want us to take it🧡
Amazing change on this one, thanks for sharing. I always look forward to the videos.
Thanks for watching Kris!🧡⚙️
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, love your videos. In particular, you offer great information on whether to replace a part or service. Thanks heaps
Most things can be serviced with a bit of time and love, we service far far more than we replace⚙️
Awesome work. Love it!! You motivate me to work on my bike! Thanks
Enjoy your bike! Keep up the good work Kenneth🧡
great work and a very nice bike.
Appreciate it as always Nick!🧡⚙️
Nice job, as always!!!
Appreciate it Rodrigo!
Eugh those Elixir brakes. Absolute nightmare when I had a pair. Had to buy a couple of lever internals service kits because they leaked and corroded at the levers like that. Don't miss fiddling with those!
Disc brakes are often hit and miss we find, some work perfectly, some sets are just doomed to fail and can’t be fixed with anything but replacement⚙️
Another solid service 😎 surprising how much was just cosmetic on this bike.
The most common comment I get when a bike is collected is “and you’ve washed it!” That cosmetic presentation is as important as the mechanicals for our servicing really. 👍🏻🧡⚙️
Always looking forward to your videos bike speed..
🇰🇪🇰🇪
Really interesting to see how some components had a lot of corrosion/rust and other items looked new. This bike is now better than new thanks to this maintenance.
You mentioned something in your video that I suspect many people do not know -- not all torque wrenches work in reverse. Very good point to make people who are getting into doing their own bike maintenance.
Not a bike comment, but I'm happy to see the Accutron Spaceview again. My dad purchased one new (late 60's/early 70's?). It has always been one of my favorites. 👍
I’m quite into astronomy and love the link to the Apollo program with that watch. The tuning fork humming is alway mesmerising to listen to.
Great watch as always, keep it up! See you next week!
Thanks Mathias! Glad you enjoy the videos, we appreciate the support in the comments🧡⚙️💪🏼
Quality work!!Thx for great video!!!
As long as you keep watching them we’ll keep making them lol🧡👍🏼
Looks great
Great vid as always looks brand new 👍
Thanks for watching each week and dropping us a comment Alfie, never goes unnoticed🧡⚙️
I Love your vids. Kind of meditation 👌🏼
Glad you enjoy them! People seem to find them relaxing🧡⚙️
Very nice 👌
hello from Ponchatoula
Welcome. Thanks for watching 🧡
It's a ripper again! Successful bike CPR!
Haha we like that one, bike CPR🧡
Another great job 👍
Thanks again!🧡⚙️
Nice bike, hope the owner gets to riding it now happily. Lovely video as always. Sometimes life events such as work, health... hamper best laid plans after getting a bicycle. Let's not be judgemental.
Appreciate it Naga, you’re absolutely right, there’s always stories behind these bikes🧡
Do you take the seatpost out as standard and degrease? I find the alloy posts really corrode quickly
As always what a great video! Wish i could take u my hardtail.... to bad im in California lol
Well If you’re ever in the UK you know where we are!🧡⚙️
My mtb has sram level brakes that takes dot fluid love the great videos keep em coming.
Enjoy riding your MTB, and when you’re not, enjoy watching our videos on your MTB lol🧡
@@Bikespeeds i most currently do
Bro that bike cleaned up fantastic great job .
I have a boardman txc sport 27.5 and it needs new headset bearings .
The mtb bearings sets online dont mention the txc sport probably because its discontinued but the one set seem to fit every other boardman mountainbike model .
Do all boardman mountainbikes use the same size internal headset bearings ?
I dont have calipers to measure , any help is greatly appreciated thank you
Classy video as always. But no watch this time? Bummer.
Bulova in this one🧡
@@Bikespeeds Right. Watched again and paid attention this time. Not watch only after the 2:50 mark. Keep up the good work!
Have been using AutoGlym on my road bike, which has a glossy paint finish. Really happy with the look and that dirt doesn't collect as readily. My gravel bike has a satin paint finish. Is there an equivalent product that will offer some protection without altering the satin finish? Thanks for doing your videos. I've learned a lot and improved my maintenance techniques significantly.
Autoglym won’t alter the satin finish. It should be fine on that too. Test it under the bottom bracket to be sure.
I have a matt finish Canyon, and I really like Crankalicious Cycle Care - Carboniferous Matt Detailer. If you get any marks or areas that start looking a bit glossy from something rubbing, I have had a lot of success using a Magic Eraser (the melamine foam cleaning pads) that you can buy from the likes of Robert Dyas - it seems to create just the right level of Matt finish.
Great job as always, good to see some mtb's coming to the channel. A suggestion would be to step up the difficulty level, maybe show us a fork service or something like that :)
Thank you once again for the amazing content!
We have shown that on other videos, it varies job to job on what the customer wants, we can’t do jobs for free as it’s often in depth work but we think that adds to the variety on the channel, you get something different each week 🧡
Mourice from hull here that's definitely a wow factor right there honestly great work bikespeeds I have just recently bought a new boardman from halfords I love my bike but everyone seems to criticise halfords can you tell me why if possible
We don’t get into politics 😂 Enjoy your Boardman & thanks for watching. ⚙️🧡👍🏻
Nice job again as usual, folks! Ride safe!
Great service guys! Getting to know a lot on how to service my bike from you guys. I just got a multi tool and it has a chain breaker in it and that got me wondering, why cant 7-9 speeds use masterlinks? What will happen if you use a 7 speed chain with it? Thanks for making these videos as always. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
If the chain just has a pin it’s probably a budget chain. I sell chains with master links and the links individually for single speed and 5 speed upwards. With a 9 speed You need a 1/2 x 5/16 chain 8 soles down is 1/2 x 3/32 so too wide to site correctly on a 9 speed cassette.
5:54 I will never say bad things about such stuff before knowing 100% of the story.
each bike has its own unique story. some are found, some are stolen and returned, some were used then forgotten... so its good to give old things new life.
Hopefully the new owner / or the owner after the service will keep it clean from the moment of pick up serviced bike.
Thats it.
Another lovely job, looked a bit of a headache that one ! One question, don't you end up with a big puddle in the workshop when you clean the bikes down ?
We don’t use as much water as you’d think and we simply mop up as we go🧡⚙️
I ask once again. where can I get the superslick cables you use? or atleast, what are they called?
You can find them almost everywhere if you google superslick cables, we get ours from a trade supplier so they’re not available for retail purchase but you can find them almost anywhere I’m sure⚙️
How long does a brake bleed like that normally take? Without sped up footage and assuming everything goes swimmingly? Great video as per :)
The key is setting everything up currently for it to go smoothly, but actual bleeding time is no longer than 2 or so minutes with this technique🧡
💚
Where are you guys based? Huge fan.
The East of the U.K. in Lowestoft Suffolk
Do you have anything to do with ebikes
Yes, they are gathering pace these days!
I recently watched a Hambini video about the quality of these Boardman bikes... In your experience have you seen issues with these bikes?
The majority of bikes are produced to a retail price point. Boardman bikes are no different. Manufactures will often tick boxes so for example they might want the words “disc brake / tubeless ready” in the description and to reach the price point may fit very cheap bearings in the wheels or a low end saddle. There’s no good or bad really. One of the most underrated aspects of buying a bike it the build quality & how it’s been put together, you can have the cheapest bike out there, well put together that will out last a badly built high end bike.
All your builds have rusty bolts and nuts (Just a personal annoyance.) I use a Dremel and small wire brush attachments for the inside and out of the bolts and nuts. :)
how much money do you make in every (full)bike restoration?
He answered that in a Q&A video. He said, in respect to the industry he would not reveal any exact prices, and it varies, depending on time and effort anyway.
Noice
Don't criticize the people who turn their bikes in for a detailing. Criticize those who don't !
Amen!!🧡⚙️
Why don't you get a bike from a big box retail outlet and show how badly it is assembled. I had to look at a friends sons bike that would not shift ......ended up putting a wrench on nearly all of the bike , some things were thumb tight at best.
hi from india (tamilnadu) in my place i don't have giant service is possible to guide me for service my bike just shifted giant bike
We have quite a few Giants in previous videos. Check out our library!
Man I hate dot fluid haha
It’s not our favorite lol🧡
2:25 No wonder I agree, any bike brakes with DOT fluid are absolute garbage. I will never ever make a mistake of buying DOT Bike brakes.my first bike had those and the braking.... there was none 7 times serviced... it got worse.
positive would not exist were it not for negative.
Nice non-judgmental attitude towards the bike owners. We know nothing about their circumstances, so how could we possibly have an opinion about their bikes' condition?
Thanks for all the good videos.
Exactly! Almost all the bikes have a good reason for ending up the way they are and the owners all care enough to have them brought back up🧡⚙️
Man, the things people let happen to their bikes.
