This is very satisfying to watch cause it shows a lot of issues I have with the bicycle industry. Josh is using the bike EXACTLY like what a bike is supposed to be used. Big manufacturers sell you a nicely marketed dream that their components are premium and better quality... so it would be logical to expect them to be more rugged! And then you learn the hard way, that "premium and better quality" only means "more performance for athletes on the road, in dry and warm conditions, with a team of mechanics and you as a user treating the bike like a raw egg".
Love the way Nic comes across in his videos, genuinely honest about what ever he is working on or talking about in regards to the bicycle industry. Cheers, keep on making videos Nic.
Genuinely enjoy Nic's personality on any bike video. He does an amazing job filling in for the Cade Media podcasts. His bike builds are beautiful but I really enjoy his takes on the industry, bike repairs, trends, etc.
Lovely to see Nic in his natural habitat. Have learned alot from his guest appearances on the wild ones podcast and always have tremendously appreciated his very deep knowledge based on passion and experience. Looking forward to more content coming from him!
Bbs and freehubs get all the attention! The pedals see the most dirt and moisture contamination. Pedals aren't throw away items until the high end models. Some are so easy to service, the spindles can stay on the cranks. Definitely a plus with carbon cranks.
Don't have a vice (or a torque tool) so found out that heating that lock nut with a lighter makes is doable with just a wrench (different metals expand differently)
I don't get why people have so many SD cards.. I've been using the same 256GB card for years... and only upgraded the last one so it was fast enough to process 4K! The trick is of course as you know, to try and only film as much as you actually plan to use - at some point you have to watch it back!
No point unless the bike is filthy and in for a full rebuild. A 'quick wash' is one of the worst things you can do to a bike as the water flows dirt into the nooks and crannies, often leading to new creaks and clicks that weren't there when the customer gave you the bike.

"BBs and freehubs get all the attention" certainly don't from me David, am straight to my own Nic the mechanic. =D
Nic bought a drone for his bike build videos? :O That is mental :D
This was great!

I wish Nick lived in Epping.
How has he enjoyed the birzman truing stand? Thinking of getting one for the shop :)
