    Hey all! January has been quiet. I wish I could tell you I have been on vacation, but I haven't! We've been behind the scenes building momentum again after the holidays, and setting the stage for a fun and interesting 2024. I hope you all are enjoying life and keeping warm. Enjoy this compilation I put together to hold you over. More good stuff is on the way, and I even have that clapped out GT to restore!

    Your bike flipping videos aren't the ones that brought me here but I think they might be the ones that keep me here. It's very well done and an entertaining way to learn bike repair. You never know what issues you're going to encounter and we get to learn your thought process and methods you use to deal with those issues.

    I fucked up and left my bike outside all winter. I was just going to buy a new bike cuz I dont have the knowledge, tools, or space to fix it. I think if I watch these vidoes I could do it myself. It was a cheap $700 mountain bike I got at the peak of covid. It was all I could find cuz nothing was instock at the time. With some upgraded parts it would be a dope bike and with help of these videos I think I could do it myself.

    You legit inspired me to go out to a pawn shop and I bought a mountain bike for $40. It was a pile of junk that needed a lot of work. Few amazon purchases and a couple weeks I now have what I’d consider a very nice bike that I enjoy riding. Great videos. Keep up the good work.

Your channel has been getting me super excited - and my wallet very scared - because of all the diverse topics you are covering in the MTB world.

      To protect your wallet, right now is probably the best time to get into this activity. For a bit, you'll be seeing some pretty steep discounts, and hopefully you can use these videos not to spend money, but to save it. That said, if you go out and buy a new bike tomorrow I'm not mad 😂

    This was fun & satisfying to watch. When I was 10, up until I joined the US Navy at 20, I did all my own bike maintenance and repairs & took things apart to see how they worked. I turned 20 in Dec of 1988. It's been a long time since I've done any bike work. When I happened onto your YT channel in 2016, you inspired me to get my 1st full suspension mtb. Tyvm. But I now take my bikes, especially my Emtb, to a local bike shop. Since the end of Covid19, I started acquiring some bike repair tools so I can do some of my own work. So far, so good. For the really technical work, the bikes go to the shop. I will take on some of the more difficult work eventually. As always, maintain your excellence and peace out.

    Finally - you overhauled the hub bearings at 1:27:09 !
    Here's my time-tested and proven solution. I use Molybdenum Disulfide grease - it is far more durable than standard bike greases, and a big bonus is that it reduces the annoying click-click-click of the freewheel to almost perfect silence levels. You'll hear only about 40-45dB noise.
    For best results, Clean first, and then Grease BOTH the Axle Bearings AND the Freehub pawls.
    Just before closing up the Freehub and Bearings, apply a few drops of Mobil1 Synthetic 5W40, which keeps the grease flowing between the bearings, and prevents it from being pushed to the sides.
    I can easily go 10 years between bearing service with this solution - yes, I have 3 bikes over 30 years old, all in as-new mechanical condition.

    It was fun to revisit your past projects. Here's an idea for a future flip - turn a 90s-era mountain bike into a 'modern' gravel bike. I know it's been done, but not with your style and panache. And with all the gravel trails we have here in WNC, plenty of places for folks to ride it. 😎
