What I love about Park Tool tutorials is that they are very comprehensive and thorough. Just straight to the facts, cristal clear information with no chit chat, no contradictory information from one video to another. You can't get confused and you actually get valuable and durable knowledge out of it. That's what we're asking for ! Thank you guys and keep up the good work :)
plus Calvin Jones is a living legend
I get overwhelmed and information overloaded a lot of times by their videos but they are the best by far
That is the first time I’ve ever heard Calvin say “Park Tool doesn’t have a tool for that”. The sky is falling
Rixter lihave never seen before
The "Local-BS" loosened the freewheels "that have no tool". Mike's Chalet in Mesa, AZ.
Rixter is too old fashion thats why!
Rixter
I nearly shat bricks when I heard this. Christ, he has a tool for everything else...
Thank you Calvin! I had struggled for hours with the wrong tools and build quite a rage before I found this series of videos, wish I had earlier. Easy to follow, authoritative and covers all possibilities. A really quality collection and so glad you have taken the time to make these - than you again!
I love your detailed, close up videos! Very professionally made and easy to follow. Please keep em coming!
I love these videos. I could watch them for hours. I can't tell if its your voice, the thorough coverage of everything you could possibly encounter or a mixture of the two.
This guy is the best shopping channel host i have seen so far.
There are many bike tutorials on UA-cam, but Calvin Jones is "The Pro". Thank you for your postings, it helped me answer several important questions!
This video is gold In determining the proper cassette locking tool for your bike. I almost made the mistake of blindly buying without researching. This guy is very thorough and straight to the point.
These videos make me want to purposelessly dissemble my whole bike then reassembling it again
I totally know what you feel :D
@@karffiol Me too
The purpose can be to clean and grease it. Buy some grease.
haha, totally go for it ! :D I caught bike-obsession after I decided to re-vitalize my trekking bike. It was blue, it had damaged lacquer, so I wanted to clean it up and re-paint it to mat-black colour. Afterwords I bought new parts and build it like brand new bike, a custom-bike. From that moment forth I started to enjoy making out of old "scrap bikes", unique gems :) Second bike was vintage Peugeot road bike for my brother. I had to bring original reproduction of frame-stickers from Great Britain (I'm from Poland). 3rd bicycle was old Rabeneick, it had that original, kind of ultra vintage brake lever and jaws. It pushed wheel from the top. IDK what kind of "technology" was that. IMHO 40's or 50's. 4th bike i re-build was my own Peugeot road bike, but in comparison to my brother bike (he wanted to have it modernised) I wanted to make it full-vintage with full French-made parts (Simplex derailleur's, Hurret/Sachs speedo-meter, Mailard heliomatic freewheel and wheels. I wanted it full "original made". Now I'm up to re-vitalise my old "flatboat" Wigry 3 bicycle from Polish bike/motorcycle cult producer Romet. It spent 10 years in my cellar, now it's time to pour fresh life into him :) Enjoy bikes boys :)
It's Luigi!
I got my first Park Tool item a few days ago. I needed a freewheel remover for Shimano and bought the FR 1.3 together with the other items at my favourite bike parts online shop. There have been similar tools of other brands for a few €uros less. But I have chosen the FR 1.3 because of these excellent videos and because of Calvin!
This video is outstanding. All help videos should use this as a baseline for quality. Thank you!
NaturalRights LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL im crying
@@cattnipp Yeah, that's a hard no.
I recently started on Mountain bikes and watching Calvin gives me the confidence in trying to maintain my bike!
Keep up the good work Park Tool, specially having Calvin on your team
Clearly explained again Calvin.
You gotta love it when stuff isn't standardized. It must be so much fun being a manufacturer and just come up with new and stupid retainers.
He Ka Couldn’t agree more, this is duckin ridiculous. It’s a goddam bicycle! It seemingly takes a similar number of tools to disassemble a car as one of these stupid things. And you probably don’t need an 8 minute video to tell what specific tool you need to buy.
It's the only way to make money off a patent.
The bike industry is the worst for making changes with the sole purpose of forcing people to buy tools and hardware that fit the new parts.
What a fantastic resource! Well structured, well presented. Well done.
As always, Park Tool, spot on. Keep the great work!
Excellent presentation. Unlike so many videos the volume was high enough to hear clearly and the man giving the explanations speaks well. It was a pleasure to view. I am very Pleased. It moved at a digestible speed so one viewing should be enough to fully comprehend the procedure. A direct link to where the tools could be purchased is the only thing i would suggest to improve it. Once you know what tool you need, the natural next step is to go and buy one.
Another faultless video from Calvin and the guys at Park - thanks so much !
This video is so helpful! Explained clearly and well structured. I'm restoring an old road bike on my own for the first time and videos like this help me finding the right materials :)
I am a novice. Yet the concise visuals and description made the information very clear and easy to understand. Thank You.
You'll find novice word in stalker PC game.
Go and play that .... awsmmm game
Changing parts on a bicycle will take a while sometimes when you don't know when to start and so far this video hit so many important points , good break down thank you.
Thanks Mr. Jones Park Tool company is lucky to have you.
This might be the only UA-cam video that actually explains and demonstrates the fitment of a cassette onto a SRAM XD Drive
Just wanted to say thank you for all the information you share on this channel. I know zilch about bikes but I am trying to restore my dad's old bike and these are so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for the video! Amazingly easy to understand and so useful!
Finally I found the tool to remove the freewheel from my bike. Great!
Brilliant video as always - shout out to Calvin and the team
Thank you Calvin! I bought the FR-1.3 for the freewheel on my bike and was able to remove it without problems. Love the videos!
Great pres and gives me a clear understanding of the different spline tools to use!
Extremely helpful video, answered soooo many of my questions
Thank you for the detailed explanation and examples. I just bought a new bicycle, but decided to restore the old one to learn, this video helped me to find a solution that costs 5 mins and a cup of coffe instead of weeks of waiting for a tool I do not need.
I pulled my old freewheel remover from the drawer when I started watching this video and found to my surprise it is a Park Tool FR-1. Must have had it at least 25 years!
Is there ANYTHING this boy DOESNT know about bicycles?! This video was super helpful determining cassette and freewheel hubs. Thanks Calvin!
Slowly I'm understanding more to try and diagnose my Falcon random clunk when under load that's getting worse, thanks to the way you present the videos. Explained so matter of fact and hi lighted.
This channel is amazing, I just got back into mountain biking and I'm learning all the ins and outs, thanks!
Had you stopped the mountain biking
@@tuliobenavidez9952 yes
@@Kyle5K Never done it but would like to try
such a nice video..give me the knowledge that i ever know before..
A really useful video. Certainly made me better informed than I was before.
FW removal Tool? Xcellent video, so informative AND EDUCATIVE... it was well done... and hosted excellently, thanks
Park's videos are amazing.
This video really was perfect, thank you so much, really helped me! Thank you Park tools!
So clear like water...just perfect explanation.
Comprehensive education on this topic! Thanks very much for making this video!
I feel like i can comprehend things better on some days rather than others ... Helped a lot thanks.
Geez the video editing in this is the best on the internet.
Thanks Park Tool & Calvin!
You have seen the truth behind the videos! The camera crew/editors are the makers of the magic.
@@parktool I'm from Indonesia, where is the official agent for Park Tool Indonesia?
Thanks guys.. spot on info. New expanded freewheel for the 91 Schwinn on the way along with the tools.
Phenomenal video. Thanks for producing this bright, clean well articulated video that's chalk full of incredibly valuable information. Awesome.
Video is awesome, thanks! I bike to work, rain and snow, and recently the back wheel of my (yea, cheap) bike broke, so I've been searching for ways to replace it and how to determine what I need. Thanks!
Great explanation, thanks Calvin !!
Why did people dislike??? Very good old style explaining. Love it.
People dislike because of the UA-cam bombardment if you hit like..
I have a park tool chainbreaker. I have broken so many chains, and it still works like new. Great tool.
Thank you. The information in this 8min video is invaluable.
Calvin & Park Tool - simply the best 👏🏻👍🏻
Brilliant explanation of differences
This video saved my life.
My DiamondBack 2003 Mountain bike has the Shimano freewheel with the 23mm tool fitting. Park Tool FR1.3. Thanks!
Thanks Luigi! 🤣
I just bought the proper tools today. A chain whip for $2 and removal tool for $2.50.
A right angle needle nose pliers would be far more effective and give you more leverage though if you were to go down this route and you can utilize your own bike chain as a makeshift chain whip using a bit of wire or zip ties.
While this method would work in an emergency. I would not use this particular method for taking off (or putting on) anything that you cannot afford to destroy / replace.
Bellissimo video con spiegazioni chiari aiutate da un stupenda grafica, grazie
What a great video.
Exactly what i wanted to know. I can't recommend this series enough.
THANK YOU PARK TOOL. I was able to get the 1.3 and remove my old shimano freewheel, and wow is the tool robust. I had to put an 18” extender on my wrench, sit on the wheel to hold it still and crank on the extender hard with both hands before I got it loose. This is on a 15 year old wheel that has never had the cassette removed. The tool is worth it 100%, don’t waste your time goofing around with pliers and screwdrivers because you will damage your cassette.
Your video helped me out !!! FR-7 needed
Thank YOU Park Tool very helpful for specific tools.
Just finished a 20 mile ride on my GT Aggressor pro and noticed the gears on my cassette (is that the word?) were able to spin about a millimeter relative to each other. Looking forward to getting one of these tools and fixing it. Thanks Calvin
Calvin, awesome job! I wish I had found this video earlier...it would have shortened my edumacation about freewheel vs cassette systems...Thanks so much for doing this!
Thanks Park Tool!
I'm not an expert at Cycle repairs, though I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
To-date. I have found the Specialist Park Tools' items to be very reliable. And, these informative video's help me to deicide which type of tool I may need for what particular type of product I'm facing. The cost may be much higher than cheaper brands, though in some cases, the strength of the product and it's described applicability to the particular product configuration I'm faced with, is well worth it - I'd rather pay extra and know that it works, than pay half and find out that I should have bought something else.
I have used the Cassette removal tool for my own bicycles many times over, not only to clean the gearing, but of late to clean the hub itself - which started slipping. However in my case, instead of the 10mm hex-key tool to remove the hub, an 11 mm tool was required (Giant Xtc2 MTB) - not a one off case. Perhaps an 11mm should be added to the Park Tool chest ?
Park Tools, I think, has established it's name as the go to source for reliable bicycle tools to have access to. I only wish, it was more affordable across the board.
I've never seen some of these. Likely never will, but it's fun knowing. Thanks!
Park Tool has become my main and central authority for technical information to such degree, that i generally use Park Tool alone. IF i need to verify Information i use Park Tool as means to verify the information.
Your videos are very well put together
video is great !! Thanks for posting :)
Very nice video, informative and concise. Thank you.
This video is awesome! Thank you very much
Excellent video 👍
Great video, should be used as a standard for such help videos!
Very helpful Video!
I'm finally learning how to work on my bike!
I guess Shelter-In-Place has a few benefits!....LOL
So helpful, amazingly clear and easy to understand. Love the voice 🤤
So much good info!!! :D Great video!!
凄く分かりやすかったです！
Dang Calvin explained that so well
Patrik R
This was great, only thing missing, for me, was an explanation of the FR-5 series of tools. I looked elsewhere, seems the lock ring fitting attachment is the same, just other variations on the tool itself.
Celvin, you are the BEST.
Thanks for the video! Now i know what i have. i thought they were all called cassettes. Turns out i have a freewheel, now i can get the correct tool.
Thank you.
I wanna hear him rap the intire presentation over that beat! Noddy headed!
Perfect presentation. Kudos!

VERY INFORMATIVE , THANKS.
Wah pakdeku nduwe cenel youtube sak iki...sehat terus yo pakde suk nek ketemu tulung ajari dandan pit neh yo pakde he3 😁
The high video resolution looks great!
The reason why they make so may designs soo confusing instead just one unversial design is so that you take it to bike mechanic shop and paid them or else they wouldnt have any jobs
I started as a bicycle mechanic and moved on to motorcycles and cars as an adult. I can tell you that I have more money in special tools than some spend on a house. Still that's nothing compared to the wealth of knowledge of nearly fifty years turning wrenches. Everything you own was designed by an engineer for the companies needs and mechanics are of very little concern. If we weren't around they'd just sell you something new and actually would prefer that.
Just great explanation. ! Period
Thanks a lots fantastic demonstration so learnt a lots and enjoyed.
Thank you, Calvin. Very useful info. Greetings, warm greetings from Mexico.
Brilliant, thank you.
Thank you so much for this video
