      People who watch this channel obviously don't have the destroy sh*t gene. I watch because I like to see things restored and treated properly. I personally find it abhorrent to not take care of something l worked hard to buy. You've laid out a rich buffet of comment potential and then tell us not to say anything! I am so conflicted😂

    I ride this model of Propel and can say, even with good dry climate, and regular maintenance, guiding the cables through the frame is a pain in the butt. Good on you for treating the Propel properly, it's a solid and fast frame but needs a lot of love and patience.

    Just a tip with the carbon fiber bikes spraying the degreaser directly into the frame depending on what is in it can be a very bad thing as if its strong enough it will eat through the glue/epoxy holding all the different layers together, Great restoration!

    This is a well used bike, like my Giant Contend SL1 Disc 2021. The attention to detail and care shown in this video, is of the usual Bikespeeds high standard. As I said before, great video.

    I have this model Propel. Those brakes are such a pain, the rear needed servicing at least twice a year! Rides lovely though and super fast. Great job!

    • @Bikespeeds
      @Bikespeeds  8 місяців тому

      Yes even when they’re fixed they only need a wet ride to stick again!🧡

      @@Bikespeeds My mechanic installed a plastic sleeve over the cable that goes about 4 inches into the top tube. This fixed it as well as anything but still eventually the cable gets corroded.

  • @stephenmorris6202

    Gosh. We should all watch this and make a note to self about regular maintenance and servicing. Some of the points of failure would have been dangerous and a video like this necessary for us all. I have my bike stripped back annually and take off and clean the chain and cassette every couple of weeks. You get used to it.
    Very well presented video also.
    Suspect the customer had a massive shock and beaming smile.

    Watching this gave me a lot of insight into why my rear brake has completely failed, and why I cannot fix it using the barrel adjusters or by shifting the pads closer to the rotor. Might be time for a proper service!

    New subscriber here... I restore old bikes as a hobby and have learned a few things thanks to your generosity. I'm awaiting delivery of my ultrasonic cleaner, having seen the miracles it performs in your videos. Silly question... What do you put into your "Soapy Water" when you wash the parts that have been degreased? I'm guessing you live in a soft water area as I can never get that lovely soft foamy lok in my bowl...
