It's 2024 and I just used this video to fix an old exercise bike. Thanks!
Fantastic video...... I enjoy your upbeat attitude, plus all your instructional videos. Thanks for taking the time in showing this 66 year old bike rookie how the procedure is done correctly !!
Fixing up my sister in law's cruiser bike, 9 years later, this video is still gold. Thanks Bikeman🤙🏼
Bikeman is timeless! ...mic drop.
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to fix my daughter's bike while she is in physical therapy for her knee and now when she's all healed up she will have her bike to ride again.
come on over to our new channel ua-cam.com/channels/1g_z6Qvq-fLRTQbZ71-6sA.html
No, thank you for making these videos. Nothing is better than a straight to the point hands on demo. Keep on truckin' man!
i just picked up 2 cruiser bikes in pretty bad shape...never done any bike maintenance before! but your videos have done so well step by step, I can't add up how much you've probably saved me in labor fees!!! keep up the good work Mr. Bike Man!
HUGE HELP!!! I NEVER KNEW THOSE CUPS IN FRAME COULD BE REMOVED!! All my friends and I were taught to work on our own bikes and keep them in good shape so I don't think I've ever had to replace any, but I'd love to throw new style 3-piece crank on my old GT speed series frame and NOW I CAN YAY!!!
It was my first time ever taking my bike apart since I first got it from like 10,12 years ago and I didn’t know how to do this part and thankfully I found this video and it was super helpful I really appreciate it.
Can't thank you enough Bikeman! Bought a fat tire cruiser bike used that was jerking like it was skipping gears even thought it's single speed. Didn't know how to get inside it until this video. Bearings were rusted with a few balls missing in one of them and no grease. Clearly the problem and cheap fix! THANK YOU SIR!
Solid video bikeman! Getting ready to fix a beach cruiser. 2022 and this video is still GOLD!!!
You saved me Dude. Back on the road. Found a pile of bearings and shredded pot metal. All good now Bike Man. Thanks from San Francisco
i like how he is so positive all the time :D
A blast from the past...We have come along WAY. Nice to hear from Mr. Pump today. My father will live forever
Sorry about your dad. I was just thinking the other day the changes in the video and stuff around there. You losing weight too. Hope all is well non bike related wise. I thought it was dumb some people didn't like his camera work. But he was family. And blood is thicker than lube.
This came up in the suggested videos list so I just clicked it. Didn't mean to go so far back in the BM world.
BikemanforU how can I installe a fork and a handle
Podra conseguir accesorios para una huffy de mujer thank.s
your technique for taking pedals off is rad bikeman! never seen it done that way before. NEVER FEAR
I'm just swapping out a sprocket (a 44T for a 36T) but this is the basic information that I need, and this video made it all make sense. Not sure I have a wrench big enough, though. Also, I think I bought a basket rack from you guys about three years ago off eBay!
I learned more about what I wanted to know from your 12 min video than the 30 min I wasted before that.
Just did the coaster brake on my Firestone Warrior...next up is the crank. This will help...thank you, Sir!!!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO, IM PUTTING A CRUISER BIKE WITH 66CC ENGINE KIT, I HAVE THE 26 INCH CRANBROOK BEACH CRUISER 26 INCH, I DIDN'T WANT MY MOTOR SITTING HIGH ON THE FRAME SO I NEEDED TO GET THE EXTENDED CRANK SET, THEN FINDING YOUR PERFECT VIDEO SHOWING HOW, THANKS IM SO EXCITED 👍🏿💯🔥🤜🏿🤛🏿
Hey BikeMan, You are awsome. I've been trying to fix my 8yr olds bike for thelongest time and cause of your videos, I got my kid back on the street. Thnx BikeMan. :)
My bearing are 25 years old and in desperate need of grease. I was able to remove the bearings and replace with new ones then added extra grease... thank you!!!!
sorry, Knox gelletin. BTW, Boeing in Seattle gave away about 200 Workmans to friends of mine, a non-profit bike shop in Tacoma, called 2nd Cycle. They held a workman race they organized in a vacant lot and made ramps and stuff. Man, you really belong in the Bike-Centric Pacific North West, you would be in heaven. There is also a group out there of traveling gypsy cyclists that make a carnival out of bicycles and parts, making rides out of them. Not to mention the annual dead baby downhill bike race in Seattle, which is like a woodstock centered around and after a bike race. bands, free beer, well, you get the idea. My girl does a booze cruise in Tacoma called the Tacoma Mob Riders monthly. If you ever want to travel up Seattle/Tacoma way, give me a shout. I will head you in the right direction. oh, friend me on facebook if you believe in that sort of thing... James Hambly, Costa Mesa, CA.
Thanks dude! I got my cruiser in April and my goal was 1,000 miles by the end of year. I was on mile 991 and the bearing wheel just completely disintegrated!! Got the replacement parts and grease coming on December 28 from Amazon, hope it all works out.
(cont.) i have 11 bikes and this 10spd. i have owned for like 20 years and have never noticed the way the crank and the freewheel system worked. i thought id share that with you bikeman , i really enjoy your videos and they have been a lot of help. i thank you and your crew keep it up!
Wow! I was impressed... and also dismayed at how many parts, how many tools, and how much work and expertise went into that replacement operation.... I think it would not be very easy or convenient for me to do at home. I bought a cheap indoor stationary exercise bike, and very recently it has begun making some knocking sounds and has been "jumping" a bit. This began when I was pedaling at high resistance.
Love the video but from all the rust I see on the bikes I see you working on I might suggest using green marine Grease to pack your bearings . I use it on all my builds .Thanks for the fun & informative video's !!!
your video is the only one that shows the removal of the bearing cups, i was wondering about that. thank you bike man
i never meant it to be an offensive comment, and in all honesty he sounds like a pretty cool father
@BikemanforU weather is hot hot hot bikeman! did a nice 16 mile ride today in the sun! doing a 50 mile ride in a couple of weeks with some friends and filming it, i shall be wearing my bikemanforu t shirt for sure! hope all is good!
The camera man is AWESOME! Shout out to the camera man! (Like if you agree)
Time for a new video of this. Better cameraman and not so rushed. We have fast forward and rewind. Thanks.
Man oh man I've been sitting on this cool beach cruiser for months because I forgot how to change the crank!!! I can't wait to get back to work on it!!!!
glad we could help
Rides smooth!!!! Thanks again!!!
I did get hit by a car and went through the windshield!!! But hey it still rides great and I got hit by a BMW!!! I'll be alright...
why are you in such hurry. this take the joy out of the video. you are good at what you are doing .please slow so we can enjoy your video better. thank you.
The Bearings on my Pedal Crank are SO dry cause it's been in the elements of weather, I will watch this video to guide me when I do grease my Bearings!
Great video my Man...Thanks for the humor; life is too short. Gonna do my bike now...I'M PUMPED!!!
another fine episode of this old gahbidge bike
“You’re going so fast bike man” 😂
@9:42 this nut is the one that is giving me the biggest issue. It feels like it's normal threads and reverse thread at the same time 🤣
jst saw this video to see how to replace the crank and bottom bracket and bearin cups, i have to say thanks for the clip it helped out alot
Bikeman looks like he knows how to party!
Perfect! Just what I needed to fix our Schwinn excercise bike!
Fantastic teaching thank you bro. I learn how to do it now I am able to fix my self. Thank you a lot
He stuck it in there right as camera guy was going around to the other side of the bike at 9:21, then it showed BikemanforU putting more grease in behind the left side bearing when he said "don't be cheap with the grease".
I had to watch this again to see the quality Wald ? bearings you use and that fancy new tool good job !! Bikeman Rules !!
you ate an amazing encyclopedia of bike repair.
Followed the video while installing a new BB on my Schwinn Swindler. Thanks!
thanks for the video! I ordered a one piece crank off ebay...I didn't know it was you guys....excellent! it arrived quickly and it fits the bike...thanks!!!
thanks. now I know what to look for:) and I really hate this system... you need 2 nuts to ease the tension and save the thread. the original it just ridiculously thin fort its' job. wish I knew earlier! :(
I want to thank you for making this video. I learned a lot from your teachings. Greetings from Argentina.
A friend of mine had his pedal snap off while going up a hill. It took 33 stitches inside and out of his leg to close the gash back up. He's lucky he did not cut his tendon.
He is a true goat, eleven years ago..
this is the 3rd or 4th bottom bracket overhaul vid i've seen that had appleseeds stored in the bb. must be some ancient anti-moisture concept.
First time on your site.....LOVE IT! Like your commentary feels like you answer my question às it hits me. YOU ARE MY BIKE MAN
Well I gotta replace my pedal sprocket I bent it yesterday tried to straighten but chain keeps coming off where it was bent this video definitely helped
Much love Bike Man! Couldn't find a vid on this old style of BB till now. Rock On!
We got vids on how to convert it too
dope! I just found out how cheap cartridge bottom brackets are. Probably gonna do the upgrade.
Thank you BikeMan. I may see if I can find a bike shop to put a new set of bearings on both of my bikes. I have not been riding my bikes because of the of the "knocking inside the bike pedals".
very good fireman.
My one piece crank on an old school bmx will not pull through without removing the right side bearing cup. I'm here to make sure that just knocking it out is the right think to do. I think it might be more difficult to put back on though. Great video. Subscribed.
The East Coast Version of Trailer Park Boys. Love these guys.
A few things you are missing for bike addons are a car radio, lighting, and a battery.
very badly filmed, yet I learned what I needed to learn.
THANK YOU ,,, YOU HELPED ME A LOT,,,SHOWING MY 10 YR OLD WHAT TO DO..
THANKS...
is this the same kind of bottom bracket on Walmart bikes? I want to help fix my friends bike and it's a Genesis from walmart
might be a good idea to show the newbies the right way to fix loose fitting cups,it's a difficult thing to fix,need to score inside the bb tube with a hammer & punch,i fixed a bmx by jamming a sliver of paper between the edge of the cup & bb tube,not ideal (very dodgy lol) but it was a temporary fix until i could get the punch to do it properly :)
You ten Best Bike man! I like your vedeo on the assembly of an old fashion crank...thanks on your expertise..I now can change my son's bike!!!
you've got the tools, you've got the talent. Nice
hey bikeman keep up the good work man your videos are hella entertaining and not boring and also very informative :)
BikemandforU, the yellow Pin spanner you use at 10:00 with the flats has been discontinued by Park Tool (SPA-4).
Thanks for the Vid! helped out alot, I was really confused about upgrading to 3 piece cranks but i didn't know if my bike was compatible. Had no clue the bearing cups( didn't even know it had a name too) could be removed. again, thanks!
Most bikes that sell today are entry level. So most bikes today still use these 1 piece cranks, including almost all cheap BMX bikes
You my friend are AMERICA!GOD BLESS YOU YOUR CREW & MOST OF ALL, AMERICA!!! Stay safe fellas!!
What happened to the bearings on the left hand side?
Do what he said and put both bearings on both sides with the ball thing he's facing inward and make sure you add the grease cuz I know from experience you're wearing down quicker without Grease I learned that the hard way
He must have put it in there, it is hiding in the grease, pops out for a second while he is tightening the bearing cap (?)
I sure as hell didn’t see it. lol.
Thanks a lot man, I fix my bike thanks to this video, once again thanks for your help
@6:45. Some sort of multi-size wrench; just curious. Think I used something similar, but it's actually a plumbing tool. Anyhow, great info, saved me a trip to the repair shop.
very easy instructions
Hi there! Your video was helpful for my wife and I. Thank you!
Excellent. Perfect description. Muchas gracias.
my husband likes to call the "kentucky " socket the "universal metric"!
I like that..
Fantastic video,very helpful,can I ask what grease was used,name brand,and type perhaps,great video.
Do one on replacement of wheels bearings. Great job
The cameraman from 4:26 to 4:33 sounds like Christopher Walken
Thanks for the video. Couldn't have done it without your help :)
thanks for the vid bikeman..iam gonna be doing my 70's columbia sports 3 crank this coming week
Sick vid bro...... exactly what I needed...
Love that bearing cup tool./ Wonder what Pesci would have used it for in a movie ?
You are 1 minute late mr Bikeman .But its ok because you have a sense of humor.
Yes. You will need a converter we just shot the video so stay tuned
yup will do a vid...The bikes like new but iam gonna rip it apart and repack the bearings and clean it up since its seen almost no time ridden..!00% original!! I even got the matching mens ladies pair..got them for 20$
Really helped me out i use my bike alot
Cameraman is like my mom during a video call where all I can see is up her nose. Jk great video.
yes you can you need a converter. We have a vid on that too.. Go to our bottom bracket play list
Hey any ideas of how to replace the one piece crankset on a schwinn delmar beach cruiser bike? I called my bike sarge and sarge is my daily rider. Put alot of low miles on her till the cranks we're shot and it's making a creaking noise. This video helps me alot i love the video good job on the video bikeman
ok that metal ring with threads that go on right after the bearings right at the end the one that took the longest to thread.How important is it on how tight you turn it to hold the bearings in? I hand tighten it then taped it with a flathead screwdriver to tighten it? Thank you for your time.
***** thanks
I'm in Fairhaven,Massachusetts
Awsome vid! Did this to my 57' schwinn the other day. Cleaned up the bearings and they looks brand new. Wonder where your new bearings are made..... Seems like the old ones last forever
Yes he is back on his bike and went to the pedals you are installing on this bike. I don't know why but I guess he feels they are safer. What's your view on cranks and strength?
Thanks
How did you remove the sproket? I want to. Replace it and I tried getting it off with a hammer and a punch
Joseph Holcomb On a one-piece crank you need to remove the crank from the frame. Then, you must remove the drive side BB cone, which usually requires a special bicycle-specific wrench like the Park BBT4(check to be sure, you can simply bring the bike into your local bike shop and ask them for the right tool). Some bicycles like my '75 Schwinn Continental have drive side cones that can be removed using a large adjustable wrench. Once you get that drive side cone off the chainring will come off without any effort, although there may be corrosion bonding between the drive pin on the crank and the hole on the ring but it should come off with a good tap.
If you have a multi-ring setup like ones found on old school Schwinn 10-speeds, the chainrings come off as an assembly with the chainguard. The chainrings on my Conti are set up with the outer ring and chainguard attached to the inner ring with five 8mm hex bolts. To separate them simply remove the bolts using a standard wrench. When reattaching remember to tighten in a cross pattern.
The hard part is finding replacement chainrings for one piece cranks if you have a double or triple. If this is your case let me know and I can give you some options.
your a hands down stud great vid
2:05 remember these days back when UA-camrs didn't intentionally make videos 10 minutes and 1 second so they could add more ads lol
weed plant seeds he was hiding them from the cops lol
My son just purchased a 1948 Sunshine Waterloo Co bike and he is restoring it. Would you happen to know where he could be the bearing kit from or even if they still make it? Great Video by the way.
