    If you put a cloth or Allen key between your sprocket and chain and then tighten everything by turning the wheel so that pressure is created, it also helps to maintain tension while you tighten the axle

      You’re right though, definitely have to find some little hacks and tricks to keep these bikes running smoothly and properly. Headset wobble is nasty for sure and there isn’t many options on headsets for these bikes either 👎🏻

    • @mattfrancisofficial
      @mattfrancisofficial  4 місяці тому

      I would try a new stem. If the stem is tightened correctly and the bars still move then something is definitely not right with it.
      It may have stretched/worn over time and its not clamping the bars how it should. May even have to replace the bars too as they may have worn over time too, this is very unlikely but always a possibility 💯🔋⚡️

      I would say so. They do also have a spring to help out. I would check the psi still on the forks. If they are a bit under now they’ll feel amazing when put back to 150/200psi

    • @mattfrancisofficial
      @mattfrancisofficial  10 місяців тому +2

      Thanks, as for the helmet there is a number of reasons. 1. Safety first 2. Surrons aren’t exactly the most legal bikes to be riding here in the UK (although i try ride in legal spots as much as possible) 3. It’s just not necessary to see my face. I dont particularly want people knowing exactly who i am. There’s a lot scumbags who would potentially notice me in public, follow me home and steal my bike if they could see my face and identify me by my face. 4. What i look like is irrelevant to the videos I make and it’s just one less thing to distract people from the point of the content i make. 👍🏻

    Tip: Don't don't just rub grease around the bearing. Watch a bearing packing video. Otherwise, you might as well not do it at all as that doesn't last long. Bearing packing takes a bit of time, but it's meant to be packed fully if you don't wanna keep redoing every few months

    • @mattfrancisofficial
      @mattfrancisofficial  9 місяців тому

      Yes i’m aware that the bearings need to be properly packed as that will keep it greased/lubed for the longest amount of time. I tend to re grease my headset every 2/3 months anyway! Appreciate the advice though man! 🔋⚡️

    For a squeaking belt you have to properly tension it

    • @mattfrancisofficial
      @mattfrancisofficial  Рік тому +2

      That is correct but mine also squeaks when tensioned correctly. If i make it any looser then it will slip on the pulleys 😩

    • @wonderwook3919
      @wonderwook3919 Рік тому

      My theory about that is you may have gotten wd40 on it when you were greasing your jackshaft bearings, and that might be why it's acting up. I really like the idea, though I'd just spray it further in the tube.

    • @mattfrancisofficial
      @mattfrancisofficial  10 місяців тому

      I did have a problem with this at one point and the best i can recommend to do is invest in the warp9 stem lock! It replaces the star nit that sits in the forks and keeps the headset nice and tight. Since installing it i’ve never had to touch it. It has stayed tight and makes the whole headset feel better. While you’re in there it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change the headset bearings and cups if this is something you’re capable of. Would make a good a difference 🙌🏻🔋⚡️
