Unveiling The Must-know Truth: Do You Really Need A Bike Helmet By Law?
Garbage
+@user-ct4jc3te7j Ouch! That’s a little harsh. Have you had this bike?
One would think that a company with their history would take customer service seriously - they DON'T - Beware!
+@jamesbrittain9564 did you have a problem with their product?
Yeah, um. You sound pleasant. I'm sure that they treated you accordingly.
@@ericbeech2652 Your one of those I see - doubting those that carry truth.
@jamesbrittain9564 you left a negative comment on this channel. The channel kindly asked you about the issue that you encountered, and you ignored them. You responded immediately when someone called you out for YOU being the problem.
@@ericbeech2652Wow! Dog those who speak truth - tells you all we need to know about you.
thank you rehab is a slow process I needed to hear so much of what he just saiaid thank you both so much
+@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte it seems so impossible at the beginning but if you hang in there you come out better!
Do you recommend charging the batteries after each ride and maintaining them fully charged if you ride daily?
+@afshinghafouri6984 There’s no harm to doing it and I personally like starting my rides with a full charge.
Well done
+@joehoeper4648 Thanks!
I think it would be a good idea if the cone nut and outer nut had an alignment mark. This way you'll know the factory tightening nut setting.
+@ebikescrapper3925 the trick would be that the adjustment changes with wear.
It would give a good indication on where to start the adjustment. Thanks for replying.
Really like the way you explained this. Subscribed and keen for more.
+@noconcept5735 Thank you! Working on a new drop as we speak
Put your charger on ac timer to make sure it gets turned off
+@rcwck Actually not a bad strategy at all!
I love the fact that you climbed under the truck just to get that shot❤
+@Steely_wire54 It’s method acting. I’ve actually been there!
@@cyclecrafttv great job brother and ride safe
Do you even ride, or is all this energy and hype nothing more than a way to sell more crap?
+@brianbassett4379 I ride all kinds of bikes! Lately working back from broken clavicle but, yeah, you name it I’ve ridden it.
+@brianbassett4379 worth mentioning also that I’ve been fixing bikes for 30 years. But for transparency I do also sell bikes. Sorry if I seem hype-y but, I do loves me some cycling.
a lot of sound...and a lot of drag....that thing slows down fast.
+@skinny8019 it’s all about that pedaling though!
If you use threaded headset common problem is setting the stem too high above insertion line, that damages the threads
+@romanmentor9238 not to mention the risk of the stem disengaging from the head tube. Always mind the safety line!
Also, not all brake discs are compatible with sintered brake pads! 👏 Make sure your discs are compatible before you replace your pads on your bike or else you’ll have a bad time, they will fuck up your discs and you will have little metal shavings all up in your hub and shit. There are three different types of brake pads. Organic (softest), resin and sintered (hardest). Resin pads are perfectly fine for most people and most uses.
+@UskInaTE good point on the rotors! I did fail to mention that.
I’d love to see a video on hub adjustment and preload taking into account that the quick release adds another load on the bearings
+@mattflanagan7519 stay tuned-it’s coming!
nice a actual sound clip! good job!
+@abbittwilkerson2388 🙏thanks!
Industry Nine SOLiX G sound check. ruclips.net/user/shortsiO1ym3hI4lY?feature=share Mounted with a tire and on the bike. More quiet than hydra.
i need to get some cone spanners i have cheap hubs tho so if i slightly over tighten its not too bad , been wanting to build my own wheelset and the only affordable reputable hubs are shimano cup and cone hubs a part 2 in my case isnt needed but i would like to see it as not many people know how to set up thier bearings
+@donavinnezar The Shimano hubs are actually pretty nice! Not too expensive and very durable.
Good information to know for sure, I would watch a part 2.
+@BodieOutdoors we’ll have to get that together!
Yes sounds good and also talk about preload
+@tonygenovese6239 I think a part two is in order!
Yes please!
+@dragon2755 one for road and one for gravel?
in the case of sram hydraulics , metallic all the way , shimano or tektro im fine with resin
+@donavinnezar That’s a solid plan!
Metallic all the way
+@giancarloespejo2223 👍
Incorrect. There are many scenarios where resin is the better choice.
Metallic all the way
+@giancarloespejo2223 I tend to recommend metallic as well! But some folks don’t like the scrapey sound.
I'm so disgusted to learn the hard way, that a flimsy kickstand can lead to a tipped over bike... which can lead to a bent derailleur... which can lead to the derailleur bumping bike spokes... which can lead to broken spokes... which can lead to a messed up wheel needing overhauling... and need for a new derailleur (eventually, after enough years of bending the hangar back, & more & more falls... until you are finally fixing the whole bike)... & concern about the chain being twisted out of shape... , & PRAYING all the way home.... & some serious swipes into the aluminum frame, getting thin spots... I'm Kick stand shopping right now at the SAME time I fix all these other parts... or maybe to mod the one i have with addition of a rubber tip used on crutches. Definitely LOVE kickstands. They are your friend. Blessings. Peace.
+@cchemmes-seeseeart3948 and good kickstands are not that costly!
Definitely a great investment. @@cyclecrafttv
Spot on!! Great video!! thanks
Thanks for watching!
How awesome ❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you!
+@lekobiashvili945 Happy to help! 😀
Nice. I've never understood the mini-pumps. I have the full sized frame pumps from Zefal and they work just fine and pump a tire up fairly quickly. Way less work than a mini-pump. Either way, I have a nice floor pump at home and carry everything that you mention in the video. Better safe than sorry.
+@johnandrus3901 some folks don’t like the aesthetics of the full size frame pump but there’s no denying it works way better!
Excellent. A little pace-line story. I was riding in TOSRV and we had a nice pace-ling going. We were cruising at a real fast pace, when we hear 'On your left'. Going past us was a line of tandems. It was almost like we were standing still. I vowed to eventually get a tandem and later found one at my local shop that a gentleman was selling after his boy got into other things that kids do. It is a fun bike to ride.
+@johnandrus3901 I love riding our tandem!
Whats the author of the book you mentioned?
+@joselarrarte6964 Jobst Brandt.
Best option or suggestion for having a custom battery made?
+@UrDadsFavouriteMaleEscort Not sure about that! You would need someone who understands what needs to be done to get voltages correct and regulated, and is able to wire in protective circuits to avoid overloads. I personally don’t know anyone like that. I would start with an electrical engineer though.
at 46 u just learned me lol thank you
Stay safe out there!
my headset is shot, if i loosen it anymore i get clunking ,but i dont wanna tighten it more coz it already feels indexed
+@donavinnezar you’re going to want to replace that!
i need to learn to build wheels , finding decent affordable wheels are becoming impossible ik it will technically cost more than buying pre assembled wheelsets but as someone that earns very little , buyig a wheel in parts is a easyer pill to swallow
+@donavinnezar and you can be pretty creative with colors! Be patient and take your time. It’s a vey satisfying feeling to build your own wheels!
Why would I need a multitool,If my bike from 2000s mostly needs wrench spanners
+@romanmentor9238 in that case a small adjustable wrench might be better. Or perhaps the “dog bone” type of wrench.
I appreciate your intent but the 20,000 foot view is steel for frames and aluminum for rims with rim brakes is a far and away more reliable system. I ride a 40 year old frame with 20 year old parts.....can't do that with anything carbon! Don't need a check-up just regular service and very little of that with sealed bearings. Just tires and brake pads with an occasional cleaning.
About the technical derails I don't know, but the traditional materials are long-lasting and fun to ride
+@anielyantra1 For lots of folks though, having a trained eye looking over their bike is a good way to spot things that need attention before they blossom into bigger problem. Even a steel frame that has an underlying weld defect can be caught before it fails!
+@anielyantra1 The check up is also a good way make sure you’re getting your regular service
+@BartAnderson_writer Agreed!
Need this vid - will be applying the knowledge to my bike wheels.
+@kingdomculture5743 safety first!
A tension spoked cycle wheel is an example of a tensegrity, a mixture of rigid elements and tension elements creating a structure where the rigid elements don't touch each other. I build wheels on a stand with 2 dial tolerance indicators, DTI's, one vertical and one lateral. My target trueness is plus or minus 0.05 mm vertical, lateral and dish. Tension is the last parameter and it usually gives an indication of the accuracy of the join in the rim. Set and chase 0's on the DTI's and tension guage value. I also write inside the rim in spirit marker the build date, The spokes lengths used, The customer, A number from 1 to 10, usually 7 or 8, representing how good I think the build finished. The join being the limiting factor on most new rims.
+@davidcroxton8306 A good illustration on the engineering and subtle art of wheel building!
There are some apps available that will help tension spokes by the tone/frequently when plucked. You set the spoke guage, shape and distance from last cross to hub and then it will approximate tension based on frequency of pluck. Not a replacement for a tensiometer but probably "better than nothing" to help achieve even tension and closer to accurate that guessing. I've evened out several wheels with it and subscribe to the belief that evenly tensioned but maybe all a bit low is better that uneven.
+@mike_f i will have to check that out! Totally agree on the even tension being a worthy goal.
Why rely on an app when there are exceptional tools available that are foolproof. Everybody wants to use electronics and an app for a quick fix... press a button boom! Food is delivered to your door. Press a button and boom! You're on a date. Press a button boom and you can access your bank account (and by the way so can other people you've just been lucky so far...🙄) Relying on pushing a button for a quick fix is the path to mediocrity and dependency. Society gravitates more and more towards the easy way out and forgoes hard work... Society begins to collapse as it is happening in real time. It's unfortunate that the majority of Muppets do not understand what's happening 🤷♂️
First thing we threw away in the 80’s was the kick stand and reflectors. Bmx bikes were quite stable upside down on the bars and seat. As an adult that sometimes used one for commuting, it made sense to have one. A few of my bikes recently have retained their kickstands since they haven’t flopped about on rough terrain. I think the general public appreciates not having my fat tire bike sprawled across the sidewalk.
+@helidude3502 just had a picture in my mind of you with your bmx bike upside down on the sidewalk working with pliers and a screwdriver-that’s where we all started!
4:26 why can you spot rim flex only on rim brakes on not on disc rims?
+@oreocarlton3343 if the rim is way out you can. I’m a rim brake, with the pad close to the rim, small deviations are easily seen. On a disc wheel, if you can see the side to side movement, your wheel is in seriousness of attention!
+@cyclecrafttv “in a rim brake “ and “serious need of attention “ (fat finger typos!)
@@cyclecrafttv ah yes, because the pads on the rim brakes are a more precise reference point that fork legs. Also rim VS disc brake differences are very noticable in how you have to build a wheel, I miss seeing radial front wheels.
+@oreocarlton3343 yeah, radial lacing just can’t take the torque generated by the disc.
Now I know what that noise was.
+@igorbystrycky1376 might have been your knees!
That really is an art. So glad I can count on you to true my wheels. Great video!
+@catherinebrennan-zc1el 🙏
Don't leave home... without a floor pump?
+@user-cx2bk6pm2f don’t leave home without using one first!
Excellent information to keep riding.

This is great information!
+@catherinebrennan-zc1el Thank you!🙏
Damn. Awesome video, so good!
+@user-cx2bk6pm2f Thank you 🙏
I have a similar issue with a 1989 Trek 1000 which uses a quill stem and every few months or so I find the headset has loosened and is able to rack back and forth, so I just retighten it. Wondering if it's fine to just keep retightening or should I get it replaced with a modern headset?
+@bsamexican on that type of headset you may be missing the washer with the tab that fits in groove. Usually goes between the adjuster and the lock nut. It’s also possible that the fork is a little to tall to allow the lock nut to tighten down all the way. That said, threaded headsets do need adjustment more often. A newer headset could be a help.
They used to make a locking top nut for quill headsets. I have one on my old Raleigh mtb. Once installed never needed adjustment.
@@johndef5075 Those were great!
Good information here folks!
+@Pags222 🙏
If you are sitting at home worried about your headset being loose before following brendons words of wisdom go grab your headset spacers (if you have any)under your stem if you can move them with your hands you need to adjust/add tension to that headset cap bolt. Good quick way to check pre/post ride
