I reuse everything and so can you! I'm doing these projects anyways, so why not share with everyone?
Although I can simply buy all the latest kit, it would defeat the purpose of the channel! There's no point in buying anything new with so many usable items accessible for FREE, discarded every week! Watch as I acquire better equipment for FREE to showcase all the other items I get for FREE. I'm sure my film making skills will improve as well lol!
I'm a purist full strip and rebuild hobbyist and collector mostly related to bikes, wheels and their parts. My hobby perpetually pays for itself because I harvest and reuse as much as possible.

Respoke a deep-V single speed bicycle wheel
Any built hub and wheel combos out there? I know how but don't want to spoke my own set
Of course, bike wheels have been mass produced for several decades; so check the bike coops, bike shop trash, and the curb on garbage day for cheap or free stuff. However, the focus of my channel is to reuse/recycle/rebuild old damaged wheels into useable ones for free.
Couldn’t you use a star nut?
16:23 the same thing is with the position of the spokes that transmit the braking force, they should be inside because they are less bent. otherwise, when I make wheels in series, I make 5 front and 5 rear, the average time for assembly is 12-13 minutes without rush plus 15-16 minutes for truing per wheel, about half an hour in total
Sure
There are 100 ways to lace a wheel, but only one is the fastest, and it's not the one you're using, firstly, it would be easier if you were sitting and the rim rested on the chair, secondly, the other spoke that you installed to the other side, you shouldn't have put it on the other side already on the same side so that it is parallel to the first spoke, paying attention to the number of crosses, the third wheel is done in quarters, half of the right side, half of the left side, then the second half of the right side, then the second half of the left side, that's why at 9:43 you have a problem with pulling the spokes which would be much smaller if you worked in quarters
Cool
5:10 that spoke you are holding in your hand should have been pulled through the other way around, from the inside and not from the outside, because it is the most loaded spoke, apart from the fact that it is on the right side of the wheel and also transmits pedaling power. this way it is more bent and exposed to damage if the chain falls into the spokes
Nah, it's fine
@@hobbybike51 I'm not saying that the wheel will fall apart, but if you want it to be 100% the best made possible, you should use every opportunity to do so.
@@makantahi3731 Dude, you're confusing lacing patterns. Please take the time to review the Shimano service manual, try BR-M765.🙂
@@hobbybike51 I'm not confused about how to make a wheel, but you put the spoke in the hub from the wrong side, if you put it on the right side, then the working spokes on the right side would not go from the outside but from the inside, it doesn't matter, you do what you do, you're doing great if you learned everything yourself, and what I'm talking about is an advanced course
I agree but this video concentrates on the Shimano standard for disc brake hubs, as the title specifies. Attention to detail is essential so check my vids on Sheldon Brown lacing.
3:04 there is no park tool either, so you don't have a tool to insert the nipple into the rim either, they use matches
?
@@hobbybike51 I watched a park tool video where they assemble the wheel and use matches to install the nipples: I was shocked, I asked them why they didn't invent some kind of tool for that purpose when they already invented a bunch of unnecessary tools and a smaller number of useful tools. I even gave them the idea to use a 5 cm long bit for a battery screwdriver-for a flat screw, sand off the sides so that a 3-5 mm long tail remains on which the nipple can be put and inserted into the rim and the initial screwing done. I also use such bits in order to initially screw all the nipples equally on one side, depending on how long the tail is, a shorter tail enables more screwing, a longer one less. this saves a lot of time when the same wheels are made serially, on the first pair I find out what, how much and how, and then it just repeats itself
I truly appreciate that you share the same enthusiasm for building bike wheels through your comments; however, I think you focus too much on the minutia, such as minor tools and speed! Consider watching my videos through the lens of a social critique on the outcome of mass production and how to take advantage of it.
does this actually work? I've been wanting to reduce toelap on my fixed gear and I think using a threaded fork is the only way (in my budget), but I have a non-integrated threadless headset and a threadless fork.
It works but only because the old quill stem I cut off is seized into the headtube, acting as a star nut and reinforcing the inner walls of the threaded steerer tube. That said, if you don't care about the threaded fork you'll be using then just glue in a quill stem (like construction adhesive), cut it and try it out.
@@hobbybike51 but would it still work if I use an actual star nut instead of a cutout quill stem?
Not in my opinion, the steerer walls are too thin. The video is about using a trashed fork with a seized quill stem. That said, I’m sure people do it.
Are those Fuji wheels I have the same exact ones on my trek 820
No, not Fuji but another well- known brand wheelset that found a new owner pretty quick.
To tighten spokes the right side, are you going clockwise or counter and the same for the left side. Thanks
It's always a bit of both. I'll explain it in detail in another video. Thanks for the question but the answer isn't so simple.
Not using the bike enough!!
My neighbour's bike, which he rides infrequently. Thanks for the comment!
Pretty fast and useful, thank you❤❤
👏👏
She has a nice rack
Thanks! Nobody wants a droopy rack, that's for sure.
What brand is the bike @hobbybike? Appears to be a vintage frame. I have vintage GT's. Just wondering if the bottom bracket situation is at all similar. GT Outpost Trail & GT Palomar, both large mtbs.
Thanks for the comment 👍 ! No clue what make/model but it can't be too old since the fork is threadless, but old enough to be heavier steel; probs early 2000s. This one has the standard 68mm BB shell, even though the BB is labelled BB73 @ 4:17. One thing distinctive about older GT models is the extended seat stay at the seatpost/TT area, which this frame lacks.
DO NOT POWER WASH or spray water under high pressure to clean. Power washing will force contaminants into parts where they will promote corrosion, immediately damage, or result in accelerated wear. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO DRY. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CHEMICAL CLEANER/SOLVENTS which can damage the finish or attack and destroy both the outside and internal parts. When rinsing, avoid directing the spray directly at shock/fork adjusters or bearings. genius
It's a rescue bike in a car wash lol! How much pressure is too much? Give some examples to help the masses. Oh, and thanks for the comment!
she's pretty brave for letting you do this as this kind of thing is usually done by a professional. i'm sure both of you'll enjoy having it.
Satisfying my wife has, is and always will be FREE! No professional help needed, but you do you and seek assistance in whatever you need🤣!
What happens to your level rack when you're going uphill? It's no longer level. Bet you didn't think of that.
Do you smell burnt toast?😆 In all seriousness though, explain how it's not? Convince me.
Usually when a dude is talking to people about his wife's rack, he's going to get into some hot water.
I'll accept it this time lol!
I've had same problem with Shwalbe Crazybob on my Mavic's rim (Mavic325) That depends of inside ø tire and there are not same standards with small differences
Thanks for the comment! It was defective and promptly refunded!
its not a fixie if it has breaks
All good! Thanks for the comment and you're not wrong.
Is a fixie not just a bike with a fixed gear? That's what i think, most fixies come with a front break too
@@Demoniczny09 Thanks for the comment! The guy to whom you're replying seems like a true purist! However, I think the designation of fixie has evolved over the years. I've had dudes try to sell me fixies only for them to actually be ghetto single speeds.🤣
Them ring wrench blow 😢😂
Couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks for the comment!
Nice! Now I am searching for a cheap trainer lol. Always wanted to learn truing and wheel building but do not really have to funds for park tool truing stand. Oh new sub from me as well.
Thanks for the support! The goal of the channel is to do everything free or as cheaply as possible. I could learn from you as you learn, too!👍
The reason why it's just called freewheel fixie.
😕WTF?🤣
Good one
😁
This song is so distracting. The guitar and 808's are off beat with each other
Thanks for the comment! That's the point but you'd need to hear the entire song to get my perspective, preferably by subscribing!
Looks oddly familiar
It needed a new home!
It killed me when you put the freewheel on misleading title!
RIP😇
Flip flop bro, flip flop🗣️
I'd like to know the original bike brand.
“You could get SCAMMED if you don’t know this is here” no, it’s called knowledge. You pay a bike shop for their tools, time, and talent. Tools such as a torque wrench. Talent such as not clamping on the top tube. Also, your barrel adjuster is SUPER far out. You’ve gotta find a new shop. Our shop only sells parts if you actually need them. It’s very uncommon that we replace derailleurs. Front derailleurs are a pain to work with. At least your tire wear point is somewhat accurate. The two holes are different depths. Once the first hole disappears, it’s a sort of warning. Once both are gone, they need replacing.
I have already achieved success doing this because of low talent and knowledge at bike shops (don't forget the fly-by-night garage guys that appeared during COVID), which is why I'm doing youtube😆; you don't do youtube if you're NOT ALREADY successful! I don't use shops, but the owner of this bike did which begs the question: why is that bike on this video? However, I do appreciate that you actually watched the vid and accept your opinions.
I won’t take advice from ANYONE clamping a carbon frame by the top tube and not using a torque wrench. Thats NOT how to work with carbon. Any bike shop worth its salt should have free estimates or free appointment consultations. This isn’t “bike shop scams” this is basic bike maintenance anyone can learn… Not sure what shop you went too/or worked at but this is not the right tone to have with this. Here is an idea. Price shop menus 45-60 min from your house and chose accordingly.
Read the title, bigboss!
You seem to have a really low opinion of bike shops, perhaps you’ve been scammed at some point but I think this is a really unfair way to portray them by suggesting everything is a scam. Many jobs on bikes are quite simple but that doesn’t mean that we should always assume we should do them ourselves because a shop will scam us, at some point even the best home mechanic will more than likely require the services of a good shop. Your point about bolts being undone so far and then done back up the same amount is no excuse for not using a decent torque wrench, it’s just good practice to use the right tools for the job, your way assumes the bolt was at the correct setting to start with which is hugely flawed. Finally what you did with that chain dropping it to the inside of the chainrings onto the paint and turning the cranks….🤦 I’m glad you’re not working on any of my bikes.
I've never been scammed, but others have. I don't assume this, others have proven it. You paying for everyone to have a torque wrench? You should watch the video again, look and listen closely before making assumptions. Thanks for a comment.
@@hobbybike51 bro if you are working on a 1k+ carbon bike, you can afford a $50 torque wrench. Hell they are cheaper than that if you get the preset ones. If you have a carbon bike you should have a torque wrench. Your logic is like this "If I only have a sledge hammer why should I buy a claw hammer to hang a picture?"
@@hobbybike51Whatever the work, you use the right tools.
@@ChiTownBrownie89This clown would use the sledgehammer and tell people to just not hit it as hard.
Sounds like you went to some shady shop.
Not me brother, not me. Thanks for commenting!
I need help, so I mechanic,,,,they come
I appreciate the comment! Keep learning and helping and even more will come!🤜
I lasted 4 minutes in to the video when i saw you not use a torque wrench for the carbon seat post and as already mentioned by others clamping a carbon top tube in a work stand. Please stop doling out bad advice and leave the bicycle maintenance to the professionals.
No explanation either? I'd love to hear why!
Guy needs to look up the word “Scam.” The only Scam is losing 12 minutes of my life watching this garbage. What a 🤡
You watched it all? Thanks bro!
Some good tips. Also watch out for bike shops that don't let you know what you need just go ahead and replace parts on you. Some bike shops will even remove you're high performance parts and put on cheap ones if you aren't careful. I've had fellow Cyclist having these experiences. Even I've had this happen and requested my parts be put back. I try to do as much of my own work on my own bikes because of this. Slowly building my cycling tool set.
Thanks for the additional info to help others out! I've built my array of tools by fixing up bikes I found for free at the curb and resell them cheaply to uni students, young families and so on. 😃
Good tips every bike owner should be aware of. There are so many things the average rider can learn to maintain themselves!
Thanks for the positive response! Yeah, don't let the bike-shop bullies boss you around!💪
Don't forget to PROVE your claims on that top tube clamp gripe, don't just parrot! In the meantime, Check this recent reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1duwhfh/bike_repair/
Holy crap this video is full of absolutely terrible advice. Who call's Aksium wheels "Expensive"? I don't get how any of these are "SCAMS" - bring your bike into a bike shop extremely dirty (which makes it super annoying to work on/fix). No bike shop would re-dish a whole wheel without checking alignment.
Listen to richy rich here😆! It's all the truth. Your listening skills are weak. Watch again, bigboss!
I made it to 8:50, he was checking for chain wear with a 12 inch ruler!
@@Randombourg And?🤷♀
First off, you do not put bike on stand via the top tube.
Why not? Bro science or just parroting?🤣
Bonus for calling that out...First thing I noticed also. If the first move is to clamp my carbon bike in the middle of the top tube, most likely a "scam" tech. 🤡🌎
Why's that? Trust me bro science again?
@@hobbybike51 because its easy to over clamp carbon and crack it. Also you tapping is a myth, lots of carbon repair places do not recommend that as paint can effect it, hell xray is even outdated now.
@@ChiTownBrownie89 Thanks for answering since none of the bullies could🤣! Think about it: that little clamp will crack carbon fiber frame? Really? In comparison with all the stress the stays/joints take? It's just parroting, like lawyer lips. Yeah, fingernail tapping is about all one has though.
It amazes me that it costs more to service a bicycle than it is to service a car.
It literally doesn't.

Bro if the helmet wasnt on hed actually be dead😊
The ending reminds me of the wild west days of the internet. Gonads and strife!

My guess is the inner housing wasnt machined perfectly so the bearings dont sit flat so she turns to the lowest spot
Yeah, either the headtube or the fork legs are off somehow.🤔
Hello sir what is this to use to up the stem please name this component
It's just a threadless headset comprising a crown race, cartridge bearings, compression ring (wedge), dust cap, spacers and a top cap w/bolt.
