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.

Sure

Cool

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.

?

@@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.

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.

No, not Fuji but another well- known brand wheelset that found a new owner pretty quick.

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.

My neighbour's bike, which he rides infrequently. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! Nobody wants a droopy rack, that's for sure.

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.

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!

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🤣!

Do you smell burnt toast?😆 In all seriousness though, explain how it's not? Convince me.

I'll accept it this time lol!

Thanks for the comment! It was defective and promptly refunded!

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.🤣

Couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks for the comment!

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!👍

😕WTF?🤣

😁

Thanks for the comment! That's the point but you'd need to hear the entire song to get my perspective, preferably by subscribing!

It needed a new home!

RIP😇

Flip flop bro, flip flop🗣️

I'd like to know the original bike brand.

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.

Read the title, bigboss!

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.

Not me brother, not me. Thanks for commenting!

I appreciate the comment! Keep learning and helping and even more will come!🤜

No explanation either? I'd love to hear why!

You watched it all? Thanks bro!

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. 😃

Thanks for the positive response! Yeah, don't let the bike-shop bullies boss you around!💪

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?🤷‍♀

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 literally doesn't.

@@lenolenoleno Oooo, burn 🤣

Thank you for your observation, view and comment!

Thanks! Saving money is also like making FREE money💰. Keep watching and you'll see my method of making money from home🤑!

yup!

Weeeeeeeee!

Yeah, either the headtube or the fork legs are off somehow.🤔

It's just a threadless headset comprising a crown race, cartridge bearings, compression ring (wedge), dust cap, spacers and a top cap w/bolt.

Thanks for the question. Where did you hear/read this? Just so I can see what you're saying in context. Seems like a good video topic🤔!
