Park Tool vs Temu Tools - which one should you buy?
Here's the second video in my little foray into Temu bike tools. This week we are looking at the Temu equivalent of the Park Tool AWS-1. It's $1.20 worth of tools. Is that an absolute bargain? Or should you save your money?

Cheap Bike Tools from TEMU - Are They Worth It? - Bucklos Headset Remover Tool
Просмотров 8221 день назад
Bike tools are super expensive, but not if you look on TEMU. So what gives? Are these tools any good? And should you buy them? I've decided to buy a load of tools from TEMU, and I'll be reviewing them over the coming weeks. First up we have a Bucklos Headset Remover, which set me back 6chf (roughly $6). Was it a bad investment? Will it fall apart in my hands? Be sure to watch the video and find...
Specialized Bike - strip down time-lapse
Просмотров 23Месяц назад
The frame of this bike was damaged in a robbery, and so I ended up stripping off all the components so that I can use them on other projects. And I thought, heck, why not make a time-lapse of the whole thing. Here we are. Taking apart a bike. In reality it was about 15 minutes, but here is the 43 second version. Happy days.
Days Out In Geneva - Musée Rath's Bicycle Exhibition

There was an extraordinary amount to look at, from examples of bikes to bike components to interactive displays explaining the physics of bikes. And most surprisingly, there was no one there! If you are in Geneva then be a good sausage and toddle along to take a look. I...

    Do you have to change the derailer to get the bigger rings? (I'm aware shifter has to be changed) I just got one bigger ring and adjusted so it won't go in highest, but I will have the climbing gear because I pull trailer with 50-60ish pounds often..

    • @RachelRidesBikes
      @RachelRidesBikes 2 месяца назад

      If you’re adding a larger cassette (as in going from a 9 to a 10) then you’ll have to change derailleur. If you’re getting a bigger cassette with the same amount of cogs just with larger gear ratios then you won’t need to, you just have to check chain length. Hope that answers your question.

    • @YoungSwagg909
      @YoungSwagg909 2 месяца назад

      @@RachelRidesBikeshey man this isn’t necessarily true, as long as the derailleur has enough travel for the gears, just swapping the shifter will do the job. Indexing is only in the shifter, not the derailleur. For shimano any 8-10 speed derailleur will work with 8, 9, or 10 speeds with the right shifter.

    I have been using one for two years. Its absolutely great when it works with about 4-5 hours camera and light battery life. But my first one at 10 months old got water inside the lens after riding in the rain. They changed it and I never used it in the rain again but the second after another 10 months just went completely out of focus and is in the process of warranty return again. The original came with 2 year warranty printed on the box, but the latest might only have 1 year. Tooo cycling never answer any email and its not good that you say they are now out of business.

    As a professional wrench, my take is that even a genuine Shimano Tourney derailleur is rubbish; certainly not of the same quality as Tourney derailleurs of the past. While the old stuff was super heavy, at least it was built more robustly. The new ones are wobbly brand new. They don’t make them like they used to, so to speak. The next step up, Altus, is miles better.
