Will you make a video of assembling all parts of a bike's gear? Thanks

Hi Jorg I went to a annual yard sale here in NB and picked up a a 72 8 speed bicycle New never driven I got it for 500 it is like a racing style it was called a Raleigh Royale This thing is literally new out of the box! I plan to sell it!

Good thing you can do the work yourself. Otherwise, it would nickel and time you.

Wiw your all junk yeard is wired here in America if we go to the junkyard weccan get anything we wont but not the whole thing car truck ECT but other than that ya

Near 4hrs well chap keep it up 👍

This is a good review. And if it still works, keep it. After years of riding, we have become attached to our bikes and would not trade them in for anything!

Yes I lived in Edm. and my Santa Cruz Superlight bike stolen about 10 years ago. Yes I had a hard time reporting it as well.

I had some glueless patches from Specialised. They worked pretty good as long as you left them to set for half an hour or so before inflation.

Your crime rate is not down Jorge. It is an election year, crime is always down in an election year. Calls are not answered, web site construed to not take information, and outright lying is involved. It is called politics, run by people with no ethics, interested only in self-preservation, and most of which should be in jail.

Sounds good and no smoke!

Thanks Jorg, I have a Fuji I purchased in 1981. Suntour components. I like the friction shifters too. Center pull brakes, still working like new. If it ever gets stolen I just hope it ends up with someone that loves it as much as I do.

I can't tell you what's best Jorge l, but I can tell you that I took my 1970 Toyota Corona to a transmission shop because it wasn't shifting right. They showed me a little fine metal in the pan. The shop told me the old "Oh no, this is bad. You need a complete overhaul." My dad said to pass on that. We redrained the pan, tightened the bands put it all back together with fresh fluid and it drove fine for 5 years until I sold it. Unless there is something severe I would say you're probably OK to clean it up. Make everything is to spec and fill it up.

omg so bringing my carbon road bike is a bad idea?

Great video .Yes 100% agree the old school MTB are perfect for loaded touring .My 90s Apollo MTB cromoly frame is strong and very dependable no light weight but when fully loaded it doesn't matter about the weight. Cheers keep up the great work 👍

The bolts may have been not tightened at the factory and just vibrated out of their holes. It does not make sense that someone would take two bolts out then put the pan back on. I think before messing with it, I would put the bolts back, the drain plug kit in, the new fluid in and see what happens. With the drain plug installed you can easily drain and save the fluid if needed to get back inside the tranny.

Not sure if I would use 14-34. Not because of the gearing but because that is generally used on a freewheel. Wouldn't you want a freehub for better durability and support of the rear axle for heavier loads?

Agree Jorge, Vintage for the win. 1987 Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753r & Vitus Dural 979 Duralinox 1984 both weigh under 8.5KG. rim brakes and downtube Shifters 🤙🤙

Did it work?

It's called laying down on the job.

Wow, another short.

i like the 80s bikes

More proof that you don't need to spend huge money on high usage (touring) bikes. Steel frames and retro parts that don't break if maintained. Great video!

Some thing to try is take a propane torch the one that you Souder copper pipe with and heat the nut which will make it expand slightly making it easier to come off you could hit the pitman arm around the part you want to come off too you will have to heat it for about five minutes if you had oxygen to supplement the propane it would get hot faster but most don't have this! Remember heat makes things larger I am a welder for over thirty years! Heat it to the point of not being able to keep your hand on it! and if you can take a wire brush first as the rust will act as a insulant for the heat! hope this helps! Marc From New Brunswick

If you have the time! to wait use apple cyder vinegar let set in the liquid for a week then spray off with garden hose! Then put a little vegetable oil!

Lets just all post everything we do... congrats dude for your bumper?

I would just put air in it! it will seat itself always put air in it with it standing up and don't stand with the rim facing you expecially aluminum rims with steel less chance of anything happening! lots of lube but if you find with air going in and it doesn't seat take a ratchet strap and put it around the circumference of the tire and tighten it this usually works!

you can find plenty of 80's mountain bikes at a metal salvage scrapyard or your local city recycling/transfer station.

I would go to princess auto and pick up a tire changing manual machine there like a hundred bucks they have a special tool that will aid in removing and installing tires! It is worth you while I have one and it works good not as good as the industrial ones but better than a crow bar!

Nicely done .👍

Looking good Jorg.

I had a 90 cannondale T400 touring bike. That bike turned me into a bike nerd. Love touring configured bicycles!.

Literally today, I put a MegaRange 14-34t on my road bike. Two hills in my town are now rideable without pushing. I love it!

1993 Specialized Rockhopper Comp here .. runs like new …

100% with you but I am leaving without clearly understanding the dropout issue and the difference with forged and … what? Stamped? How to recognize one from another while hunting for a bike? I agree about friction shifters, it’s a must for long distance touring especially in underdeveloped countries and on a budget. They always work, period.

Good idea on the winter bike! I have an early 90s Wheeler with same drop outs and hanger on one side. I did the opposite, making it a single speed so wheel can go all the way back on both sides. Not used for touring but more cruising

Here in the USA you can find 80s and 90s MNT bikes everywhere in all price ranges.

I've done a similar thing with my 1990's MTB, I bought two bikes for 15€ some years back. I had a stash of parts including front and rear racks and 36 spoke wheels. I changed the wheels as it came with a freewheel and I had two axle break. I changed to a QR wheel with a freehub and no problems since. What I really like is the bike looks old and scratched so not very attractive in the eyes of thieves. A high end Surly can be a magnet for lowlife although it's a nice bike.

Very informative

Old steel and friction shifters is the way to go. Nothing wrong with your mega gear, easier to get into on a hard climb. Good video.

thanks for making this video! :) i'll go check out my local community bike shop like you suggest!

Love those old steel bikes. I’ve had loads and the derailleur hangers never got bent. Sure, they can get bent, but with a little care, no problems. Stamped dropouts are indicative of a cheap frame, so probably not a good choice for putting a lot of your valuable time into.

thanks Jorg, love your old bike, great stuff
