Welcome to my channel. I'm Jorg, a curious oddball from Edmonton, Alberta, north of 60 years old. I have a passion for budget friendly adventures and exploration. This is my vlog channel where you will find a unique blend of wide ranging interests, including bicycle touring, camping, cycling, budget travel, fixing things and sharing ideas, presented with a does of sarcastic humour.
If you are unique and curious yourself, and have gained a perspective on life that comes with maturity, there is a good chance you will either learn something or be entertained, quite possibly even both.
You will find real life adventures riding on vintage bicycles, river rafting and camping trips with a cheap inflatable boat that can even carry a bicycle, tips on how to build imperfect fun things and questionable repairs.
Of course I also comment on the world's problems from my perspective.
If any of this sounds like a good use of your time, you're my kind. Why not subscribe and stick around a while?

This old Truck is keeping me busy Honest Talk
Almost two years ago my life changed when my pickup truck, loaded with tools and materials, disappeared from our driveway.
For well over a year I didn’t even want to think about replacing it, but earlier this year I finally jumped into a rebuilding project that will hopefully fill the void.
However, the 1989 OBS Chevy pickup is not a quick fix and it has seriously affected my entire year. The big question is: Will it be worth it?

Crime Rates are down Reason to celebrate or just a dirty little Trick?!
Просмотров 639 часов назад
Statistics say that crime is down in our city. For some reason I have a hard time believing it though. Is it just the biased perception of a recent crime victim, surrounded by other crime victims and their stories, or is there something more to it?

A little while ago I celebrated that my pickup truck, a 1989 Chevy, was able to drive both in forward and reverse. But even to this day I’m not sure whether the Transmission, a Turbo Hydramatic 400, is healthy. First off, it was extremely filthy on the outside, but there was also cause for concern on the inside. This video is part of a growing collection, all about this project: ruclips.net/vid...

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!
That's amazing! Pretty rare score at t a yard sale 🙂. thanks for sharing!
Good thing you can do the work yourself. Otherwise, it would nickel and time you.
So true. But I wouldn't go near such a truck in that case.
Dam
❤thank you Jorg you are funny! But how do you get in and out of the boat do you have a problem?! Because l do please tell me how to do it especially getting out! ❤
Man i bet that thing would go forever on propane thst got the valves and all to it
Ive got a dhort bed Chevy 1989 350 and i paid $2800 and lol ive probably put a $1000 in it over the 3years ive had it just taking old parts and putting new on now don't get me wrong it lol did brake down on me the distributor wint out and had to get a new one but that the biggest thing only i live the old chevys good trucks even the short beds it may be on my channel not suer i would have to see and with that said my bad has all was wanted the truck so i believe im going to go and me and him are going to make a trade on an Isuzu truck a 2000 model so will see any yuns have a blessed day or night to all
There tuff to get off some times put some heat from torch a very small one but hey ive been there before
Thanks, Craig. It's a pretty good junkyard. They don't allow torches though, for good reasons, I guess. But yeah, this is my go to place for a lot of parts.
But i hope you get what you need prayers sent
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 👍
Thanks 😉
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!
I agree. Why change it if it works so well? Thanks!
@@the1andonly well said! Totally agree.
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.
Sorry to read. So this isn't new at all. Wonder why nothing gets done about it.
@@the1andonly I could not afford to replace my stolen bike. Insurance was goin to go up higher than what the bike was worth!! You can go to the auction and even find your bike? I still recommend reporting it so the police have paperwork to track, lol, and you might get lucky.
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.
Thanks for the tip. I have a few left and might try using them again to test this.

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.
Good people don't steal bikes, they might buy stolen bikes unknowingly though. Hopefully you'll get to keep it. Thanks for sharing!
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.
Thanks for sharing that, Tony. I'm pretty sure it will be fine. I do have some minor issues and leaks though. I'll share that in another video.
@@the1andonly Looking forward to it Jorge!
omg so bringing my carbon road bike is a bad idea?
Probably, but there are people riding the highway in the morning with carbon bikes. In town you can pretty much forget it 😆
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 👍
Thank you and happy trails with your awesome bike 👍
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.
Agree 100%. There is going to be another video on this transmission soon.
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?
All good points and I'll likely switch to that soon, hopefully without changing the gearing significantly. As for the axle support, it isn't that much of a concern on a six speed. I've had zero issues, except that the freewheel needs attention every season, when replacing the chain.
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 🤙🤙
Nice! Happy trails 😉
Did it work?
Yep, it did. 🙂
It's called laying down on the job.
Lots of that too 😆
Wow, another short.
Yes, got to share those exciting moments sometimes 🙂
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!
Thank you 🙂
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
Thanks for the tips. I don't have any torch at all at this point. But as you can see in the video, there are ways around using heat. I'll definitely have to get a torch though, for all kinds of things 😆👍
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!
Another great tip for getting rid of rust. Thanks!
Lets just all post everything we do... congrats dude for your bumper?
It's RUclips, so yeah. There is a related video and that might actually help someone.
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.
Thanks 😉
I had a 90 cannondale T400 touring bike. That bike turned me into a bike nerd. Love touring configured bicycles!.
Same here. I got hooked on touring and and this bike found me 🙂
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!
Awesome! I'm actually having trouble finding those now. Looking for a 6 speed one.
1993 Specialized Rockhopper Comp here .. runs like new …
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing 👍
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.
The stamped ones will be flat and generally a lot thinner. Most store brand bikes and lower end bikes have them. The forged ones are thick and generally nicely shaped. They are hard and nearly impossible to bend. Thanks for asking.
Mine is about 3/16" thick. Is it safe to assume it's not stamped if it's not as rounded as yours? It does have the appearance that it could have been stamped from a piece of metal and welded to the frame. I've had the bike since 1991.
@@daniellarson3068 The way you describe it it's most likely stamped. But if you've had the bike for that long and it works for you, I wouldn't worry about it. I went all over Mexico with a bike like that with no problem (after installing a thick washer on the non drive side. This became necessary after removing the kickstand.
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
Makes sense for a winter bike. We have lots of hills here in the valley, so I still like to keep the gearing. Thanks for sharing.
Here in the USA you can find 80s and 90s MNT bikes everywhere in all price ranges.
Good to know. Thanks
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.
Two bikes for 15 bucks is a great deal! Funny you mention the high end Surly. A friend had his stolen here in Edmonton when he was staying with me as part of his America tour (Alaska to Argentina).
Very informative
Thank you 🙂
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.
Thank you 😉. Yes, they once made bikes to last. Something has changed.
thanks for making this video! :) i'll go check out my local community bike shop like you suggest!
Best of luck! All my bikes were once at Bike Edmonton. They have good deals all the time.
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.
The good ones seem to get harder to find, but definitely worth it. The cheaper frames still make good utility bikes.
thanks Jorg, love your old bike, great stuff
Thanks Reece. Yes, this bike is still my all time favourite.
