    You may not think of the channel as being a how to place but I have learned many things from watching these videos, and I am more confident whenever i go to work on my bike.

    What I want to know, is how do bike manufacturers manage to put internally routed cables through the frame when it's just been built and has no cables running inside the frame to begin with?

    • @yonglingng5640
      @yonglingng5640 6 месяцев назад +1

      With an internal routing tool I reckon, just like some bike shops. Some frames' internal routing can be done without such a kit (I've done a handful without mine to my surprise), but it does make things much easier.

      We have mugs on our website, www.bikespeeds.com/shop but simply can’t afford to buy in T-shirts they cost a load for all the sizes and for the small amounts we’d be buying pay next to nothing! If you wanted a mug we’d always appreciate the support🧡

      @@BikespeedsWhy not use one of those websites that fulfil your t-shirt order for you for a small fee. You might not make as much but the more people that wear them the more it'll advertise for you 😀

    8:18 - Parktool are a hideous rip off for what they are. They're 'ok' quality, but being a car mechanic, I can get 10x the quality for sometimes half the price by just buying a different brand more associated with cars than bikes. Obviously more specialised bike specific tools, you're stuck; but things like my Halfords cassette tool has pulled dozens of lock rings, and has even survived being used with an impact gun (yeah, it was THAT tight...) so you don't ALWAYS have to go for the big name stuff...

    Integrated cables through the headsetcould be worthwhile on an aero bike. I purposely bought an earlier model aero frame to avoid this though.There's no getting away that functional design compromises have to be made around the headtube area which which may degrade safety, and add a bit of weight. The optics are a personal thing, but depend somewhat on whether the stem can be lowered enough to avoid the startled hen look. I travel a bit and need to remove the bar to fit either my Evoc or Scicon bags. So just not worth the 'benefit' to me.

    • @yonglingng5640
      @yonglingng5640 11 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, they don't make sense on any bike that's not a road bike. Gravel, CX, urban, MTB, etc.

    • @Bikespeeds
      @Bikespeeds  11 месяцев назад +2

      It’s absolutely dependent on use. I agree most people should take your approach and think about the liveability of their bike day to day!🧡

    Sorry to hear you're having a lot of trouble with the shoulder and that it keeps you from competing. I hope you're still able to enjoy cycling as a hobby though? I got myself a plate and nine screws about 4 months ago and am just getting back into cycling. Was planning on entering some XCM style races, but now I'm not sure I'll be able to do those long rides as before.

    When I bought a new Top, Look frame from a Sale (To end up with a 6,8 kilo racing bike), I had much difficulty in hitting the frame holes by the crank (The top tube had an extra guide inside)! I know about sets for this purpose but as a single bike builder I used the "search and you will find" system, and in the end managed to get my cables through! Finn. Denmark
