Tektro had to go! Clinton said he bled them many times, and they couldn’t be revived.
This was a hard day’s work, but his reaction was well worth it. Good times. 🤜🤛
That's fair though I probably would have rebuilt them over going to anything guide. I have had no luck with them nor has anyone I ride with.
I never had a problem with tektro brakes and they feel the same as any Shimano brake. If you hate Tektro also dont ride TRP just as a hint.
But Guide R are trash. No Stoppingpower. Mushy feel. I like Shimano oder Shigura men. Sry
Nice job! The 16 year old was genuinely happy, respectful, and appreciative for helping him out.
Agreed! Super rad kid
It's mind boggling how many people drop all that coin for a nice bike, then never maintain their suspension. Some once they notice decreased performance they think they need an upgrade. Others if they finally try to service it there's already damage to the stanchions or sliders. Some pass the buck and sell the bike then buy a new bike.
I wish I would've mentioned that. With fork seals that bad I was surprised there wasn't any stanchion damage
i feel the same way! i cant believe people don't service their suspension, its like a cars oil change... i probably service my suspension way to often hopefully it will last a lifetime
its a 16 year old kid, i didnt know anything about my bike at that age and i had no clue about suspension maintenance.
this costs a decent amount of money and if his parents dont ride they wouldnt know its needed and would be skeptical about spending more money on the bike.
As for a new bike,I can't afford one!
that "damn dude" reaction, and only change visible that fast are the grips 😆
i think he was mostly excited at first because they cleaned it too.
**bike looks almost the same before and after** Owner from 5 meters: DAYUMN
Why is not nobody reacting to this comment
It was fire!
7 months ago
Exactly. He is 16. Can't blame him 😂
bc even it is clean
Bc he is greatful that he fixed up his bike and he’s trying to be nice
Dudeeee, its so awesome to see my old brakes being put to good use. This sad to rad series just keeps on giving! 🤙
Heck yeah man I'm glad you saw that
i'm surprised more people dont learn to service their suspension at home.. or at least get it serviced by a shop regularly. It completely transforms the ride quality.
Great to see you working with Jared! That's awesome. Soooo when can I bring my bike by for some work?! 😂
Any time you're in Bentonville! We can fire up the livestream and see what kind of damage your shenanigans have done to your bike 😂
Yeah dude come through! 🫡
@@EvansMTBSaga Don't tempt ME with a good time! Let's do it. Next year I'm definitely coming out there at some point. So I'll keep you updated!
Those Tektro brakes are quite good actually, I would even say underrated… so it would be nice if you service them and put them on another bike. 👌
I gave them back to Clinton just in case he wants them
I was about to say that. I've ridden both and I far prefer the tektros over the guides.
For the Derailure hanger alignment, try to have one point (Can be the Valve or another point on the wheel) and do the 360 check of every angle with that same point, if you have a slight bend rim you won't get the hanger 99% straight if you do it like you do how you've done it in the Video
Oh good tip. Thanks man!
I came to the comments to say the same thing, lol. 😆
thats a damn good tip! :O
Came here to say that. Use the valve as a reference and follow the tool around. Top, bottom and back tend to get it.
sad to rad is such a dope series! Clinton was psychedd
Best video yet. That kid seems super cool
yeah. maybe a bit of a slacker though. could be smarter with his bike choices too.
I have the Trance x 2 which is very similar; the problems you list are close to normal even for near new Trances.
The dealer had never set derailleur limits or indexing, the chain clutch was off, the brakes sealed like crazy, the front fork bushings on one side were rattling, and the bottle cage rivnuts were loose.
Most of the issues were just maintenance problems as on your example.
I think it is a decent bike and I really enjoy riding mine.
That's awesome helping a young kid out to see the smile on his face priceless 👍
Always glad to see people giving back. Kudos to you and Jared. Always fun to see a new video by either of you. Been a big fan of Jared since his Siskiu T7 days. Big fan of yours since Sad to Rad. Keep the great content coming!
Thanks Bella!!
Thank you! 🙏
Yoooo, Seth's grips??? Best bike upgrade EVER, lucky.
When checking the derailleur hanger I was taught to always follow the same spot on the rim to negate a warped wheel.
I just learned that today from a commenter 🤣
That bike looks fine
exactly what i did with my nukeproof scalp. bought it used and it was in a sorry state. the fron axle had no threads (wedge axle no longer made socustom made my own), rear coil was leaking and blown out, bearings were shot all over the bike. replaced everything and the bike feels amazing and better than new
Amazing what some new seals and a bit of time can do! Fantastic job making that dude's bike awesome again.
Couldn't agree more!
Wonderful thing to see a beat bike get some love! Hopefully he will take better care of her now
I think it's wonderful helping young men out and we men need to look out for one and other more. You know what? There's nothing toxic about that!
PRISTINE!! seems like a great kid, thanks for helping him out. loved the vid
Thanks Cole!
Adding the toolkit was a great touch 👌🏾
“No one should be riding without injury cover”
Laughs in British*
I'm glad you're covered!
Used to work in the NHS as a nurse. You brits should protect your NHS man. Health care here in the US is just so expensive. You guys are so lucky.
1:31 this is actually what Fox and Rockshox use, but they are black instead. But Rockshhox use grey horrible seals on some forks, those had a bad failing rate, I had a fork that came covered in oil, and seals were off. They were out of spec. But the Fox seals were always good, but no wonder, they were SKF, Swedish goodness. But with the green seals, you know it's SKF from far away.
Great job. The smile on that kids face was priceless. Keep up the good work......
Seth should deffo meet up with this young boy and go on a ride
Agreed! He seems pretty dope
When the two of you were servicing the shock, reminds me of when Evan got a neglected monarch and a bomber z2 to fix up and install on his mythic. good times 2 years ago being smart with cash
9:10
Deep Space samurai - forever sunset
Fou de you, you steaks one 😂 also it’s 1:30 am in France rn
I was guilty of little to no service on my first bikes. lol At least I always cleaned and lubed the chain!
I bought that same tool kit when I started working on my bike. It literally has 90% of the tools you need to maintain anything on the bike. They're not great tools, but they don't suck either. Here I am, 3 years and another bike later and I still use that kit.
Oh nice! That's good to hear I lucked out and picked a random toolset that's so good. I didn't even look to see what it had haha
I have a L 2021 Specialized Rockhopper that I know is a entry bike but I will gradually make upgrades to it. Just got into MTB for health reasons and I have became so addicted. Hopefully one day I can travel from Rhode Island to gets some tips and hints from you. This channel has done wonders for me, Thank you.
Heck yeah Ivan! Welcome to mountain biking!
You are really killing it with your videos, keep it up!!
10:42 when I walk into my older brother's room.
15:03 Evans face always gets me😂
I would love to see more of these videos. I learned so much from just you completely rebuilding this bike.
Awesome dude! Subscribe and I'll def make more
Idk why but when he said zamm dude, the voice in my head replied holy macaroni biscuits in a sweet pie😂
We need Evan to get to 100 k
you made his day man, hes a cool kid too good choice for a sad to rad.
Yeah he's a rad dude
Really cool way to give back to a kid that appreciates it, glad I watched until the end - great job Evan & Jared!
Love seeing two of my favorites on the same video. Can’t believe I missed this till today 👏
I don't think it was a bad choice to take off the Tektro's, but I would say it might have come from a misinformed place. A lot of Tektro's, outside of the lowest end brakes they have, are really good brakes for their cost. Also, most of their servicing, including fluid, is interchangable with Shimanos. They are certainly worthwhile brakes. But a very good video, love the reaction, I hope it inspires him to take better care of his bike going forward. I remember being that age and thinking I couldn't take care of my bike, now I realize I can't afford not to.
I have to agree they're good for the price - the Orion 4P stops very well. In saying that, I replaced mine with SLX and it made a world of improvement.
Haha, that was great watching the kid's reaction. What a cool thing to do for someone. 😎
Seeing the sponsoring I am happy to live in Germany :-) 12.000 wow
Awesome job 👍🤘 I enjoy helping people too and it's nice to see that you've done this for your friends 😁🤘
The bike hand tool kit you bought for him is the first toolkit I bought and I still use it, they are very decent tools.
You definitely gave him that falling in love with his bike again moment😁
Oh no way! That's rad, good to hear it's not a hunk of junk. He told me he's already worked on a few things that I didn't get to.
I like what you do for other people. It's super cool. Smiles for miles! If you're ever in boise idaho, I would love to ride with you. Good job.
Thanks Jason! I hope to fly out to meet the WPS/Fly folks in Boise some time!
Very cool! I think its the best reaction yet!
I got "pimp my ride" vibes at the end 😂
Never knew Jared from cure worked with you👊 that’s rad. Love both of your content.
One remark: Hanger alignment should be done aganst one reference point (valve hole) rotated in 90 and 180 deg, because if your wheel is not true, it will alter your measurement.
Packing those dust wipers with slick honey before install makes a huge difference
You looked like a total pro with that hanger alignment tool 😆 Great vid!
I got those bike hand tools as well. Work awsome for the low price I did all the work on my Axum with that.
Good stuff! Servicing my own suspension has saved a lot of money.
bro did not just say ZAMN!!!
i think you're supposed to turn the wheel along with the derailleur hanger tool
Nice vid man
Thanks Jamie!
Good video Evan! That dude was feeling the stoke
Super nice thing you did for that young rider! Way to go!! 👍
You make it look very easy to service those forks. i will deffo be doing my yari's myself when the time comes.
Give it a shot! And use a big wrench to pry out the seals. It seems weird at first, but def the easiest way
So awesome to be giving back to the MTB community like that! I need to get my bike over to you for a face lift lmao 🤣
My favorite thing is when I tell people my derailleur hanger is slightly bend and they say "oh just use that tool and straighten it" and I say back "well my rear wheel is bent worse and so I'd end up screwing the hanger up worse😂
nice turn out, really like these sad-2-rad vids, bike maintenance is one of my favorite hobbies. dig your channel to cause you keep it real ...keep it up 🤘
Good on you, Evan. Pay it forward. Well done.
Clamp the shock in the vice when threading the air can back on. Much easier lol
I hope I have a person like you bro, my bike is not feeling well my shock is stiff it only plays 1-2 inches of play.
Service it! Very easy to do if you follow the service guide and videos
I love this kind of videos working on bikes ! Good job !
9:49 In my experience these semimetallic pads are great, bite as well as Shimanos metallic, but don't crack, but not tried the 4 piston pads, but had the same compound on TRP Spyke.
Great video and you can tell he was soooo stoked. And super-cool those grips were off one of Seth's bikes, however, I've been riding ODI Rogue grips since 2003. If you took those off my bike I'd smack you. 😆
I was more of a Ruffian fan. But now I love Ergon grips
Oh and his ruffians were so gross and sticky lol
the last 2 seconds of you videos always make me Laugh
Haha thanks Blake! I'm running out of ideas to put there though lol
@@EvansMTBSaga try if you don’t subscribe you tire will pop in you sleep
Those Orion Tektros are not bad man. And you can service them with a shimano kit and oil. They are not TRP level good, but they are better than some basic brakes that you get on expensive bikes nowadays
pop the springs off the wiper seals and slide them up the stantion before you try and put the fork back together.
easier and less chance of damaging the lip.
Good tip! Thanks!
"no one should be riding without injury cover" this is why I'm happy to live in the UK!
if you ride downhill or race it's a good idea to have insurance even in the uk - if you have a physical job sick pay won't cover much if you end up with broken limbs 🤣
@jamble7k fair. i'm a waitress but i get bursary from college and i don't ride hard enough to hurt myself lol
I don't understand people who buy expensive bikes then don't maintain them. I ride a basic hard tail that I have upgraded and I try to baby that thing. Yearly maintenance and tune ups.
Those tektros are fine brakes and they're very easy to bleed IME
11:40 you should upgrade the DAG2 with cmhPrintedDesigns FlipDAG-2, I did, it ads an swing arm so you can flip the rod out, no realigning needed. It's a Pro mechanic for Trek who makes them, he 3d prints them with robust plastic.
Great job guys. Keep up the great vids Evan. Hope that young man will pay it forward someday too!
A lot of my bikes have had Tektro brakes and they've been great. He must have been doing some serious downhills to destroy them in 2 years.
Right! He's hard on his bike for sure. BTW, one of my sons is named Jase!
I also wanted to repair and upgrade my bike, unfortunately, I dont have money. Btw love the vid!
Nice! Now he can continue to neglect the maintenance again! 🎉
The squishy brakes would probably have been fixed with a partial bleed (bubble bleed) and fluid top up. Quicker than replacing by far.
If that bike is messed up, you don't wanna look at my bike
Was really hoping to see a service on the Teltro Orions, that's what I've got (along with all the other Polygon Siskiu owners), seems like everyone just scraps them.
Yup, sad could of serviced those. Also add new ceramic pads and new rotors(Shimano RT86) or higher.
my dude really said zamn!
I also have a giant trance. Mine is the 2006 version
Video title is accurate. Neglected is correct.
kid was awesome
Loved it Evan!
Probably only needed the shimano funnel to service the tektro brakes... Personally I'd take them over guide anything myself. I do have kits to service both though.
my shock already needa a good service (gray oil on stansion) 😒
Man that Commodore 64 style music starting at 09:06 takes me straight back to my childhood. Crazy nostalgic. What is the name of that song??
Deep Space Samurai - Forever Sunset
Glad you liked it!
Love you videos bro really inspires me
I personally think that a rear shock service is easier than a fork service. Also the brakes were a huge upgrade, I had those tektro brakes on a rental bike and they were awful.
Haha I know right. Can be done in a parking lot very easily
@@EvansMTBSaga yeah no tools required and it’s easy as pulling seals off and putting new ones in, I work at a local bike shop and that’s probably my favorite thing to do
It's sad to see a bike go without maintenance. The shock isn't a big deal to service. Pretty easy, like they said a pick set is mostly it, but I like using plastic pick sets the best so you don't scratch up any surfaces.
Well you havent seen my bike when you call that clapped😅
You forgot one important point - check the bearings in the suspension.
The back ground music reminds me of kick boxer the movie or maybe karate kid.
Such a cool video man!
2 mistakes I found
1-Dont put a new chain on a old cassette if its 9ish speed or above. 9 speed may or may not work. anything below I have found it works and obviously the exception is when the cassette is near new. I had a 12 speed eagle cassette a while back that I ended up snaping the chain and bending pins after 200 miles(whole groupset was brand new) and the chain failed to mesh with the cogs I used the most
2- This bike is far from old. it has a tapered headtube, maestro linkage and a truaxle so this bike is definitely not old or shitty.
If you say the bike is far from old, then how did I put a new chain on an "old cassette"? You're talking like a bike shop salesman and I've never heard anyone recommend that.
@@EvansMTBSaga the less the speeds on a cassette the more you can get away with. The cassette didnt even look like it had worn off the coating so I think thats why it went well. Ive been mechanic since I was a wee little boy. Personally I changed the chain only and had no problems until moved into higher speeds. Great videos man overall I dont mean any disrespect its just what Ive seen since working on bikes. I did dislike the part where you called me a bike salesman, I have had bad encounters with them as a young lad who didnt have much money for a "top tier" bike. Nonetheless I like your videos
