The absolute best way to sell high quality equipment - show them in use in high quality tutorial videos! They sell themselves. Bravo Park Tool & Magnum P.I.

[@dazza8692]

Thank you Calvin...I went from a messed up bike to dialed in perfection within 30mins after watching your video... you made everything so clear and understandable... easy when you know how... thank you...

[@arduinobanzi8348]

I just love this guy. He is a total asset to Park Tool and I suspect a distant relation to Frank Zappa

[@blueplasma5589]

Watchout where the Huskies go!

[@lst9701]

hes like Chris Morocco's dad

[@VonSC2]

I would not be at all surprised at the reveal he is secretly a vampire working on bikes at night since 1872.

[@maskedredstonerproz]

ikr , he's like the Chrisfix of bikes

[@sergiocasimiro4626]

Some of the best videos to learn from on this topic, full of details, and all the steps described. Thanks!

[@JosephCrimando]

This is the BEST explanation of the how to adjust this I’ve seen. I’m a pro at it now. Thanks!!

[@TyrantTommy]

Seriously well done set of video series. I bought a "junky" box store Schwinn that was left outside for a couple of years for $40.00 yesterday and I have repainted it and am dialing in the brakes and shifting, I have a feeling after learning what I need here I am going to be really really happy with my custom graphite gray Schwinn. I might even head to parktool and pick up some of the great tools so when I replace parts in the future (which i plan to do) I can have a little less trouble. THANK YOU!

[@iseabeck9488]

I've never been happier with my sub box in my entire life.

[@disaymec297]

Thanks for the video it helped a lot..............
I have a problem with my rear wheel if i drop it on a pothole, bump or from a jump I hearing a banging noise but everything is ok if I check there’s no loose part. I suspect it’s the deraillure but I don’t know how to fix it properly. Can you help? can you do a video about it.

[@parktool]

There could be many things going on that would cause a bang when you hit a bump. Check that the wheel is tight in the frame and that all nuts and bolts are tight. Then try picking the bike up a small bit and dropping it on its tires of course to see if you can recreate the noise in a static environment. Then you can get a better idea of where the noise is coming from. Good luck!

[@wahab852]

Please make an outlet in pakistan where a professional like you works there is no good bike mechanic in Pakistan or are very hard to find.

[@bernieleinz5110]

Knocked it out of the park (some pun intended).

[@fabianleguel2960]

Out of topic ,I been trying to find a guide to tighten up bolts in My dh bikes ,but nothing solid in info,can any one help??

[@parktool]

Contact the bike manufacturer for this. Failing that, look at the torque for each component manufacturer.
