Man... Soo many parts, washers... I don't understand why Campagnolo can't make stuff more simple... Like FSA, SHIMANO,SRAM I totally understand the guy switching to Shimano 😅
Pretty laughable the number of people moaning about switching from Campy to Shimano. So what if the bike is 100g heavier. Not going to notice that on the road with the exception of the bigger cassette range for climbing. Pretty sure cost was a contributing factor over spending massively on Campy Record over Shimano 105.
What kind of mechanic doesn't know how to align the wrench handle with the crank arm when removing pedals or cranks, and doesn't know to take the bike off of the stand and place the frame against a solid surface before hammering pressed-in parts out? So painful to watch amateur technique. Hope others aren't copying him.
Stiffness attracts more force; a basic engineering principle. You're actually apply more stress to the frame when the bike is on a hard surface when hammering out pressed-in parts. While the bike is almost free to swing in the stand; almost no force is transmitted into the frame.
@@hansschotterradler3772force doesn’t vanish. The frame is flexing aka there is less force applied to the part you want to take out while a lot of force is applied to the point where the bike is fixed to the stand and along the whole frame to this point. Aka you need to apply a lot more force because you need the force to break the part lose plus the amount lost due to the flexing.I certainly wouldn’t trust the frame any longer after this treatment.
I thought you were heavy handed with the bike as well - if this is a client's bike then was it you who fitted the pedals in the first place as they were way overtight.
A predictable number of cycle snobs commenting, complete with I would say false accusations of convert advertising. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in making this video 👍
I liked the video. I rode Campy and Shimano and it is NOT that far apart unless you are a bicycle parts snob. To the mechanic. Thanks for sharing and i will not in 100years lay out all that money for the tools to remove a simple thing like a Campy BB. 🤦♂️. Stick to Shimano and have more time for cycling... Nice video.
The customer should have requested a tune up, with new shifting/brake cables. Use the rest to upgrade a better set of wheels. Wrong move from Campy to Shimano 105.
I leave the front D cable uncut until the last moment because i have a hell of a time getting the initial cable tension right on the newer style shimano gtx/105 etc pinch bolts
I do not understand the point of the video...if the Athena groupset was still functional , why replace it with a brand new 105 groupset for the cost of it ?
Sorry to comment, but i would probably spend 80 percent of the total work time by cleaning and detailing that frame before putting the new parts. Nice bike.
Who the hell removes Campy for 105 because they don't like their ride? Unless if the Campy stuff is broken or too worn in, this dude just wants to waste money.
@@EndoftheBlock7224he is not a kid, he is a sir for you and he is proffesional bike mechanic with a lot of expirience. What else can he make videos about?
I like to set the limit screws without a chain, just by moving the deralieur by hand. then I messure the chainlenght on short/short with minimal chain tension. if the components fit each other there is no problem in big/big eather. and the bar tape had to end earlier, so the full FSA logo would be exposed. You´ve added over 100g by switching to shimano that was not so satisfining... I would have installed a second hand mecanical record instead.
Shimano cables are not pre-lubricated. Rather, Shimano injects a special grease into the plastic housing liner. Wiping the cable removes any surface dirt that would contaminate the lubricated housing liner.
I always wondered how the cables can be replaced inside the tubes. Now I have an idea with that Nd magnet, thanks! I make the maintenance for my own bikes and I had assembled them all for the fun. Nice vid!
You’re wasting realty on the video if you use portrait mode. Please, Never go portrait mode in a full length video. It looks hideous on big screen TV. If it was vlogging and a bit of add-ons, Understandable but 11mins of portrait mode just doesn’t sit well.
I'm confused. Did he just swap a Campa cassette for a Shimano cassette??? Like it's the most normal thing to do? Like freehubs fit all? I am a self thaught bike mecanic (thanks internet, youtube) and in the 5 years I'm making a living out of it I did a lot of retro race bike restorations. One of the first things I learned is that compatibility is not a given. Clients demand to just swap a part of a certain brand and generation for something completely different. Then I start summing up all the problems and complications I will come across trying to make their ideas work. What am I missing here?
I am so confused right now there was nothing wrong with that campag group set. Plus, it suits the Bike better being Italian and how is the bottom bracket shell one side threaded and the other side non-threaded and how is he fitted a Shimano cassette on Campag free hub body I’m so confused right now all I can say is this guy has got himself a free campag groupset
Perfectly understandable to put a 105 in place of Campy. It's like having an Alfa Romeo and replacing with a Toyota. The Alfa will have the prestige and history but the Toyota will be easier to live with, operate and service.
Smells like advertising. There are lots of it on RUclips, camouflaged on "fans like to watch" kind of videos. However, if the video is legit I'm not sure if the guy will be impressed with the switch.
For bike that is using external cable routing, it is best to use di2. This will leave you with 2 cables instead of 4 and make the overall appearance much nicer. If this were my bike, i would have it completely stripped, then send for a new paint job. After that, install a ultegra di2. Or sell away this bike and buy a new bike. Either way, your customer would be much happier.😂
As a pro wrench, the steps of removing components are really chaotic … no particular orders. Moreover, cleaning in the middle of removal process, with non-environmental-friendly aerosol spray?
@@mr.z2618 there was nothing wrong with the old groupset, why spending money on practically the same design when with a little more money he could’ve gotten DI2, thats an improvement!
Instead of every so called bike genius complaining about fitting japanese 11-speed groupset over Italian 10-speed groupset on an Italian branded bike, do some research on why the customer wasn't willing to pay for an overpriced 11-speed campagnolo groupset. As for the method of building, nothing wrong with his methods or practices.
Man...
Soo many parts, washers...
I don't understand why Campagnolo can't make stuff more simple...
Like FSA, SHIMANO,SRAM
I totally understand the guy switching to Shimano 😅
Love watching this fella make this look easy. Last time I changed a tyre it too hours. Great craftsmanship.
This is why only I touch my bikes
"What's this? A center for ants??"
Like your technique for aligning the levers👍
Good isn't it! Paolino Colnago(Rip) first did that back in.......oooohhhhh🤔 1960 I believe....
Love the use of the magnet. Also the cat
This is something thr guy at Bike speed wouldn't do... He'll first of all clean and detail the frame before putting on those new parts...

I found that video fascinating , you make my efforts look laboured lol
Well changing from on groupset to another is fine, but come on, clean and polish the frame before putting the new stuff on, not good practice.
I feel you

That's a great cat !

Funny thing... I took a Miyata 712 with 105 and rebuilt it with 3x11 Athena. Great bike. Probably the best shifting on any of my bikes.
Best vidéo of 2023 ! Love it
I don't understand why people complain. I would do the same, replace some Old used crapy campa and put New 105 or ultegra.
I do not understand the point of the video...if the Athena groupset was still functional , why replace it with a brand new 105 groupset for the cost of it ?
Beautiful Job. 💯👍
Enlightening to see you disassemble it

Quanta perfeição na montagem. Grande profissional. Parabéns amigo.
Obviously the Campagnolo groupset on an Italian frame goes', but it's mechanic heavy, Shimano is a little simpler..imo
Enjoyed watching this a lot. Shimano from campy though... Controversial
😂 Just Luke my cat. He watches me lick up every tool then watches what I do with it, or tries to bite the cables to get my attention

Shimano cables are not pre-lubricated. Rather, Shimano injects a special grease into the plastic housing liner. Wiping the cable removes any surface dirt that would contaminate the lubricated housing liner.
@trekkeruss Oh I see! Thank you for clarifying that. I appreciate it.
the title should be : My customer didn't love his Bianchi bike anymore, so I spent $2000 on it.
I always wondered how the cables can be replaced inside the tubes. Now I have an idea with that Nd magnet, thanks!

Better pre rebuild.
ah ah you swap a campy athena o record for a shimano 105. The most stupid thing to do.
Crazy my 40 plus years of experience says so !
He could have bough an entire new-used bike for the price of parts and work
I would upgrade to campy record not 105
I wonder what's wrong with Athena? Apart from cranks...

do you degrease and oil a new chain before putting it on? :)
Who does not love a Bianci bike?
I have a race bike from the early 1980’s, new bikes just confuse me.
My bike feels so crap on the front mech

I did the same thing but with SRAM. Much cleaner look. It is also surprising how much better two cables look than four on the front of the bike.
Des patins ?😂
Una lavatina e una ingrassata a lla serie sterzo non gli avrebbe fatto male🤨
Remind me not to get Campy on any bikes I buy... 😱
You committed a crime. Address ng Shimano in that bike. Basically made it ready for scrap heap with that massive downgrade.
As a pro wrench, the steps of removing components are really chaotic … no particular orders. Moreover, cleaning in the middle of removal process, with non-environmental-friendly aerosol spray?
Bush mechanic. Replacing Potenza with 105 ..... really!!! Clueless. Not detailing the frame before rebuild is rookie stuff.
It was Athena, but your point stands.
Shimano????!!!!!!

Stupid thing to do.

But why?
why what, replace old used crapy campa and put brand new shimano 105?
