I love your no nonsense thought process and very satisfying explanations. Subbed!
Thanks, great to have you onboard. Thanks 👍
Hands down the best explanation out there. Gave me confidences and saved my bike. Subbed!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the sub!
Loved that last tip on the cable slack
Yeah, it’s a great one 👍
John, good guidance on internal gearing. One thing I wouldn’t do is use the round end of a 4mm Allen key to initially undo the RD cable nut, always use the short section Allen key first.
Love it, like your to the point no nonsense explanations
Hi G,
Glad you found the video helpful, that’s why I make them👍. Got a few more like this one coming up soon.
Thanks, Jon
Your vids are spot-on‼️👍‼️👍‼️
Thanks, Kevin, appreciate it 👍
very detailed video, thank you!
Glad you liked it 👍
15:38 thanks for sharing your idea, John. This is ingenious…this saves time
I know, that little hack is great. Apparently, it was an idea Mr Shimano himself came up with, insisting that should work on all Shimano groupsets.
You saved my gears! Thank you!
Glad it helped you 👍
A suggestion is the use of a tandem gear cable to draw two sheathing lengths in series for mechanical derailleurs , (where applicable) .
Perfect video! Worth to subscribe.
Glad you liked it!
Great demonstration! After months of fretting and delaying, I changed both cables. Both went through easily to my relief. However, after tightening the cable and pinch bolts, none of the gears worked. There must be a lack of tension somewhere. Off to my local shop now to get some help.
Good luck with it, let us know how you get on. 👍
Outstanding! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
great explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Just the video I needed 👍
Glad you found it useful LDC!! Obviously, you get the option of me doing it for you, if you fancy popping down for a visit. However , doing it yourself is really satisfying 👍😉
@@ribblevalleycyclist might take you up on that if I ever get stuck in the future 😊
A ‘RVC fixes LDC’s Bike’ video 😂
Good day!
How to check two cables in downtube on crossing each other? Especially on early stages when the cables are new and not connected to derailleurs 😅
If i were to just change my handlebars with cable routing, would i do this from my brake levers i.e. detach the cables from my brake lever, route the cables through th3 handle bar and then reattach the cables to my brake levers?
My Giant Defy has cable inners fitted so the first method won't work. I pulled through dental floss with the old cable and used that to pull back the new cable.
Guy has so much enthusiasim like hes on a dope nice, nevertheless very good tutorial.
Thanks...... I think 🤣
Kiitos!
Thank you, Nico, will grab a coffee when I'm out on the bike 👍☕️
what is the diameter of the inner cable lining used here? thanks!
Hi,
This is standard Shimano gear cable, so the thickness of the inner is 1.2 mm. It must not be confused with Shimano brake cable, which is 1.6 mm.
Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.
Jon
@@ribblevalleycyclist so this means that a 2mm (internal diameter) ptfe tube is more than enough for the job. thank you!
So it's not a full cable housing that goes inside the frame?
Unfortunately, it's not a simple one to answer, PatenTv. Each routing process is specific to each frame manufacturer. Some manufacturers route just the inner cable through the frame, as shown in this video, whilst others route both the inner and outer through the frame. To be honest though, the more common process is to only route the inner cable through the frame, and use a frame mounting kit (Example here - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353761789484 ) to but the cable outers to the frame.
My Giant Defy has inner cable liners within the frame but of course they wear at the bottom bracket guide and Giant dont seem to sell replacements.
@@bikeman123Standalone cable liners can be bought online, I've bought a few packs before made by a Chinese company named Risk. You'll also need a little heat from a lighter to flare the end you want to anchor at the cable housing stop.
intro hurt my ears
Yeah, had issues with the audio on the intro. Also, not sure they're a thing any more, so don't really use it any more.
