    There's something about your older videos that just draw people to watch, and in my case rewatch several times over. No background music, slower relaxing pace of narration and of course the wordsmithery. Anyway, I like the variation!

      Yeah there was something so relaxing about watching the guru do his thing in the old videos, nowadays it’s all product pushing and too much talking. I enjoyed watching high end cars getting detailed, not sure why that stopped

    If you are riding on UK roads a wet lube like Muc Off for chains is best, if you are off roading in dusty places a dry lube. Wd40 will attract more grime to it than a lube.

  • @davidblock1464
    @davidblock1464 Год назад +3

    You may want to consider adding handlebar ends, keeps you hands from slipping off each end. Just make sure they are on nice and tight. I wrap mine with grippy anti-slip tape. Cheers!

  • @scottmh96
    @scottmh96 Год назад +1

    I would say it's worth keeping. Other than aesthetically, dirt jumpers haven't really changed. A fork rebuild or a second hand modern set wouldn't go a miss though I reckon. Would really lighten up the bike a bit over the old boxers too

  • @darius2640

    Is the rear hub non-drive side set up for a brake disc? If so, I'd say that you should source a new (or gently used) brake setup for the rear, install the brake components and sell it on since it isn't the right size for you.
