    Thank you for the video. You taught me how to seat a bike tire and make it true. You made it look easy.

    Thanks for a great video. I'm using Flat-Out, so I hope I never have a flat on the road. I received my orange Wired Freedom 2 weeks ago, and noticed some interesting details:
    1) The bike had absolutely no damage or scratches, the box was in excellent shape. I really love the burnt orange color, just totally gorgeous.
    2) The bike came totally unlocked, LIM set to 72 and C5 set to 10. Kind of surprised as this makes it technically illegal out of the box.
    3) The bike came with a derailleur guard. I thought the Wired Freedom did not have this.
    4) Installing a bar-end mirror was a pain. There is a plastic plug inserted in the end of the handlebar which has to be removed before you can insert the bar-end mirror. Not easy to remove.
    5) No UL certification on the battery yet.
    6) The rear air shock had no air pressure. I pumped it up with a shock pump (used your video guide) and noticed later the pressure was back to zero. I'm going to have to monitor this to see if I have a possible defective rear air shock.
    Having a blast riding the Wired Freedom.

      Awesome, thanks for the details! I'm surprised to hear about the derailleur guard, too! It probably helps for shipping as well.

    I got a nail in my tire last week when I watched your video...😂 Luckily, I did have flatout in it... I totally swear by the stuff... I did take my bike to the shop to replace the tube yesterday. But, I believe if/when it happens again I will attempt it myself... Again, Thanks for these awesome video for this awesome bike!!!

    • @johnbullet2223
      @johnbullet2223 3 месяца назад +1

      @leetjohnson yes, totally... I swear by the stuff... it was a big nail... I have another beach cruiser style ebike in which I use flatout... I stand by it... however this nail was so big I knew I should get it fixed soon... However, I rode a good 25 miles on it with the flatout sealing the hole... good stuff...🤙

    Not able to speak about E-bikes, but I've found running higher tire pressure helps resist punctures and reduces rolling drag significantly. My skins are rated for 60psi, my tubes are 3x thickness. I run 80-90 psi and I never get flats after three years of city pedaling.

    Could you do a tutorial on getting the slack out of the break lines. My break levers on my Wired 24' don't engage until they are half way pressed thanks Dave.

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  3 месяца назад

      They are hydraulic, so you may have an air bubble and need to bleed the brake lines...

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  3 месяца назад

      Are your pads worn down? How many miles do you have on the bike?

    • @DavidLeeMenefee
      @DavidLeeMenefee 3 месяца назад +1

      I have about 500 miles on the bike now. I'm not sure, the bike was just in the shop last month for some Tanis inserts and they said everything else is fine. I hope this helps.@@leetjohnson

      @@DavidLeeMenefee right on....I'd say if it's still stopping ok it's no big deal, but if the brakes start squeeking, I'd replace the pads, and if it's not stopping ok, maybe bleed the brake lines to remove any air bubbles.

    Just a minor gripe, I've seen two of your videos and both time you keep referring to a crescent wrench, when you actually mean is just a wrench, or as the Brits like to say, a spanner. A crescent wrench is actually an adjustable wrench made by the Crescent company.
    I'm thinking about buying a Freedom, which is how I found your channel, but recently found that Ecells is taking orders for virtually a clone of this bike at a pretty good discount when you consider the free shipping, no tax, discount codes, and free front rack. So, it has thrown a wrench into the works. 😀
    Like your videos, thanks.
    Edit: misspelling

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  3 месяца назад

      No, I meant a crescent wrench. That way, it can be used on any nut on the bike rather than bringing a set of wrenches.

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  3 месяца назад +1

      And it's not a grip, it's a gripe.... 😂 Just messing around, I know it was probably just auto correct. That clone does look compelling, hopefully they didn't cut any corners.

    • @eddwil7
      @eddwil7 3 месяца назад

      Pretty sure on this side of the pond anybody who has used wrenches often including every mechanic refers to adjustable wrenches as a "crescent wrench" regardless of brand. The same goes with channel locks.

    I bought that same tube Mongoose from amazon and what showed up was in the same box as you have on this video but the tube says Chaoyang in white lettering on the tube,Is this right or was it a bait and switch.I paid over $20 with tax.

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  3 месяца назад

      Interesting....I'm not sure what happened. It seems like Chaoyang has been dominating the market lately.
