When he goes to the ‘lathe-level’ was like, dude - just make a new fork ! Best detail is when he realizes he needs to switch to boots from sneakers. The fact that it didn't end up as scrap is most important. Good save, Daoyan Joe ! Mad skills.
Fabulous! My Dad used to reload his ammuntion and make rifles and I would watch and get to know the methods. His belief, which has been proven from my experience (altho some bike mech's are numbskulls), was that the best mechanics were bicycle and motdorcycle RIDERS. This guy proves the point! A translation tool would be cool, youtube...
The Park Tool FT-4 fork clamp and gauge is long discontinued but they can be found used sometimes on eBay and other used resale sites. I got mine from eBay and it makes this alignment job so much easier along with the standard p dropout alignment tools. Nice job using the custom-machined insert to straighten and reinforce the bent stem. Was that epoxy that you used with it?
I tried making my own alignment gauge like you had but the re-bent fork never was perfect and would always pull slightly to one side riding with no hands on the bars. With the FT-4 tool I was able to make them perfectly true first time and indistinguishable from brand new forks. Only with steel forks -never with aluminum, of course. Aluminum is unsafe to bend back. I work mainly with vintage steel English bicycles such as Raleigh.
@@svbarryduckworth628 yeah the main problem of my way to fix is can not control 100%，sometimes with luck.the situation you told that hard to ride with no hand not all caused by front fork，some times with rear frame fork problem.
I think you’re being quite modest mate, your approach was very slow, deliberate and dare I say it “gentle”. Very impressive - but also testament to quality steel products like Rivendell or Surly. Just check out the force you were applying to the clamp when securing the steerer tube - try that with a dodgy steel fork….😂.
Rear frame alignment can be accurately measured with strings while the frame is in a standard mechanic's bike frame stand. The Sheldon Brown bike mechanic website shows how to set these up. The head tube must be absolutely perpendicular to the axis of the frame and parallel with the seat tube before the rear triangle can be aligned or it will not track straight.. This can be measured with a long pipe the same diameter of fork and use strings -and also eyeball along the seat tube. This all can be done with home-made tools, strings and long straight edges and pipes. But I could never make a fork perfect without the FT-4. It took me almost six months of watching ebay every day until I found one at a price I could justify as a hobbyist bike mechanic. They are rare now and shockingly expensive.

Can you see the auto translation now？

Its stainless steel 304，thx for sharing FT-4，I‘m going to searching it.

这手法……这白色的液体……真是正经的修车节目
真的是在认真修车
Have to know the rules to break the rules!
yeah
Good music, good job!
thx sir
做个液压的jig是不是容易点？另外，mill+lathe被晃动后得重新调水平了？:)
milling machine的台钳我重新找平了，液压需要支点，往后我研究研究，谢谢建议
您好，能帮忙做铝架的车架修复吗？有一个凹陷处，不严重，但是车架本身比较昂贵。
铝合金很难钣金，你去问问汽车喷漆精修，一般只有用腻子处理
Nice workl
heat steel
Considering protect the painting，so I did not heat the tube
Don't try this with your carbon forks!
