    *Maintenance Hack: Make cable nipples out of solder* 2 cables for price of one!
    Tested myself.
    1)Drill a hole the diameter and depth of a typical cable nipple in a hardwood block.
    2)Drill a slot half the depth of hole 1 and ensure that the slot feeds into the side of hole 1. This is for a cable to sit in.
    3)Fill hole 1 with molten solder and plunge the cable through the slot and into the solder. After it has set remove from the mold and clean up edges. You now have a new nipple on your cable.
    This is great when you buy a new cable that is super long, don't chuck the excess, make a new nipple for it and now you have 2 cables for the price of one!!

      I've tried to solder SS cable ends before instead of using crimp-on ends and had poor luck with it. Normal lead/tin solder doesn't stick to it. Quick research says silver solder works, but that stuff is expensive for a cost saving measure on a cheap part. Did you test with galvanized or stainless cable?

  • @bwtalbot
    @bwtalbot 4 года назад +2

    Couple of top tips...
    1. You can put the bottom bracket tool in the bench vice and the whole frame works like a lever. Its stays on the tool much easier, and is great for stuck bottom brackets. Takes the hassle out of it.
    2. When doing anything that involves hitting the fork steerer tube, don't put the fork on the ground as it can damage them. Just hold the fork in the air by the steerer tube or under the crown and hit it, it will still work.
    Love the heatshrink on the cabling, never thought to do that myself. I put heatshrink on the ends of my road bike bar tape though. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

    What’s the point of threading the fork if you’ve got the stem as well? Doesn’t the stem tighten the headset already?

    • @BermPeakExpress
      @BermPeakExpress  4 года назад +24

      Yes and no. The stem can only work without threading if you get the little adapter for the bottom, and they were out of stock. Instead of waiting, I did it the old fashioned way!

      Yeah, mountain bikes really demand a more robust material than carbon.
      On a road bike carbon is great because those bikes aren’t abused in the same way as mountain bikes; I’d personally prefer a bike that could take a beating rather than something that is a few pounds lighter.

      From what I've seen and heard, Diamondback bikes come pretty cheaply spec'd. My neighbor gets a fair discount on them, but only buys them for his kids. Due to the subpar components, he doesn't buy them for himself. That said, Seth always seems to change out the components, so who cares what it ships with.
