nice bike !!
if you have a bike like this you prob know how to tighten bolts…
Ya especialy the the cranks… i went rideing right after the snow melted and my crank arm fell off hahaha
nice and tight nice and tight lolll
how much is that
bike i want one
Seriously, I hope no one pays for some ****** bag to do nothing to your bike!! DIY
Quite frankly I don’t see this guy overtightenig anything. He’s clockwise adjusting loose parts just enough. A fast checkup, don’t think there’s a misleading skipping of technical nature here.
You can but it is long winded. You have to change you shifter, derrallier, chain, cassette and possibly you free wheel. I f your bike came with six speeds then i am guessing it is a budget bike in which i don’t thinhk it is a good idea.
This vid is very misleading. Nearly every bolt, especially pivot bolts, fork crown bolts and crank bolts, have certain torque recommendations that need to be adhered to. Over tightening can cause damage and failures which will result in injury or death.
Also, if your a bike mechanic then
I’m appalled, You’re a disgrace. Simply tightening bolts to the limit is just not good enough. I would be outraged if i had someone like you working on my bike.
You would also have to buy a new hub and/or a new rim, depending on the hub you choose, to accommodate the larger cassette. Both 8 and 9 speeds use the same hub so you can switch between them if you wish.
hey, my deraillure eat my spokes, haha does that ruin the rims? i was hoppinyg off of my curb, i bought a new derailure but im not sure about the rim. Whats do you think, this has been the second time in the life of my bike that this has happened, i always thought it was a normal, but the next one im going to adjust the inboard adjustment.
You could, but you’d have to change your rear derailleur and trigger to the right speed. You may also have to change the chain to a thinner one to allow for 9 speed gearing.
Depending on what range you go for you’d be looking at at least £50 ($80) and probably a fair bit more, due to the number of parts you’d have to change.
I wonder if i can change my cassette from a 6 spd to 8 or a 9 spd, i that possible??? plz answer quickly!
Great. Just make sure everything is nice and tight
Nice bike……..I want one….
those are some large discs
50-50 pedals best pedals ever
hehe i must reccomend
And derailleur cages love eating spokes too!
Can i have that bike?
Thought the same thing Jeff! Also check your rear deraillure inboard limit *****. Spokes love eating deraillure cages.
What? no torque wrench! setting a bad example. No mention of one. Careful!
wow… because he has a nice bike already so its not that Difficult to adjust it…. my bike ***** by the way and i painted it black now its look very bad …
