SRAM Replaced My 30 Year Old Recalled RockShox Mag 20 Forks
I was working on an old Bianchi mountain bike that had RockShox Mag 20 forks. The forks would bottom out without a lot of weight. They are air/oil forks, and I thought they would just need some more air, maybe oil. I started looking online for service docs, but found a recall notice for these forks from 1995. These forks were made in 1992. Apparently the fork crown was prone to cracking. I tried calling the number on the recall notice, but it wasn't any good. I found a recall number of SRAM's site. Keep in mind, RockShox wasn't even a part of SRAM until 2002. So I called SRAM to ask about the recall on these 30 year forks, not expecting much. They took my name and address, and said they w...

How To Keep Bike Handlebar Grip Ends From Ripping
Просмотров 29 тыс.Год назад
A simple trick costing only 10 cents can help protect your handlebar grip ends from getting torn up. I show you the "nickel trick" that helps protect the rubber grip ends from being cut by the open end of the handlebars. What causes this tearing is usually something like the bike falling over and the end of the handlebar cutting into the rubber like a chisel. This helps cover up the sharp ends ...
How To Straighten/Align A Bent Derailleur Hanger
Просмотров 65 тыс.Год назад
I noticed the derailleur seemed to be sitting at different angle than the cogs on the cassette. Looking closer, it looked like the derailleur hanger was bent. So I used my Park Tool DAG 2.2 Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauge to straighten the hanger. I show the process. The Park Tool DAG 2.2 is a really nice tool, but it is kind of expensive. So I have a video shwoing how to make a cheaper home ...

How To Make An Extra Long Hex Socket Tool
Просмотров 11 тыс.Год назад
I show how to make a really extra long hex socket tool. I was working on overhauling a Suntour XCC fork, and to remove the lowers, I needed to remove a 5mm hex bolt that is deeply recessed in a hole. I normally use on of my Tekton extra long hex sockets, but in this case, it wasn't long enough. The blade length was about 5 inches, and I needed a tool with maybe 6 1/2" to 7" blade length. I look...
Fixing/Overhauling Free Fuji Nevada Mountain Bike

I got this 2002 Fuji Nevada for free from a friend. He used to ride it around his college campus. He stripped the bike, and uglified so it wouldn't be stolen. Then it spent several years living outside in the New York weather. It was in rough shape. I needed A LOT of work. I replaced the rear derailleur, bottom bracket, chain, cables/housings, shifters, and grips. I cleaned up the parts for rus...

I show how to overhaul a bottom bracket with new sealed cartridge bearings. The bottom bracket was rough moving, and a little stiff.

The sealed cartridge bearings are part number 163110-2RS or (16mm ID, 31mm OD, 10mm width, and the 2RS stands for two rubber seals). The sockets I used were 5/8, and 7/8, b...

Answer Manitou Three (Manitou 3) Fork Rebuild/Overhaul
Просмотров 14 тыс.Год назад
I show the process of how to rebuild an Answer Manitou 3 suspension fork. I bought this Diamondback Axis TR mountain bike a few years ago at an auction. The forks were dead. The elastomers were toast, and the forks easily bottomed out. I finally got around to overhauling it, and rebuilding it with new elastomers. I believe the process of rebuilding an Answer Manitou 4 fork is very similar. Answ...
Disc Brake Conversion/Upgrade On Mountain Bike

I show the process of converting from V-Brakes to Disc Brakes on a mountain bike. I bought this Specialized Rockhopper Comp a few years ago. It was in rough shape, but it had promise. What I liked about it was the frame & forks and had disc brake mounts, and the wheels were set up to mount disc brake rotors. It was screaming for this upgrade. I finally got around to doing it.

Answer Manitou 1 Fork Rebuild/Overhaul

I show how to tear down and rebuild a Answer Manitou 1 fork. I picked up this Marin mountain bike cheap because the fork was dead (bottomed out). The elastomers were toast.

I warmed up the fork to turn them back to goo, and was able to pull them apart. I used h...
Thrift Store Find - TWO Recumbent Bikes - $75 Each

I had a little time, so I hit a couple thrift stores. At the Goodwill, I found a BikeE recumbent bike for $75. A real bargain. And I rarely see recumbent bikes in thrift stores. So I bought it. After a brief struggle to get it into the back of my Honda Civic, I got it home. It was in good shape. But after researching the bike, I thought it should have a seat back. So I headed back to Goodwill t...

    One problem I have with the grip shifter on the right side is that the rotating part of the grip shifter cannot be separated from the fixed part of the shifter although I rotated and pulled the gript part of the shifter many times. Another problem I have with the grip shifter on the left side is that although I could separate the grip pat, it cannot be put back completely. The fixed part of the grip shifter is away from the rotating part by about 2mm. Although the shifter works, the rotating part must be pressed by the fixed part of the shifter and the handle bar grip.

    It is easier to move the brake lever and the grip shifter by loosening bolts rather than removing or loosening the handle bar grip.

I did think of swapping them out for a better fork but I have no idea what will fit. Thanks to your video I'm gona get a rebuild kit and see if I can stiffen them up and even add a lock out to them. I know it's a low spec bike but i feel it's a good place to begin
