About

For business inquiries: [email protected] Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/bikefarmer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_EJ48NMTTBY3TCFTN53B2 Inspired by Bob Ross, the BikeFarmer videos are more of a 'Watch Me Work' style than a 'How To Fix Bikes" channel, the BikeFarmer videos will follow lifelong shop owner and mechanic, Andy Q as he works through bicycle projects, mostly refurbishing used bikes for resale, but also anything related to shop life. This channel is designed for anyone with an interest in bicycle bicycle tuneups, repair, used bicycle refurbishing. I don't claim to know the best methods for any of this, but I am a professional bicycle mechanic at a small town shop specializing in practical bicycles and general purpose bikes for everyday people. I'd love to see feedback, comments and discussions on all aspects of my work. Hopefully I'll learn as much you do. Every bike has its own set of circumstances and problems to work through.

Video Description

I mean, it's whatever, right? If the customer absolutely insists it's worth it, then I guess it is. Half of you don't think this bike is worth $25 and the other half of you think it must be saved at all costs. I just think it's a bike. And it's actually a pretty good one, but it is TOTALLY ROACHED MAN! This is a BIG video! 00:00 Introduction 01:54 Removing Chain and Rear Derailleur 02:53 Derailleur Hanger Alignment 05:08 Wheel and Kickstand Removal 05:43 Removing the cables 08:00 Cleaning the bike 09:47 Greasing the rear hub 13:51 Wheel Cleaning and Truing (Truthing Stand Rant) 33:45 Repacking the front hub bearings 37:32 Wiping as we go 38:39 Installing the kickstand 39:25 Replacing broken crank arm 40:36 Reassembling the Bicycle 44:27 Gresing threaded headset 48:35 Installing new grip shifters 53:52 Brakes - new pads and setup 1:03:57 Replacing the Saddle 1:04:42 Adjusting the Derailleurs 1:07:45 Final Setup 1:11:19 Test Ride and Outro My Wife's AWARD WINNING DEBUT NOVEL!
