Had to fully disassemble my full-suspension bike for shipping once. I learned a lot and now doing maintenance is almost as fun as riding. Much appreciated advice, thanks!

Anna, that's not how you use the vernier to measure pad thickness. If you want a depth measurement with the verniers you use the little slide piece that comes out the back end when you open the jaws by placing the back edge of the scales flat on the pad then opening the jaws till the sliding piece contacts the backing plate. This will give you a much more accurate depth measurement compared to eye balling one of the jaws to the edge

@@snowshred4life Some like TecTro also specify a total thickness like 2.5mm. Also for digital calipers one can measure the backing thickness then zero. Then measure and get thickness. Like using the depth feature you mentioned but I find easier to control.

The bottom line unless you live with a bike mechanic doing at least some of your own maintenance is a must. Also it can make you a better rider.

People don't buy tools because it's "expensive" but then go pay 100$ an hour to get greased up and have bolts tightened. I don't like being poor.

I asked my friend who has a bike shop about that, his response: suspension service. "Nobody wants to pay 200-300$ to service a 500$ fork or shock. Some do.. not most customers" 😂

Anna, great instructive video. One of my bikes is an old GT that I use for general errands and groceries. I started to have gear slippage every time I'd shift from 4 to 3. Owen (I think) had a video on checking your chain. I had them check at the local shop. Too late. By the time I learned chain upkeep and checking, I'd worn out the chain, chainring and cassette. So, there goes about $150 I hadn't counted on. Lesson learned. Bike maintenance is essential...even on the old junkers.

I'm still using M739 V-brake levers I bought WAY....back in 2006 and M760 XT V-brakes I bought in 2007; they work Great😁🤘🤘. I want to go back to the XTR/XT V-brake holders/pads, though. I'm not really liking these rather cheap Jegwire brake pads.

Bolt checks are especially useful on new bikes or with new parts. Lots of stuff that can loosen itself at such a time. I've had to continually monitor my pedals the last few weeks on vacation until they stopped loosening

having OCD is sometimes a good thing, cleaning a bike and wiping it dry after every ride, forces you to look at almost every inch of it and because of that, you may see a problem that the non-OCD person wouldn't. Lol

You're using your Vernier Calliper the wrong way to measure your pad thickness. Use depth stem at the base.

#askgmbntech Hi, yesterday I went to a bike park for the first time and after a couple of runs my hands started hurting like crazy. I've noticed that my FS-LYRK-RCT3-B1 doesn't absorb bumps that well even though I'm running 30% sag. It was fully serviced a month ago but even right after setting it up it still felt wrong. Moreover there is 0 difference in the rebound settings (and I know I feel every click on other forks I've tried) now that the season is coming to an end for me I'm thinking if it is even worth servicing or if it'd be just easier to get a used Lyrik ultimate 2022 for about triple the service price (as for setting up the fork I have, blindly guessing what I would need doesn't help, I went through all the guidelines I could find)

I'm still using the original and VERY WELL used middle and top chainrings on my M770 HollowTek 2 XT Crank from 2008😳😏. The only reason the small chainring was replaced was because it was bent. I'm also still using the M970 9spd. XTR cassette (this better be the Titanium cogged one; it cost me $250.00🍁) from 2011. And yes, the teeth l👀k l!ke sh🦈rks teeth lol. I finally replaced the derailer pulleys on my 2009 M772 XT Shadow rear derailer in 2021; they def❗️nitely l😳😳ked like 🥷⭐️'s HaHa. They're not the sealed bearing ones😖, though, just regular Deore pulleys 😖lol

Not called chain stretch though is it - as you say it's lengthening due wear. It's simply just called chain wear or chain lengthening. Those that call it stretch don't understand what is happening. Gmbn should know better.
