Could you do a video on replacing brakes, cables, gears and derailleur? Your videos are clear and easy to follow

Apologies for the late response. Thanks for the thoughtful comment, and I'm glad to hear you found the videos helpful. The videos you're asking for are coming VERY soon. I've recorded a new bike build series and will be posting videos from the frame-up and swapping most parts from one bike to another. I believe the first video is scheduled to be viewable in two or three weeks. Stay tuned 👍

@@norcoteamti395 Yup! Wrenching has been a passion for me since a very young age, but then again my dad was a mechanic. My high school had a full blown mechanic shop with multiple lifts and never ending tools, which we could use for hours at a time. It's always felt like therapy for me. but I totally understand that it's not for everyone.🙂

In case no one knows, you can repack your bearings. You just need the right size of the "ball". Most of the time, you just need to clean them and put grease in.

Holy S#!T What a BIG miss on my part, especially when considering how many times I've mentioned this point in other videos involving bearings. thank you SO much for pointing this out for everyone. 👍

Love the altalt stuff!! Used the suspension kit, used it to replace the suspension bearing on my ibis mojo3. Ibis doesn’t recommend replacing the bearings instead sells the linkages. I had to modify some of the altalt parts to get them to sit flat.

I have to admit, the kit has been super flexible so far, and the Alt drift is such a simple and effective solution. I really hope they make it work with smaller bearings. I have a ripley v4 link sitting in a box for months with the plan to put some time into developing a solution that will make it safe and easy to remove and install bearings on it. Feel free to share your experience. I probably won't get around to it until winter time considering how many things I have going on right now

@@zoubtube For the Mojo3 the sleeves need to be modified to allow it to sit flat. The upper link has a ramped surface that prevents the sleeve from sitting flat, I filed a chamfer into the sleeve. The lower link has 2 ribs that don’t allow the sleeve to sit flat, cut 2 slots in the sleeve to allow it to sit flat. Since the parts are made from acetal, it’s super simple to file or use a dremel. Bonus: you can fit aftermarket “max” bearings which are better than the “caged” bearings that Ibis uses. Cheers!!

@@norcoteamti395 Now that's an awesome tip! Thanks for sharing. I wish frame designers would take stuff like this into consideration. Unlike older bikes, modern bikes really do require regular maintenance; they just about demand it. I fundamentally believe that the easier the service experience, the more likely people will want to service their bikes, which in turn provides a better overall experience when riding them. Ultimately leading to higher overall customer satisfaction, which translates to sales. 👍

Great video ! thanks, any idea what could've caused the scratch on your dog bone (you show us on minute 22:08) , mine came back exactly the same as yours after I send it to a frame service... and previously was like new... also in min 44:54 you see a fine line mark at the top of the same piece... mine also got it... this one I believe that is from the shock hammering the dogbone when removing the shock.... but the other scratch makes me wonder what happened, as mine is now exactly as yours...

Thanks for the comment. I can't really say. this was a friends bike. He had no idea how it happened when I showed him (actually, there were many things messed up with his bike that he was unaware of). If I was to guess, I would say that something got trapped between the dogbone and between the upper mounts on the seat tube that caused the damage as the dogbone moves when riding. but again, it's a guess. wish I had a better answer 😔

sir may I know the sizes or the actual bearing numbers of what you used as replacement bearings
@zoubtube

The small bearings are the 6900 bearings. Very common bearing that can be easily found online. The larger ones are the 6902, but they have a lip on them. you need to make sure you buy them with the lip. best bet is to buy those from Yeti

I'm pretty sure the mechanism isn't. The stanchions' wear over time and if not maintained properly they will wear quick. If anyone has an absolute answer to this please share

even though switch infinity does have a nice ride to it, I can't think of a bigger PITA suspension system to maintain. and if there is one, I don't want to know about it 😉
