Spent 8 hours tuning my bike up last week.. first ride after, I smashed a rock and cracked my frame. You got me, 2020.

Came to learn how to do it...now I'm on my way back to my regular mechanic with an extra $10 tip.

No doubt Pinbike only got better after Christina started presenting. Super knowledgeable, great rider and easy to communicate and explain all topics. Great Job!

The best tools for any MTB are:

sledge hammer
angle grinder
plumber pliers
crowbar

How to tune-up your bike: be a bike mechanic

[williamgalloway]

As the saying goes, look after your bike and your bike will look after you. When the bikes at home, it's time to give it some love, when it's on the trails, it's at work.

Solid tips but just a FYI, its isn't as effortless as she shows. It takes few hours for someone who is new to all this.

Service my fork lowers every 10 rides ? NAHT

[Yhigma]

0:53 every 10 rides would mean I have to do the lower service on my fork for my main bike twice a month. I agree doing it often makes the bike feel better, but I've settled for every ~4 months before it feels really terrible, but not so much time in the garage, more time riding

Top video jajajajaj now feel motivated to get on the trail mzself, what gest me going the longest while bike is *delta parole* or other rokk music!

My favorite set of shoulders back at jt again 🥰

[DownhillDr]

Great vid. How bout for us less bike mech knowledgeable you make a 10' video for each step?

[drmoynihan]

Whew Christina!
This is so beyond me and my abilities, however...
I can wash my bike, and I can check for anything loose, and check my brake pads. Looks like sometime I will have to find a competent mechanic to go over my Commencal FS every once in a while! 🤪

A fun way to tell if Christina is presenting is if the bike in the thumbnail is a Trek. Are you supported by them in some way?

Every time I service anything I take it to a shop with tail between my legs. I swear all those washers and different lines and degreasers and specifications with carbon frame torque. I go into peaceful and leave wishing I knew more or that I was Rich. Love the vids though. They all Help me get closer to fixing my own and a little more confident

[berniebee]

Damn I just learned a lot. And now I go online to buy more tools and supplies! 😝😝😝😝
