So glad to find your Channel!

I hope you aren't offended that I also Love your Accent!

It is so heartwarming that you address Us as Students, and you show the Mechanics determination to care for the customer!

And you teach the mechanic to teach the customer as well! I wish there were more Bike Gurus like you!

1 - A
2 - it will apply mutch more tension on the stand bracket
3 - all moving parts, such as drivetrain, chain, derailleur, suspensions and dropper post

[gmbmedia]

I've been a fan of your channel specially with you riding Merida bikes and your bike tutorials another informative video sir .Kudos to you

[Shezaad]

1. A. Yes you can
2. If the bicycle is horizontal then it can put undue tension on where the bicycle is clamped as well as the stand itself.
3. The moving parts, so the drivetrain, the damper, the front suspension fork and dropper post.

[teryrnon]

1. A
2. To make sure the teeth in the stand are not under too much strain, and your posture during the repair to make it easier.
3. The moving parts like the the suspension and drivetrain components.

Very satisfying and Nice video! Hello from Ukraine!

[JamesDownes]

Get a small section of pipe insulation from plumbing hardware store leave in Jaws of stand, I always secure bike at top tube.

[RicardoMGonzaga]

1. A
2. Because the bike may not be equilibrated and fall down
3. clean and lubricate the chain and drivetrain and also suspension parts & dropper post. Basically moving parts

[nanfredman]

Excellent, useful and basic information! Thank you so much.

[martinhoude]

1) A
2) Because if you remove a part, such as wheel, you may upset the balance of the bike, causing either damage to the stand or making the stand fall, possibly damaging the bike as well.
3) Any moving parts.

Question #1 from me: I noticed an old frame with the derailleur on the wheel axle! I have a similar frame on a bike, with the following issue: where to find a derailleur that can be attached there? That spacer attachment does not exist anymore, and it's not an easily removable/changeable part. When I wanted to replace the derailleur, I found I could not. Meanwhile, that stabilizing screw hole is difficult to access when in a pinch (the cassette side nut is impossible to hold on to without a closed spanner).

Question #2: Dutch bikes tend to be heavy. Mine is also built for heavy duty, and it is REALLY heavy. It takes all my strength to pull up to the stand; then the height is not great since I can't put it high. It's also impossible to elevate after clamping, since the weight makes it impossible to have enough leverage. I have a stand similar to one in the video (with the red grip). Do you have tricks outside brute strength?

Question #3: How about suspending a bike from the ceiling? Sometimes, wall space is at a premium...

6:15 it's dream trail hardtail! Is it Merida Bigtrail?

[MrDpak]

1. A. Yes
2. Because it puts more tension on the teeth of the bike stand and also on the clamped part of the bicycle i.e. commonly the dropper post.
3. Drive Train, Damper, Suspension fork, and Dropper Post - parts that move and can cause wear and tear due to friction or being dirty.

I am 15 and I have a bike fixing business and I always go through with the customers how to properly lube their chain because 9 times out of 10 they put the live everywhere over everything then the jockey wheels get clogged, chain is black from grease and there is significant wear on all drivetrain components.

[Bullitluna]

Love the video's and having a quiz after. What did you put on your brush to clean your bike.

[lereujS]

1: A
2: Make sure the bike's weight is distributed so it doesn't put too much tension on where the bike is clamped and the stand itself.
3: Cleaning the moving parts: drivetrain, demper, suspension dropper

[bad_copnkrvandermerwe]

1. C
2. It puts a lot of tension on the v-theeth of the stand and dropper or seat post.
3. Drivetrain components, front and rear suspension, moving points and dropper post

[JouTuubi]

1.) A
2.) Your bike may fall down or tongue your bike stand.
3.) Clean and lubricate your chain and drivetrain and also suspension parts & dropper post.

[qiokenv]

1 a
2 you’ll apply unwanted tension to the stand
3 The uppers + seals of your fork, drivetrain, dropper post and

[jimbrittain]

1: A; 2: the horizontal position can stress teeth on stands with teeth; 3: Clean the moving parts: drivetrain, suspension, &c.

06:13 enter the Merida Big Trail 600! I wanted one of these here in New Zealand but they never imported any so I had to get a Giant Fathom instead. Have you posted any riding videos of this one?
