Build a Better Bike

Will you do a video to show how to true a wheel? I have wanted to know how that is done but there aren’t really good videos out there on how to do it.

Good idea. I’ve been waiting for someone to put together a series of good maintenance videos.

I think eventually you should try to cover almost everything, but a good start would honestly be all the basic repair so many people struggle with or don’t know how to do. Minor derailleur and brake adjustment, other little things that people often shell out too much for and are easy to do at home.

Once all the basics are covered, i would go ahead and cover everything. Repacking bearings, removing and installing new parts across the bike, tuning your suspension, bleeding hydro brakes… Sheldon brown is fantastic, but some up-to-date, free videos could be a hugely important resource with all the folks who ride these days… If your not already, i’d put them all on a nice youtube channel as well, make them as easy to find as possible.

Nice blog, and best of luck with the videos.

Oh, and like alan said, some quality wheel building and truing videos would be fantastic.
