  1. (cry for help) So I have this Crescent mountain bike I abused for years as a teenager, I swapped a wire for the front gear shift and tried giving it a spin but the gears on the back are just horrendous, the back cassette is pretty worn out and the chain is pretty sad as well. Will changing the back cassette and chain give it new life or are there other parts I should look over as well? ~New too tinkering on bikes.

  2. I am sorry, but this is not a problem of 3 years no service. This is 15 years of overgreasing and leaving it in a dusty garage. This is a total restoration, which would cost more than the bike is worth. I have had a bike that i rode for 25 years without regular service that did not look this bad.

  3. There is absolutely no reason to disassemble deraileurs and such. this whole service would cost over $500 if done, more than once, or even twice the price of the price of a new bike.

  4. Modern bikes are not built to last, and you pay over 800 euro now for an average bike. I only have my bike about a year and a half, and the chain is already slipping over the teeth. Wouldn't you think with all the advancement in technology that they'd have cogs/teeth that would last longer? I remember the old high nelly bikes, they had one gear, and a chain that lasted for years. It's like they're not made to last at all these days.

  5. I found that wooden single use cutlery (the knives) are best to scrape old goo from chainrings and derailluers. Super cheap, can be used multiple times, doesnt scratch and have nice streight and non-streight (idk what its called) edge. Give it a try!

  6. Huh, maybe i should bring in my bike… i got the bavk cassette and chain replaced but this vid makes me see how much more might need to be fixed (it's a very old second hand bike so i have 0 clue how old most components are)

  7. I think my fire to bike repair renewed. Today i found time, to servise fully my deore derauleur, change transmission, but unfortunately steer was for tapered, and i have 1 1/8, so i need to order new, and give away this one to colegue, lol

  8. This is neglect, if he did the bare minimum of lubing and cleaning it would last far longer and the damage would be less severe.

  9. We used to get bikes like this come in all the time in the shop I worked at.
    They'd usually come in asking for a gear adjustment or something not realising every single thing on their bike was worn out/rusted to death lol
