Bicycle Repair & Ownership : How to Overhaul a Bike's Hub

[iRIDEbmxALLdayy]

hee hee rusty balls ^_^

[claudearchibald]

That was less than half an overhaul. Videos need to show what the title says it will show!

[MrCheesepuffs14]

get all the balls out

[MrCheesepuffs14]

RUZTY B@LLS

[azizukman]

How do you put it back together? Another video that's not fit for purpose. If someone goes through the trouble of making this type of video, why not at least cover the whole process.

[john15yt]

Nice vid --- short and concise. Thank you.

[novasocool]

rim is toast

"Theres my rusty balls"

[BSworldwide]

RuSTY BALLzz

[axlesteel12]

I have an old Montgomery ward three wheeler, and the bearings are seized in the rear axle, and the axle itself is rusted from sitting outside for 10+ years, I have tried everything and I still can't get the axle to slide out of the bearings, any ideas? Any help is appreciated

[amemy1]

@axlesteel12 Heat.

[DKdekes]

how do you put them back??

[biggixer]

Great vid. 9 balls per side is good . I have seen on previous bikes I have owned as little as 6 per side. . Worth checking this out from new as when you need to repair the hub it is usually ruined. Cheers

[kinhellfa]

I agree with Toby48624 (apart from the swearing). This is a video tutorial given freely by someone with subject matter knowledge & experience (paid professional perhaps?).

Subject Matter Experts should provide constructive criticism where appropriate and, for the rest of us, if we cannot contribute meaningful dialogue we should consider moving on to children's television.

I anticipate responses. Having watched this video once and taken note, I for one will be moving onto the next tutorial.

[ramonmurodiaz]

hi have a special reason for the use of gloves lates

[paulo35961]

great video!



[SerenityValleyVFR]

Putting the magnet in the area magnetizes everything in the area -not just the balls. It magnetizes the hub/bearing races as well as the axle if it is still in there.

magnets don't belong anywhere near bearings. It's bad mechanical practice and if you did something like that in any mechanics school (bicycle/motorcycle/automotive­/diesel) they'd gig you for it.

[AQHackAQ]

@SerenityValleyVFR what's wrong with magnetizing the hub/bearings ?????

[SerenityValleyVFR]

@AQHackAQ What's wrong with filling my tires with rusty thumb-tacks?

[SerenityValleyVFR]

Oh, no! Magnets and bearings don't mix :(  The last thing you want is to magnetize the parts so they suck in metal bits.

[naterd00d]

@SerenityValleyVFR they are being thrown away, that's why he talkes about where to find new ones

[SerenityValleyVFR]

@naterd00d He's throwing away the hub and cones too? There is more to bearings than just the balls.

Also, I've noticed that people who use magnets to pull out old balls also tend to use them to place the new ones in.

Bad wrenching practice...

[naterd00d]

@SerenityValleyVFR what? he says in the video that everything else looks fine, he didnt remove that stuff with the magnet, only the balls which he mentioned were done for...And you cant assume he puts them back in with magnets, in fact i doubt he does....Literally trying to show your non-existent bike superiority by making up issues

[SoldatSolutrea]

Does the advent of there being 'balls' involved in this lesson make you silly heads reminisce about testicles? I'm assuming so, useful video

[insx]

Thanks.

[kezzafish444]

grease it up and put the balls in

[adhdparkour]

rusty balls

[brandonf90]

1:00 theres all them rusty balls

[DavidGraesser]

theres all those rusty balls.....

[Nacob07]

When i try to loosen my axle nut, my axle moves on the other side... my friend said thats bad... any help guys?

[titanarum666]

@Nacob07 yes. you need to use a wrench on both sides of the axle. to prevent the axle from turning. one side to secure the other to remove. 

[Nacob07]

@titanarum666 thanks :D

[Lilmsmajk]

16 years ago when i was 14 it was break down trial and error. people helping one another on the TUBE makes this stuff really easy now. thanks for the great post.

[krusen]

Thx Travis from Spain for the tutorial.

[BarnacleNZ]

Thanks for the video, before i saw this i thought i was going to have to replace my rear hub as it got a little noisy. Might be able to get away with just putting new balls in there!

[seranio45]

rusty balls lol

[titanarum666]

good video my only problem is how do you get the bearings back in with out them falling all over the place and down the axle shaft

[PaulPendor]

@titanarum666 Just add some grease to the ball race (inside the wheel) and then push the ball bearings into the grease. The grease will then hold them in place whilst you insert the axle. You can than add grease onto the cones as you put those back in.

[titanarum666]

@PaulPendor thanks tricky little suckers arnt they

[daboychuck]

@titanarum666 did u find out howcuzi hve that same prob.

[keytograve]

rusty balls

[ihavenomate]

Cheers for this.

[genus2]

That rim is definitely bent

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

lol. Rusty balls?

1:00

[hamsterman81]

i fucked up my hub...

[crimsonfeuerill]

and there yah go, all those rusty balls there.

[joshy6231]

My casset is very stiff, but it's not rusty and i;ve tried oiling it and looseing the co-nuts. What else do you sugest i can do:)?

[emforty2]

i have a vintage bike the old original bearings looked good and probably better than the freaking cheaply made china bearings that the local bike shop sells for 15cent a piece

they said they did not carry German or Swedish ball bearings only cheap china bearing  junk they buy in bulk

[daFranch1se69]

He sure loves talking about balls and their look and feel (rusty,etc.) He sure is an expert at balls.

j/k good teaching.

[masterlee123]

@daFranch1se69 hehehee you sad balls, hehehe

[zeb1117]

does it work the same way for road bike hubs?

[mrchip009]

hahaha rusty balls hahaha

[ao666777]

if u dont know how to remove grease, you're an idiot

[Toby48624]

why dont you pathetic guys just leave him alone!?

He's providing information for free and if you dont like it fuck off!

[andrew097]

I agree with you

[rotorman13b]

That was pretty pathetic in my opinion. He failed to show how to and what to use to clean off the old grease.

If he were to reuse the old balls, the old balls are now magnetized and as it wears over time, metal particles will attract to the balls and the race and thus will greatly increase wear of the hub for that matter.

Lastly, he never showed how to torque the cones back on and how much play to set them to, which is just as important as replacing the old grease in overall maintainability.

[vogelholkken]

rusty balls, sure sounds like this guy likes to clean his balls.. and others too.

[Rmz250ryder]

Bent rim or is just me? prob. me lol

[grim0008]

HAHAHA YA it's bent and cracked probley scared 2 fuck up a good rim

[easternrider2012]

i saw it 2

[vieja91]

he loves to say balls through out the video XD

[fordieform]

lol i swear it sounded like he did

-hero

[nevadabob1234567890]

Nice beginning. Worthless ending. No information on how to properly set up the bearings. When's it too tight or not tight enough. Etc., etc.

[butthole654]

really cool gloves man :)

[ErwinvanderWerve]

Nice gloves!

[aeolus75]

big thanks from Paris france :)))
