  It&apos;s hilarious how the bike industry has brain washed the public into buying all that expensive snake oil lube and nonsense chain waxing stuff. It&apos;s an utter waste of time. This channel is a breath of fresh air! &nbsp;Keep it simple and ride on!

  We need more of guys like this in America. Down to earth, just wants people on bikes. You don’t need a 5k carbon race bike to get to work or around town. In fact I’d be afraid it’d get stollen or banged up. These old bikes ride great and have thousands of miles on em. If his bike shop was in NYC, I’d be telling my patients to head his way to pickup a bike that’s gonna get them healthy and be a reliable and fun ride. Definitely a cool bike channel for the n+1 crowd. 10/10

  Most of the comments seem to be that this vid inspired people to do this themselves. For me, it was the opposite. The video was great, but seeing how much he&apos;s assessing the state of things based off his extensive experience made me feel way happier to dish over some dough to my local bike mechanic rather than mastering it all myself 🤣

  One of the biggest things that I&apos;ve learned from this channel is....<br> &quot; Beware the doorknobs in Wisconsin&quot;.

  Commenting because liking on it&apos;s own doesn&apos;t show my appreciation sufficiently

  As a former BMX and road bike racer the best thing you can do if you want to work on your own stuff is to get a bike stand.<br>Preferably one that clamps on your upper or seat bar.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Trying to work on a bike any other way is a major headache.

  I believe that videos like this are YouTube at its very best. Teaching and helping others to learn and grow and be more self reliant instead of just endless wasting hours on mindless content. Thank you so much. Excellent video and resource. From the Gold Coast Australia.
