  You should probably add a video about the tools that you keep in your bike, for maintenance "on the go", e.g. to fix a broken chain.

  Another video idea...."So you want to start a mobile bike repair shop....Here's what you need".   Some content about the most profitable services, how to market the services, etc.

  I remember in one video a while ago you talked about wearing gloves, you went on about petroleum products and cognitive decline and the type of people who may or may not understand what a term like that means. Ever since, that moment pops into my head often, and makes me laugh and smile every time. I'm not sure if you intended it but that lives on in my memories as a benchmark of pure comedic genius. As with a lot of the best comedy, I'm not even sure exactly what made it so funny to me. Anyway, thank you Mr. BikeFarmer!

  Wow, Andy I have been a bike mechanic for several years and you have distilled down what is really required to tune up a bike plus a lot of the tricks and shortcuts into <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Cu6LPoeLg&amp;t=717">11:57</a> min. You truly are building the bike community with extremely well done Youtube video productions that are concise and professionally produced. In Canada we do not have access to Harbour freight &nbsp;<br>so I improvise with rag in box, isopropyl alcohol and nitrile gloves from Costco. I use Dawn PowerWash to clean the whole bike and then clean the whole house &nbsp;Lol 😂. Highly encourage every mechanic to use nitrile gloves to prevent harmful chemicals was a mechanic for 45 years. Saluda.

  Haha Dawn Powerwash is not cheaply available here in Australia so I did the research and worked out a recipe for detergent, Isopropyl alcohol, and water. something like Soap: 150g Alcohol 60g and Water: 450g

  The round handle tools are made by Vessel. The quality is excellent.

  Car instant detailer/spray wax is nice, &nbsp;cheaper than bike brand stuff, and odds are its probably the same. A big gallon jug of &nbsp;orange colored Zep degreaser from whatever box store or amazon is very useful to have. &nbsp;I like to use a garden pump sprayer for washing bikes since it produces a soft mist that won&apos;t force water into bearings, and uses very little water which is nice in winter when you don&apos;t have a hose spigot. I.e apartment dwellers. &nbsp;Toilet brushes (only used on a bike) are &nbsp;useful for cleaning grimy drive trains. &nbsp; Some kind of larger, soft brush is nice for knocking dust or dirt off areas like bottom bracket.

  I have had a pair of FELCO cable cutters for over 30 years. Great tool.

  That Power wash is a game changer in the kitchen as well. no need for dishwashers. &nbsp;they should sponsor your channel

  A screwdriver, Phillips, JIS or flat blade, plunged through that warning chime would be my next modification 👍
