How to Videos

I thought it was a good video. The audio dropped out at one point, and the volume varied a bit.

I like that you showed in detail the entire process of putting the tube in, and how to use the dollar bill, which I've heard of but haven't seen done. I'm also glad you addressed working on the bike upside down.

You probably have this planned already, but I would suggest adding more detail on opening brakes, and that you show different types of brakes. For some reason, as a novice, I found fiddling with the brakes more intimidating than taking the wheel off.

I would also welcome more detail on how to use CO2 cartridges.

I look forward to seeing your future videos.

It would be really helpful to novice cyclists to see how to run the chain through a rag to clean it, and how to "floss" the sprockets. That made a world of difference when someone finally showed me.

I'd just like to say how impressed I am that you managed to do all of that without getting yourself covered in grease. Any time I have to deal with the drivetrain, I end up covered in it, and wind up looking like one of those black and white minstrels!

Overall, the content was really good. RE the use of the CO2, although you described it as a requirement at the start of the video, you never actually demonstrated its use (what PamNY said).

I always have trouble returning the back wheel to the dropouts because I can never seem to get the chain on easily. I'll have to replay that part of the video a few times over to get the drift of it, methinks!
