YouTube channels?

[Adjunct Satyr]

Hi,

does anyone follow any good YouTube channels to do with bike maintenance? New and keen to learn...

They’re obviously aimed at selling us kit but some of the Park Tools ones are clearly presented and well explained.

Thank you. I’m going to collect people’s suggestions and then go from there. You’re the first!

Thank you. Beware that it’s easily possible to spend more time finding a helpful video than it takes to do most jobs.

Search for GCN on YouTube, you’ll be there for hours on maintenance, training, equipment, etc., etc.

Not necessarily... if you subscribe to RJ The Bike Guy he has all his repairs/mods or whatever categorised.

and still not know how to do it if you don't have the Generally Clueless Network's blessed bikes! Park, RJ and Arts are waaaay better.

I'll second RJ The Bike Guy. Seems like a decent bloke too even if he is American 😉

Edit: I'll second the Park Tools vids too but remember there are far cheaper makes of tools out there that do the same job. Park are good tools but IMO unnecessary for the home mechanic unless you REALLY take your fettling seriously 🧐

Thanks guys. This isn’t for any specific jobs... just interested in watching some relevant stuff. Cheers for the recommendations 👍

Park Tool, RJ The bike guy & GCN, Park Tool very detailed with clear explanations of how to do a job, RJ The bike guy is very good with older bikes, GCN are good for all things cycling, even if not full of detail.

The Park Tools ones are very clear and go into great detail. I popped my laptop next to the bike when I first set up the indexing on the back. I was pretty much able to follow the instructions in real time.

Especially all those really important but not directly helpful videos of kittens being funny and cute

Likewise the first time I adjusted some disc brakes.

RJ is great, especially for his conversions and maintenance videos. I believe he’s Canadian actually.

Another who is interesting is MonkeyShred In the U.K. He does restorations on older bikes which involves a lot of maintenance:
