1. no thank you love your show and you attitude your cool

2. It"s a presto valve

3. Hi there, did you ever get the motor alignment sorted and engaging with the rear tyre? Did you sell eventually or is it still in the stockpile? Just curious!

4. …..don't those arm cast's really make manual work really easy ?

6. This was the 1st video of musties that I’ve been shouting at the screen trying to tell him what the bits are n where he’s doing things the hardest way 4 years after he made it 🤦‍♂️🛠👍✌️🤣

7. I’ve never said no so much in my life 🤣🤦‍♂️ 🛠✌️

8. Lol bend that spring 🤣 that’ll do o there he goes that’s the way 👍✌️

9. Love it it seems your less comfortable with pushbikes than internal combustion 🤣👍✌️

10. i got a couple of friends that love riding recumbents but for the life of me I don't know why

11. hmm does i need an idler guide for the chain?

12. I had one. It is relaxing and easy to petal, don't need a motor.

13. The light that you use to see better ,what the name of it.

14. You crack me up

15. hey thats a vision r40 series! thats what i ride. though i have a hub motor rear. they are fun, comfortable, fast and smooth bikes!

16. Gotta index the max and min travel on the front deraileur. Should be 2 little set screws on the deraileur itself, should fix the problem. One of those screws is limiting how far the shifter on the handlebar itself is allowed to wind up that cable by physically preventing the deraileur from traveling any further.

17. What ever happened to the recumbent bike and motor?

18. Came for the bike, stayed for the teardown

19. In this case, you may want to consult the doobley doo and try to find a manual for it.

20. Maby that's y they put the motor on it it's an imperfect bike

21. I'm dying to get a recumbent but have never tried it to see if I like it

22. By now you may have found out that Shimano rapid fire shifters seize if not used for some time, the problem is the grease oxidises and stops a tiny pawl from engaging in the ratchet mechanism, the cure is exactly what you did! Shoot it with WD40 or similar and work it free.
    The plastic screw you took out isn’t an oil point, it’s where you change the inner cable without having to dismantle the shifter 😉

23. That small screw on the shifters is just where you open it to thread the shifter cable through

24. Lmao when you said insert joke here while pumping up the tire. Great video

25. Great first attempt riding it made me chuckle keep up the good work matey.

26. Presta valve
