I show the process of upgrading my homebrew cyclocross bike from a 7 speed drive train, up to a 10 speed drive train. I replaced the cassette, rear derailleur, chain, and shifters along with new cables.

Great video & I wish i could do that to my 7 speed Bianchi , just subscribed , can you subcribe back to my channel. thanks

nice! im new sub.. say whats advantageous to having a presto valve instead of a schrader valve on ones tube?

1:17 why on earth would you cut a perfectly functional cable? You can use it for other bikes later! Why would you cut it and make it short / unusable? Waste in my opinion.

Can I use Road Bike Shifters with MTB Rear and Front Mech.
(Eg - Shimano Claris shifters [8speed] with Shimano Tourney 2×8 speed mech.)

Hey RJ, where do you get your parts? Do you get them at a good price? How cheap can you get the parts? General overview like shifters, cranksets, etc.

I am working on my specialized hardrock from the 80's and was wondering if i could upgrade to an 8 speed. It currently has a shimano interactive glide 7 speed cassette, with a freehub about 32 mm long. The hub model is fh-rm40. Do you thing a new 8 speed cassette would work?

I think the lever of your brake is too high for this kind of canti. you can get off closest to the wheel

So to go from a 7 to 10 speed I don't need to change my crankset or bottom bracket?

Another great video.......

the pun was un bear-able

I have a 6 speed Shimano cassette on my 1987 Bianchi. Yes, cassette, not freewheel. It's a 105 Shimano... can I upgrade to a 10 or 11 spd cassette? How can I tell?

OK, I have a 2017 giant atx 2 and I know I am going to need to replace cassette at some time. Is it possible for me to go from 7 speed to 10 or 11 speed. I just wanted to ask as I don't want to purchase items and then have them not able to fit. Thanks in advance!

thumbs up for bear feet!

Dude where u @? do u take business for tuning bikes?

This is probably the best looking bike I have seen you do thus far. Stunning to say the least!

This series was sooooo useful! Thank you for the idea!! Cheers, keep up the good work!

Very handy videos! I've got a '96 Cannondale H300. You've educated me on how I can replace the grip shifters and the cassette. It runs fine as-is but I should replace the original kit because it's so damn old. :)

I am changing my bike from a 7 speed to a 9 should I have any issues

How would you go about reducing from 27 to lets say 21 speed,but still leaving the 27 speed shifters on

Hi RJ. First of all, your videos are awesome! I'm learning a lot from you.
I wanted to ask u something. I am building my road bike from an old chiorda frame. It is almost done, but the freehub is giving me some problems (even though I cleaned it and put new grease as u teach in one of your videos). The rear triangle of the bike was originally 124mm, and I expanded it to 126mm to put a 7v cassette. So, as I can't find a 7v freehub anywere, or it is more expensive than buying an entire new shimano hub, do u think it is possible to expand it to 130mm? So I can put an 8v cassette? I am using shimano claris groupset (just the derraileurs and the bottom crankset).
