Default Garage Night - tips on bike maintenance

Thought it was worth sharing this site as a really useful resource for people working on their own bikes.

http://www.garagenight.tv/

The Garage Night crew film themselves discussing and carrying out various maintenance tasks (e.g. changing head bearings, chain & sprockets), and share tips to help do things in the real world, that you just don't get from the Haynes manual!

It's good advice from guys who have ridden and worked on heaps of different bikes, and have a nice laid back approach to life into the bargain.

Very good site, especially as the big KTM is going to be getting a strip down and rebuild over winter...

the bearings fitting was good but really taking a sealed bearing apart and greasing it?

Bearings which are sealed are sealed because it's how they are sold, you don't go unsealing a sealed bearing. Whether they are greased well enough is a different question but you don't go un-sealing bearings.,
