  • There are two YouTubes. One is the “creator” YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

    The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I’d no longer need YouTube

    The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that’s the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

    The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube’s lunch



















  • Purely in terms of cost, it will cost you more than 100£ in tools and effort. However if you plan to work on bikes longer term it is worth it.

    You will need a crank puller, hex wrenches, bottom bracket tool adjustable wrench (potentially a cheater bar as well), headset cup remover (bear in mind there are different sizes), plus probably some oils, lubricants etc

    It isn’t massively hard but will take you time. If you plan to do this kind of thing more than once or twice, I strongly recommend doing so because it’s super fun
