Great Vid Mate!...I feel that Zen alright...If I made a similar vid, it'd go for several hours and would feature a scene showing me, concentrating with my tongue sticking out, cleaning my BB with a cotton bud...

rear tire is on backwards

RustyCoyote (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:11)

I gotta agree, similiar idea as Worm-Burner's statement if I made a vid, except every few minutes of the vid would contain bouts of profanity and the throwing of a tool.

Greenwood102 (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:40)

Is that an like an air gun?

mbalcita (Mar 26, 2012 at 17:36)

Nice to see someone else who uses grease as liberally as me, get some stick for it but there's a reason my bike runs silently and nothing ever ceases.. Awesome video

vpfreerider (Jul 21, 2011 at 11:27)

Got all excited when I thought this was a video about maintaining your own trails.. That being said, still a great vid

marshallmullen (Jul 21, 2011 at 12:55)

Sackio (Aug 26, 2011 at 13:39)

hey, guess what? i left my bike covered in mud for about a month out in the alps, and it stayed mint...only problem was some of the mud started to stain! ahaha, You must have a fit when you see dirty bikes

chyu (Sep 12, 2011 at 4:02)

This is masturbating.

toninok (Sep 12, 2011 at 1:50)

Great vid, when i'm gona want to clean my bike, i will see again the vid instead

losieight (Dec 7, 2011 at 23:30)

yao nice video bro! film editing n sounds dope! im a clean freak too.
yao i want to ask u im a newbie, i picked up 08 ironhorse 7.3 DH recently its stock, hardly ridden, good cond, no squeeks or funny sounds at all while riding but i was offered by a bike mechanic friend to do this specific maint. service(since its 08 bike and we bout to hit '12) for $100 to do a few tune up like grease f/r wheel centr hubs, center crank housing/bearings, install new/longer chain and top off front manitau fork shock liquids-------->waste of money or should i invest and go for it? I know maintenance is the key to longevity i work w rc cars n helis now into DH bikes lol but i do basic maintenance cleaning myself ie chain wash re lube, tire psi, brakes adj, etc all thru youtube.
tnx. E.

nouser (Mar 16, 2012 at 16:40)

Do it yourself, its not hard to do if you have proper tools. ive taught myself everything to know after doing it a couple times.

legitninja (Jul 9, 2012 at 19:04)

ya losieeight im 13 and i work at a bike shop all that stuff is nessasry and if you have the tools recomend doing it yourself unless you get stuck bring it in and tell them your on a budget usually they will help you out and event look at youtube videos and see how to do is cheers

stayfortreats (Nov 23, 2011 at 20:49)

Is it wrong i got turned on watching?

Ohiorider6 (Sep 12, 2011 at 19:00)

I wouldn't mind buying this guys used bike!

phil-schaffhauser (Aug 9, 2012 at 21:50)

7 minuets of watching a guy work on his bike, probably one of the coolest videos i have ever seen

hookedondown (Sep 14, 2011 at 19:58)

That was inspirational! The religion of the freerider summed up in one small vid. "Kudos"!!!

bluezac17 (Sep 15, 2011 at 18:15)

is anyone else thinking that bikes lifespan will be forever?

cougar797 (Nov 14, 2011 at 10:54)

Probably, that kind of correct maintenance is the reason that my four and five year old rigs still fill like new and I have no desire to spend money on new ones.

BrandonGreenawalt (Apr 29, 2012 at 19:33)

Same here bro!!

beardeds57 (Sep 11, 2011 at 14:59)

What grease do you use?

marshallmullen (Sep 16, 2011 at 20:07)

Its "Rock n Roll super web grease".

chuckmanbob (Sep 21, 2011 at 23:35)

does the grease you use come in that convenient tube or is that a grease gun, can i asl if it is the former what grease it is please?
very cool vid btw.

marshallmullen (Sep 22, 2011 at 7:28)

no it comes in a normal grease tube, but i put it in syringes to use. And is called rocknroll Super-web grease. thanks for asking!

chuckmanbob (Sep 24, 2011 at 16:53)

definitely going to invest in some of that, do i just need any old syringe ?

adamsheffield (Aug 7, 2012 at 8:16)

Man such a good video mass respect to doing it yourself i think all riders should build and maintain there own i mean mass respect truely

marshallmullen (Aug 7, 2012 at 10:15)

LandoCommando (Sep 16, 2011 at 7:30)

Slopestyle669 (Sep 12, 2011 at 19:33)

I love how I just now got done dialing in my specialized SX and just came home and got on pinkbike and saw this

ricardoPT (Sep 12, 2011 at 14:21)

i feel bad that I cant do that to my bike everytime she needs

nouser (Aug 5, 2012 at 2:41)

and you do this every time you ride down a 30 second hill and do a skid?

jaimejia3 (Sep 11, 2011 at 15:00)

riejuspike (Nov 21, 2011 at 11:07)

riejuspike (Nov 21, 2011 at 11:09)

XiM-Cinema (Apr 14, 2012 at 21:01)

Are you running small block eights on the back tire?

slickback (Feb 29, 2012 at 18:59)

I think you need to try a little harder next time to get your front wheel on faster

BrodieBiking (Feb 2, 2012 at 11:02)

This is the kind of guy you buy a second hand bike off of. Great video!

specializedrider0 (Feb 1, 2012 at 9:55)

Which back tire do you have? Nice bike!

numanuma (Mar 17, 2012 at 9:37)

what kind of grease dude?

raromero20 (Dec 30, 2011 at 23:27)

could u use tht grease on a downhill bike?

Tomothy-DH (Feb 3, 2012 at 1:19)

Yes, yes you could.

GavinTimleck (Dec 10, 2011 at 16:57)

You would be very good at icing a cake...

dbarrett96 (Mar 28, 2012 at 19:23)

This could have been video of the year

stefan-ram (Sep 20, 2011 at 0:58)

dirtjumper787 (Nov 10, 2011 at 10:25)

This makes me want to go home and clean my bike now. haha

stefan-ram (Sep 12, 2011 at 0:32)

finish line teflon grease?

Jolm5259 (Jul 22, 2011 at 20:14)

how often do you have to do this?

DownhillWillSmith (Jul 26, 2011 at 1:58)

where did you get the clear specialized fsr chainstay protector from?

marshallmullen (Jul 26, 2011 at 7:52)

off of a 2011 sx trail.

tylerhallman (Jul 28, 2011 at 21:34)

what kind of lube were you using?

marshallmullen (Jul 29, 2011 at 10:29)

Dumonde tech. Im ecpirimenting with it, but it seems to be really good.

benbiker (Sep 16, 2011 at 17:24)

what is that white stuff, just lubricant? Great Video, now im going to do this stuff to my bike

marshallmullen (Sep 16, 2011 at 20:06)

ya. Its grease.

nhp890 (Oct 14, 2011 at 12:11)

What's your chain? and chain lube?

seraph (Sep 19, 2011 at 13:38)

You missed the part when you're supposed to take off all your drivetrain parts and let them soak in a heated solvent tank for a few hours. Or maybe that's just what I do...

rmx1 (Oct 20, 2011 at 20:11)

he does that, he just didnt film it

slickback (Feb 29, 2012 at 19:00)

Seraph, you are soooo cool.

seraph (Feb 29, 2012 at 20:06)

I know, I don't need you to tell me.

marshallmullen (Oct 14, 2011 at 12:58)

Sram pc 991, and dumonde tech

taffy047 (Sep 19, 2011 at 7:41)

soooo sick man !

Dallll (Feb 8, 2012 at 6:08)

that was very nice!!!

Reagen (Oct 28, 2011 at 16:00)

thats so sick

wyrm (Sep 12, 2011 at 8:59)

Grease on the hub freewheel was also unnecessary.... tighten that sucker down properly. 27-30ft lb to be exact. It will attract dirt and grime.

rmx1 (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:44)

its not unnecessary, but it stops creaking and helps your cassette come off easily when you go to clean it the next time! i think its a fair trade off to attract a little dirt..

erikhall (Dec 24, 2012 at 11:33)

What bike was that?

sergeyzabolotny (Oct 4, 2013 at 9:02)

Very nice vid, man!

danielfleury22 (Sep 11, 2011 at 16:39)

such a sick video, what's the song?

riejuspike (Nov 28, 2011 at 10:04)

leopffm (Oct 16, 2011 at 4:41)

Just a tip:
When assembling the chain guide, don't put the screws on, just put the cranks makings presure, because when you are ridding, and if you hit with the chain guide, you'll brake your frame (i'm talking with my own experience) and then you have to buy a new frame and you can't sell yours. If the chain guide isn't screwd on to the frame it will just move out of place and you don't have to buy yourself a new frame.

Tomothy-DH (Jan 31, 2012 at 14:40)

That seems like a bad idea..

leopffm (Feb 1, 2012 at 7:15) (Below Threshold)

Your choice...

joezboyo (Feb 15, 2012 at 11:38)

I do hope you're joking...

Rattsl (Feb 28, 2012 at 23:56)

Leo, you're retarded. Marshall, props on this man, that was perfect.
