Chain wear: 0.5% is your replacement line
Past 0.75% and you're shopping for a cassette too.

SHEET 04 · BUILD LOG
Completed work. Real bikes, real changes.
Each entry is a finished consultation. Rider feedback is bolted directly to the build it belongs to.
SHEET 05 · UPGRADE MAP
Before you buy the part — check it against the bike.
An upgrade is only good if it fits the frame, the standard, and the rider. We map every recommendation against your current setup.

SHEET 07 · KNOWLEDGE BASE
Notes from the workbench.
Short technical reads, the kind we'd say out loud during a consultation.
SUSPENSION
Sag before tokens, always
Dial spring rate first — air or coil — then chase ramp-up.
BRAKES
Rotor warp vs. caliper alignment
A truing tool fixes one. A 2 mm allen fixes the other.
TIRES
Tubeless pressure ≠ tubed pressure
Drop 4–6 psi as a starting point. Traction climbs sharply.
SHEET 08 · FIELD NOTES
Recent cycling tips.
Things we keep telling people. So we wrote them down.
TIP · 01
Wipe, lube, wipe. Three steps. One minute. Two-month chain life.
TIP · 02
If your shifting clicks under load — start at the B-tension screw, not the limits.
TIP · 03
Replace bar tape before you replace gloves. Cheaper, bigger comfort gain.
TIP · 04
A spongy lever is almost never the pads. Bleed first.
TIP · 05
Tire pressure is the single most under-tuned variable in cycling.

The dashboard is also the contact panel. Status lights tell you we're a small studio — three weeks old, fully online.

ABOUT · STUDIO BRIEF
Moto Channel Cycles is a young online bicycle consulting studio. We help cyclists make smarter decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and setup — over video, photos, and a straight conversation. We're three weeks old, deliberately small, and built around one idea: a good remote mechanic saves you a trip and a bad part order.
