The first time I watched this video when it came out I thought it was awesome, but after building 3 bike since then and working at a bike shop for a year, my appreciation for the jokes and whole video in general is through the roof. Thanks Seth for everything you do dude.
I like the blue pedals! The bike is soooooo nice!!! I'm 13 and started watching your videos in the winter, but now I hit 15 foot gaps on a downhill bike I bought used for $400. Thanks for making your videos, they always inspire me!
ChrisDaFish ... Yeah I like em too. I thought maybe it was an inside joke I didn't know about it something, but they add character and style. Bike looks sick.
You are fortunate to have so many good sponsors. and I say it for the pleasure of assembling a bicycle. cut, grease tighten screws precise adjustments etc. It is a unique feeling!
Because Slime is his sponsor so if he tries it and it works then people would just buy this and not the one that's intended for bikes and Seth's is going to ruin their business.
Man. I have casually passed your channel in the past, but lately I've been really hooked. I'm the same age as you, and I spent most of my first 20some years on the planet strapped to a mtb. My last good dirt bike was a 2000 GF Piranha; hardtail, no forks, no nothing. Rode it until I cracked the rear stays at the crank. Lots of big drops and way too many hard miles. Picked up a street cruiser for commuting and up until I had my kids, I was still putting a few thousand km a summer on my bike. I've been itching to get back on dirt, and this channel is(n't) helping. Love the content, and the delivery. You're reigniting my passion.
Agreed. I'm not a fan of the pedals as it sits but with some other blue accents I could get on board with them. I love anodized blue too so maybe a blue stem, seat clamp or even a blue seat.
Diamondback Bicycles Hey diamondback want to hook me up with a bike that doesn't break every other week like my giant atx, if not I'll by building up one of your frames with in the next two years. Btw I would put a big billboard in my yard if I got a good bike. Thanks if you read this keep building great bikes.
Hello my name is Charlie can you hook me up with some stuff from Kent to Coventry I would like a bike for down hill biking and bunny hops one suitable for 10 or 11 year olds thank you your sisterly charlie ps I think you have done great on every single bike well done please hook me up I love your bikes I only go to mike vaunts cycles i like there bikes to but I would really appreciate if you do what I have asked you I am not saying to do this but I would love it if you did a hard tail would be good 👍👍😀😀
Although some might object on aesthetic grounds... I like the blue pedals. First, black would just be TOO matchy-matchy. I also think it adds a touch of personality. But on the utility side of things... it makes sense for the pedals to be bright and contrast with other colors in use. When the ground is moving by pretty fast or you’re in the air and the landing is coming but your feet are off the pedals it is easier to find your footing with your peripheral vision or with just a quick glance.
The Blue petals worked with the Blue dust cap on the old forks but now with the new all black forks it really clashes. Make it an all black bike or introduce some blue cable ends.
the great sealant massacre has got to be one of the funniest moments too, the tire explosion sounds like a bomb going off. There's some trails by my Grandparents house so when I was little (like 8) I'd ride them on their dollar store bikes they got for us. I needed some air in my tire so my grandpa put some air in my tire and as I was biking up the road to the trail head my tire blew up because he put to much air in my tire so I know first hand how Seth felt during that time.
I've heard said many times that air springs have "stiction", meaning they need a little more force to start moving, while coil springs don't have this. Air springs are popular because they are lighter and much easier to adjust.
That would sound reasonable, because air forks have like an additional piston to substitute spring. And additional piston means additional friction. BUT. Air fork has progression, meaning you can give it slightly more SAG (thus plushness) without the risk of bottoming out.
Oh, but both have stiction (coming from dustcaps), but air fork would have additional stiction from air spring, which is basically a piston filled with air.
With the colors and the sleek looks, this looks like something TRON would ride. As the owner of a black hardtail with blue flat pedals, I approve. I wanna see you spill some tofu with this monster gal, Seth!
1) I LOVE the blue pedals. It adds a bit of WOO to the all black. I was strongly considering selling my HT, but then I took it out again this weekend and fell in love all over again. It will stay in my quiver for good.
GEO ... Yeah they're really fun. Too many wimps out there that don't know how to send it. FS bikes definitely have their place, but more times than people give em credit for, HTs can really rip.
used to live on a bike when I was younger. looking into getting a hardtail and stumbled on your videos. great content informative and easy to watch! thanks!
Hey Seth, nice channel I really like how your way of doing stuff!! I just started this year and was wondering if you know where I could find a lefty 11 speeds gear shifter. I am born with only my left hand, hence it would be convenient haha! Thanks!
But then your hands will be equally wet from your own perspiration and nowhere for the sweat to drain or be absorbed... You're just making it hot and moist instead of cool and damp. I choose the rain water.
why can't manufacturers make a glove thats waterproof with good ventilation. I'd pay 10 bucks if i saw a pair like that, and i usually pay a dollar at most
I’m sorry for your loss bro. I’ve lost friends on deployments and all we can do is live our lives in a way to honor the ones we care about and appreciate them while we are here.

I think the pedals add a pop of color to it; call it the Bruiser!
digitalrailroader I like that!
I agree, keep the blue pedals!
But perhaps some other equally blue details would be much nicer
Seth's Bike Hacks add some other blue parts to it like a blue cable and and blue zip ties.
I like them just need to add a couple more blue accent parts
I swear I’ve watched this about 15 times
same i do not know why
Same
Same , 5th time
the thumbnail is so catchy
Same
You are one damn good brand ambassador for Diamondback.
i bought a diamond back because of seth
Same I have a sync'r pro
Yep, my next bike will most likely be a Diamondback because of him. Probably an Atroz 3.
ZIGGY same-bought the Line in xl
I like Seth's videos but I like GT bikes
The Fox 36 looked better with the gold chain.
Jesus Gamito not necessary, i have a 170mm grip 2 36 Factory, and i would love to give that ribbon a try
Jesus Gamito thats ribbon seems very good for tech trails and staying on the ground
Yeah the fox 36 looks cool
It will even perform better
You need to have a Kashima coat on them tho if you want them to look good
"This is a swytch bike"
"This is a swytch bike"
*skip ad*
"This is Diamondback's new hardtail"
*much better*
I got that ad on the pedal pub climb video lol
i get it on almost all
so true "this is a swicht bike"
haha i see u
Yes i just got that add
Sweet looking machine!
hey bkxc love ur channel and Seth's
I like the blue pedals
Bkxc you need a Hard Tail your not really sending it on the full suspension.
What a nice bike. I loved it.
Maybe my channel will go great
The Blue pedals are DOPE
Ayy
Blue pedals are dope!
Aayush Parmar is a good day
White lookd better then blue

I like the blue pedals! The bike is soooooo nice!!! I'm 13 and started watching your videos in the winter, but now I hit 15 foot gaps on a downhill bike I bought used for $400. Thanks for making your videos, they always inspire me!
Send it till you break it!
ChrisDaFish ... Yeah I like em too. I thought maybe it was an inside joke I didn't know about it something, but they add character and style. Bike looks sick.
that's sick i started the same way, bought a used $300 Kona Stinky downhill bike. what bike did you get?
Johc Loch Thats awesome. I bought a used 2011 mongoose boot r foreman downhill bike.
Only a 13yo would like those pedals
Blue pedals look sick
B Kaniecki They make me want to BE sick.
I am sick. Literally
Idk if he put blue grips on it too it would be kind of dope
iHyperpixel I’m sick too lol
Sick as well, ihyperpixel you are causing a virus (jk)
woo hoo Seth! I've been refreshing the page for your vids to drop..haha
You are fortunate to have so many good sponsors. and I say it for the pleasure of assembling a bicycle. cut, grease tighten screws precise adjustments etc. It is a unique feeling!
since everyone asks about the slime sealant at auto shops, why not do a test using *that* slime sealant instead of the bike sealant?
And call it a “Hack”
I don't think that it would hold air.....
EviLTyres no no don’t do that one of my dads friends didn’t realize he was using slime tube sealant then it defected his maxxis tires
Because Slime is his sponsor so if he tries it and it works then people would just buy this and not the one that's intended for bikes and Seth's is going to ruin their business.
@@trabi0582 tubeless tires dont need sealant to hold air, its really just there to seal punctures and the occasional tire imperfections
The blue pedals could use some blue grips and maybe a blue seat to even the palette out.
NAh leave o my blue pedal
BEYOND MAD yes that would look GREAT
BEYOND MAD you sir have good taste
You are my fav TH-camr
I agree
To me the blue pedals seem better than what black pedals would look. I like the color pallet and how it has been used.
Do a video on a beginner bike that you make, and make a series on how to take care of it. It would help anyone trying to get into biking.
Just watch all his videos waterhead
@@Alejandro-vb2fx dang bro. Ice it.
I too would like to see a budget build, maybe utilize a Co-Op DRT1.1. Id be interested in your thoughts on that bike.
Jake Miller yes please
The kashima coat looked sooo good!
But but but... your not ssupposed to use a drill. Had me dead 👌 I love Seth's sense of humor
MTB Shredder Same... and I use the exact same method 😂
I be been guilty too for doing that
I have*
MTB Shredder It’s like, a thousand times quicker! And anyway, we have the backing of the Hackmaster himself... and Seth’s always right...... right? 🤔
IRON H34RT221 You are right 😏
Seths needs to make another bike, these videos are so good
Came back to this vid 5x already, still can’t get over her beauty.
I’ve watched this video more than a few times to say the least and still enjoy seeing this build. I’d really love to get a hard tail some day.
u dont have one??????
This is one of my favorite videos ever, you should do more bike builds like this, great job!

As usual, entertaining and informative...nice coverage.
this is my 5th time watching this and I'm still mesmerized keep it up Seth
Wish i could experience new bike day more than once
I love my hardtail!
I even have blue Chesters on mine!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Put blue details like blue grips and bottle cages
Agreed. I'm not a fan of the pedals as it sits but with some other blue accents I could get on board with them. I love anodized blue too so maybe a blue stem, seat clamp or even a blue seat.
Would have been nice to know the final cost and weight of this bike :)

Seth please build a DH bike. Like if you agree.
Thanks
Diamondback don't have downhill bikes and he only rides diamondback because they are his sponsor
Mateo Smereciuc
Um, diamondback DH8?
He has been getting bigger and bigger air. I think it’s only a matter of time.

Exactly why I have blue raceface pedals on my black hardtail
this is my favorite video on the channel
Idk if its only me but your voice is so relaxing and that makes me watch the whole video
The Blue petals worked with the Blue dust cap on the old forks but now with the new all black forks it really clashes. Make it an all black bike or introduce some blue cable ends.
Yellowpole
Blue cable ends and blue grips. It'll be wicked.
some men just want to watch the world burn.
Blue spokes lol
2:31 “nothing’s gonna explode it’ll be fine”
Great sealant massacre of 2020 has joined the chat
Was going to 👍 but I realized I already did a some point in history 😂
Wasn't that a sync'r also?
@@peter_verduin nah, it's a full suspension on the explosion
the great sealant massacre has got to be one of the funniest moments too, the tire explosion sounds like a bomb going off.

ah yes. the "oh god oh god" technique. Use it every day.
Same if you respond I will subscribe to you
Hard-tails look so good, cause their clean and simple.
Who’s watching during quarantine looking at Seths mask like dude imagine how much that would sell for!
*_Who else has a hard tail!?_*
Me
Thas what she said jk i doo
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge buying one tomorrow
2 hardtail w full auspentiob
Even me...I have a hardtail
I dont know how many times I have seen this video again and again for no reason. It shows up in my you tube page every time.and i start watching ..
Park Tool has probably already arranged a shipment of the right bottom bracket tool for you Seth 😂
D MTB yep, and probably a crown race set tool
Add to the list a straight tube cutting tool for bars..lol!
KSMTB
a pipe cutter works very well.
Yeah true. My comment was referring to cutting the bars by hacksaw freehand lol
I like how he says use a specific amount of sealant and then he just pours a bunch in
He didn't specify amount, just type.
Also the amount of times he has pour sealant how probably knows it by heart
I watched this 6 times idk why 😂
Hey Seth, is there a particular reason you went with the Coil version of the MRP ribbon?? Please like so Seth can see
I would assume more plushness
Skräcken Really? I feel air would be more plush than coil and the more fine tuning you can do with an air fork
I've heard said many times that air springs have "stiction", meaning they need a little more force to start moving, while coil springs don't have this. Air springs are popular because they are lighter and much easier to adjust.
That would sound reasonable, because air forks have like an additional piston to substitute spring. And additional piston means additional friction. BUT. Air fork has progression, meaning you can give it slightly more SAG (thus plushness) without the risk of bottoming out.
Oh, but both have stiction (coming from dustcaps), but air fork would have additional stiction from air spring, which is basically a piston filled with air.
Love the blue pedals. Gives it a nice accent!!
Blue pedals , blue stem , blue seat post clamp and blue grips would look awesome
Justgo 403 i reckon that would be a bit too much blue. but i could DEFINITELY see how it could look good
Maybe the blue grips was a bit far
No
Seth: so I got it reduced to 140mm
Downhill rider: bu but... Why would you want less travel ?
Xc rider: bu but... Why didn't you reduce more ?
Enduro riders: why didn't he keep it the same?
Trail riders: now that's more like it
Roadies: "What's a suspension?"
bmxer's: pfft i can do all that with no suspension
Dirtjumpers: "Can you get big air with that?"
Unicyclists: "why does this have two wheels???"
Hikers: " -.- "
With the colors and the sleek looks, this looks like something TRON would ride. As the owner of a black hardtail with blue flat pedals, I approve. I wanna see you spill some tofu with this monster gal, Seth!

If you have any other name suggestions, please reply!

Needs a breakfast sticker then.
Blue Footed Booby
its a real bird, by the way

My real question is Seth, How do you not have 5 million subscribers???
MTB Shredder s znsmmaqzmammswcjggn🛂🛄🛅🛃🚤🛄🚶🚼🔟⏹🚺🚹🚣⛓🚫🛇🚫🛇🛃
The market of mountain bike enthusiasts just isn't that high. He's done pretty good for himself to get 1 million.
MTB Shredder no how does he not have 10mil subs
Man he has 1M subs
U must of said milliards
As much as I love watching your videos, I just finally realized what else drew me in was your taste in background music! Seriously!!
When seth said that he loves Mexican food
Who knew that his commitment has even turned to a wheel stand 😂
I don’t know why this is so satisfying but this has to be one of my favorite videos from Seth ever
Long live the hard tail!!!! I would love a close up review of the ribbon fork!
GEO ... Yeah they're really fun. Too many wimps out there that don't know how to send it. FS bikes definitely have their place, but more times than people give em credit for, HTs can really rip.
Mike T Agree. Theres a bunch of pluses. Less maint. and riding technique are my pros.
I just got a new bike and have watched all your cheap bike hack videos thanks seth thay were really helpful 🚵♂️😀
Now, that's a proper Seth's video!
Deuteross 3ed time
torque down 6 bolts in a star pattern......
Purposefully sought out that comment.
Same I didn’t know for sure if that applies to bikes I learned it from Chris fix and just do it on everything
Unless your a pro it doesn't really matter aslong as you don't stupidly botch it
Blake Rothe ayyy
Blake Rothe heeeey, chris fix here... haha
"According to my safety enthusiasts" XD

Don't tell me your wheel is now
TACOED!
As you see, there's a pimentaco taped to the handlebars just for you.

what a bad pun
I like them just need to add a couple more blue accent parts
Mike Cunningham yeah the peddles look out Of place
I agree, swap the bottle cage and the grips for some blue ones like the pedals and I think it would look good.

Most concise bike build I've ever watched.
Raceface Chesters for 20 Months.... Still 💯💯
Not to be that guy but your supposed Torque the brake bolts in diagonally
since we're being pedantic you are (you're) not your
lechprotean Since we’re all being ridiculous, you forgot to use capitalization and punctuation.
"not to be that guy"
My words
AND ALSO ITS SUPPOSED TO BE "you're supposed to Torque the brake bolts in diagonally'
Blue pedals, blue grips and blue seat would look so good I think
That would look ugly. Blue pedals only looks fine.
I think it would have looked nice with blue pedals and grips but a black seat
I’ve probably seen this 50 times and still enjoy it as much as the first time
i much rather the fox colour suspension and i actually would rather the bike have silver pedals
HHMTB OFFICIAL well then build one the way you want. Seth built his the way he wanted. See how that works !
Why are there 99 dislikes? this video is awesome!
RideAllegretto people are jealous of his bike
that's a good point
Make that 265
Australians
make that 295
I think they’re fine they The color contrast is quite nice
Blue pedals are sick!
Seth! I have an idea for a hack, when its raining out, put rubber gloves under your riding gloves and boom no more wet hands!
But then your hands will be equally wet from your own perspiration and nowhere for the sweat to drain or be absorbed... You're just making it hot and moist instead of cool and damp. I choose the rain water.
why can't manufacturers make a glove thats waterproof with good ventilation. I'd pay 10 bucks if i saw a pair like that, and i usually pay a dollar at most
get gold pedals! i feel matte black and gold goes together so well. what do you think of that?
That would be sick.
No
Or white
i reckon the gold would of gone better if the fox 36 forks were still on it
No
Siiiick!
I keep rewatching this video.
It never gets old.
The moment I realised that Seth got a better fork on his hardtail than I have on my fully 😂😂😂 (my bike is a Cube Stereo 140 HPC Race)
The pedals went well with the compression dials on the fox fork
I have watched this video like 20 times in the past 2 years.
Frfr
I watch it almost every week
*What's the weight of the whole bike now?*
JasiX23 -5 grams
JasiX23 asking the real questions
YES IM SO HAPPY BEST VIDEO
Some gem comments in there. Very funny!
Just discovered Seth. It's the voice that does it for me. So soothing and satisfying
Good vid!
Is the fork on backwards?
nope, that’s just the way the MRP Ribbon looks. You get less mud in it that way.
Seth's Bike Hacks thanks for the clarification, keep up the awesome content man!
Haha I was thinking that too
That's a genius design
Omg lol
i think you should have one pedal blue and the other yellow!
I’m sorry for your loss bro. I’ve lost friends on deployments and all we can do is live our lives in a way to honor the ones we care about and appreciate them while we are here.
I'm really looking to know what your thoughts on the Ribbon coil vs air.Can you please elaborate a bit further on that in the future?Tks.
