- Today I have a new bike, which is a 2022 Diamondback 5C. We're going to set it up, give it a few customizations, and then shake it down!

The “I need to adjust this” on the wheel reflector got me🤣
Same😂😂😂😂
Same hahahahah
Same
Ah, those things are "fun" to have... By law here we have to have them on to prevent getting a fine from overly bored policemen, so what we do is we clip them on for the ride to the forest, take them off once there and repeat on the way home. Except once I forgot to take them off and one of them managed to hit me in the face when it decided to yeet itself at 45 km/h downhill on a road.
I was hoping he'd throw it
Thanks for featuring the headset caps we made for you! It's an honor to see those on your video and on your bike. Thanks for making such an important contribution to the world of cycling!
Also, we have nearly 100 videos on our channel about framebuilding for anyone who wants to check that out.
Those headset caps look amazing!
Dope
Hey Seth, we need a pin over here!!!!
Here before this comment blows up
You guys did amazing with the PLP topcaps. These Berm Peak ones look just as great.
"Gotta find the hole.. Gets easier with experience" - I see what you did there Seth!
He has a child
Soooo ig that’s true
Bro what
“Hey Seth, you want a new $6000 bike?” “…meh”
Every bike builder knows that taking off the packing is the longest part of build 😂
So many goddam zip ties
@@JFFilmsMTB it was packing tape for me
I agree
i spend most of my time building giants and state bikes. a transition takes no time at all but pivot and santa cruz also take ages.
Every time I see you do a tubeless conversion/anything tubeless related I remember the great explosion from a while back where there was just sealant everywhere. It kinda looked like you also had that in mind in this video. Classic. Even Oscar looked a little nervous. Bright color bike... at least its not yellow. 👍
Yellow is better
@@lvpheno7025 then I suppose you enjoy pineapple o your pizza as well...
@@WestCoastMountainBiker I do!!!
@@schwuzi 🤣🤣
Touché. I'm sorry. There is an on going debate about people who enjoy pineapple on their pizza and those who don't. I used this to relate to the color yellow. Just not a fan. Don't get met wrong. Orange is not much better. But in this case it doesn't look too bad.
@@WestCoastMountainBiker pineapple DOES NOT belong on pizza. sweet corn does. orange on bikes don't work. unless its fox orange, that looks amazing
The wireless GX shifting is amazing man. You can dial everything in so perfectly using the app it’s pretty incredible. Can’t recommend it enough.
Is it worth buying if i don't do barspins?
@@buildduje absolutely. Mine has changed my riding 100% and will NEVER go back. (Unless the grid fails and the world ends)
Yeah until you go to a race with 100 other bikes running AXS systems and you experience interference or SRAMs “self change” feature (read bug 🐛)
For you - might be. For some people having a robust drivetrain that will last 20 years with minimal maintanance is a must.
@@stilianivanov3377 there is not a cassette, chainring, or derailleur on the planet that would last 20 years of mountain biking.
I like how honest he is. "I don't need a new bike because my old one is perfect and dialed but I guess the contract says I need a new bike in a new color so here we go."
Works well for the company too, he's saying the bikes last which is what we wanna hear
@@estefano9e definitely!
Seth really knows berm peak like the back of his house
🤣
I know, he rides there so much it's like he lives there!
How much riding before you can master a course like that?
Gotta say big fan of the Orange! seems like a good build kit from Diamondback as well. Would love to see the old bike be given to someone deserving again. That is always awesome.
Lets give Seth some time. He is still in love with his 'old' bike 😅 and is almost forced to say goodbye to hours and hours of fun with it and start a New relationship. It takes some time 🤣
Maybe people will think my bike is a better model than it is now. My Diamondback Atroz 3 from a few years ago is the same color so hopefully I can get mistaken as someone who can afford a 5C
Seth be having a PTSD when pumping the tire.
Never forget, "The great sealant massacre of 2020"
Cheap ass pro-tip: Those giant zip ties that come with new bike packaging are so big, it's super easy to release the lock with a screwdriver and then you can reuse them again for something else. Giant zip ties do come in really handy. I used the ones that came on my Santa Cruz for years to attach my light batteries to my frame :)
I use that to secure loose cables 😎
@@Sebfish I used zip ties to hold cables to the frame on my 1980's road bike and from it sitting outside for a few years unprotected they snapped easily while I was replacing the derailers.
Great bike dude!! The colour looks amazing and can't really complain about the old one too can't hate a blue/black matte frame!! Merry Christmas Seth🎅🎅 the top cap looks amazing too!! The bike's looking great and about your bruse it does look bad but how did you ride soo good with such a bruise you are a legend!!
I remember the first time I got my bike like it was yesterday. It’s always nice to see a brand new bike shiny and clean until you take it through a mud bath😂.
Looks great! Is the weight comparable to the older unit? I have those suspension components on my ride, and it didn't take as long as I thought it would to set up. Plus, adjustments for terrain changes is quick. (cuz you know what you want and you just dial it) Color is great. Lots of bright LOOK AT ME colors are the norm now! Be safe!
An orange frame in the quiver is a must!!!
You should turn your old bike into a slopeduro (yup, that's a thing now) single speed rig!
I love this!!
@@BermPeakExpress All your bikes are so sick Seth lovin the videos always keeping up to date even though I don't bike anymore due to being homeless at 19 and have just got of the streets and currently living in a hostel ,I'd love to get back into biking but I'm just struggling financially so bad rn and can't work due to injury on my back but anyway keep up the good work and keeping me and many others great entertainment
THE B-ROLL IS INSANE. LOOKS SO GOOD!
I really hope you frame up or put up that old bike for display in the garage. Its the legendary Drama. We miss him and will never forget that cute ol pup!
Watching this video and realizing I'm wearing the same shirt as Seth because my wife got it for me for Christmas was super fun :)
Hey Seth! Love your videos.Helped so much during quarantine.😄😁
I love the brighter colors on your bike! personally, i ride a darker orange bike, and i love it!
When the music cuts on the first run with the bike, the suspense is so masterful on this channel - it happens every now and then that when the music stops, someone gets hurt. I’m glad that wasn’t this time.
That head-mounted GoPro angle really conveys the sketchiness of Berm Peak.
thank you for not saying "Marocchi IS Fox" like last time. you said it correctly, "Marzocchi is made by Fox". Good to see you saw my comment from last time
Man I wish I had that “old” bike lol
Would be cool if Diamondback would make something new...but kind of different. At least update the Geo numbers to today's standards.
hi Seth I'm from the Philippines i enjoy watching your videos. i love mountain biking and your videos are so informative on the type of bikes to build depending on your riding style. I'm just a beginner and i don't intend to do hardcore biking, biking is more of a hobby and exercise for me. keep up and ride safe.
New bike looks awesome.
Merry Christmas and Happy New y
Year to all at Berm Peak
I like when you do head cam video through that trail you should do a head cam video through all of your trails some time
love the orange, like my friend Kerry's Banshee.
Looks like a beautiful bike, I ordered a fezzari delano a couple months ago and this is very similar, but I would never even consider the 5c for 1 reason: Diamondback’s peculiar “internal cable phobia”
Dream bike, thanks for doing this video. Look forward to seeing some new content with it
“I gotta find the whole, it gets easier with experience “ -Seth 2021
In my opinion Wheel revlectors are the weirdest thing in the bike world your so cool Seth you are the one that got me into mountain bikeing ci hope to see you out on the trails
New bike😍 Love these kind of vids👍
Yeah too
Those brakes came on my evil wreckoning. They are terrifying!
Thats a good way to celebrate christmas
Merry Christmas to you all🎄🎄🎄
New bike looks amazing dude! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 🤘🏽🎅🏼
Make cross marks on the bridge with a chainsaw to give it grip
Love the new ride ! If you have issue storing the old one I have plenty of space. 😉
I never liked orange bikes but DAMN that looks good
Neon color frames with everything else black always works well on mountain bikes
That matte black bike is pretty sick though.
Props for excellence in editing when matching the air compressor with the audio track at 5:06. Love these vids! 🤙
Like how he can talk and consentrating on riding
Damn it Seth! I always get my hopes up that you'll be doing something different when you say so at the beginning of the video...only to be immediately let down by you telling me that it's actually kinda the same. Damn it! I fall for it each time! Doh!!!
Love the color can’t wait to get out on my bike.
I love new bike day, and I love the flip bike series
Those stemcaps are 🔥!
Hey Seth! Great video. That new colour is awesome. Also its really cool that the logo on the head tube is black not white and it looks much better.
Have a suggestion for where to drive your KC cars... at Summersville Lake in WV... the Dam has been drained and all the rock is exposed. You should check it out
Whenever i see people struggling with removing stickers i just gotta come and say: Use lighter fluid to melt the glue.
Just soak the sticker in it, peel it off and clean the area with a rag
Works on anything from vinyl record sleeves, comicbooks and movie cases to glass, metal and plastic without damaging the art or paint underneath
I learned this trick from my local smoke shop😆
Thanks, gotta try that. I have a sticker that needs removing 😅
Gotta talk to my diamond bike rep and see if we can get a couple sent to the shop here in Louisville. Loving the color 💕
Here are a few upgrades I thought of:
Fox Float DPX2 to Float X (much better for trail riding)
Alloy Truvativ crank to carbon crank (like the Truvativ Descendant Carbon)
SRAM AXS drivetrain (which was mentioned in the video). Either GX or X01, but with an X01 or XX1 cassette (apparently the GX cassettes develop noise problems over time, and also the X01/XX1 ones last longer).
Welp, start of 2022 and my dads dropper post broke, safe to say his year isnt starting off with a bang
Seth.. i highly recommend you to research on Marzocchi history... was one of the pioneers of the suspensions field and one of the greatest before even Fox was born...
Black bikes are a bit safe I'm glad you have some colour in your life now
on one end you have Seth who gets at least once in the year a new bike, and on the other is someone like me who cant afford to itself not even a kids bike, so im left with only dreams about such a nice bike like this one, so i do, i dream to have a nice full suspension bike with all the nice stuff
I reckon you should just fix the new bridge and angle it out a bit more. You know it will ride better at speed if you do.
2:54 my guy you and your bike go on your separate ways bruised leg is the best case scenario lmao
"Its easier with experience" I giggled a little lol
Have you seen those flo unbreakable brake levers they look pretty cool and more importantly come in a lot of different colors.
New bike is awesome ! Can’t say the same for the color. 😬 not a fan of orange, my first real bike was a 2018 roscoe 8, love the bike, hate the color. Changed it first chance I got 😎
Hey Seth,I really enjoy your content and I think a really good touch is for you to buy a dirtbike they are the same as maintain bikes but a little faster
Do a give away or parts bin upgrade with your old bike.
Someday I wanna get a diamondback
Is it just me or does this bike remind anyone else of the Diamondback Hook he gave to Lisa for the How to Get into Mountain Biking series he made back when he lived in Florida.
@4.35 love it!🤣🤣🤣
Merry Christmas Seth guess you got your present early, for me I have never ridden Release 5c or any high end Diamondback, and ordered a Marin San Quentin 2 Size L bike a decent one. I have never have a bike with Sram Brakes never will run one specific preference, Shimano I will run on my bikes, and one question for Seth "I have an 11-speed Sunrace 11-51 Cassette that is hard to remove used a chain whip, lock ring on a Shimano Fh-Mt400-B took it to a bike shop they recommend to wear the cassette out + Shimano version 11 speed."
He is Jewish
Gotta find the hole
*gets easier with experience*
I’m super curious about your bike weights compared. Your black vs Orange versions.
You're the reason i got a bike🥰
If I had as many stickers I said seth they would be on every bike of mine lol
Yep. Totally different.
DIAMONDBACK is amazing at making the best product ever........ TOILET PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE THATS ALL THERE GOOD FOR IS WIPING UP SHIT AND Rubbing ASS ALL OVER IT!!!!!!! BUT AS FAR AS BUILDING A GREAT BIKE... WALMART COULD DO BETTER
"Little smoother now" he says as he's riding over the rocks lol
Such a good rider!! Nice thing is if you don't like that rear air shock you can always swap it out of your old coil.
Do a uk giveaway with your old bike or add a kit to make it an EMTB 🤩
Good thing that tubeless setup didn't blow up like the last time 🤣
Size Large - 483 mm seattube ? 451 mm reach ?? 66° HTA??? 73° STA ???? What is this, 2017 ?
Diamondback frames have come a long way. Glad to see them back in the fray and there's no denying that you've helped them get alot of exposure. They were a boutique brand back in the 80's when I used to ride BMX (these brands didn't embrace the MTB revolution: Skyway, CW, Mongoose, Redline, Haro) although Mongoose is making strides. Would love to see DB and Mongoose grab some markethshare by lowering prices on high end bikes. Good looking ride BTW
Hey Seth! I'm a big fan and was wondering if you can share your GoPro settings with us because I am struggling to find good mtb settings for my new hero 10! Thanks!
Build a fat guy bike. As in, a bike that can be used by a big guy. Like 300+ lbs. There's bound to be challenges building a bike strong enough for people that size or bigger.
Seth: "Are we forgeting anything? Seat.. seatpost.. uhh.. Looks like a bike... (devastated look) I forgot stickers!"
Me: *Dying of laughter*
hey man im dreaming havine a full suspension. I hope I’ll get one soon.
Just a suggestion for the “old” bike. Maybe you can single speed it and make it able to barspin. Similar to what you did with the murder machine
You probably forget to clean manufacture lube chain an put the new one 😀
Idk ima bit wird keep the good work up bud
You need blue grips and Blue Suspension decals
"Marzocchi is just the affordable version of Fox".
Makes me sad, I still regularly ride an original Z1 from 1997 and it was the ducks nuts. I still haven't found a fork I love as much.
Hay kids, wanna put sealant in tyre risk free?
1- Pop tyre onto bead 1st
2- take out valve stem
3- fill with sealant via valve
4- refit valve stem
5- inflate with no risk of tyre popping off rim.
Instead of the trp or sram breaks, why not try some hope tech 3 e4 they are sick 100 percent recommend
5:06 was just perfect timing
I'm glad you talked about this, I always love seeing new bikes and you set them up!
Get them levers in order
Hey Seth, I recently bought a new trail bike and I’m having trouble setting it up and am looking for some suggestions do you mind doing a full bike setup/bike check video on things like suspension sag, cockpit setup, and tire pressure. Thanks for the amazing video!
orange suits u
You've got to find the hole... it gets easier with experience."
Me when watching: Ok makes sense
Me abt 5 mins later: *wait*
Good to see he listened to me and is now saying "Marzocchi is made by Fox" instead of "Marzocchi IS Fox" like last time
Hey Seth since you like doing 180s and 360s on your mountain bikes i think you should use your old bike and build it as a slopeduro bike single speed.
me watching this video with a 150 dollar mountain bike and still hitting the trails😂😂
