Firstly I'll never take your tips on how to fit front forks I could see Doddy falling off his perch if he saw that anyway that's one awesome looking bike you got their what's the head angle on that beast great video Sam cheers 🍻
one side of the fork is the spring (air or coil), the other side, wich is the one that moved, is the hydrolic side, to ajust rebound, compresion... hope that helps!! by the way, what will you do with that suntour fork? i could do with a new one ;)
Sam, the left side of the fork "works" because that's the side the air spring is in. The damper assembly is in the right side, that's why it doesn't spring back, there's no spring in it. The left side is basically the spring and the right side controls how fast the forks can move up and down. Btw your star nut it definitely crooked...
This man is so successful because he knows no boundaries, finds joy in everything in life, ignores the negative! You can’t help but admire him. When I first saw Sam Pilgrim I started to not take him seriously, but there are a lot of levels to him he doesn’t make apparent. You realize very quickly that he’s very committed. Don’t let his humor or irreverence fool you, theres a lot more than meets the 👀! No I’ve never met him but I can see a this in his videos and what I have read and seen over the years. It’s apparent.
I love how you do everything like any other guy would that doesn't have the money for the right tools! I know you do, but most people don't, awesomely hilarious video!
I love watching these bike build videos because that’s more or less how I put new (used) parts on my bike because I can’t afford tools (chooses to buy parts instead)
5:25. The right leg of the fork (on any fork except for leftys) won't have any resistance because it's the compression and rebound leg. The left leg will have resistance because it's the air/spring leg.
Only need one tool, the shovel, from trail building to installing precision factory forks...genius haha Only flaw is the long handle hanging out of your saddle bag lol
Hello my name is robert, I am from Romania I follow you for 1 year what you do and I appreciate your effort put team seen as you jumped to the canyon on the television. I have a very old DHS bike that I received on my birthday. Mias really wants to have a bike like you so I can film to show the world what I can do. Dreams can become a reality, even you submitted to the show in 2015. The final cup. Congratulations on everything you really deserve and I hope that I can show you what I know to the world (peace)
I've seen him install multiple of these forks, so I finally decide to check out how much they actually cost. The fork itself is around $2000. Seeing him "sand" down the steerer tube on the ground/curb is so much more painful to watch now.
OMG DUDE! I love your videos but you're never EVER working on my bike HAHAHAHAHA! You're a prime example why bike shops will always be in business. That being said, looking forward to you rocking this bike and all the other Haibikes!!
I wish I had a mountain like that. I’ve always dreamed of having a mountain bike that is so nice like yours Sam! But unfortunately my family doesn’t want to spend so much. So I’ll just have to do with my cheap bike
Really nice to see you riding Haibikes. Im getting my first haibike end of this month, I can barely wait. XDURO Allmtn 9.0, hope its worth the money and the wait. And btw, Im a MTB beginner, lol. Was riding a Fatbike commuter till now (Radhrino), but that thing is just a tank and can barely lift off the ground and is not fun on trails. It doesnt help that Im 250 pounds either I guess. Wanted to go for a real MTB and fell in love with the Allmtn 9.0 at first sight.
Damn! nice bike! I have the cheapest bike that can barely get upgrades because of budget and yet I put a blanket on it just not to get a scratch and hear you are hammering down an expensive bike with a shovel and sanding it in pavements! damn. life is indeed not fair. love that sense of humor man. hehehe! thats why Im a fan.
I have never cried with laughter watching someone do basic bike mechanics so terribly. Love you Sam, I can't breathe!
Oh my gawd.... £1800 fork fitted using a dirty shovel. It's like a horror film lol.
J4M35 DOC his a savage lol
LMFAO
That's what happens when you get things for free lol
By the way the Fork is 2400£
@@andrehartmann454 no it isn't lmfao, you can get it for 1000£
Sam pilgrim tool kit coming soon. Includes hammer,spade,pipe cutter, allen key and a monster hat
Damien Perrin 🤣🤣 good one 🤘🏻
U forgot the sandpaper aka tarmac
lol
Firstly I'll never take your tips on how to fit front forks I could see Doddy falling off his perch if he saw that anyway that's one awesome looking bike you got their what's the head angle on that beast great video Sam cheers 🍻
Hahaha yeah, Doddy should not be watching these, he would see nightmares!!! 😂😂
Tomi Saaranen Hey Tomi happy Easter 🐣
U mean Doddy from GMBN?
Oussama Hadded Well do you know someone else called "Doddy" related to mountain biking??
Anthony Mowl Who?
Sanding it down... actually hilarious.
Bouldering Noobs yeah lol we’ve just got
Like well over £1400 worth of suspension
Watching you set up those 40’s is undoubtedly the best thing I’ve ever watched 😂
Best unboxing vid EVA! The sanding and the start nut installation pure gold!
Have you ever seen anybody smashing a hammer on a fox 40 haha only in the uk i love your work epic pilgrim
Bec where nutts in UK 🇬🇧 😂
One guy does that and you attach yourselfs to it somehow thinkn your cool. 🤣🤣 kids
you are undoubtedly the worst mechanic ever haha keep it up
yeah from what I've seen you're most likely gonna be a really good rider OR a really good mechanic but very rarely both
I'm like decent on both 😂
Came to find this comment 😂😂
I'm a bit crap at both.
Man i dont mtb but i love sams videos. Love the sanding part, lets sand the fork. Rubs it against the floor, thats all sanded now
Your use of precision tools is fantastic! Keep it up!
Sams like the Jeremy Clarkson in the mtb world his mechanical knowledge is if in doubt hit it with a hammer 🔨 keep it up Sam your a legend👍
you are such a pro bike mechanic :D
I come back to this channel every so often to remind myself I dont need fancy stuff or a fancy bike to have a good time
one side of the fork is the spring (air or coil), the other side, wich is the one that moved, is the hydrolic side, to ajust rebound, compresion... hope that helps!! by the way, what will you do with that suntour fork? i could do with a new one ;)
Wow, I never realized that but it makes sense, I have never thought of why I only pump up one side.
You pump only in one stantion air so only one side comes out with the preassure of the air
Saw hat non tapered steerer straight away was like ???? how far's he going to get before he sees that
Watching you work on your bikes with such a lack of tools just hurts my feelings as a mechanic.
It's not even a problem with tools, but his "skills".
Lol I love Sam but he literally used a spade to hammer in a screw :)
I cringed hard when he tried to install forks.
Yeah but what works, it works
Tomi Saaranen huh :')
Sam, the left side of the fork "works" because that's the side the air spring is in. The damper assembly is in the right side, that's why it doesn't spring back, there's no spring in it.

Your sanding skills are on point Sam
no drama just pure bike mechanics sam pilgrim style.
Sam's mechanic work makes me nervous. I love it
By far the best bikes TH-camr. Matt and Harry ramble on for hours
gil hamilton haha thanks!
5:25. The right leg of the fork (on any fork except for leftys) won't have any resistance because it's the compression and rebound leg. The left leg will have resistance because it's the air/spring leg.
This is so funny to watch.
I have no idea how to fix a bike and i could do better 😂
We love you Sam! 🙌 😂
how does making a bike put soooooo many smiles on peoples faces
Epic the way you sand your fork had me in stitches
Sam Pilgrim: single-handedly dispelling any myths that the pros are some way far more technically skilled at sorting their bikes out than us amateurs!
parttimedogfish Just more technically skilled at riding them 😉🤘🏻
Kizzy2812 without a doubt!
Everything about that bike is SICK! So RAD! 🤘🏼
You are the person who who encouraged me to start biking
Haibike are turning out some amazing whips at the moment!
Best 2 grand fork fitment video ever!
5:06 i almost felt of my chair laughing hahaha. Man your a thru legend , keep it up!
How not to assemble your bike...with a spade!
Nice bike for sure looking forward to your review
Only need one tool, the shovel, from trail building to installing precision factory forks...genius haha Only flaw is the long handle hanging out of your saddle bag lol
Glencoe and fort william both have chairlift and awesome dh tracks, perfect testing ground 👊
James Ridley oooohhhh might have to visit then!

Don't know which vid but wacking the headrace in with a battery still making me smile!!
Insane base frame colour 💪🤘👍
You hammering those expensive Fox 40's with a Spade made my day )) Those Haibike delivered grips on a DH bike are ridiculous
Ooooiiiiii come on then!! That rig looks rowdy bruh!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
😂😂boss mechanic, your like the A team, just use whatever is in reach, I'm gonna sponsor you a rubber mallet and some sand paper haha
Mick Dobson do it haha!
It's happening
That bike looks insane! I thought you were cutting the steerer too short and cringing but I should have trusted you 😂
Quite the All Star Mechanic are ya bud? Love the tool choices
Damn mechanic skills is on another level 😂
Ohhh is sooo RAD 🤘🔥🙈
Sam gave up his brick/rock and got a hammer! Still "sanding it down" though lol.
Looks so killer! Cant wait to see you shred that bike! Wonderful mechanic skills.
the fox 40's with kashima look so sick!
Never hated on haibike's ebikes but to see them making regular bikes too now is sick
Haha professional assembling :D with much fun and very funny atmosphere this that what I like.
Sam give this bike please :D
Lidl bike stand! Love it. They got them in Lidl at the moment again!
TheDave000 yeah I saw that they were back!! Get in there!

I love your vids mate,got me into biking and stunts again. Wish could shake hands!
Every time he goes near the tools my heart skips a beat
maybe the best bike building video ever
Sam "Hacksaw Surgeon" Pilgrim
Sam Pilgrim, amazing rider, shocking mechanic.
I just can't wait to see Sam, changing his RS damper to a Fox one haha Sick video mate!
Sam Pilgrim:gets a new bike
Sam pilgrim again:changes all the parts
JUST HAMMER ON DEM FORKS
Very very nice bike.. I can't wait to see it rolling...!!!
As much is a love your content as a bike mechanic myself I couldn't stop laughing
Glad to see you back on a real bike mate
Sam Pilgrim the pro that knows nothing about suspensionforks □□
I honestly don't know wether to laugh or cry watching Sam do bike mechanics........but it's like a train wreck, I can't look away.
Your good at everything
Outstanding! All the wrong tools for the right job lol! That rig is sweet!
Gets excited but the bubble wrap straight up 😂 legend
How about rear suspension should be FOX suspension right?? 😉😉 anyway such a rad rig..loved it. 🤘🤘🤘
So lucky to have what you love doing
i love it when a plan gets thrown together.
I wish I had a mountain like that. I’ve always dreamed of having a mountain bike that is so nice like yours Sam! But unfortunately my family doesn’t want to spend so much. So I’ll just have to do with my cheap bike
Yesss lads bikes color it's on point. And lol..... Loves the uncontrollable singing
Red Beard yeah I’m stoked on it!!
You make ... the BEST videos man :D LOVE your workshop builds :0) never change!!! :)
I have never cried
Sick bike sam wouldn’t mind that rockshox rear shock mines is destroyed
Joel Hamilton punctuation :)
The sanding and shovel hammer were epic. Think GMBN should get you in to do an alternative tech show. At least it’d be interesting then 😀
Tim Muggeridge haha that would be fun!
Frame looks agresive maybe the colours are to simple but I like the design!
sick video, love hit mechanic skills
6:30 PERFECT!! XD
a little locktite here and there would be nice ( just to be safe) and i love those maxxis tires , they are the best !!!
If you need a bike built I recommend Sam.. solid build
Really nice to see you riding Haibikes.
Im getting my first haibike end of this month, I can barely wait.
XDURO Allmtn 9.0, hope its worth the money and the wait.
And btw, Im a MTB beginner, lol.
Was riding a Fatbike commuter till now (Radhrino), but that thing is just a tank and can barely lift off the ground and is not fun on trails.
It doesnt help that Im 250 pounds either I guess.
Wanted to go for a real MTB and fell in love with the Allmtn 9.0 at first sight.
Always the fox 40🤣🤣🤣 i love you sam
Holy cow! Fantastic!
The old parts are probably amazing!... If only I could afford those... My life would rock!
hhhh, so good you're a rider and not a mechanic!! "we're gonna sand it down" - i'm dying!! love your vids!!
Love your mechanic vlogs =D
btw i really wanna see that!!! 4:50
oh man ju so funyie ;)
Great video as usual, can’t wait for the next one 🤘👍👍
Sick! I wanted you back on real bikes. I knew it would come
"This one doesn't even work what's the point in this" never laughed so much 😂😂
Damn! nice bike! I have the cheapest bike that can barely get upgrades because of budget and yet I put a blanket on it just not to get a scratch and hear you are hammering down an expensive bike with a shovel and sanding it in pavements! damn. life is indeed not fair. love that sense of humor man. hehehe! thats why Im a fan.
The fork leg that doesn't work is the dampner, it just provides a bit of resistance so the fork isn't too bouncy.
Oh i see!
Actually looks insane 🙌😮
Sam Pink cheers dude!
Love the way you sand your fork😂
That is a sick bike and you have great sponsors!!!
It looks so sick dude. No E Bike witch is insane
