In Singapore, where the humidity is in the high 90 percentage, most clothes get soaked quickly. Rain, thankfully, is not cold, and I tend to dry off quickly after the rain stops. I usually protect my money and phone from the heavy showers, rather than myself.
Five Ten Trailcross Gore-Tex shoes. Years of blisters and wet feet in vans style shoes that were heavy, awlful to push up in and took ages to dry. I bought the none gore-tex version when they first came out like a dream to ride and walk in, quick drying but the waterproof onces are perfect for the UK where there's standing water 9/10 rides
Good list. The only one I’d say you could do without if you are tight on funds is the tech Tee. You can get dry wicking shirts for about $15 that do the same. Just a money saving tip
Cushcore, elbow forearm protection, knee shin protection, full face head protection, and dirtlej full body suit. Hustle labs pedals is also a honorable mention.
Nit going to lie, got my first pair of water proof socks for Christmas and, omfg they are amazing. My feet were not only dry but warm also. They are definitely worth the price my wife paid for them.
Waterproof over trousers are a game changer. They keep you dry and when you get back to the car you can just whip them off and you are still nice and clean for the car ride home.
I should bought sooner a water bottle with wider neck. It makes a huge difference. The ones with tiny necks are so tirering to drink of, especially during physical climbs. A dropper seatpost is the real game changer. So if you do not have it already buy one and see your self.
Mate track pump was the one I wish I bought earlier, I used hand pumps for about 10 years, it just never crossed my mind to buy one. Once I did I never looked back, I don't know why I struggled for so long :D
Winters in Texas are dry, but sometimes cold. So my best investment were the fleece-lined lycra cycling tights. I only own a pair of pants to wear to the trail head.
i got a dirtsuit for my birthday last year and i cannot understand how i managed to survive the last winter with some thrown-together rain jacket and trousers. Now it's just jump-in-zip-up-and-go.
I have two bikes made just for winter riding to work at night. They have studded tires and front and rear racks with clear plastic sheets zip tied to them to keep snow and stuff off of me. One of them isy fat bike The front rack.on my fat bike works great for putting pizza on top of I have straps for it.
maybe dumBEST, I can't believe GMBN is revealing us secrets the hidden benefits of waterproof stuff, mud guards, bike levers, pumps and e-bikes. So banal.
Why don't bike manufacturers build/ship their bikes with frame protection they designed themselves specifically for each bike? Because who doesn't want to protect their bikes. The same with mobile phones? Who doesn't install a protection foil?
My tailgate would have appreciated a tailgate pad 10 years ago ... yet I only ordered one now.... Old beach towel worked fine, but finally got tired of the crappy look and carrying more than one bike was a pain in the butt with tie-downs all over the truck :O
I lucked out on waterproofs. 2 decades of fishing has built a nice wardrobe full of waterproofs. The one bit of kit I wish I'd bought sooner was a multitool. A £5 multitool. Found a Crivit tool in Aldi or Lidl, has a t25, all the necessary hex keys, flat and Philips screwdriver and a chain tool. Why a £5 tool? Because I've had too many Topeak and Lezyne tools get pinched on the trails, if the crivit goes missing then I'm not so out of pocket. Also got to say Veloviz. It's a small company down in Cornwall who manufacture reflective stickers, really nice ones. Make you super visible at night (in conjunction with lights) but look stonking in the daylight.
I used my dads ww2 pump uo to 2003! It was basically the same as that massive canister one there shown took seconds to blow up a 26in tyre on my DH bikes great pump well built haha my dad before he passed collected all different ww2 gear the tools and pumps were solid for bike's! If i didnt back the car over it I'd probably still be using it hahaha😂
What track pump was that? And what's the best winter cycling gloves for Scotland? My hands suffer like crazy when it's cold because I've ripped my tendons twice on one hand, on two different knuckles.
Would yall say the Endura MT500s are a good set of waterproofs? (Jacket & trousers)... I've recently been looking around as it's been pouring down recently.
If you find good price, than its good. My friends have those, I grabbed Dirtlej :) Both will do the job done. For my winter sports I am aiming higher, but bike clothing is....more often destructed :D So price balancing....
In the early eighties my friend was a world champion motor cross champion and absolutely nuts on a mtb which were incidentally crap in those days. He used his 500cc motorcross bick to RIP new trails through the woods. Awesome.
Track pump is one of those items that once you've bought one you have no idea how you managed without it. Don't wear a cotton t-shirt for MTBing, they're horrible.
Made me laugh about the cr500 those mudguards look nothing like a cr they look almost the same as a trials bike ie Toni Bou stick with what you know Riche ie mtb not moto ha ha .
mudguards are so uncool there cool! Ebikes a real cyclist can't have one of those evil things What are you thinking didn't your mom warn you about their kind?

A pair of proper tampons would also be a great addition then.

Holy moly that trail behind you looks sublime.. have you got some details on this??
Great video mate! Thanks for the info!
Merino wool i perfect material for a riding jersey!
Tire inserts, oval chainring, full armor (fullface, knee pads, shin guards, elbow pads, padded underpants, padded shirt, ankle covered shoes), 1st aid kit...
The rear mud guard that clips under your seat… ass saver.. cheap but very effective…
At the pump track with your track pump

it just rains that often in the UK... :)
@@tarikstpatrick5804 maybe, but we still watched it! Lol
How about a good backpack to hold it all and your drink?
Digital pressure gauge for me and co2 canisters
Great video 😃 I always have cold feet in the winter 🥶 what socks do you recommend ? 🤔
cushcore has been a pretty big one for me personally.
I'm 50 ,been riding decade's, and only recently did I get a track Pump...Should of bought one age's ago...Ha Ha!!

Waterproof boots, socks and gloves are a game changer in the UK
100%
Has anyone tried magnetic clips on their mountain rides? Any review would be awesome, as I'm wondering if the prices are justified by the practicality

Most of these ideas could apply to all forms of cycling.

I've had some frame protection peal off clearcoat when removing it. How do I avoid this? Heat before peal? Higher quality protection?
nice 'CR500' shout out..........look it up, kids!
Got yourself a nice haircut ❤
Quite rude from ya. I feel with Rick. Sooner or later I will be having same haircut as him. :)
@@johnnykramolis7469 dude! I am the same, and I wasn’t being spiteful. He looks better with the hair cut
@@helidude72i Ok :). No problem. That's the problem with written words, as they can sounds differently than was intended.
Thanks for the video and have a nice 2023!! 🔥🚵
Thanks, you too!
When I removed it, I peeled off the clear coat protecting the frame. How can I avoid this?
Heat the sticker with a hairdrier

I recently bought a spot of the trousers. I'd recommend them. Makes riding in mud much more enjoyable.
@@darachnid Considering I'm not a pro and I enjoy keeping my jeans stain-less, I don't see why it's a problem.

Rich showing his age when he mentions the CR500. They don’t make them like they use to.

Marv?
Gear Bandits?
I'd have to say a dropper seat post.
Deffo a game changer!
What model of Canyon is that?
What brand of helmet is that
POC helmet
Soaking cold and wet through 😂
A good chain chain cleaner is I wish I got something elier
A clean drivetrain is a happy drivetrain that's for sure!
Spare tubes!!
If you're not running tubeless, this is deffo an essential!
i never got the benefits of frame protection and ebikes
I'll add one - mtb pants
Shame this could have been a top video but as usual ended up being an advertisement for I suspect THE SPONSORERS 😏
Handlebars beyond 580mm and tires beyond 2.1. Stuck in the 90s for much too long.
Riding like 600mm bars is scary after 760mm
Wanna see rich do his own TH-cam more
Just more brand promoting rather than impartial advice
Wear gloves and socks. What a genius. I’m losing my fucking mind. Why didn’t I think about this sooner?
Track pump is one of those items that once you've bought one you have no idea how you managed without it.
Don't wear a cotton t-shirt for MTBing, they're horrible.
Ohhh not an Ebike! 😅
Starting 23 off with a video thats been done by gmbn at least 20 times ............
