Used Downhill Bike gets Fixed, Ridden, and Named
ฝัง

- This story is as much about a used $500 downhill mountain bike as it is about Kevin's progression as a rider. Less than two years ago, Kevin started mountain biking in earnest. Up until that time he had only borrowed bikes and/or ridden casually.
To avoid abusing his enduro bike, Kevin bought a used downhill bike for $500, but it needed some TLC. With a very minimal investment, he and I got the bike running well enough to take to Windrock for a proper test.

When the trap beat drops you know Kevin is about to wild out
Btw why didn't you replace the one by to a 8 speed drivetrain. Why didn't you replace the chainstay protector. It looks really ugly. And it didn't protect the chainstay really good
What the hell is going on with that dude? Riding for a year and sending four to five meter drops.
When's new bike day??
Hi Seth !
Seth's Bike Hacks that specific build of Giant Glory does actually come stock with Sram Level TL brakes. It was the most budget build in the Glory lineup of, I think it was 2016
Ok... We all know this isn’t your first time watching this.
Nope😂
Love this video
best vid
Kevin later sold his road bikes, gained $20,000 and had no regrets lol
Billy McGee he already did
Wtf really?
900 like
Correction: road bike
Mountain biking is cute yes offense
6yrs ago I met a good friend by the name of Mike better known as "six-o" in the messenger industry. We both loved bikes and paintball. Mike rode dh, We began hanging and playing paintball. I mostly rode bmx and wanted to get into mtb. I couldn't afford a good mtb, Mike gave me his v1 transition bottle rocket and said here's a gift I'll help you build it. I know it's an old bike, but I love it. He began to teach me about gears, parts, setups and such. 2yrs ago my friend was killed by cops and I didn't want to ride anymore. But today I am more determined to finishing building this bike in his honor.
Lenny Negron that’s sad.. hope you finish that bike
Rip
Man do it for him he would have wanted you to finsh it
You go and finish it
You could also name it mike in his name👍😇
He stole bike parts for you
*me doesn’t mountain bike
*also me watches hours of mountain biking vids
Same haha
Coastal same
Give it a go!
I just started 3 months ago. Believe me, it's extremely fun. Nothing better than being scared out of your mind going downhill not knowing what to do and then learning from the experience. Only thing is you have to pedal back up.
Try to find a local trail, you’ll be surprised how fun it can be (you should go with someone who’s experienced though)
that was awesome!
Hey, I feel like I know you from somewhere
Hello Jordan
You and Seth and Mahalo my dude are my favorite TH-cam channels
For mountain bikes
@@gunnarnasrallah9738 saaammmmeeeee
What doesn’t make sense is I don’t even own a bike, yet love this channel. Just a quality tuber.
Hes a good youtuber too
Same thing here, I’m a motorcycle and dirt bike guy, not a bicycle guy. But I don’t miss a single of Seth’s videos, he’s such a good TH-camr.
Why not? He's a great story teller.
His videos are great for sure. But when will you finally give mountainbiking a try? :D You should know better by now!!!
Just kidding :)
Keyword: "Yet"!
“We had to use an old rear derailleur” mate that’s a Shimano saint. I feel a bit poor rn lol.
The derailleur could have been broken but still it’s a saint.
CliffordTheEscort saints hold their value well. Unlike XO’s
@@GTChucker86
Not true at all tbh XOs are amazing
DeadKnife532 not 2nd hand it aint haha. Earlier XO models go for cheap online cause of its liberal use of Carbon parts that gets broken over time. XO derailleur with broken cages and XO cranks with broken crank arms. The Saints however are bulletproof even The earlier 2008 models or the Hone models hold their value pretty well
DeadKnife532 no they are really bad
They’re like 150 bucks, Chump change
Who’s watching after drama died and was so happy seeing him walk in the garage
I am here and sadder than ever
Yes 😔
[*]
Yeah, may he RIP and be remembered
Yes 🥺
I never would have guessed Kevin was so new to MTB. Always enjoy your vids and really enjoy seeing you ride with Kevin and Bobo, the three of you guys seem really genuine and always have fun together.
I remember Kevin’s first road bike. I worked on it. I sold him some wheels too. 💖
Always Ride Ready, Never Forgetti
That's SICK!
Hello Person spaghetti
Lucky
Yoooooo its Elmo!
Looks like Kevin ate more than 1 doughnut after switching to downhills
oof
more like beers and burritos. A good IPA with black beans will also blow your shorts off.
Happiness isn't always a flat stomach :-)
Yeahhh but he's happy!
Yeah but I'm 100% he is sending harder than the hater trolls!
Yes yes yes I’ve been waiting for you to drop a new video I really enjoy your stuff and you have guided me to get into mountain biking
Such a touching story. A roady finding his way to the dirt
Truely inspiring
Kevin liked bmx for the thrill.
He like road biking for the speed.
Kevin was good at both.
Kevin was unknowingly setting himself up to conquer mountains.
(theory=
USA : used Downhill bike 500$
GERMANY: used Downhill bike 1200€
Sweden too
Tino Gru all riders in Europe use 1500€-2000€+ bikes
true asf im in germany
Philippines: 2000$
Turkey: 5000$
5:57 What is this?! IFHT?! that's amazingly edited
Except for the music.
Mahalo, my dude
Whats the song
@@TeodorKubena needs some thrash...
@Misho Stoyanov Song? Dude it's just the same 808 as in every other "lit" beat that was created in the last 3 years... Y'all must be deaf 'cause all today beats sound the same.
6:40 your gunna need a lawyer for that case
good one that's funny
Mate that’s a full blown murder, case, trial and sentence
You are gonna need more than a lawyer
Defence attorney is still trying for a reduced sentence to this day
7:19 watch his front wheel
Thats because in final cut when adding a bunch of layers in one frame it makes the frame distorted.
The bass drop has ripped the spacetime continuum
8:39 am i the only one who noticed that?
Noticed what?
@@willshawyer7280 his pants being pulled down again👖👇
*HAHA* 😂🤣😅
Lolololololooloooololoool
Guess he didnt fascint the Pant
Steady is a beast! I had a great time trying to keep up with him at Bailey early this year! When you ride with Steady you get Progressed!
Damn Seth you are an absolute legend at uploads. I’m uploading today but you upload so often it’s insane!!!
Yeah he’s an animal!!!
*rear tire barely hits the knuckle “HE HIT A MASSIVE CASE”
This episode never gets old.
Kevin's progression has been absolutely nuts. Got the chance to ride with him for the first time back in January for his first big drop, by the time I came to visit him in North Carolina, a few months later, I could barely keep up with him at Bailey. So dope to see it properly documented! And of course for Gallagher to get some much needed attention 😂
Seth you are such an inspiration, thank you for all you have done for this community. Keep up the good work!
At 33 about to get my first downhill bike and I am so excited about it. This was just more reassurance that I am doing the right thing lol. Good on ya mate dont stop road biking just keep on riding everything!!!!!
It makes so much sense though that Kevin started out learning how to jump around and play, then got used to going really really fast, then put the two together to reach his final form
$500 for Gallagher and doesn't have to rent a DH bike anymore...hella good find!! 🍻🤘🏼
Walt Robinson I love buying secondhand stuff it’s fun to make bikes that haven’t been treated properly and fixing up to looking mint😂
Your voice is so soothing, keep it up Seth 😁👍
For real though! Hes got such technical knowledge and the smoothest voice
Kevin's a monster! Cant wait to see him winning world cups!
I keep coming back to this video.
It's just such a good story, and such beautiful editing... great job, man. Serious stoke.
This was great!!! Love watching the progression of Steady!!! And yes....the trap music made it more exciting 🤘
A Giant Glory for 500...
Damn
Great vid! As always!
Keep it up Seth!
Probably from a friend who didnt need it anymore or is sponsored?
I have watched this video 10 times over the time it’s been published and I never get bored, all time classic
Nice to see Kevin's progression. I remember that video when you guys introduced him to MTB and man has he progressed monumentally!
It's really cool how many different riders you have helped grow their channels through collaborations.
Mtb Blew his shorts right off! 😂
Convert them all
Love how u use older or used pieces to build. For most of us who cant afford to put a ton into brand new this is awesome and helpful.
Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Very professional. Thank you for the great content.
Ayeeee Kevin Thats a lot of damage. Btw Kevin is Wheelie Good :D Luv ur Vids Seth
Hello I’m a big fan from South Africa
Love your vids
Keep it up 👍👍
I'm also from South Africa
Pretoria South Africa
Ek is ook van Suid afrika
Nice Julle ons is broers van die kaap 😂😂😂
i like how you support your friends and share their history!! Sometimes it’s not about our selfs.
Thanks for the inspo, though Im totally new to biking. That DROP THOUGH!!! Way to send it!!
Love the videos bro! Recently I faced my fear and hit a big drop (big for me). You helped inspire me to go for it
I new Kevin was progressing his skill but dang didnt know he was riding that sick. Super awesome and pumps me up to go and get better. Great video and heres to the growth of @SteadySpin.
Man if only my job allowed me to go “alright I’m going on a bike ride in Tennessee tomorrow”
Chaps, just wanted to say; I love this video. Well done. It shows that you can get into the sport in a cheap bike and that having fun is more important than dollar
I don't know whether Kevin is a beast or a slayer. Dude rips mad serious
damm.... he is truly sending it...lol.. that awesome... that red bull drop is SWEET!!! way to go...great vid..
I have lost count how many times I have watched this video
these videos are keeping me alive in -30 winter
A 2017 giant glory 2 does come stock with Sram level ts lmao
lmao. I had the 2017 Glory 2. Brakes sucked so bad.
@@dhmtb9024 I rented one at my local dh park and they got super hot after the first run😂
@@donniethornberry7750 Shimano's new super cheapo 4 piston brake is much better. Not great, but better than most cheapo brakes.
@@dhmtb9024 yeah I've had a look at them they seem very good for the price
I got avid elixir r on my Scott spark they re so good for Wheelies
After one year sending huuuuge drops like this is just awesome! 🔥🤘🏻
Get that boy some stiffer springs!!
We NEED more of these type of videos. Love this!
When i saw this video i was like: YEEEEES! SETH FINALLY GOT A DOWNHILL BIKE😂
Same here..that seems a bit to good to be true..🤔
8:11 LOL I laughed so hard at that. You have a great sense of humor!
It's just facts
This was way more interesting than I expected
Man your Story Telling skillz in your Videos are Unmatched .. Love it , New Sub From NY
Dude I just love the videos bro I love your videos so much. I could sit down every day and look at your videos.
Great job on Gallagher, Kevin's progression is amazing to say the least!
Thank you so much for showing me that video I have more confidence in myself thank you so much you save my life for mountain bike Ing I wish I could pay you back you guys are one of the best mountain biking channels
This feels like one of the best videos he has made
I hit a new big jump over a rock about 2 meters long and all your videos helped me to commit to it like the pink bike drop love your videos !🤙🤘🏻
That is one impressive shift from roadie world! Many people who have been riding for 10+ years including myself still can't send some of those jumps.
Love seeing old toys get a new makeover. Gallagar looks mint!
Love the way this was filmed and made. Awesome job !
Nice to see a downhill vid on seth's channel loved it thanks for the joy you bring us from your vids
I just missed out on a $200 Santa Cruz Bullit not too long ago, I was bummed. This gets me excited to try and find another deal.
That late landing pant blooper riminds of Brett Rheeders landing on latest Crankworx in Innsbruck XD
This is one of the most inspirational videos you've made for me! I'm looking for a used dh bike right now haha :)
so sick that Kevin could get a DH bike!!
although when i saw the thumbnail, i thought you had finally gotten one for yourself xD
When ever I see when you upload it makes me happy 😃 as I’m a gamer but only just starting to go on bikes a lot more
6:05 for those people wondering like me is the song Chain by Ballpoint
Nickrizzle_ bro you are a legend, just know a lot of people were looking for that.
Kevin is such a cool , funny guy . I can see why you guys are friends . That guy is gold , same as Alexander and Brian .
I'm confusion,I ride bmx but still love this channel! I even took my bmx trail riding! Anyways, keep up the great vids Seth!!
Brakeless 4 Life
I already follow Kevin but I loved this video! Hope he gains a lot of subscribers!!
You and Kevin both have lift tickets waiting for you at Alyeska Resort Bike Park whenever you find yourselves in the neighborhood. Love the channel and keep up the great work!
Great video Seth! I watch your videos everyday and you inspire me to get better.😀
I loved the beat drop edit
Keep it up Seth love your vids❤️
i wish i had a friend like you to help me with my bike and show me interesting fun places to visit. your a good guy seth
this was very informative! thanks.
Love your videos it has inspired me to start mountain biking
Mr. Fortze same
So cool! Welcome to the club!!
6:05 that song gives me tgf flashbacks
Go shave ur eyebrows off... tgf do it
I love your workshop and endless amount of spare parts .
Sweet job in finding a $500 DH and great job Kevin on the ride!
That beat drop literally gave me goosebumps
What is the name of that song?
Kevin drops the hammer, Sledge-o-Matic!
its hilarious i have watched this video over 20 times idk why but its just the best video ever
The Appalachian tunnels are awesome. Seeing this big painting of a mountain road get bigger and bigger as you exit them is beautiful.
Just drove from Chicago to Charlotte and the mountainous areas of Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia are amazing. The toll roads are worth the $4-8 if you're going across WV btw. They're super well maintained and the path you take is stupid pretty.
Seth:he turned out to be really good at not pedaling
The camera dude: has aneurism
alex does that alot
this bike comes really stock with the level XC brakes , giant had a really nice idea
Good for him. I dont understand whats fun about road biking. Two of my buddies started mtbing this year. They both have a motocross background. Ive been on a mtb for 15 years and they already follow me everywhere. They even ride more than i do. They are hooked.
Its the 4 time i watch this now, its so good!
only 4 im on like 8
Ok did anyone see that part when Drama opened the door with his paw? Also R.I.P Drama you lived a good life
6:02 that beat dropped harder than my gpa
Relatable
U know the name of that?
That mid air "whooaaaah" as he realized he hit the jump with too much speed was soooo relatable haha. Glad he landed it safely!
Watching this video inspired me to find a project bike, found a decent shape frame and suspension bike for $700, worked on the brakes and the shop bled them, replaced the headset bearing and tightened some stuff and it was good to go!
