I Rode a BIKE SHOP Up a Mountain To Make People Happy

- Today, we bring the bike shop to the trailhead! I load a bike repair stand, tools, a workbench, and lots of mountain bike products on to my cargo bike, and pedal it up a mountain to open up shop. Will we have everything we need? Will the bike make it back down the mountain?

Everyone’s brakes are bad always
I just got an e-bike and the stock brake pads are absolutely horrible
No worries I never swap pads. I get new brakes 😂
@@SomeRandomGuy-z9k Galfer purple ebike pads.... always, every bike regardless if electric or not.
Just noticed my front caliper was loose on my last ride. It's OK though because the bolts are seized so it won't come off
For things such as cable or tubing, I think it could be brought by zip tying them around the rim in the spokes
First Customer here. Thanks to Pat for the bleed and most thanks for diagnosing the headset! Thank you Seth, for putting in the work. Also for your unique and generous contributions to the local MTB community.
On a different note, seeing myself in a professional grade video I'm now convinced I don't need my own TH-cam channel.
Ding. Ding.
I'd actually love hear how Berm peak has been for locals, if you could share a bit? Like if it was eagerly awaited or how popular it's been compared to other areas close by/further away.
Also, you were great in the video! Ding.
@@Brigtzen Berm Park and Chestnut Mountain Nature Park in general have been very well received by the locals. That's the area riders and also the town of Canton, which since the opening has had a massive economic shake up. The park has shown the town that an outdoor-entusiast economy is a viable way forward after losing their longtime largest employer.
Most of the trail miles are south of Asheville, and many of us don't have extra time to go too far for an after work ride. Chestnut is a new "closest" system for us, and has become a go-to.
And the riding? It's unique here for sure! There's a progressive jump park. There's a progressive group of trails built by people who obviously know how to build amazing trails with options and b-lines galore! And they're BIKE-ONLY!!! And they're ALL directional trails! Except for part of the access trail, which is bidirectional and has some fun bits too. Even the toughest stuff can be ridden slowly for a different sort of ride.
I have never been so social as when here and have met new people to ride with on several occasions. These people are sometimes locals but often are visiting from far and wide.
I could keep going but this is already a book.
Do it! You have nothing to lose man
@@yobaafett 😂
@davidbrown8888 seriously, if it's what you want to do don't let yourself stop you
"Bikes running great!"
*Cuts to mechanic*
"Everything's loose."
😂😂😂
Not only are you the GOAT for fixing bikes for free, you're a goat climbing that trail with that overloaded bike! You're the best, Seth!
He wasn't climbing, he was making a statement 🤘
More Pat! He is a great addition.
And this is a great idea.
Seth, this is why you have so many followers....you continue to come up with great content and are always supporting and promoting the community.
As for Pat from Squatch Bikes, he has always provided the best service around! Super efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. Great job guys! I wish I would have been there that day.
It's a good thing i wasn't there, because i wouldn't be allowed to leave with how many small things there are to fix on my bike XD
Gotta love that one guy. "Oh, everything's great", everything was loose & bent
Pat is one of the best dudes around. Great to showcase his skill and servant mentality
My guy is #1 bike philanthropist
How does this have no reply’s
Cargo hauling vet here, used my RadWagon for handyman work. Your biggest handling problem was the stand hanging so far back. Had you strapped it with the top next to the head tube, the wiggles would be all but gone. Better yet, put the feet of the stand up front. More weight on the front wheel plus you could see your two biggest catch points. You might have to adjust your leg a little to get around the stand. I'd have strapped that tool roll to the right side for more balance.
I have since experimented with balancing out the weight and you are 100% spot on
Also try some ROK straps instead of those ratcheting straps. They never can come loose like that.
direct to consumer gets a whole new meaning at berm peak
Pat is awesome, he fully had me when after the guy said he could not get in to a specific gear, second from the bottom, with no hesitation Pat states, "ohh we'll be taking care of that!" Hell yes, perfect pairing having Seth and Pat working together. Now I have to visit his bike shop when I am in that part of NC.
My favorite video yet. That mechanic is top notch, and hilarious. Can’t imagine how much easier my life would be with him around and I didn’t have to slowly go insane with every new sound my bike makes
Berm peak is back
If only our culture was more like this, more focused around giving, instructing, community building and sharing I feel we’d all be happier. Thanks for the motivation and keep up the awesome work!
I could watch a 4 hour cut of y'all working on bikes. This was fantastic!
Yeah, I like PC building videos. Apparently I now also like bike repair videos 😁
Second free customer was rocking trail one hells gate grips 😎 Thanks for helping out with our trail network. For every hells gate grip sold we get a dollar 😊. Thanks with love from Kenya 🇰🇪
BEST !!! love Seth’s sketch rides - awesome work Pat. Some very lucky riders that morning. Hope this shows everyone the importance of supporting local bike shops. Support the local bike shop dudes.
Honestly i'd be happier if he toned it down a bit, we don't want another accident with a year or two long recovery time
Getting rid of those sram level brakes and putting on shimano probably changed that kids life 😂😂
Magura calipers and Shimano levers!
From SRAM Level to base Shimano MT200s. Lower end, but not sketchy! Those SRAMs would have killed him lol
bs
@@MarioGoatse if you've opened your eyes you would have seen those were quad pot brakes, so most likely mt420, actually best value Shimano brakes these days
I think it is deore m4100
I love how this has very quickly become the best cargo bike channel on TH-cam! I'm stoked you're showing the versatility of cargo bikes on your platform, helping folks in the process and still doing sketchy stuff like that fully loaded descent 😂
I love the fact that Seth brought the heavy steel bike stand up, but set up shop right next to the stand mounted in the ground!
Glad to see you out on the trails! I appreciate your channel going in a different direction, but I always enjoy the trail content!! Great idea too for the on demand bike shop!
i believe normal trail riding would be the safer option for Seth. his brain seems not suitable for standard "safe" activities ;)
This is the kind of "over the top" I love. @8:46 Seth knows he brought ALL the right tools. The quite confidence says it all.
Awesome video-that climb had to send your heart rate to the moon! I live 4 1/2 hours away from Squatch Bike, but bring all of my mountain bike repairs there when visiting to ride. Pat is an awesome mechanic & a great guy!
0:41 only the ogs remember how far back this drill has been in his channel. One of the tools he still uses till this day
Cargo cyclist here, well done Seth! Love seeing stuff like this. Check out a Big Fat Dummy for that sort of stuff, it’s a lot stiffer than a BD, and fat tires make it more stable hauling loads on singletrack. I have one that sees duty hauling tools for trail work (routinely 100+ lbs) and it’s awesome, both up and down. Just set it up with a Manitou Mastodon, and it’s even more insane. Would love to share pics of it loaded with you. Ride on!
i love how, despite mountain bike content views being no where near where they used to be, seth is just constantly doing things to benefit his community
This is a great thing y'all did for these people. Y'all may have kept someone from getting hurt. Bless you guys
This is a very Seth idea😂I like it!
You can tell Pat is an amazing mechanic.
I absolutely loved this. Wrenching, riding, crazy adventures, utility bikes, education, helping people, what more could you want? Pat is an awesome mechanic. I enjoy his appearances on Berm Peak.
Loved this idea. Who would have thought that so many people on the trail needed some sort of repair and didn't know it. Hopefully they all learned something when they rode off and their bikes were smooth as hell. I'd love to see another video later after you get the big dummy dialed in as a repair bike
"Who would have thought that so many people on the trail needed some sort of repair and didn't know it."
I would. I've been working on bikes since I was a kid in the early 1980s and if you inspect some random person's bike anywhere in the world, it will nearly always have at least one problem. Loose bearings (e.g., headsets, bottom brackets, hub axles, pedal spindles) and brakes that need work are the most common problems.
Most people know nothing about the mechanics of a bike. They just buy them and ride them, and it doesn't occur to them that anything is wrong until something happens that prevents them from riding normally, such as a flat tire, a chain that won't stay on, gears that won't shift, or brakes that stop working altogether. Things like minor play in the headset and other bearings don't even register with them.
That load on the bike was ridiculous. You are awesome, sir. " I'm a real mountain biker". Couldn't agree more.
I loved this one Seth. Good mix of wrenching and sketch… and it made me want a cargo bike. 😂
Love old shovel
Seth, my hat is off to you on this presentation.
Your presentations are well thought out and entertaining.
This one is in your top 5!
Recently, you have remarked that you will no longer be able to do sketchy adventures because you're now a family man, and first and foremost, you need to look out for your family. Then you proceed a little while later to endeavor on what might be the sketchy-ist thing you have done.
The physical effort put forth was truly amazing.
The benefits to the MTB community were very generous.
All the best to you and yours. Stay well, our friend
Your not on an E-bike? (without hesitation) "Nope I'm a REAL mountain biker!" I love it! 😂😅🤣
the only correct response
Yup!
After that comment, I lost a little respect for you Seth.
@@mattvangundy6701 Aww it's just humor. Nothing meant by it. People dog each other. EBikers seem sensitive. I hope that I don't get that way if I get one.
@@themostlymikeshow Yeah I hear you. I'm not like offended or anything. I'm not even an e-biker... just tired of the way a lot of mtb-ers put down the way some people like to get out and enjoy the outdoors and have fun.
You're setting such a great example for the biking community. Well done and thank you.
If you ever do this again you could try converting it to an ebike with n hub motor. If I recall you have worked with electronics before, you can definitively pull it off
e bikes aren't allowed at berm park
Out here, that would severely limit where I could take the bike. Also, it would be less entertaining!
If there is a next time I hope he is more prepared overall.
@@ChrisBFergusonbro he’s offering free bike fixes and services on the top of a trail from a regular none electric bike there will be limited amounts of things he can bring otherwise he would be exhausting himself before he can get even close to the top of the trail
Or, just divide up the load with multiple riders next time.
Sketch=crazy, brave, courageous, frightening.
Your generosity is awesome. Your sense of adventure is amazing and a heap of people in this video absolutely grateful.
Shout out to Pat for sharing your experience and stellar work.
The underrated element is him working out in nature like that. Of course Seth set him up pretty well with a stand and a FAN but still I get stressed wrenching on bikes if my garage is a little messy. Working out in the open on dirt in the sun etc would drive me nuts
I love this content, just makes me smile! Thank you guys so much, Berm Peak is one of the most wholesome YT channels I know.
Noises and clicks drive me nuts. I could never ride with a loose head set clicking everytime I brake. So awesome you got to hook these people up.
When my bike is in good working order, it is almost silent, so I always know right away when there's something wrong, and I won't stop looking until I've identified and eliminated the source of the noise.
I know the feeling, a silent bike is a good bike. Creaking drives me nuts, I'll do a front to back strip down and rebuild to make it silent again. 😂
the fire pole slide was hilarious, as someone who's just gotten back into mountain biking after a 25 year hiatus, I'm thankful for this channel, the game has changed so much since I last was interested in it back in my teens, and the education extracted from these videos is very helpful.
that bike mechanic is SKILLED! very inspirational, I am thinking of making a career switch and becoming one :D great video!
The best things in life are free. Nice both of you to do that.
I love this. While stationed in Camp Arifjan Kuwait I bought basic MTB tools and fixed everybody's bike that needed it, for free. I had a nice selection of used parts otherwise would show them what they needed to order. Even built a wheel from scratch for somebody.
This was great! Also eye-opening to see how many people's bikes need things to be tightened! You helped make their bikes safer.
Your mechanic is the man. What a cool service you guys did.
I skipped over this video for couple weeks.. and finally watched it today. It’s one of my favorite videos you have made! Great work Seth! I honestly love your content.
I think we need to get Pat one of these to ride around Pisgah and DuPont with!
My heart is warm. It's nice to see the smiles on ppls faces.
I do MTB trail maintenance on my eCargo bike and I can tell ya what you already know, batteries make life way, way easier. I'll go in w/ chainsaw, gas, oil, machete, McCloud, etc and it works beautifully. Kudos for human powering that but there are times technology is nice ;)
Turning a bicycle into a work vehicle/mobile workshop is one of the most genius and brazen ideas I've ever witnessed. And the execution was just phenomenal. Wow.
Hey Seth
CENTRE O GRAVITY very important on aircraft...
Bikes too it seems
Glad you made it up the mountain.
Alright. A couple of comments here. Can we take a moment to appreciate Pat and his mad repair and maintenance skills?? Wow! Secondly, I think I held my breath the whole way down the trail! Thirdly, this is wildly entertaining and so awesome.
Leading by example..... you guys are legends!!
Great generocity its so important in our days. Im a long distance Cyclist. Thanks for doing this to your community!! Great job!
This should be a series!! Love your ideas!!
i am loving all the recent cargo/ surly big dummy videos.. i manifested them and they came true!!!!!!
Who stay for the entire video? 🙋🏾♂️🤙🏾. Seth makes everything interesting to watch 💯🔥
Doin the Lord's Work. 🤘🏻😁
You're recent videos of extreme generosity have earned the sub. What a great channel and mission dude!
WOW, what a great idea!
Seth got me back into mountain biking and I’m glad to see he’s giving back to the community in such an awesome way
So Seth is now the Mr beast of the biking community 😂
Good point about the front rack. I find it easier to ride when I setup my bike for a week-long cycling trip (front and rear racks fully stocked up) than when I go for an overnight trip with everything on the rear rack.
Love this idea! Next time would be nice to bring a coffe machine!
Hey Seth, I've thought about the idea of mobile mechanics quite a bit as a future business and have a tip for ya - a tune-up stand (like Topeak's offering) is all you'd need 99% of the time, with a suitable tree branch or fence post usually within sight for hanging a bike by the saddle the other 1% of the time. Tune-up stands raise one wheel just clear of the ground, allowing for wheel rotation for applications like derailleur/hanger adjustment, brake alignment, gear indexing, almost all realistic trailside repairs (without far bulkier tools) can be done using these small stands.
The biggest advantage is that with the rear mounted in the stand, the front wheel remains in contact with the ground. This adds a lot of leverage support for high-torque tasks such as crank or BB removal. By flipping the bike in the stand you can raise the front wheel when rotation is needed, for things like front caliper alignment.
P.s. your videos got me fixing my own bikes several years ago - 10 months of study and a lot of hard work later, I'm now a qualified bike mechanic working in an awesome industry. Cheers for inspiring me to follow this passion
I should have come yesterday to get some free forks 😅. They are clapped
Another reason why Seth is/has the best bike TH-cam channel.
also seth love the videos ive been watching you since day one of your raceface review keep it up man youve come a long way bro!
1. Watching the climb -- you are crazy strong! I remember an early episode from your current house/trails where you lifted something heavy from a sitting position on the ground to your utility vehicle and SingleTrack Sampler was UNable to replicate. (you'd WIN at Scottish games!) 2. Repair setup -- what a comprehensive toolkit ... lesson: we normal riders are not very sensitive to our bike issues! 3. Going down -- some of that footage looked steep on camera, so it must have been vertical! Love your content--thank you!
This needs one of those front disc e-bike drives.
Mad as ever, so happy you are stilling finding new crazy things to do in such a wholesome and helpful manner!
Seth is always coming up with crazy ideas. I don't know anyone else that would think of this and make it.
Honestly Seth, I would equipe this bike with a Bafang BBSHD. The motor/battery would provide much needed weight up front, and that particular motor puts out boatloads of hill crushing torque!
This was just straight up fun! I’m glad to see your pricing wasn’t impacted by inflation!
I spent about a year of my life assembling bikes for walmart, have a very love hate relationship with those park tool bike maintenance stands. Makes servicing a lot easier but was a pain in the ass to carry into the store every morning. Seth you are insane for riding up a mountain with that thang lol; awesome, entertaining, informative, and trail inspiring videos as always!
Good on you supporting the cycling community with your mobile shop.
I don’t like starting rides with a patched tube, so anytime I get a puncture I repair my bike with a new tube, save and patch the damaged tube, and it goes in my bag as a gift for stranded riders I happen upon. I usually give away 1-3 tubes every year on my rides. I did happen upon a guy once who walked 6k to the lot because I couldn’t convince him a tube was a good fix for his busted tubeless valve 😮.
I love the danger corners on the workbench.
I hope you do a second version of the mobile repair station. There's probably dozens of innovations to be made here.
This video was great. We need a part 2.
Recovering from recent injury, benching Berm Peak vijeos every now and then..
Great unique content and very polished presentation! Always puts a grin on my face.
No doubt one of the coolest videos I’ve seen yet again from Seth. Friggen love this dude!!! and the content never stops! Thanks for the great content
That's a very cool thing to do. More people who love this sport should offer this (without the expensive spare parts may be and not necessarily on top of a hill) - with some expertise and good tools you can do a lot and make people's days.
I think we can safely say you are making the world a better place. That was a fun vid. Thanks for putting your body on the line for us.
Saying that you are an absolute madman is a massive understatement. the things that you will go through to make a video for us XD. massive respect.
Your dedication to your channel is exemplary. Thanks to you and Pat for an immensely entertaining video. Thanks to you for all the hard work that you put into your channel. It is appreciated.
Great work guys! Last month I maintained mountain bikes for 3 days at a small youth camp. It was non-stop maintenance and repairs when I wasn't teaching them how to bike. My favorite memory - boy 1 spills it on a slow single track, boys 2-3 ride around him, boy 4 rides OVER the first bike! 🙄 All I could do is watch it happen.
Oh, Seth. The things you put yourself through for this community. Thank you for both the effort and the laughs.
The Ryobi clamp fans are awesome. I highly recommend them for their versatility.
This should be a regular segment on the channel! So fun to watch
Would be neat to see him do it on a (sub)urban trail near a rust-belt city. Then he'd be dealing with stuff for rim and backpedal brakes, and a lot more "classic" hand-me-down bikes still trucking it. More stuff to do with age and neglect rather than the beating from technical trails, and probably a lot more work with tires.
Brakes and headsets, brakes and headsets... Where did I put my bike at... Gonna check on those brakes and headset :D great work guys, loved the energy and dedication, I love to see Seth doing stuff for the community!
Super skilled mechanic!
Thanks for the content Seth! Got to meet you up there this day of the mobile repair shop at Berm Park and yes it was hot and yes I am impressed with how you got that thing both up and down without injury!! Great stuff!
I love this content! So wholesome and cool. If i saw u on the trail i would be so stoked!!!!
I would love to see more of these, so much fun! I'd even donate to the cause...
Such a great idea!!! I might do this in my city for fun!!!
Awesomeness!!!
Pat is a very happy Dude!
And competent!
Wholesome Content! Fantastic what youre doing for the community.
Great video and great idea !
Quick note : this bike stand is really not portable (just meant to be stored folded against a wall) and I think it alone is doing a lot of the throwing around.
Been seeing your videos for past 6 years.... Finally coming to states...definately meeting you is in my bucketlist!!
