You didn’t talk much about big guy points it was mostly on why buy from a shop , I would of liked too see more of recommendations on bikes or what to look out for .
That’s what the shop you’ll buy from does. There are about 700 different little things
@@matthewpvincent Nah, bro. Lazy video. Disliked. Bye.
@@Galactusz007 It is a generic video nothing about a big guy buying a bike. Thats the only problem with this video.
Video should have been labeled why you should go to a bike shop if you are looking for a bike. Would have preferred a video actually providing three tips and explaining the why for those tips for big guys. You know, explain why you would choose a specific frame material and its price vs durability for big guys, wheel width - wider tires can support weight better as well as traction, etc. Things that would be nice to know before we go to a bike shop. Came here to learn something and got nothing out of it. Thanks.
@@Galactusz007 Exactly. Lazy video. Clickbait title.
Like Matt I was a 300lb HG/strongman and I now I'm dropping the weight using mountain biking.
At 6'1, 275 and love to ride downhill park I agree with what is said in this video and here are a few extra thoughts from heavier rider..
1. My knees are not great. Riding standing up is hard so investing in a dropper post helped greatly when transitioning pedaling to downhill
2. Upgrade components first. Powerful legs break things!
3. Upgrade as you can afford but not to the point to where it only advantage is a lighter bike. At 275lbs what's a lb or 2?!
4. Embrace the fun and forget about being competitive out the gate. ... more of a personal win for me.
Great points man
Dope I'm also a bout 290 6'2 just order a giant stance 2 2021 hopefully it works out good
Thanks for the pointers
Number 2 is key here. You are going to break things on a gentle bike path that other people are only going to break with hard use.
Im struggling here. im 6'1 and 280 but have super short legs and a 28" inseam. Makes shopping for a bike really tough!
@@ArizonaMMJ A good local bike shop should be able to fit you well but suggest playing with different combo's of frames sizes to dropper post lengths to find the right fit. Good luck man and enjoy the journey
Thank you for this video. I've been thinking for days about what kind of bike to purchase.
love the content. Former hammer thrower who has gotten into biking recently. Been following your stuff for a while. Keep killing it man.
Dude that’s awesome trying to share some info as I can
@@matthewpvincent Just know its appreciated. I am a photographer/videographer if you guys ever need anything. I did a lot of work for FTS.
I bought a hybrid, Giant Escape 2, and I really like it. The quality on a decent bike is great and you don't have to worry about those little crappy problems like brakes rubbing or slipping gears that happens with cheap bikes.
I had one for a year while I was building up my own frame, that escape was awesome
Thanks awesome vid dude. You got me wanting to go check out some bikes.
You should
Dude, loving your content. Got back into building up my garage gym, lifting and riding and you show up in my feed. Party! PS - good LBS to service your bike for the life of that bike you purchase. No one does that around me!
Love this content. I made an appointment to get my bike tuned up after this video.
Yessss more bikes fam!
Thank you Matt for this video … your video helped my chose and pick up a new hobby … when you said “this is not the first bike you want to get” for your S works, it triggered my curiosity, it didn’t know anything about bikes … I then did my research … long story short, a year later I am riding a stumpy alloy upgraded with X01 stuff and enjoying the MTB trails … MTB for life !
That’s awesome man I live hearing that
I'm a big too,(275lbs) i bought my road bike last year the quality/perfomance gap between a good road bike and a wallmart bike is so big!! Love mine! Love riding. A good one will last you years i can vowe this info after a year
That’s exactly it man. It’s a giant gap in quality
Where did you buy it from??
Great video, great info. But I didn't see a lot of pointers towards things that can actually handle a bigger guy.
6”7 , 220 pounds here, im a 20 year old that will need to ride to work about 8-9 miles in the mornings through city streets like avenues and city building blocks and stuff , any recommendations as to what kind of bike I should get , my budget right now is 300-400 dollars .
Big boys need to know that they need to spend money on a solid quality wheel set. Hubs like DT Swiss 350’s with low 24 POE are stronger than the high points of engagement ones. Hand built with good spokes and rims wide enough to support your weight. That’s one of the most important things a Clyde needs to know when learning about bikes.
No doubt about that.
Really enjoy the bike content. hitting the mtb park here tomorrow!
Thanks dude
Hello, new subscriber here. I ask a question about bike size. I was given a Schwinn Sidewinder with 26" tires. I am 6 foot 1 210lbs. Obviously the bike does not fit me. Riding position is uncomfortable and maneuverability suffers. Is there any value in attempting to adjust the bike (even buying new/different parts) so as to make the bike fit me? Is this a task that has any chance of turning out well? If the answer is "no" I will just fix all issues with the bike (gear selection issues) and donate it (hate to donate something like a bike that does not work right, besides being unsafe the person that gets it, likely a child will be disappointed.) I am not going to be riding much on trails so a light weight frame is important to me. I ask for suggestions regarding a bike manufacture/model to consider priced under 500.00 used. Thanks.
any advice on good mountain bike for traveling from state to state through trailers parks, rocky roads, hard to ride places, with trailer attach to it... looking to buy soon for long journey trip any advice Dear brethrens under $600
Saw a bike I liked on Instagram so I TH-camd bikes and this is the first video I came across... crazy thing is I'm like 15 minutes from this shop!
That’s awesome Nathan is awesome
I have a mongoose walmart 21 speed mountain bike. I also weigh 350LBS and go through tubes in a week or so because the spokes start to protrude and puncture the tube because I'm so heavy. I thought about tubeless, but what happens if the spokes work their way loose again and then let air out of the tires? Does anyone have a recommendation for a new rear wheel that could prevent my predicament?
You have to buy a quality bike and equipment to handle your weight
can someone pls let me know what bike that was when he was in the shop??
I still recall watching your bro and Mark Bell teasing you about your bike shop back in the day haha
Bikes for big boiiiis all day man!
What’s the brand/name of the bike in the beginning?
How crazy is it that I searched for "bikes for big guys" and find a video talking about a local shop? I dunno if you'll see this comment since the video is a couple of years old, but thanks for making it, I'm gonna go check them out.
Nate is rad go check those dudes out
Hey bro I need help looking for a bike that I can take off roading do a few jumpz but I can also take it out to the streetz and I'm big guy weighing around 3:20 thanks for your recommendations.
Go talk to a bike shop and let them help you
Im about 390lbs and want to ride a bike to get exercise and lose the weight while not beating up my hips and joints. Do they have bikes for guys my weight?
Dude check out buffalo bicycles great heavy duty rig
I'm 6'2 290lbs and I bought a bike at target that fell apart 😅when I rode it after 3 weeks the pedals broke and the wheel frame twisted,got any advice?
Watch the video and follow the suggestions
What was the first bike called?
Great video - what brand/model is the bike in the video? Thanks
Giant defy
Had to look up with a quickness when I heard Creve Coeur Park. I live a few minutes from there.
man i'm 6'6 and 300 lbs. it isn't easy trying to find a bicycle frame big enough for someone my height, much less how heavy i am lol
You totally can. It may not be high performance but hard tail mtn bike is great and plenty strong.
@@matthewpvincent i am 5'7 & 275 lbs, can I go for fat bike??
I'm 6'4 and 365lbs, I've got a merida big 9 60. Hit easy trails with small drops and jumps and has held up awesome. I got impatient and hit the trails before losing the weight I had planned on losing before hitting the rough stuff and super surprised I haven't broken anything. Only upgrade I did was alloy pedals as I've melted plastic ones.
You sound like a beast
@@matthewpvincent I'm 240 lbs. lift hard and do mma. I wanted something else to help cardio and had bad luck with pinch flats on a hard tail.. So riding hard and being big I would suggest full suspension if possible financially
What do you recommend for a 6"1 dude with short legs and is 280lbs? I find my weird long torso is hard to fit.
Probably an XL SIZED BIKE. Min budget $700
@@matthewpvincent the issue im having is my shortass legs make XL bikes really tough for me. I have a 28" inseam
Definitely didn't answer the question big guys have WHATS THE BEST BIKE FOR BIG GUYS........ HARDTAIL OR SUSPENSION WHAT BRAND WHAT METAL CARBON OR ALUMINUM
All that depends on the type of riding and budget you have.
Great video, Matt. Another video that might be helpful is a "all the other shit you might need getting into cycling"😂 I made the mistake of spending too much on the bike and didn't account for tools, pump, helmet, maintenance stuff, etc.
Good call man
What is the bike in the video???
I’m 5’11 and 300 pounds can you give me recommendations for a hybrid bike?
Anything over $700
@@matthewpvincent no cheaper ones or exact one so i go on offer up not trying to break the bank
Sir/Ma'am - I'm 6'0 and 360. I was in the same boat as you a few years ago. Forget Walmart, Target, and the big box stores. While I ride a Specialized Turbo Vado eBike, might I suggest taking a look at SE Bikes? They are built robust and have a higher weight limit. Plus they have 36-40 hole spokes. I'd suggest a larger tire like a 27+. I was strongly considering the SE Bikes but decided on an eBike to assist with hills. I wish you success in finding a bike.
What is bike of yours?
Matt. What model of your MTB S-Works is?
I'm 6'4, 350lbs, I want to get into biking, someone gave me one barely used, the bike itself is for tall people, but how can I make it support me?
Better wheels and seat post help.
I'm 800 lb what what kind of bikes you think I should get
Your couch lol
You'll never see a 25" frame bike in a box store. At 6'5", going to my local bike shop was the best thing I ever did. I ride it so much more that my knees are grazing the handlebars.
im 6'4, 350lbs, someone gave me a bike thats for tall people, but i don't know if it could support me, how would i fix that, have no idea on what to do
@@MizuSenshi86 I’m 6”3 what bike did you get i dont know what size either
What was the bike in the video?
What’s the address on the one in Illinois 🤔
Good stuff Matt👍
Thanks Bob
I am looking at getting a Trek Marlin 5, I need something new, the bike I am riding now is like 15 years old.
Hi,I have several Trek Marlins at my house and they are great for light trail and riding around the neighborhood. If you are upgrading from a 15-year-old bike, you are in for a great surprise. The ride on these newer bikes are smooth and having disc brakes is a super nice upgrade. Be sure to buy the bike from a shop so that you can get fitted.
You provided a lot of info for someone just getting into a bike. But never mentioned anything about what makes a bike good for a bigger guy.
I didn’t mean that as an insult. Just saying.
Sure but the advice of double walled wheels and frame material all comes down to budget. Working with a professional to fit you on a bike for you is the way to do it.
I weight 135kg+ and I can't see myself riding carbon stiff road bike 😂😂😂
What’s the best bike for someone 340 pounds?
One hat you will ride consistently. There isn’t a heavy duty line of bikes out there. Go talk to a shop and have them help you out.
FAT TIRE back LOL
Where I live, bike shops suck for tall men. There needs to be an online source.
I agree if you are going to buy a bike, get it a shop.
Always man.
What kind of bike is that?
Giant
Love the bike content, im a former Olympic weightlifter/highland games fat guy. Just bought my first real road bike, and it's the cats ass.
Yeah dude that’s rad what did you score
@@matthewpvincent I got a Trek Domane AL 2, finna put some miles on her this summer.
what are those khaki colored shorts youre wearing?
His HVIII Brand shorts
good advertisement vid
what brand of bike can carry a 300 pound guy?
It’s not a brand it’s more what level of bike. Go to a shop and talk to them.
that a nova scotia crest on ur arm?
Vincent
Thanks for the video but I was hoping for more big guys facts to be helpful.
I'm at 400 pounds looking for a heavy duty bike to handle weight anything you recommend?
Head to a shop and talk to them. They will get you on something
I was looking to get a bicycle to start exercising and losing weight. buying one of these bikes will definitely do that. wrong kind of wait! I’m going to be losing though these bikes. I will be shredding money. 👎🏻 breaking the bank!😳
Weight.^
How about a small run of HVIII Brand stuff for us bigger fellas??
Quality in products falls off on blanks after 3xl so I’m not sacrificing quality
I bought a mountain bike from a box store when I was 440lbs. The very first hill I attempted, I stood up on the pedals and gave it a few pumps and there was a sudden "bang" and the pedals spun freely. I thought I broke the chain, but I glanced down and it was still there. I sheared the rear axle, twisted it in half...
I’m a tall guy and bought a random bike on kijiji and it’s too small now I’m here
I am a 400lbs fat bastard what kind of Mountain bike do you recommend?
Watch the video and go talk to a shop.
🤣🤣🤣
But what about weight limit? Like I need a bike that can hold my 350-360lb fat "butt"
Go talk to a shop. They can help you get sorted
I didn't finish watching this because you didn't stay on topic to what you titled this video. I just wanted straight up list of what a bigger guy should look for in a bike if he's just getting back into riding. I'm just commenting to hopefully give you some constructive criticism.
Right on. My advice is go and speak to a shop. Know your budget and the riding you want to do. Let professionals help you get what will be best for you.
@@matthewpvincent Thanks.
3:35 No grown-up should never consider a Wal-Mart bike for themselves. Sure go to WM for your 7 year olds bike that he'll outgrow in 3 years. The bike may even make it that long, but don't count on it.
I ghetto-financed my XC hardtail and it's still a really nice bike...all premium components that all told probably cost me over $2k (keep in mind I stopped upgrading 8 years ago). If I were buying a bike today and had say $3000 to spend and could get a alloy frame FS bike with all top-tier components or a carbon FS bike with mid-low tier kit...I'd definitely go for the alloy bike. Sure carbon is lighter and stronger, but not enough to justify the price imo. But then, if the sun rises and sets for you on the trail.... get whatever you want. You only live once and you can make more money.
Hi I am obese women and I want to bike on trails but I don't know what would I buy and I only want around 100$-200$
There are not going to be any great options. Maybe check Craig’s list and get a beach cruiser style bike from Walmart.
Didn’t really get any information from this video, sounded more like advertisement..
An advertisement for what? Bikes? I guess so then.
MATT VINCENT Nah for that shop tho and those cheap ass bikes.
I’m 5’7”, and over 300. I destroyed bikes at 270.
Cool work.
Turn up the music! I kept hearing someone mumbling.
👊👊
Thanks man
More of an ad than telling big guy what they need.
Me like in 1000 reach 🎉
Buy once cry once
I clicked this video because i thought we were talking about big guys... i'm 6'7 300lbs. lets talk about big guys man come on
Same rules apply my dude
Nice advertising for this bike shop but no real information about bikes.
Sorry for that
Wtf
Chro Mo steel frames are twice stronger than Alu, slightly heavier. , Aluminium tends to crack on welds after time, is soft, scratches are deep, and is hard to repair. Steel is for life, strong, easy to weld or even replace a tube if you have to. . Double Suspension bike is mainly for DownHill, nothing else. I say -Stay away from bikes with suspension, get bigger tires instead , unless you are riding downhill. Fat Bikes are awesome, I love my Surly
I disagree but that’s cool too. To each their own. Ton of variety of bikes.
Fat tires have too much rolling resistance. Total fad job. I laugh when I see them.
Those dudes are super annoying unwatchable
