Hey Seth, great video as always. Being a first responder, I have some recommendations for you. I like that you have a first aid kit, that being said you should beef up your supplies. You should carry a tourniquet (you can strap it to your bike), some compressed gauze (preferably one with a hemostatic agent) and maybe even some chest seals (or petroleum gauze). I don't think bandaids and tweezers will be enough for the kind of riding you do. A lot of the times you are riding, deep in the woods. Help may take a long time to get to you. I like where your heads at though.
I learned that one the hard way. I wore down everything so much it was about as much to get a new Ribble as to replace everything. When the chain broke all the cogs were like sharks teeth.
You can also put Teflon tape underneath your brake handlebar clamps. This will keep them tight but will allow them to rotate upon impact. (tried and tested on dirt bikes for brake and clutch perches)
@@bikerjon8934 Believe me, I know. I've had my share of concussions, broken ribs, broken arm and a difficult bit to shave on my chin where I landed with a front brake emergency stop.
A trick we used on our dirt bike levers was to warp Teflon tape around the bar, then re-install the lever. Helps the level spin around the bar with breaking when you crash.
Greetings from Black Mountain, brother! When I heard "shop in Asheville, NC" I had to drop you a line or two. Just found your channel yesterday and have powered about all the way through your videos/playlists! Thank you for what you do. I'm a n00b looking to get back into the sport after a decade or so and you are a real, honest inspiration. Cheers!
For the seatpost plug, covering the bar end in electrical tape works much better. You'll find it's a very specific fit - once you hit too many to fit, one single unwrap makes a beautiful perfect fit.
Another good hack is a make-shift chain guide/tensioner. Take a piece of garden hose about 2 inches long and poke some holes in it for zip ties. Then guide your chain through it a zip tie in to your bike. Love your videos Seth!
Kickass vid as ALWAYS Seth! So glad you're back and all moved in and making vids again buddy. Hope everything went smoothly for ya and cannot wait to see the vids and series ya have planned coming up for us. You are the BEST!
I just started watching you about 2 weeks ago and I must say your videos are very informative and enjoyable, and even hysterical at times. So, thank you for all that you do and I'll be back for more! 👍✌️
awesome as always Seth! I got one hack that I did on my tubeless tire, I've used a tiny cut piece of my wife's dishwasing sponge (yellow foam) to plug a hole on my tire instead of buying a tubeless repair kit. It did a pretty good job sealing the hole as a repair kit would do.:)
Man!!!! Hands down u do the best videos and hahah dope content! Creative stuff that really invites people to the bike world but useful for the ones that are already in... THANKS A LOT
A couple of people have said this before, but hydration pack cleaning! Baking soda is good, but then hot water and lemon juice (1 cup of water, 1 tsp of lemon juice) will take care of most bacteria in the water bladder. There's also a technique for cleaning the hose with paracord too.
When placing a sticker, start from the center and flatten out the surfaces in a circular motion. This will prevent any air from being trapped, and you'll have a fresh sticker placed.
Great Hacks, great videos! There is a way to clean mold from water bottles. Get a product use to clean bathrooms (especially to take mold out) and put the bottle caps submerged for 20 min. It is incredible how clean they get. Love the channel! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
WARNING FOR THE HACK OF SNAPPING THE DERALLEUR/HANGER if you have a full suspension bike, you have to pump your shock to the max you can, because of chaingrowth, that way you will be able to get the chain short enough in order to not drop as many chains, and since there will be no sag and no suspension, it wont stress the chain as much as if there were suspension movement, therefor no chain growth. You can check the effect of chaingrowth pretty easy, take you shock off, and put in single speed mode, you will see that the rear part of the bike gets supported by the chain, instead of just diving in as if you were deep in your travel.
Best bike hack vid yet. For the brake block I use a piece of cardboard. Thicker and more dense to prevent the pistons from moving and everyone has cardboard. Just fold it up and jam it in. Wait that sounded wrong.
Zip ties and tape are essential emergency items to have in hydration pack. A few extra bolts like crank, disc and etc. If you are on multi day trip an extra hanger for rear derailleur could save you. Have used all these over last 20 plus years👍
Ordered one of those flasks and cage. Added to " my wish list " through your link and then ordered a day later. Hopefully you get the credit. Been watching a crap ton of your videos. Loving this channel.I am a motorcyclist and mountain biker, and dieing for this winter to be cover. (NJ...ugh)
Another great video Seth. I gotta hack for you, it's this kitchen device called a funnel. It makes pouring liquids into a small opening easier. 😂👍🏽 love ya Seth. Keep up the good work
On dirtbikes we use teflon pipe tape between the brake lever clamps and the handlebar and tighten like you did. This allows the clamp to move without scoring the bar. We also use bark busters to keep our hands from being smashed into the bar when running into trees.
a super good hack to clean hydration packs is using denture cleanser tablets. you can get them anywhere for pretty much no money whatsoever . simply put 1 tablet per liter water , fill it up with water and leave it for a couple of hours. then flush it out properly with all the dead bacteria +it tastes like fresh mint
If you put a rounded plug on the end of your seat post, and bring a little lubricant with you,’you and your friends can have some great fun deep in the woods........ it happened to me.....
This is gold Jerry, gold! I sort of want the flask thing just to tweak the uber serious "MY KOMS! GET F OUT MY WAY" crowd. Nothing against strava but there's a line between metrics and just being a weenie.
CAMEBACK-HACK: In order to prevent any smell and keep it perfectly sanitized, I use HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (5-12%). Fill it in a spray-bottle and when you finished your ride, empty the water and spray ~10x into the water-reservoir. Then close it with the lid (with little air inside only). Store it away. When you use it next time, just rise it with water once and then fill it. You can store it basically for 2-3 months without any mold or smell. Due to the H2O2, it will stay sanitized. I had this idea when I bough my Camelback and it is now 2.5 years old. I've never cleaned it any further. Actually it does not smell and is perfectly clear and clean.
I've stopped mountain biking because of knee trauma many years ago and never returned to it. Began watching your videos yesterday and tommorow I'm buying a new bike.
I just toss my hydration pack in the freezer after every ride. Don't even bother cleaning it. Just empty and freeze. I'll rinse it if I've used Powerade powder. Really impressed with your hacks though, I can't believe you're still coming up with such creative and practical stuff at this point :)
RML11 I bought a yard sale bike once for $20, and when swapping to riser bars, I realized someone stashed a couple of twenties in the bars. I got double my money back!

Hey seth, very useful hacks! About making the mtb singlespeed, just pay attention about chain growth on full suspension bikes.
I learned that one the hard way. I wore down everything so much it was about as much to get a new Ribble as to replace everything.

And you can drill couple of holes and turn the seat post into a bowl.
A hollow crank sealed with a bar end is also amazing for that purpose ;-)
and you can make your own bong from the hose.

freezing your hydration bladder also works. i just rinse it with cleaned water and freeze. it also chills the water for your next ride
