Besides of the reward, it's nice to see a workshop facing with real world problems of a worn bike, like seized seatpost and worn bearings. All maintenance videos on gmbn tech are gold, but service brand new parts is like cheating😅 ...not talking about "old standards" like 142mm hubs, that are still a thing on most of our bikes😂
Great work! I almost bought that exact bike back in 2017, its nice to see someone beating the hell out of an older bike rather than getting a new one every couple years. 👍
Sam and Doddy you guys rock!! Sam using that caliper to make sure the space between the brake lever and handle bar grips are the same distance, tells you that Sam is a very good mechanic. Hugh, you deserve that make over on your bike. True mountain biker! More videos like this please!! Cheers! From Canada! 😊😊😊
@gmbn tech well done this guy is the perfect candidate, someone who rides and rides hard and it doesnt matter the specs of the bike, would love an update on how hes liking it. i bet the first few rides he cant stop smiling!
Thank You Doddy. Not just for this heart-warmer, but for all the helpful and entertaining content you've provided with GMBN. After around 7 years away from cycling, last summer I completed my first ever build from parts and joined the modern mountain bike world (my last mtb was in the 90's!) with a 2019 Trek Procaliber 8. Your videos were absolutely intstumental to me then and they continue to be my 'go-to' source whenever I'm in need of help or inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, insight and personality with us, GMBN will certainly not be the same without you, and Good Luck in your new chapter. Much love and gratitude.
YES the OVERHAULING show idea, idk if all the UK riders know the OVERHAULING show from the US but that would be such a great idea. Obviously they would need to get some more manufacturers on board but it would awesome. Family/friends picks a hard working dad, son, daughter, friend ( person that loves riding) but doesn't have the time or money to upgrade. They make it seem like the bike was stolen or something broke at the shop and secretly its being fixed up without them knowing.
One of my all time favourite videos. Would love to see a monthly surprise upgrade series. Really made my day. well done GMBN and Doddy (we will miss you).
Good pick on who got the tune up! Looking at the way the build was worn, could tell the story checked out and that the dude is a shredder.. And his reaction upon receiving it was gold🎉 Vids like this are awesome, both as maintenance tutorials and a good “aww yeah cool” fuzzy kind of sensation. Glad Doddy got around to make one of these before he moved on! Legend.🤘😤
This is the content we love. Well done to all involved, particularly to Doddy, Shimano and the Trailhead shop. Stoked for the guy who I'm sure will be shredding even harder now.👊👏🏻
Nice work, Doddy. And what a way to finish up with GMBN. You've given loads of great advice and good cheer to us over your time on the channel, this is a bit of icing on the cake.
That truly was amazing to watch, It's good to see a great bunch of people helping somebody out, I live in the United States and You fine lads in the UK are simply a great bunch of people.
Thanks so much Andrew Dodd. As a very long time viewer of GMBN and GMBN Tech, I have loved your work. Your segments have taught so much. Your personality and deep knowledge shines through. I wish you all the best in your future adventures. Thank you ever so much.
Amazing. This is what biking is all about. I just replaced virtually all the same things you did on my bike minus the wheels and the new bike feel is sooooo good. He’ll be stoked!
What a joy Doddy to be able to do this and I am sure this is something that will influence Sam as a young adult and something he will remember all his years.
Going out with a bang, eh Doddy? That was awesome! Congratulations Hugh, and huge thanks to Sandy, Sam, Shimano, SUNringlé, and the GMBN videography and edit teams for a great video. Cheers from Canada...
Would love to see more of this work. Fresh bearings make a bike feel brand-new and without spending too much. Shame Doddy is leaving but all the best for him!
Wow! I think I’ve watched every video Doddy has made and… 1. This was top three 2. I am going to visit that bike shop on my next trip across the pond 3. We ALL hate to see Doddy leave, but Anna is doing great 4. Sorry Sandy, but Sam would be great for GMBN Tech!
Very bittersweet. Its a great swan song but its also a reminder of what makes you such a great presenter. All of your enthusiasm and passion always shine through. Good luck to you and Dustin and your beautiful wife❤
Very Cool to see PNW handlebar, grips, dropper post and lever, pedals, and stem (w/gopro mount) too, that's a great (small) components company, amazing quality/value! What a great surprise (pretty much a new bike) for Hugh!
Great video Doddy. I will miss seeing you on GMBN. Hope whatever your future plans are involve more videos on TH-cam. It's great hearing you talk about bikes and educate us all. Wishing you all the best.😊
@Doddy brilliant video keep up the work , was lovely meeting you at the Malvern classic this weekend, hope you and family had a good time watching the little rippers . Samuel. GMBN
Amazing video Doddy what a great thing to do. Awesome that Sandy and the team wanted to help 👊 What an awesome project to do just before you leave GMBN Tech . Great stuff #GMBN Tech 👊🤘
i always loved that give-away spirit...please,please make a series of this !! visit different european bike shops, and shimano as sponsor - lets goo ! ! ! ^^
What a great surprise! Not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous because my bike could use a similar makeover, but very happy for Hugh ✌🏼he seemed stoked, enjoy the "new" bike mate 🤙🏼
The 2017 giant reign was also my first mountain bike (although mine was the carbon version, second hand), an absolutely fantastically fun bike to ride. Loved it to bits and to this day I still wouldn't even consider about getting rid of it.
Great Video. Thanks Doddy for all the tips,tricks & all the fantastic info and know how. You have really helped alot. Would be nice to know your final thoughts on KIS. Success in new job.
Great job I have a giant with that overdrive headset is their a replacement for it to run a headset so I can use a different fork and stem right now it’s a 11/4 I rather have a 11/8 for more options
More videos like this please!!! I love to see a humble and regular guy being rewarded with the renewal of his bike.
Or do you want upgrades? 🕵️

Is Doddy leaving?
@@andrec.136it is his last vid in gmbn
@@andrec.136 Yes, unfortunately.
@@Paulklampeeps No, not the last video, fortunately.
@@andrec.136 He is unfortunately. He is going to work with a bike manufacturer.

Doddy is such a legend and his desire to do this video shows through in the results. Good on ya gents and can't wait to see what's next for Mr.Doddy.
Cheers Hugh, Sandy,and Andrew! Enjoy the ride and happy trails from Texas!
Probably the best video you’ve made. Respect to the shop and I hope we all support them from now. Felt quite emotional myself
I am so happy for that guy….when he saw his bike i felt so happy too….thank you for this project….keep going guyzz🤌🏽
Awesome work Doddy and the lads. Things like this is the fundamentals of mountain biking. such a humbling sport.
Way to go out with a bang,Doddy! Well done. Nice to see Hugh's reaction!

Also, would love to see a video on GMBN of Hugh shredding it with Blake and the boys. (If the humble man is up for it, of course.)
Just imagine getting this! Unreal! Made me cry! Thank you guys for your humbling work on his bike!
this is some content that took allot of effort and it really shows
Would love to see more of this work. Fresh bearings make a bike feel brand-new and without spending too much. Shame Doddy is leaving but all the best for him!

3. We ALL hate to see Doddy leave, but Anna is doing great

Wow what a way to pay back a customer .. Class act Doddy and Sam & trailheads LBS . Would be cool to see Hugh shredding his new rig ?
Great video, and Doddy elevates any video he’s involved in, watching his tech videos was a part of helping me getting back into mountain biking
Very bittersweet. Its a great swan song but its also a reminder of what makes you such a great presenter. All of your enthusiasm and passion always shine through. Good luck to you and Dustin and your beautiful wife❤
Amazing job to the whole crew and fantastic idea Doddy!! What a way to head out on.
Thank you for so many years of great videos!!!
Thank you for not throwing ads throughout the video. It was awesome feeling immersed in this video
Wow, made me smile. Take care Doddy!! Hopefully we'll see you again. I've been reading your stuff on MBUK since 20 odd years.
Very Cool to see PNW handlebar, grips, dropper post and lever, pedals, and stem (w/gopro mount) too, that's a great (small) components company, amazing quality/value! What a great surprise (pretty much a new bike) for Hugh!
Phenomenal job, team! Wow.

I love it when people get together & make someone precious bike come back to life. ❤🚴♂️
Nice Doddy! 🎉👍🏻 what a way to give back. The collaboration is what it's all about.
This video was cool! What you did is inspiring. I hope you have the opportunity to do more of these. I will definitely watch!
Resources well spent. Nice to see the work being appreciated too!
VERY nice!
Awesome video! Love to see the reaction at the reveal, but also appreciated to see much of the technical details of the work being done.
Great refresh Doddy! Love my PNW kit too 😎 The only thing missing is a Charger 2.1 damper upgrade on the Yari 😉
I think shock and fork are on par rn
this is the best "pimp my ride". GMBN should do more of this. This is spectacular.
Wow what a cool thing to do for someone. That's what the bike community is about. Paying it forward.
Wow, talk about a gift! Great video and Doddy is the perfect guy for this.
Awesome Doddy..his expression said it all!
Class act doddy! The love in the mtb community is the strongest in any sport! Sad to hear your leaving all the best king doddy!
Amazing. Love that you guys are giving back like this. Amazing, made my day watching this :)

Wow- emotional, great to see - well done Doddy, and all involved, made that guy’s day- keep this feature coming 👍
What a great surprise! Not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous because my bike could use a similar makeover, but very happy for Hugh ✌🏼he seemed stoked, enjoy the "new" bike mate 🤙🏼
Would love to follow up to see how he shreds, his favorite trails, features, a bit back story on how he started MTB etc. Great job everyone
Very nice. Well done to all involved!
Great job guys! Nice to see people help out a fellow biker.
The 2017 giant reign was also my first mountain bike (although mine was the carbon version, second hand), an absolutely fantastically fun bike to ride. Loved it to bits and to this day I still wouldn't even consider about getting rid of it.
Just awesome!!!! You will be missed Doddy.

Well done Andrew! Best wishes on your journey! 😀💥👊🏻💥
Well done Doddy and crew. You, sir, will sadly be missed.
Am I right, when I say, that I have seen the Trailhead- workshop before in a Dream Build video from Gee Milner?
Great Video. Thanks Doddy for all the tips,tricks & all the fantastic info and know how. You have really helped alot. Would be nice to know your final thoughts on KIS. Success in new job.
You can feel Daddy's excitement to work on this bike through the screen.
Finally a video like this. Such a great video, more like this please
Great job I have a giant with that overdrive headset is their a replacement for it to run a headset so I can use a different fork and stem right now it’s a 11/4 I rather have a 11/8 for more options
