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 .

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.

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'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

love the content. Former hammer thrower who has gotten into biking recently. Been following your stuff for a while. Keep killing it man.

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.

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.

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 !

Great video, great info. But I didn't see a lot of pointers towards things that can actually handle a bigger guy.

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.

Saw a bike I liked on Instagram so I KZfaqd bikes and this is the first video I came across... crazy thing is I'm like 15 minutes from this shop!

I weight 135kg+ and I can't see myself riding carbon stiff road bike 😂😂😂

Thank you for this video. I've been thinking for days about what kind of bike to purchase.

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

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...

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

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.

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?

Thanks awesome vid dude. You got me wanting to go check out some bikes.

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.

Love this content. I made an appointment to get my bike tuned up after this video.

What is the bike in the video???

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!

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.

Where I live, bike shops suck for tall men. There needs to be an online source.

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?

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 .

What’s the address on the one in Illinois 🤔

What is bike of yours?

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.

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.

Had to look up with a quickness when I heard Creve Coeur Park. I live a few minutes from there.

I'm 800 lb what what kind of bikes you think I should get

can someone pls let me know what bike that was when he was in the shop??

Didn’t really get any information from this video, sounded more like advertisement..

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.

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

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?

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!

I agree if you are going to buy a bike, get it a shop.

What’s the brand/name of the bike in the beginning?

I am looking at getting a Trek Marlin 5, I need something new, the bike I am riding now is like 15 years old.

I’m a tall guy and bought a random bike on kijiji and it’s too small now I’m here

What was the first bike called?

good advertisement vid

I’m 5’11 and 300 pounds can you give me recommendations for a hybrid bike?

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.

What was the bike in the video?

what brand of bike can carry a 300 pound guy?

Really enjoy the bike content. hitting the mtb park here tomorrow!

More of an ad than telling big guy what they need.

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?

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!😳

Matt. What model of your MTB S-Works is?

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.

Great video - what brand/model is the bike in the video? Thanks

Thanks for the video but I was hoping for more big guys facts to be helpful.

What kind of bike is that?

But what about weight limit? Like I need a bike that can hold my 350-360lb fat "butt"

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

How about a small run of HVIII Brand stuff for us bigger fellas??

What’s the best bike for someone 340 pounds?

Good stuff Matt👍

I’m 5’7”, and over 300. I destroyed bikes at 270.

Nice advertising for this bike shop but no real information about bikes.

Turn up the music! I kept hearing someone mumbling.

I'm at 400 pounds looking for a heavy duty bike to handle weight anything you recommend?

what are those khaki colored shorts youre wearing?

Me like in 1000 reach 🎉

Buy once cry once

👊👊

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

Those dudes are super annoying unwatchable
