Blew all my money on a mountain bike because of this guy. I don't regret a thing.

Hahaha likewise, I also blame Phill, Alex, Sam Pilgrim and the folks at GMBN

@@airborneleads1981 yep, add Brian from bkxc as well

What a spaz are you finished swinging from Seth's balls

I never knew 4nm and 6nm would be so different

It was! Also, that was my first peek at that particular park tool torque wrench. I've used a couple of other park tool torque wrenches but they were the traditional style. I'm going to order that one for myself.

And completely inaccurate and lever dependent

agreed!!

An even better hack would've been to explain newton-meters/pound-ft and use his handy-dandy fish scale.

Lol

Me irl

😅😂

DM Must have made just for him. I just purchased a bike from them and it didn't include any of that stuff... literally just 3 hex wrenches

@@hightower2537 Did you also pay $2000? cos if so thats a bit fucking cheeky.

@@hightower2537 the one he got was like 2500 so maybe its just on the higher end ones

Arif Prabowo sellout fuck unsubbed

Erik Ritchie sellout? Seth’s been partnered with DB for a while now, you do realise this is his livelihood? Most of the popular mtb KZfaqr’s have sponsors of some kind. Why so triggered?

@@andrewengland8021 yeah, Erik go triggered hard.

@@andrewengland8021 i think hes joking

Same here. My company sponsors "lunch & learn" series to help our eployees learn things for health, wealth, and career. This video inspired me to offer a short series starting with 10 minute kid & family bike fixes all the way up through shock maintenance. Several people have since thanked me for saving money instead of visiting the LBS for intimidating fixes that are actually simple when you see how to do them. Thanks, Seth!

Well, "mostly" family friendly. We do get the occasional cuss.

Reflectors?

It's to match the dork disc! damn government regulations probably.

Aaron D so true

Why does he leave them on?!? It’s technically his bike

It makes you faster if you have them on lmao jk

Makes me want to sell a multi tool with different depth holes on the side. You judge the torque by the deepest hole that left an imprint on your hand.

is this a challenge? :)

Don't forget the rock for installing the star-nut

He makes me cringe when he installs a star nut! How can you do that to a bike? :-)

@@Whitey100 I mean it does work :P I used a hammer though to install mine :D

he also says "forks" so you really can't take him seriously.

Yeah bois! Harbor Freight is back at it again!

Whats the difference?

@@antonioochoa5269 If you have either no idea what you're doing (which probably won't happen to someone who watched this vid) or if carbon is involved i'd say

just make sure they go down to the low Nm/in lbs that is needed for a bike. 4nm is 35in/lbs and i know my cheapie from HD doesn't go that low

There's an xtools torque wrench on chain reaction for well under 40 as well

Removing the valve core and pumping like crazy to seat it helps a lot

You don’t need a light bike to enjoy yourself! 🤘

as a young mountainbiker (15 yo) this is so inspiring to hear, I want to have your same stoke lever for riding when I'm 40, keep shredding!!

Mtb that are around pounds are what the pros use and are very pricey! I'm 39 and ride often. A hard tail maybe a bit lighter and you can ride a lot of stuff with the new geometry on them now. I have a orbea Loki! I have ridden black diamond trails with it! Yes I am sure the rear shock would help a lot but it's still doable on the hardtail! 27.5+ tire helps me a bunch! My point is there maybe other options to choose from! Do the research for what you need and get! Keep rocking the mtb everyday bro! Stay safe and have fun!

Wade, super stoked you're excited to ride! It can be so easy to get caught up on gear, but as long as your bike fits and is safe, it's a great start! I've ridden red / black trails on a rigid, steel framed 27.5+ tyre mountain bike without any issue - it wasn't comfy but it was a laugh! While you're getting into riding, just focus on your fitness and rehabilitating injuries and then when you feel your bike reaches its limit before you do, it becomes time to upgrade. Until then just enjoy it!!!

buy giant trance

😂😂

Never say never

Buy used

HAHAHAH

*realizes that i have no girlfriend/boyfirend* _dammit._

Petro~Jelly actually works, if you take it (the bike) apart after a few "wet rides", lolz - but really: take it BACK APART within 3~4 "hard rides", bwahaha; but seriously... Please take the sh*t BACK APART & use some real synthetic grease made just for bikes, or *_REALLY CHEAP $.99 cent 'brake job packs'_* of *anti-sieze* *anti-gall* or just "anti-freakin'-one piece of metal stuck to another' synthetic grease/lube... Trust me, you'll be happier if you just get some cheap anti-sieze, synthetic grease $.99 cent packs at the auto parts store. They're generally right up at the front counter where you check out. *_I personally have all the Park/Pedro's/ViperLube/WTF'ever, but you don't *_need_* all that! The auto parts store versions can't hurt ANYTHING on your Mountain Bike -- other than PLACES YOU SHOULDN'T PUT SLIPPERY CRAP on your d*mn bike. Peace Out.

Riding With The Reid's He already covered this topic in his older videos. I remember he made a video converting his High Roller tires on his Trek 4900 - good ol times when he had absolutely no sponsors at all. Later on I think he made 1 how-to video and 1 more that was pretty much a Slime advertisement video. You should really watch his first 30-40 videos, there is some pretty good shit in there.

@@stilianivanov3377 I've watched every single video Seth has put out since the one of him riding in his kitchen. I've also watched like 10,000 other videos. Sorry I can't remember them all.

I agree 100% on that. In the case that some tires are a real pain to seat(mostly new unmounted tires) if you already have sealant in the tire it would suck to put a tube in the help seat one side.

I also agree, but with some brands ( such as slime) you get little chunky bits that can get stuck in the valve. But for Stan’s sealant, this technique works great

Listen...there torque rating in Newton meters is about 15 ooga doogas

same

You don't need air suspension a normal 100 mil travel suspension is just fine

Just get any bike. It's heaven to be on them. All worries disappear.

I haven’t ridden enough of them to tell, but in general every company has sort of an equivalent competitor in that price range. Get something popular in your region since it’ll likely be suited to the terrain there. Also, you can leverage other riders’ knowledge for repair and setup tips.

hey hamish, if you want a full sus trail bike have a look at the calibre tripple b, it is £1400 from go out doors and is a solid bike, would recomend

I would recommend you something from canyon they make really good full sus bikes for a budget. I hope that I've been helpful

Commencal

Hey Hamish I'm from Australia so I'm not sure of how much the price difference between but I would recommend a focus vice it's solid and definitly worth it's value

Seth more than likely knows nothing about that bike. Do research on your own to figure out if it's a good bike for you. Seth doesn't know you and therefore can't make an accurate recommendation for a bike.

Max Thomas dude I already bought that bike, it's really nice even though I only had it for 5 days

What kind of 4.0?

I own a premier 4.0 never had problems with it. good all round bike highly reccomend it for the price 👍

Great bike choice.

Four Seasons that’s a good price!

i sorry that was my brother

When I was a kid, you bought a bike and they gave you some basic tools to take riding with you so you could fix it.

The bike in the video is very affordable

​@@Br3ndo1891 not as affordable as a used bike...

I made that mistake once before, found a inch wide crack halfway through my down-tube after buying my last bike. wasn't fun, turns out if you buy a used bike it voids Giants lifetime Frame warranty, so I had to pay for it out of my own pocket, @Cooper Ondersma

always test the bike on site. maybe ask the local bike shop mechanic if they can join you to check if the bike is ok overall

I am in College and working part time at a not so great paying job and both my wife and I are riding $3000+ full sus carbon bikes. I have multiple friends in the same senario. It's mostly about priorities. I could probably afford a nicer car or go out for more dates if I didn't bike, but we decided bikes we're more important for us. Thinking you have to be a dentist to buy a $2,000 bike is silly. $10,000 and you might have a point, but 2g is less then your average rider spends here in utah, and most bikers just have regular jobs. It's all about what you prioritize.
