Did you find these tips helpful?

@Nothing-Just_Nothing-8888 Ай бұрын

Yes

@AdventureRich Ай бұрын

I felt personally attacked by the helmet section, so yes I'll be making some immediate changes 😅

Not really! But if you send me a new helmet I will be an advertisement for GMBN in China c'monnn GMBN

I find falling off and dislocating my shoulder helps. Means i don’t have to use the kit for weeks!

@ryanmichels2981 Ай бұрын

Pro tip!

@JeffMTBinVA Ай бұрын

Store cleaned hydration bladders and hose in the freezer. They are almost impossible to completely dry out and this keeps them bacteria and mold free.

@alanlau4941 Ай бұрын

Treat your helmet like Gremlins! No water or light and never feed them after midnight!

That's BS don't listen to this guy I got 5 more helmets riding in the rain!!! 🎉

I still have my bike and kit from the mid 90s, still use them often when I feel like a retro ride. Except helmet, use newer ones for sure.

@RyanAlexanderBloom Ай бұрын

I’ve got kit I bought in 2009 on sale at Kohl’s … still wear it almost every ride. My hydration pack is from 2003 at the latest. Not the reservoir, but the rest of the pack.

I love the Camelback Podium bottles because every single piece of the lids comes apart for easier cleaning. The mud guard for the mouthpiece is killer too!

My favorite TLD jersey has a strip of microfiber fabric sewn inside of it at the bottom hem for cleaning glasses. It’s a nice little touch that’s come in handy. Cedar shoe trees or cedar chips in a fabric bag work great for controlling odor from shoes as well!

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

I buy boxes of ballistic or protective spectacles from Bollé & Uvex safety. One less thing to care about, plus I'd argue they are safer than most sports glasses...

@arnaudFbr Ай бұрын

my helmet's 8 years old, i've crashed an unsafe amount of times with it, and i still wear it. i'm broke af, but at least it's lasting me a while

Shoes I tend to clean the innersoles with something like muc off foam fresh to get rid of any smells.

@0T13 Ай бұрын

Good info, but just wanted to point out that once your waterproof shoes start letting water in it cannot be "reproofed". It has a similar liner as a Gore-Tex jacket. Once a seam or a hole as been worn, there is no repairing it. The reproofing you were talking about will only add an outer layer of DWR repellance that won't last long on shoes and is mostly pointless due to how fast it will come off. A cheaper alternative is to use normal bike shoes but use waterproof socks that are much cheaper and can be changed out once they start letting water in.

I put my Fox helmet liner in the washing machine like Neil recommended and it got destroyed! How about a new free lid GMBN??

@Varaxis Ай бұрын

I also find that washing my stuff makes it age more. Rather just wipe clean and wipe dry after use, rather than go through some deep bathing ritual.

@arnaudFbr Ай бұрын

literally the FIRST thing anna says is "wash them by hand, don't put them in the washing machine as it can destroy them"

@campbellclark3458 Ай бұрын
