Few more? - To make holes through rubber like that, a drill is hard work, as you saw. A set of hollow punches you hit with a hammer is a much easier method, and they're cheap. Good for leather or fabric, too. - An old inner tube makes a good cover for a chain so you can lock your bike (or other things) up without being scratched. - The "soft jaws" for a vice trick also works for bike racks etc, sometimes the hard plastic can trash stickers or even paint if they're particularly aggressive. - If you cut out the valve for one of the hacks, throw it in your toolpack etc. A spare valve core can be handy, and you've just got a free one. - Cheap, thin wrenches (like for pedals) or allen keys are nicer to use with an inner tube for padding on your hand. - a small section of tube ziptied both ends is a good way to carry spare bolts or other small spares, MUCH tougher than a little plastic bag.

I have one for you. If you use quick link in your chain and you have to dislink that with no tools you can use piece of cord or your shoelace to do that. Simply navigate your cord around quicklink and pull inwards, that will dislink your chain and even keep that in place. I figuret that out the other day on trail, quite usefull I have to say.

My old dad showed me that if you warm up the rubber by putting it in hot water, it makes it soft and pliable and easyer to fit. When it cools, it shrinks and hardens making a nice neat job. A piece of innertube rubber and some magnetic tape can go inside the jaws of a vice to grip and protect delicate components.

About to try the dropper post boot, that's awesome! Also you dont need to be precise to do the "split tube" tubeless set up. Just cut the seam opposite the valve all the way around (split the tube), mount it as shown, but leave the excess to hang out and trim it (carefully, with an exacto, or razor blade) after the tire is mounted and inflated. Works like a charm.

Not really. Obviously it depends on your budget, but that bike is very basic with poor quality parts. Entry level bikes from respected manufacturers start at around £600. Cube offer the best components for the price imo. I'd honesty say that if you're serious about getting into mountain biking save up the extra £300 and get something that will do the job properly. I fell into the cheap halfords bikes trap when I wanted a road bike for fitness. It requires a lot of maintenance just to keep it running smoothly as the parts are cheap, weak, clunky and difficult to replace/upgrade.
@aidansumner21237 жыл бұрын
they are ok they don't have hydraulic brakes tho so they ain't the best for slowing you down/ no lockouts on the suspension/ cheap gears if you're shopping at halfords look at the carrera kraken/ voodoo Bantu they're around 400£ but do the job well I have a voodoo Bantu with upgraded parts and it works just fine for an entry level hardtail it's not going to last for ever but when I replace it I'll get a Diamondback release 3 I'm in love with these or the mission 2 because Seth brought my attention to these

Great vids Seth. I'm just back from the Denver/Golden area of Colorado and It was amazing. My Santa Cruz Superlight was stolen the day before my departure back to Pensacola after my father had a heart attack. You showed us a vid using old tube and rubber cement for a patch kit and that does work in a bind on tubes. Here's a little trick for tubeless. Take a section of wax paper and roll out some Gorilla tape onto it. Cut it into appropriate sized strips and pieces and pack it or roll it up and stow it in your bars. It will save you in certain situations. May have held that 700 on the ride to Key West. Hoping to get back to the Rockies next spring and get it on. Thanks for helping the MTB community. See you on the trails.

I really dug the inner tube wall mount. However a couple things really bothered me with that segment.. First, it's a mollie.. Not an anchor.. Anchors open when you screw in a screw. So the screw needs to be inserted for the anchor to be secure. A mollie is secure without the screw. Second. Lmao silly guy.. A beam is a horizontal support either above ones head or below ones feet. Now a stud is a structural support in a wall. Like what you weren't drilling into. Your welcome Seth. I love the channel. Been a sub and loyal content watcher for going on 3 years now (I think).

I have used Abus U-locks all my life and i have noticed that if you leave your bicycle outside the UV of the sunlight will dry out and degrade the plastic covering of the U-lock. But if you cut out inner tube parts and then cover the plastic of the U-lock and then run black duct tape over it, the lock will last you decades outside in the cold and sunlight but you do have to grease the inside of the lock regularly offcourse. Also if you also use city bikes and you like to park them against brick walls, then the frame tends to scratch and then start rusting. If you measure which parts come in contact with the wall when parking the bicycle, you can cover those parts on both sides of the bike with small inner tube cutting and also run duct tape over them to keep them in place and your bike will never get scratched when you put it against the wall.
