So those pedals actually _do_ have a marking on them. It's not a printed or etched "L" & "R", but there is a line on the left pedal, going around that portion of the spindle between the pedal body and the threads, while the right pedal is smooth in that spot. Line for Left, it's actually super common. A helpful tip to go along with another helpful tip!
@mtb_alan Ай бұрын
Nice. That's good to know. The nice thing about looking at the threads is that it's always gonna be the same on every pedal.

I met you Saturday evening around 5-ish. I was the guy with the Druid. Talked with you and Heather. Planned to ride with you Sunday morning :(. We survived the storm and stayed until Tuesday night (no power too:P). Was my first time in Bentonville so I had to ride whatever trails I could find....which was the skills park, All American jumpline and at the Castle, Uwabami and Wildfire. All else was destroyed. Nice to meet you and hope to meet you again! With no tornadoes lol

@@mtb_alan I’m serious , always a great production and content , to be honest I really never look at skin color , no room for racism in mtb , recently watching videos on Tinker Juarez who just turned 60(as I have) dude has been a hero of mine for 40 years , he still rides 30 to 70 miles a day and winning races , its the heart that counts brother

I have watched your videos for about 3 years now. Maybe even longer than that. In this video you describe your the skin color. Why does that matter? You are an amazing rider and that is the only thing I care about and the content is first class.

Bro, it just comes down to, no one should care about what you are, they should care about who you are. you seem like a chilled dude but you're creating division in the wrong way by trying to set yourself apart from other youtubers by the color of your skin.

Dude, this might be hard to hear, but I think you should ditch the e-bike. Or at the very least ride it way less often. It's not doing your fitness any good - and I find that once you start riding one, its hard to go back to a 'regular' mountain bike. I am by no means anti-ebike. I just think that they should only be used in certain situations and/or by certain types of riders. And you're a young healthy guy.
