We Tried Some Of The Worst Reviewed MTB Products On Amazon

Рет қаралды 173,806

Күн бұрын

Amazon is most people's go-to online retailer when it comes to buying almost anything, apart from mountain bike products. Why is that? Blake Samson and Rich Payne set out to answer that very question! They have ordered some of the worst-reviewed MTB products they could find on Amazon, some of them are fun gadgets and some are advertised as serious mountain biking gear. Will the items survive rigorous testing, or will they fall short of the mark?

@@gmbn btw, hope you guys covered certain types of bikes. I LOVE fitness bikes and I have a Canyon Pathlite 6 (2022 model), which is technically a hardtail (1X 36T 10-51T XT Deore 12 gears cassette) and my most favourite bike at home (I also have a road bike and a MTB), and I'd love to see those types of bikes features in this channel. It's also a beautiful bike imho. My most favourite bike ever when it comes to looks is the Canyon Roadlite 6 2023 model (1X drivetrain 46T, 12 gears XT Deore 10-51T cassette like a MTB). But for very hilly places like the one where I live where the weather is very rainy etc, the Pathlite 6 is a better fit, that's why it's called mountain biking, even if you aren't just in the trails. Other GCN channels might cover gravel bikes but those aren't a fit, plus they have drop bars, which is not my thing, and most of them imho just look like road bikes with fatter tyres, meh, also many of them have very similar gearing compared to road bikes, meh again.

A bit more expensive safety glasses would be perfect. As for the gloves. I've bought leather gardening gloves last fall. And all time I've spent mowing the lawn since then was asking myself how would they work as a mtb gloves. They're leather not fabric, they fit very well. I'll try one day. In general - in my opinion MTB brands are overpriced significantly. I've got for example decent motocross FLY googles which cost 1/3 of the MTB specific ones. It's worth trying.

@trailrunnah8886 4 ай бұрын

I was looking for a pair of MTB gloves, but ended up using work gloves akin to the ones you showed, except they cost 1.5€ a pair! The grip is excellent, they work with touchscreens, and I got two thicknesses for winter/summer riding! I do agree that you need to go for a smaller size to keep them tightly on the fingers, rhe only downside is they smell awful and they still do after one year of sweating and washing!

Turns out the mounting hardware isn't compatible from the old to the new shock and i had to have a custom one made. Now i tested the shock and when it reaches full extention in jumps (not compression) it makes a fairly loud noise that has me concerned, hopefully it's nothing catastrophic.

Amber safety glasses from a reputable safety equipment store are very cheap (from $3 NZD, bout Pound fiddy)... Smooth optics as they are better quality... and bonus... Amber lenses allow you to travel in and out of a forrest section without being blinded or needing a guide dog... they have the effect of turning on a light in the shade sections (You MUST try someone's Amber specs.. Please. Gloves... There are some cheap MX gloves and Cheap suede leather work gloves (like car accessory shops sell.. I have a pair from NX Supercheap) ... excellent... and when the finger stitching etc goes... cut back (usually you can leave the last 2 for a while) the fingers for summer fingerless palm protection.
