In this video, I chose a bunch of mountain bike products between $5 and $200. We still have some great riding weather in some parts of the world, and the holidays are fast approaching, so hopefully some of this stuff proves useful or at least entertaining!

Isn't there a video where he told us that they moved around? I guess it was some whistler video. Strange how things changed for money. P.s. they only fit if you got sticks for legs. He also said that in an other video.

Seth is literally explaining every tape measure ever😂😂
I've seen some US ones which don't have metric 🤔😱😅
@@ollieb9875 I have 4 tape measures. Only my flexible tailor's tape measure has metric. It's been a point of annoyance, so I'm going to get the park tool one. Actually, this was the one part of the video that was actually applicable to me.

@@ollieb9875 all of mine only have imperial not metric.
not every country use imperial, in fact, only 2 country use them. for the rest of us, we use metric with imperial thrown there occasionally. but yeah, seth is literally explaining every tape measure ever, except America apparently
Seth: These master link works for 11 or 12 speed chains. Me: Cries in 3x7-speed
Me cries in 3speed
I am crying in 2x8
SAME
@@carterswenson2227 You can get master link chains for 8 speed. I used to run one, I still have a bunch of 8 speed master links floating around. I definitely recommend going megarange with the crazy 12-46/48 tooth 8-spd cassettes. They're pretty well worth the money and they give you 10/11 speed performance on your 8 speed.

Ever since Seth moved in to his new house, I haven’t seen him eat a taco

Great idea!

@@camerontowery1022 nice!
One thing to note about field fixing your chain with a master link is if you need to shorten your chain, you also can't shift into your lowest gear. To accomodate for having a shorter chain you can mentally remember to stay out of the last 1-2 largest gears of your cassete, or use your low limit screw to prevent shifting into them.
if you're just shortening it by 1 or 2 links, shifting into the lowest gear should often still work fine. The second lowest gear should definitely still work normally unless you shroten your chain by like 10 links (= 5").

3:30 Seth out here reviewing a standard measuring tape. I think he's running out of content guys.
He mentioned in past video that hes a park tool nerd.
it shows mm as well as inches, ive got a handful of different tape measures and none of them have mm. but all you need is an online converter so i agree its nothing fancy.

@Lochie Clifton tru
These are the kind of videos I miss
You've motivated me to pedal my bicycle daily
Say it with me. "I'm special and I deserve it." Lol
What ?
great stuff, especially the knee pads. but man i laughed when you brought out the tape measure
Yoooooo hold up this video is 17 minutes Sweet
Poggers
But it felt so quick
I didn't notice it, how Seth did that 🤔
We need a compilation of Seth saying “ today were doing something different, but kinda the same”
that would get insanely boring after the first five times he says it. just saying.
I know right 😂
and a shirt
Its kinda like “hello everyone this is YOUR daily dose of internet”
@Jake Chapman 30 seconds and already replied! Seth should see this
12:50-12:57 THAT KID WAS DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg yeah
I have those POC kneepads. Super impressive. They're a bit more structured than you would think but they aren't uncomfortable at all, and have saved my knees a number of times so far. Would happily buy again.
This is more important than school
You from India
Always has been.........
indeed, im so glad i got rid of most of my subcriptions yesterday otherwise i would of missed this
Your right
Yes
12:58 Seth don’t worry we won’t say anything about the kids driving 😉
I know right. When I first saw it I was like hmm 🤔
Yeah lol
"Professional Driver, Closed Course"
Lmao 😂
Ha looked like they were just driving a few feet though
I like that “Dule” pad, now I just need a truck.
get a tacoma
I like the chain tool master link combo. For newer riders, I believe in a pinch if you only have the chain tool and no mstr link, you can still eliminate the bad section and rejoin the chain to get you back to the trailhead. You wouldn't be able to use your largest cog in the back most likely, but it will work.
Why is it that every time I watch one of these videos, I get more broke
same so true
idk seems so unrelated
Relatable.............
😂😂
Hey Seth, hope you’re recovery is going well . I loved this longer style of video, it would be great to have more of them! Keep up the amazing work 👍
Yo my legs are cringe at his voice
After my first mountain bike trip, I fell in love with the sport. Then, I found your channels. I’ve been watching your videos for about 3-4 years now, and today, after years of waiting and working, was the day I finally bought a mountain bike. I’m about to be 15 on Tuesday. The bike I purchased was the Kona Honzo. This bike is $1,500 usd and lemme tell you guys. It’s one of the best birthday gifts I’ve ever had
Very helpful demonstrations. Thanks Seth!
Hey Seth could you maybe bring back RWS? Maybe after the bike park is finished? Great video btw!
I think he's currently in a cast with a broken ankle, so it may be a while.
Yes please

Seth you gotta do a cheap disc brakes vs expensive disc brakes.
Its not even that Expensive To upgrade your brake pads.
This man took a hard look at his metrics and made some mf big brain decisions. The quality of content is unmatched.
Could you explain what you mean?

Wow 3 dislikes and only uploaded 3 minutes ago even the haters got their notifications on 😂😉 Great videos thanks for the great content you make my day 😊
Probably because the commercials/automatic advertisements are still on for this channel.............
@@drifterxl12 that's how KZheadrs make money
Gotta say, ever since he signed whatever "unscripted" deal he signed, these pieces have taken on that reality TV cringe factor. Loved him before, now not so much. Take, as an example, Worldwide's product videos. Those are still great and authentic. No cheesy side camera angle shifts, no yucking it up for the reality camera (tire 'splosion!). But still fun humor and clips. I have a bit of experience in the entertainment industry, so I'm pretty sure what has happened, and I'm sad to have lost something I enjoyed. Maybe this phase/deal will pass, and OG Seth will make a return. I've seen it several times before. But many more times I've seen these deals ruin people. Like really really ruin their lives.
U are not a hater just because u dislike the video u might just don’t like the video
@@bananasstuff3344 Hey man, whatever works for ya! Again, I just hope for the best, even if the best is something I don't personally like.
The only weakness I've found with Knog lights is the mounting solution. Given the weight of the light with battery and the premium materials used, the mount is plastic, gets loose and rattles after not a whole lot of usage. Amazing light for sure, but it's totally let down by the mount. It rattles around for me on my road bike, let alone riding trails on the full suspension mountain bike.
+1 for the Thule Bike Stand. After using a few previously which can't hold the weight, these are fantastic! Also fits my dual suspension no problems.
Wow!! Never seen such cool tape measure! Belt clip and it locks? Wowzers!
Am I the only one that just watched a 14 year old drive Seths truck to a bike park with his friends😂
Nope I saw it as well but it wasn't Seth's pickup
I too thought that lad looked a little shy of 16 🤫
“Or maybe you are special and you deserve it” Why do I love this so much
YESSSS MORE PRODUCT REVIEWS!!
Some great items at great prices! Great video man!
Nice to see that you're back to product reviews 👍
I dont think ive ever seen a tapemeasure without both metric and imperial, not that i ever have had any use for imperial
I've been using the fuzzy side of velcro for makeshift frame protection from cables.
I am really enjoying this channel as I embrace Mountain (Trail) Biking. After this video I just purchased a THULE TailGate Pad. Great review and thank you for the insights.
17 minutes of the most entertaining and enjoyable video maker on the platform, Nice
I love competitive cyclist, such good customer service!
I take that Lezyne tubeless kit with me everyday on my commute. The plastic box it comes in is big enough to also hold a valve core remover, a valve core, chain link and a topeak flypaper glueless patch kit. Makes for a very compact little setup.
Some of your best work mate 🤘. Love product reviews ❤️

For tire levers I love my Schwalbe ones. Super slim, super sturdy (we use them in our shop, mine have seen more than a hundred tire changes and don't show any signs of weakness) they work really well and don't cost much.
2 year update?
I can't say enough that your tailgate swing is the most convenient feature I've ever seen! Especially for attaching a bike tailgate pad! It's like a damn rubics cube trying to attach the one I bought! That was the fastest 17 minutes, I couldn't believe it was over already, which means absolutely nothing, but thanks for the video. My Christmas list is right on your description list!🤣👍🤙🎄

Hey man, hope you get better with the physical therapy, stay strong !
Very happy with my Poc Tectal. The spare padding inserts are a great inclusion. You can have a set in the wash while riding with the others.
Great tips! Thanks man 👍
How do you fix a damaged chain? First, we need to damage it! Proceeds to smash a good chain - nooo! ;)
I was watching this in class my teacher walked by and he allowed it
Lmao
I was watching abella danger vs 3 bbcs and my teacher walked and he allowed it too
I have a Evoc 2 bike pad for my Silverado. Works pretty good, got it from Amazon for like $90. My goto tire plug kit, is the Pro Bike Tool kit. Everything is contained in a aluminum pill style bottle. The reamer screws into the container top. That set me back a massive $20. Also running an Original Free Range tube gator, neoprene sheath with elastic cords. Works AWESOME!! Then I added a Topeak Bottle cage tool case.
I watched this vid during break at the pump track! You motivate me!
I sold a shitload of Thule roof racks when I was selling Kayaks
When is the “Seth’s Bike Restorations” channel coming out?
The kids demoing everything are awesome!
From personal experience I would buy a bike light from the dairy section at Walmart before I'd buy another one from Knog. I supported Knog for *years*, partly because they are from my city, and had literally every single one of them die for one reason or another. USB connection failure, battery failure, button failure, physical construction failure - all of the above. My local bike shops, when I mentioned the issues, echoed this - they've had similar issues with their Knog lights, too.
4:09 "We're gonna take one of theis"
I am so accustomed to Seth's brutal reviews, that this one seems weird.
Lol
Yeah and he actually did a promotion in the video too I don’t really like it because a couple months ago he was even talking about how he doesn’t want to do any of that in his videos
also, a plus on the frame protectors is they're going to cover up any damage that is already there; a problem with packingtape.
To set a master link I like to make sure the link is on the top part of it's stroke, hold the front brake, then smash the pedal down real hard. Works like a charm.
This morning my mom told me to start my Christmas list and I was looking for videos to inspire my list. And this video is PERFECT
Challenge: Take a drink every time Seth says Refined or Substantial
@Berm Peak another good light set is the ascher rechargeable bike lights
I had one of those Park Tool racks in college. It worked for my full suspension bike, but only because there was enough space between the shock and the top tube to fit the arm. It definitely wouldn't work for all bikes, though.
Seth: if your a hardtail enthusiast. Me: I am but I’m also completely broke
7 am the best time to get on youtube
Every time you post a video it absolutely makes my day! Love your videos Seth!!
OMG I love my POC knee pad, it's so comfortable that I even use them for knee warmer on road cycling, and put underneath riding pants for dirt biking.
3:13 anyone anywhere but the us: So a normal tape measure then
They're common in the US, homeowners and hobbyists use them. Tradesmen typically don't need both but if we do then we prefer separate rules. I'm sure it's the same anywhere.
Right before I start watching Ad : usaa
I’ve missed these styles of videos
I used the Dakine bag as a pencil case back in school, extra style points👌
commenting helps the algorithm UwU
We shoul have merch on it saying “kinda different but kinda the same” lol
Gonna have to get a set of those pedros levers now!
"Well... we have to damage it" haha such commitment to his art!
is seth just never gonna post again
Bring back old profile and name! The new one doesn’t have the same ring to it
He won't because he doesn't do that many hacks anymore
Take a look at the Delta cycle Michelangelo 2 bike storage rack. It's not as robust as the Thule, but you can get it for under $70 and it's a great solution if you live in an apartment or have limited space to store a few bikes. It takes less than 5 minutes to assemble and is easily adjustable and comes with hooks for accessories like helmets.
Another good helmet is the bell super DH. I know it’s $300 but you basically get two helmets in one (full and half lid), it’s super comfy, they look sick, and the magnet buckle is the smallest yet greatest thing ever added to a helmet.
Seth, I like your cut G
KZhead : hey let’s notify people five minutes later
That's better than what has been happening to me lately, they have been notifying me when people post a day late
Every time I see your truck I remember seeing a black Ridgeline just like it sitting by my dads in Maine and it even had the Raceface on the tailgate.
Thanks Seth! You just gave me the completion needed for my boy's Christmas!
