We were comparing the generic slime with Orange Seal. The Slime bike sealant is different from there generic slime sealant.

I always try and stay over prepared then under prepared. You also never know when your riding buddy will need your help.

Yup! I usually carry a Tubolito taped to my frame some where or have it in a top tube bag - Isaac

You can, but there should be plenty of aid stations and support for you during the race.

We don't currently have a rental fleet, but we are working on getting one!

Those are IRS Boken Doublecross!

merchantcycles.com/ sorry about that, here is the new link!

Thank you for your comment! We will be doing a video over tire inflators soon! Is there any ones you suggest us to try?

@@merchantcycles I would suggest maybe the Topeak (Road and/or Mountain) Morph series and then I'd be interested in your suggestions/experience with other models/brands. I've got a OneUp model that holds a multitool inside, but it has a rigid valve locking mechanism, so I try to be extra gentle with it when I use it (so I don't snap off the valve stem). Silca is one brand of tire pump I haven't tried. I have a Lezyne pump with the screw-on flexible hose that I like for its compactness and very good bottle cage mount, but that I've had really spotty luck with inflating tires because it backs out valve cores as I unscrew it. I've gotten around it, somewhat, by using LocTite on valve cores on bikes I have with that pump attached, but I'm always really nervous about having to battle unscrewing the valve core. This is just me, but here are some of my priorities when I'm looking at on-bike tire pumps: 1. Does it come with a good mount that can fit under a bottle cage (I'll forget the pump if it isn't always attached to the bike)? I'm slow and need all of the fluid capacity my bike can provide, so I don't want a mount that takes up a set of bottle cage mounts all by itself. Also, the pump fit inside of the mount needs to be secure so it doesn't rattle (annoyingly) and/or so the pump can't come out while riding. 2. I value a flexible hose because I've snapped off some Presta valves while using a pump with a rigid valve attachment mechanism. 3. I like the flip-up lock-on chucks (Topeak Mountain Morph, for example) instead of the thread-on models because of the tendency for the thread-on models to unscrew valve cores. 4. I tend to prefer the high volume pump models because all of my bikes run tire pressures below 40 psi. After about 30-50 pumping actions, my arm starts to get sore, so that's another thought on the high volume versus high pressure pumps. 5. For an on-bike tire pump, having a gauge isn't something I value. I can get it close enough to where I like it by feel (and/or the tire will feel weird when it's too low). When I have access to a full-size pump again, I can dial it in more precisely. 6. I tend to carry at least one CO2 cartridge and head in case I need to re-seat a tubeless tire, but it's my last option when I'm having a tire inflation issue. Pump action inflators are a lot cheaper to operate. I like a CO2 head that has an inflation control dial on it so that if it isn't inflating properly at first, I can shut off the air, readjust, and have another shot at it without being one-and-done with my CO2 cartridge. 7. When I'm having tire issues, I tend to get grumpy, and for an event like Unbound, my judgment can become compromised the more exhausted I get, so I want something that "just works" when I need to use it without thinking through all of the quirks that might come along with it.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!!

How easy is it to use the chain breaker ?

For off road and rough terrain applications, clutched derailleurs are the way to go. But sometimes its not necessary for light off road and city riding.

Clutched derailluers are the future!

Thank you for watching the video! let us know if you have anymore questions!

We find the Dynaplug more reliable in our testing.

@@merchantcycles all I use in dynaplugs. Just curious if you had tried it. Will wait for your reply in 5 more months 😂

Did you get a ticket this year?

@@eyeninja3043 I did I did!

Replies like this is why I love the internet😂😂😂

He’s actually done a series showcasing tires with bayonet protection too.

Could be based on the area of riding... Certain terrain does require/benefit from certain parts... No two trails are the same bud.

What do you advise for gravel tires?

@@abfutrell It totally depends on where you want te ride. Rocks, gravel, sand or normal roads. You're local dealer, all over the world can give you perrect advice. I don't promote one brand because there are so many good brands.

700c is definitely the front runner. But 650 is the "new" rim option and as we all know its hard to over come an incumbent standard. There are many great reasons to run either size. Do what is best for you.
