I have a build a top end slopeduro bike and it was the best decision I have ever made. I am a teenager and am always tight on money. People said it was a bad idea but as of now it's the best decision I have ever made
Hey Seth here’s a tip.if you want to powder coat, you can make a booth out of a old dryer. Cut the front of it out. Add a fan and buy a powder coating gun and some different colour powder. and you can coat bike parts so they won’t chip like normal paint does.
Slopeduro bikes have got many extremes: Matt Jones has his at 120mm travel on 27.5" , whilst Brandon Semenuk has his on a 27.5 / 26 mullet with 190mm travel. And I have seen others running 29". I think yours though Seth is in the middle and is probably about right!
Going by some bike-checks on UA-cam I've noticed a lot of the RB Rampage riders are running 26/27,5 mullet with Fox 40s (or similar) up front! I'm fairly sure that's not recommended by the manufacturers but maybe they've supplied their sponsored riders with a custom frame/swing-arm to make it work?
@@beggarwoodbikepark3974 I'm sure you're correct but what's the difference then? Or, what's the closest your average rider can buy/convert to get something like a a pro rampage bike?
I built my 2018 giant reign 2 into a slopeduro. Single speed, 36x16 single speed. Fixed low seat post, coil rear shock. Went from 2.4 tires to 2.1. Badass jumper. If you are a jumper like me, everyone needs one of these in their stable.
One recommendation would be to put offset cups in the head tube to stepen it up and make it more responsive like I SS or DJ bike and maby brop the travle in the fork by 10mm to keep the BB hight the same or atleast close.
I actually did something like this recently; took an old 26" giant reign and made it singlespeed full sus pumtrack/street bike. This thing is sick! So much fun. Cheers Seth 🤙🏻
Love it! I'm in the process of repurposing my very first MTB, and old 100mm XC 26in bike into a 26" BMX cruiser. Same as you I'm doing it because you can't have too many bikes, and I have Enduro, hardtail, fixie, 20" BMX, old postman bike and this one will be, I hope my do it all bike but mostly for my to go to the park with my son, get groceries etc. Simple, cool and reliable 😎
I’ve watched your chanel for years and i’ve never seen you mention an oval chain ring! You just glossed over it but that seems so cool and ingenious to me.
I'd love to see you change the brake to a hybrid cable actuated hydraulic brake, and add a gyro. Or run one of those hydraulic gyros. They were cool mechanisms that never seemed to get much acknowledgement outside of midschool BMX.
Had this thought too - even running a cable actuated disc all the way without the hydraulic calliper would be fine considering the need for rear brakes.
I would like to see Seth make a ski bike I’ve been seeing them on the slopes lately and it’s making me really want to build one. I think Seth would have some good ideas on how to build one.
nice build! i did the same with my saanta cruz bronson last month, 1x drivetrain by reverse components, removed fox transfer dropper, pumped up those fox suspensions and now it flies on the dirt jumps that local hits with the djs... most fun bike ever had
great video seth I swear you can always make a used bike look new,it doesn't matter if it a flip bike or one of your old bike the builds are always mint.
Kevin’s slope style bike really is like a modified, small, trail bike, it has two disk brakes, gears (though not many), a dropper, and suspension. Greta video Seth!
Santa Cruz 5010 straight outta the box is kinda a slopeduro bike if you stiffen it up. 130 rear, 140 pike, DHRIIs f&r, etc.- beefy components on smaller bikes
Mine is an End-style bike. DMR Bolt slopestyle frame with 150mm Fox forks, a Rockshox RT3 rear shock, NX Eagle groupset, MT Trail Sport brakes and a crap tonne of Hope aftermarket parts. Flicks like a slopestyle bike but does the distance, flies up hills and blasts down them like an Enduro. Started with an overgrown full-squish BMX and now I have a king-killer genre defining All-Mountain beast.
I love how Seth runs a Bomber z2 to show that you can still do just about everything on a budget fork instead of buying something like a fox 36 factory
I absolutely love slopestyle bikes. They're so fun for jumping. Dirt jumpers do the job as well but having gears (if you don't want the single speed) and the rear suspension is nice.
I always underestimated the value and pure satisfaction achieved from, well... just staring at the completed bike. Just did that on a bike build - couldn't take my eyes off of it. I'm setting aside some staring time from now on.
I have over 200 UA-cam subscriptions... I have two that I get notifications for... Seth is one, and this is why... Now I just gotta wait for the next Flip Bike episode.
So freaking cool i love how seth makes use of every bike and about the rear break hose you can use the dropper post hole and drill a hole from rear of bike near the caliber it ll be much cleaner
its such a dumb idea to drill a hole into a carbon frame. also you would have to drill multiple holes in the front and rear triangle to make this work. the frame is probably trash by then. and in my opinion it looks pretty good with the external rear brake hose and its much easier to service
I've got a carrera vengeance fram which I converted to single speed with a 30t front chainring and a 16t rear sprocket pedals great runs smooth and is and easy bike to manage.
Kind of funny, these are the kind of bikes we tried to build like 20 years ago from off-the shelf size-small frames and DH parts- like the final evolution of the aggressive "trail" bike.
Love your channel Seth. I love Mountain biking and was into RC before you found the hobby so I enjoy both hobbies very much. I have a 1/10 scale ECX Torment that Ive spent years upgrading and a ACX 24 with upgrades. I rock a Berm Peak shirt and sticker. Keep up the great videos. Your channel along with others is what I watch. (No TV)
Funny how many bike categories there can be with just a little imagination, some spare parts, and money and time/tools. When I worked at a shop in mid to late 90s we were always playing around, but at that time there were probably only a few categories, DH, Duel Slalom, full suspension XC, hard tail XC, rigid XC, single speed. Then you get some jump bikes and then blends into the BMX scene
My daily all arounder/weekend warrior is a detuned DH bike set up with a single crown 180 fork and super stiff suspension with 11 speed and a dropper....🤘
The red looks great. Love color matching hoses and housing. Got all orange on my rigid 29+ bike, trying to decide what color to accent my trail bike with.
I made it the other war 'round: In a time single drivetrains were rare, because of wanting such one I took a Slopestyler (Mongosse Nugget), changed a few parts (all the cranks from 9x / 32 : 12-29 to finally 10x / 42 - 12:36, the brakes, the tires, the handlebar, the seatpost) so it became a fully trail / tour bike to me 🙂
How does Seth not have a million followers yet here he’s a great UA-camr self made videographer live talks on vids and voice edits well stays on topic with each video entertains us even if we don’t ride bikes always stays up to date on parts and everything I been following you Seth since the day you decided to build berm creek lol nothing but flawless progression over the last few years
good build even though not many changes were made but what there was....was effective...nice. ......I did like the way you got round the rear gear with the spacers, nice & simple
A few tips... to make it feel more like a slopeduro, maybe ditch the coil shock. It adds weight and has no benefits for the intended purpose. It would also be sick to make it a mullet, you could stick the flip chip in high. Faster rolling and lighter casing tires are always great...lastly skinnier bars...cheers
Those kind of chain tensioner are designed for quick release wheels. You basically place it in before the nut and let the QR axle hold it in place. I have one myself, though I swapped it out to a chain tensioner that goes in the derailleur hanger.
Hi Seth! I've been watching you since Seth's Bike Hacks! I must say I am always entertained and enjoy your ORIGINAL contents! All of us OGs appreciate it! Stay safe and God bless! P.S. Always a hassle when the master link goes missing HAHAH
I've turned my old canyon torque into a slopeduro bike. 180 travel front and rear, 26", single speed. The only downside was the relays tall standover height, otherwise, was pretty fun to ride dirt jumps on
As a wise man once said : on a singelspeed you dont have to worry about beeing in the right gear because you are never in the right gear
Ye Seth said that
@@twocogsmtb102
Whoosh goes the jest.
have my hardtail with singlespeed, but we have many mountains here, but yo
Lol
Three gears for a singlespeed. Sit. Stand. Walk.
As always, entertaining af. The color matching and everything.
I lowkey want to see Seth paints the spring red too.
I have a build a top end slopeduro bike and it was the best decision I have ever made. I am a teenager and am always tight on money. People said it was a bad idea but as of now it's the best decision I have ever made
Coulda gone with red grips and red seat for a truly matching theme
Color matching, you say?
Hey Seth here’s a tip.if you want to powder coat, you can make a booth out of a old dryer. Cut the front of it out. Add a fan and buy a powder coating gun and some different colour powder. and you can coat bike parts so they won’t chip like normal paint does.
I'd love to see that in a video one day
I would also love to see this! I am interested in a Seth-style breakdown of what powdercoating is and how to do it (-:
@@milobertrand6085 Upcoming Berm Peak Express vid for sure..
@@arjunkathiravan784 I would absolutely love to see this on BPE

@@sandy_knight Sure they do have custom frames. The only manufacturer who doesnt do that is Nukeproof up til 2015.
Idk why but running a 29er on a slopeduro is not as bad ascit seems
Mush the bikes at rampage aren’t slopeduro bikes
@@beggarwoodbikepark3974 I'm sure you're correct but what's the difference then? Or, what's the closest your average rider can buy/convert to get something like a a pro rampage bike?
I really dig the red brake hose, makes it look very interesting.
wasn’t too keen at first but by the end i was all in on it👌

The Shimano alfine CT-S5000 is a realy good chain tensioner and I can highly recommend it, I use it on my slopestyle bike
One recommendation would be to put offset cups in the head tube to stepen it up and make it more responsive like I SS or DJ bike and maby brop the travle in the fork by 10mm to keep the BB hight the same or atleast close.
smart
That’s geeking out for sure! On “real”dirt jumps that would have a real positive effect
0:52 seth: u cant raise the seat
kevin: are you sure about that
I noticed that too
I actually did something like this recently; took an old 26" giant reign and made it singlespeed full sus pumtrack/street bike.
This thing is sick! So much fun.
Cheers Seth 🤙🏻
Sus💯💯
This is my plan for my Transition Scout when I upgrade later down the line. It's a 125mm rear travel frame so would do the job so well.
Love it! I'm in the process of repurposing my very first MTB, and old 100mm XC 26in bike into a 26" BMX cruiser.

Oscar is such an amazing dog! Never a dull moment with him around!
I’ve watched your chanel for years and i’ve never seen you mention an oval chain ring! You just glossed over it but that seems so cool and ingenious to me.
One addition that I think really completes a slope-duro is dj saddle. One of those things that’s not totally necessary but sure is nice.
Lol I run a bike shop and one of my clients bought the same tensioner, and that was my exact reaction.
I'd love to see you change the brake to a hybrid cable actuated hydraulic brake, and add a gyro. Or run one of those hydraulic gyros. They were cool mechanisms that never seemed to get much acknowledgement outside of midschool BMX.
Bluetooth brakes coming soon = no cables
@@mudkayak6305 hopefully not made by sram then 😂😂😂
Yeah, its slope style, brakes are just here to stop at the bottom, a BB5 on the rear would be more than sufficient.
@@cravendale9021 nah we’re getting axs code r’s lol
Had this thought too - even running a cable actuated disc all the way without the hydraulic calliper would be fine considering the need for rear brakes.

do you know the name of it?
You know it's a good day when seth uploads.

You should put a 26”rear wheel on it and some less beefy tires.

I ride a Slopeduro too. YT Capra 27,5 Fox 38.. and of course singlespeed.. It is the best thing for every Bikepark session 😍😍😍😍😍
8:14 seth got a lot of time being a dad 😂😂
"its so ugly"
That thing actually looks pretty freaking awesome. I always forget how good Seth is on the rig, till I see him on the rig. 👌🏼
A bike like that is great for dual slalom and bike park laps. It's gonna be a bit lighter too and easier to spin and flick around
Berm peak needs a 3d printer. Custom Chain tensioners and other small components on demand!
More like a 5-axis mill to cut parts from aluminium - 3D printed parts are not Seth-proof 😃
I absolutely love slopestyle bikes. They're so fun for jumping. Dirt jumpers do the job as well but having gears (if you don't want the single speed) and the rear suspension is nice.
Slopeduros are super sick 🔥🔥🔥
I just remembered this channel, it's been years. I remember when it used to be called something like Seth's Bikes. My Lord the memories
“It looks immature and childish” 😂
Nail on the head. 😂
Great video. 👍🏼
My guys, you're in trending!
Love the videos. Been watching for 2yrs now
If you've still got that old litespeed, you should flip it to a gravel/cross whip.
I always underestimated the value and pure satisfaction achieved from, well... just staring at the completed bike. Just did that on a bike build - couldn't take my eyes off of it. I'm setting aside some staring time from now on.
Who remembers the murder machine👇
The red cable looks very cool. Probably one of the coolest looking bikes ive seen, from an artistic perspective at least
The color matching is incredible
Can’t wait for a snow riding episode. Up here in cashiers NC we got over a foot and that half an hour from brevard so I’m sure Seth got plenty of snow
Love the videos lately seth love from Trinidad amd Tobago
I have over 200 UA-cam subscriptions... I have two that I get notifications for... Seth is one, and this is why... Now I just gotta wait for the next Flip Bike episode.
This is exactly what I needed. A new bike category to give me an excuse to buy a new bike. Thank you Seth.
Reminds me a lot of the BMX bikes we rode as kids… but with suspension. I like it.
You just made my first day of quarantine a lot better Seth! Thanks alot for that🙏🤙
So freaking cool i love how seth makes use of every bike and about the rear break hose you can use the dropper post hole and drill a hole from rear of bike near the caliber it ll be much cleaner

Outdoor fotage today was spot on. Nice work
I've got a carrera vengeance fram which I converted to single speed with a 30t front chainring and a 16t rear sprocket pedals great runs smooth and is and easy bike to manage.
I hope you keep that bike with it being set for jumps and down hill and the right size seems like the best test bike for all future trail builds
been watching you actively since the florida days, gotta say every video you get more comfortable and the qualitiy keeps improving
Kind of funny, these are the kind of bikes we tried to build like 20 years ago from off-the shelf size-small frames and DH parts- like the final evolution of the aggressive "trail" bike.

Slopeduros are the best. I have converted my YT Capra last year and I love it 🤩
To make it really badass throw a bmx seat on it 🥳

I currently just got an old Kona Dawg (2009-2010 I believe) frame. Just specifically to build a "slopeduro" bike, haha. I'm quite stoked on it.

the slo mo on the bike wash was the perfect touch
One of the coolest looking bikes you've put together, man
Finally a new bike build vlog, and as always NICE BUILD

Man I'd kill for a bike half as nice as this one! Great job!!!
I absolutely love the red brake cables that ride looks wicked cool Seth!
I'm planning to do the same thing to my current entry level full suspension when I get my new hard tail can't wait
