Here’s a good pro tip. Sometimes when I’m all alone on the trail I curl up and cry while I listen to nature, makes me feel a little better about going to work the next day.
that's sad.
You should see a doctor for that
Sounds like you need a new job. I hope these two years have treated you well, stranger.
*hug*
Oh, that must work like the after work shower.
Imagine crashing hard and your friends ask you why there’s pickles falling out your bag
No dip Sherlock
Underrated comment
That would be weird
HAHA
"YO JOHN YOO PICKLES ARE FALLIN OUT!"
Imagine riding your bike and seeing other bikers every now and then eating pickles in the bushes.
Thial Pedal faster! Get out of there!! Lol
Or mustard packets
juan camilo calderon yeah or just people sucking on mustard packets lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lol yeah or mustard
Here’s a hack. When drilling a hole into the end of a stick you’ve found in your back yard, clamp it into the bench vise that you have bolted to your work bench. The one your backpack is hanging off of. 😉
Use a quick release seatclamp as a tyre lever. I also give credit to my friend Peter
Paint can openers work good too
dude, thats freaking genius
Frankie Hughes ive broken thoes wich much less pressure than a bike tire, unless you are talking about something other than the wooden ones you get from Home Depot
You can also use a old brake lever.
@@charleswillis5454 the reason i don't use an old brake lever is because the seatclamp is always with me on the trail an old brake lever often isn't thanks for the replying
Pickles can be stored in a hollow crank set. If it comes out just ram them in.
Thank me later.
I wish I would have thought of that and included a demonstration
@@SethsBikeHacks Next video?
Hehe pooben
Ram your pickle in the crank set. I Love my bike but not that much
GamerTag 54 just SRAM them in
You can use your knee or elbow pads as an emergency tailgate cover.. just use the straps to strap them down on your downtube and they should protect your bike.
Do you mean protect the tailgate
Jeffry 0 ya
Great idea 👍thanks
0:16 wait, there're people who don't just do this by default??
vcokltfre I do that everywhere to
Yup, me included
Me cuz my bike is heavy as fuck
I'm sorry not everyone was was born as smart as Albert Einstein 😂😂😂🤯🤯🤯
if you find it hard to keep it up (like, say you aren't very strong) it can be more dangerous, cause it could fall sideways. I think that's why most people don't
You can use heatshrink tube on your levers as lever grips
true that!
I would suggest using the heatshrink that already has glue inside it. Though that's usually only in black. If you want other colors, hairspray or 3M 77 spray glue works as well, just messier.
@@SethsBikeHacks Are you taking the leap and converting to gripped brakes?
I used to do it a lot, unfortunately they wear out pretty fast. If you ride lift accessed downhill parks the tubing will rip off before the day ends.
I would recommend skate board grip tape. Works well in all conditions.
6:13 I was cringing until the reveal
Same

Sam Davis 15: same

From the thumbnail I thought this was a GMBN video, when I heard Seth’s voice I got so scared 😂
Haha it’s like that confused screaming meme

Sorry about the downbeat voiceover, I had a sore throat and needed to keep trying to get the words out!
This video was still a great one!
Hittin' the ol' pickle juice too hard, eh?
Who agrees that this is the best mountain biking UA-cam channel ever
It even works if you remove the mountain biking in the sentence
Coucou Paul mwa. Yes it does
This and GMBN
Discretion yep I like GMBN to but Seth Bike Hacks is way Better
@@rostonnordell3218 It's hard to watch GMBN. There's something about it that's annoyingly fake and scripted. The only thing worthwhile there is Blake. JMO
Oh guys, here’s another tip, don’t spray your shoes in that waterproofing stuff. For 1, it will make your feet sweat so much that your socks will just get wet. just thought I would throw that out there so you don’t make the same mistake I did.
Jackson Seeto Lee thats why you buy crep protect and not waterproofing spray lol
I was thinking about doing that. Thanks
I used wax and never had that problem
0:42 wtf? Magic
I think the pressure of the two zip ties released at the end of the crank and pulled them in
@@owenclough7156 ok boomer xD
Magic seth
Your my favourite youtuber thx for making good and usefull video's
*you're
#1 works great for elevators, for those of us who live in high-rises.
I used to live up a big flight of stairs, and it was killer!
@@SethsBikeHacks you should re-visit Virginia Key and Markham. Especially Markham; they've got some new features and are building some more. That would make a great re-wind video!
And when I have to take the stairs, I just hang the tip of the saddle onto my shoulder and can carry my bike hands-free.
I once did that at a hotel
Yup and you forgot to add that you can control the balance of the bike very precisely using the rear brake, to make sure you don't cause any damage indoors and also to not put unecessary strain on your lower back. Even though i suppose its common sense.
AAAUUUUGGHH LEG CRAMP!!!!!!!!!
SOMEONE GET ME A PICKLE!!!!
*unzips pants*
For anyone still riding tubes but gets punctures often put an old inner tube between your actual inner tube and tire. Of course you should cut the valve stem off and maybe cut through the inside of it so it can spread against the tire better and use tape to hold it there. Works amazing. Sure it's more hassle and weight but it's up to you if those trade offs are worth it to still ride tubes
You should make a video about how to troll
That's a good one!
Nelius Grieshaber sometimes when my friend isn't looking, I take a zip tie and tie it to his frame with the excess tie pointing towards their spokes, so that when they ride it makes the broken spoke noise. My friends reactions are pretty priceless 😂😂
@@JakerMB Another good one (but this is quite dangerous) is to use lip balm or sun screen, whatever oily substance you have at hand and rub it over someone else's disc rotor, then watch as chaos unfolds and words are uttered.
Nelius Grieshaber haha but then you owe them some brake pads 😂😂
What is trolling
I was out mountain biking and came across an old .22 long rifle casing. I picked it up and carried it with me to throw away later. During that same ride, my buddy crashed and messed his derailleur up and caused the cable to fray. I took the casing out and put it over then end of the cable, smashed it with pliers, and after a few minutes of fixing and tweaking, the derailleur worked just as it did before. I now keep a couple casings in my bag that I find along the trails for cables. It recycles and also looks bad-ass.
Lowkey awesome but yeah what's up with people unloading rounds on your trails
How big are your cables? .22 would be too big for outer
Cornwall's Answer we used pliers to crimp the casing down onto the cable, it didn’t just slide on
Stefan Klok our trails are on privately owned land, the owners hunt on their own property
newbCoder our trails are on privately owned land, the owners hunt on their own property
Scotchguard /fabric waterproofing spray is also great for spraying on cassettes. Crud won't stick! I rarely have to scrub them since I started doing this. (Just keep it off your discs!)
Gas station air pumps are free to use by law in the state of California.
Yes. I'm serious. It's actually the law. You don't even need to buy gas, just ask them if you can use the air pump and they'll hit a remote activator switch and tell you to head over there.
Which is pretty helpful for us city riders.
ive used them a few times here in Cali. Them being free makes people under appreciate them though and sometimes damage them. They do work well though.
@@cashewbaby3163 I try to avoid needing to use them, but it's nice to have the option when you're on the road.
@Jason Henry Yeah, I was shocked when I went to US and realised I had to pay for air. OMG!!!
I live in Germany and over here air pumps are always free to use
Why are people liking this?
If your shoe lace broke because it cought up in your chain use zipties
Edit: thanks for the upvotes. I hope Seth sees it
That hack is the oldest trick in the book.
@@obi-wankenobi9871 But there are still people not knowing about it like Hack #1 in this video
@@michaelkrivonog4296 Like me
This ain’t reddit
I have a hack for your hack, keep your laces tidy by tucking the loops under the laces. The best hack is the one that prevents the original problem. (If you do mess your laces up somehow definitely zip ties are the way to go!)
4:20 the pickle transition was my favourite part of the video 😂
I didn't even notice it
Hi Seth all the way from Australia🤙 Been loving your videos and stories ever since I was trapped at home for 4.5 months after a riding injury one year ago. Today I used your presta chopped valve cap to schrader style tyre pressure pump hack at my car workshop to help a workmate out in a pinch, worked a treat thanks champ!!👌😃
love your vids Seth! inspired me to take up mountain biking - thanks!
I don't know why but I watch every single one of your videos more then once up to 5 times. I love it when new videos come out.
lil boom same man
Yo I’m a new starter with mtbs and thx for the advice
Emils.F Seth is a great channel he has loads of videos like this and other tutorial video.
You’ve chosen the right sport buddy!
Welcome to the mtb world dude! Enjoy!
Scott W thx
Seriously, American gas stations are charging you for air?? 😮😱😵
Andreas L ya but we get free water at most places, which I know lots of other countries don’t have
And free public washrooms
Not all of em
Yeah it's called inflation lol.
It’s free in most places just gotta ask the cashier
This is your signature stuff Seth! It feels like old times! Thanks for the upload! 🎉
How are the baby oil brakes going?
Since that last bleed they've been holding strong! I've been trying to get some miles on that bike every week and so far so good.
@@SethsBikeHacks That is one of the silliest things I've ever seen done to a bike, and my inner child is so happy that it works.
@@CanIHasThisName With the one stipulation that it is an actual maintenance tip.
@@SethsBikeHacks I will be looking forward to a long term review.
When he says "so far so good".....
".... on a rock or something"
excuse me, I stand my phone on a twig or something
Ya, if there is dirt nearby you can just stab the stick in the ground and use it to prop your phone against.
@@DouglasThompson that's what I used to do until seth showed me this hack
I lean mine against my goriallpod 🤨
This channel is priceless, thank god for people like Seth!!
Dude, you totally saved the day for me with a hack I remembered here. I couldn't find any of my presta adaptors while changing a flat and just used the cap. Now I'm back at it fast. Thanks.
If you want picks just ask you dentist because the pics get dull an they just get rid of them but if you ask the they will likely give you a bunch for free. I also got a bunch of different pliers for teeth and braces with little points, clippers for braces wires and a handful of tiny pliers that lock shut on whatever you are holding on to.
ha! A dental grade pick in a bike shop is something I can get behind
Creepy but awesome!
I've had a small assortment of picks from a dentist for about 20 years, by far one of my most utilized/ versatile tools whether I am working on cars, bikes, home repair, hobbies, etc.
now all that's left is to come up with a not super weird way to ask your dentist for some old picks... I'm gonna try that!
Me too
I like to keep one adapter on my shraeder valve and throw normal car cap on it so its protected and i can remove it if i need to use it on my front wheel and i can use eny pump for it and i have adapter
Hit like if this helps you or you want to try it out
I do the same thing
I’ve tried that but my tire goes flat
That's how I roll
I remember you making the video on showing that you do coding and not gonna do UA-cam full time
Look at you know
I always use nearby rocks and sticks but that multi-tool idea for a camera stand is great!
Hey Seth! I have always used packaging tape that you can find at postal offices for under 3$ as frame protection, it works very well and each pack has about 8 feet of tape 👍
What's it like trying to remove that stuff?
Johnny Weekend easy peasy, just run your nail along it
@@theflannelflyer9437 I don't have nails like Seth 🤣 I'ma stick to that EverClear he recommended 😊
Good luck removing it if its chipped by stones or whatever.
I use that stuff to stop the cables from rubbing against the frame. It looks nicer if you use clear packaging tape, because you won’t see it
BERM CREEK ADDITION: Build a wall ride after the rollers
Good idea
YES YES YES
He wouldn't have enough speed after the rollers... A better idea would be before the rollers
jump off the deck!
Donat Kurshumlija or after the drop
The Valve adapter DIY is AWESOME thank you
Hey Seth!! a good hack for carrying duct tape:
Wrap your preferred duct tape neatly around the body of a cheap plastic pen. Roll on as much as you want, or as little as you need. The an take a knife or side cutters and cut the pen body flush with the end of the tape. Makes a great tiny roll of duct tape, you can turn several feet of tape into a very small package, no bigger than a bid lighter.
Speaking of lighters, you can wrap duct tape around one of those too, if you ever needed a lighter on the trail. Heck I’ve even seen people wrap duct tape around old gift cards. That makes for a nice flat carry method that can still hold several feet.
A simple hack here, make your own protein packed flapjacks instead of store bought ones. You can make them in big batches and keep them fresh in your freezer. It’s also much cheaper and healthier!
Recipe?
@@jkl0ps Just google it, I've made them a bunch of times off random recipes I've found
ODI bar ends can double as a DIY Fork Cork for a 1 1/8 steering tube
Seeing as I don’t have a proper bike stand, one thing I found that works very well is the hitch mounted bike rack on my truck. You can use it for a lot of things from basic derailer adjustment all the way to new fork installation.
I don’t get how people can dislike your videos. I always find them helpful and informative.
You can use a inter tube to get better grip on tools like screwdrivers
I use an old tube to open jar lids.
After switching to tubeless, I brought most of my spare tubes to work where I use them as handles for makeshift tools.
chilidoggs S or heat shrink
If your riding shoes stink then put mint tea bags in them over night and it will absorb the stench and moisture!!
could also just run them through the washing machine
Yes, I use tip #1 literally everyday! I was going to pause the video to type out the seat bump w/ the knee tip, but then you covered it!! WHAT A LEGEND. Seth is the GOAT. Such a helpful tip.
Also, thought of a tip to share: Hang hydration pack reservoir upside to air out so they don't get moldy. Osprey sells fancy kits for doing this, but this is a cheap, free hack. I use a medium size paper binder clip on the bottom & wedge a small ~2" piece of cardboard at the mouth on the bottom to keep it open, then just hang it from a hook, nail, pegboard, etc. Also, to clean out the hose, I straighten out a wire clothes hanger & attach a small piece of scrap cloth to the end & push it through the entire length a couple of times.
Love watching your videos, you always seem to have the coolest hacks
Great Vid as always Seth!!
Great video love the bike hacks videos please do more and more back yard trails
Use an old tire for a chainstay protection you could just use a tube but you can cut the shape how you want it and in my opinion it looks cool...your videos are sweet I learn so much from them!!!
Considering I don’t ride any sort of bikes I find your videos really interesting really great stuff
Seth you should come to the uk one day (lake districk and wales)
Misty nah fam gotta come to Chicksands
WHY NOT ROMANIA?
@@boiifidont7308 shall I take it you know some trails?
Chicksands?! Dude chicksands is a tiny bike park without a shuttle he needs to go to revolution bike park
He should do Scotland lol
I was waiting for this
Fantastic ideas again Seth! Thx
Hey Seth, that home made pick was... On point!
Pickle juice is the best hangover cure ever. pro tip from a Russian haha
its also the best for cleaning up you're blood so its clean (piss test) from marijuana.. figured that out my self (tried it)
@@Magnetis0101 wat
@@somedude2492 When i was 18 my friends and i grouped up and smoked some marijuana, and i had a job interview the next day (they did a drug test to see if i would pass to work). I forgot about it until it came to be after getting very high. I knew drinking pickle juice helps do alot to get rid of a upset stomach and also alcohol since it goes into you're blood system if you drink a lot of it. So i did.. I drank two full size jars and ate 14 pickles (really wanted that job) so the next day at the interview i was tested.. little to my surprise LOL i passed the drug test i was clean........... i was like dammmmm it worked hahaha..
@@Magnetis0101 damn 😂😂
@@magnum685 that was my reaction as well
Hack: Sharpen the bottom end of a toothbrush to make a tire tool. Brush on one side and pick on the other. I use this on my bike tires, it works very well.
Great video as always. For the backpack hanger i use binder clips clipped on my desk. Is uselfull to hand helmets or backpacks and it can also keep cables in place.
I love you're videos keep up the great work :)
LOL, making a DIY pick with expensive tools!
Another zip tie hack: put it around a water bottle cage or piece of frame upside down so the Zip tie doesn’t attach properly so you just take it of if you need is. SAVED ME
Wow. 10 more. Yours is a creative mind. Thanks for sharing.
Best mtb channel on yt how have i not found out sooner,thanks seth
You can use a zip tie as a zip tie. Thank me later! 🤙🏻
Oh my goodness i never thought of that!! good one man will help me get out of those situations where i need a zip tie but all i have is a zip tie xD
My favourite youtuber!
Love the hacks keep the content coming I’ve been watching your channel since the bike giveaway keep it up
This is the channel that got me interested in mtb
Seth is so good at making bike videos, the best even I just live for these videos! I really hope my videos get to this kind of level someday
Digging and Riding your channel is really good
This may work on a mtb, but for bmx when your traveling with your bike on a plane they charge you 100 dollars to travel with it, so I just pack it in a golf bag. Works like a charm!
Tatertot Store it in a bomb
Ummmm....right....
Great video Seth, some very useful stuff thanks
02:43 Oh wow I use to take pictures of the stars and this trick is absolute GOLD !
HACK#2: use shampoo and brush to clean shoes. This will help a lot with muddy shoes and it also make white soles more white. I use nettle shampoo. Then just wipe it of.
hacks/tips : Use a cheap bike lock which has flexible cable as a bike repair hanger.Hang it on a hook on the sealing,then pull it down when you use it,that could save a lot of space.(sorry for the bad English)
Honestly for YT, this is pretty good English.
Great hacks! Something I found very useful when installing very tight tubeless tires on a tubeless setup is a bendable plastic/rubbery ruler. Using a tire lever usually screws up your tape job letting air leak through your spoke holes. Instead, wedge a ruler in between your rim and your bead, and then bend it over towards your hub (Inside of your rim) and pull, using it like a rope. This hack gives you the extra leverage needed and does not harm your tape. Hope this works for you!
always love ur hacks seth..
Your first hack I do it all the time when i go home or in trail boss..
“In a pinch” - Seth’s Bike Hacks 2019
When exploring new trails alone, a compass to take note of the direction you came from can be really helpful
Love your videos men... their so helpful
School is canceled, just got home, new Seth Bikes Hacks Video.
Me: OMG YES!!
Hey Seth! Love the vids!
One hack I've found useful working in aerospace and riding my MTB - if you want a sticker to last a little longer, clean the surface you're placing the sticker on with some isopropyl alcohol and a clean rag. Let the surface dry, apply the sticker, then apply a thin layer of clear coat nail polish to the sticker. This helps keep moisture and other FOD from deteriorating the sticker 👍
Fianlly found the video, went through a lot to thank you for it. The bike hack of raising the front Tyre helps me get through obstacles at home, thank you 💕🔥😍🤗
The gas station pump selection is on point 💯👍
Awesome hacks as always! Can you do a "10 Filming Hacks for Mountain Bikers"? I would love to see something like that!
JUDS MTB me too
That phone filming transition was 🔥 dude. Also, pickles and mustard are disgusting.
Pickles are not good
Why would you eat pickles with mustard?
FR, I'd rather just rest until I can get back on than throw up
Great video a lot of these are really helpful and I cant believe I didnt think of them
I absolutely love your videos bro!
Hi Seth i really like You. I Was watching you since 700k subs and i really like wathcing you ride but here in Finland we Dont have that good trials and i cannot travel becouse im 13 yers old. But keep it on👌
I'm same age as you I live in England there are not to many trails near me to
I’m 12 and I snowboard in California I wish I’m in Finland were both opposite
Same here mate!!!
literally the exact same scenario.
also same scenario but I'm in the Gold Coast QLD in Australia
When i go for a ride i put lemon slices in my water bottle to make the water fresh, but on my last ride i was hurt (hitted my b****) so i ate the lemon slice from my bottle and man that was a relief its not pickle juice but it worked, thank you seth!!!
