The "can claw". Just what I want. A completely shaken up can of warm beer after a long summer ride.
its prolly made for road biking, you wouldnt shake it up too much there i believe
Could be a nice fun challenge, hook up a beer to the bike and look who could explode it on a trail.
@@LOLLO2WINimpossible, worst aero shape, better off with a koozie in your back pocket. Definitely for hipsters in the city who can replace a bottle cage with this. Of course you can also just put a koozie'd can in a regular cage too.
@@LOLLO2WINI would like to know in which country you live that has such smooth roads and bicycle lanes 😂
I wouldn't have this product in my mountain bike, but I would definetely have it in my urban bike.
So, yeah, it is a great product for carrying a can to a picnic.
The compliant mechanism of the can holder is awesome. Love the idea of having no secondary moving parts
Sounds like someone just read the maximum tyre pressure on bike tyres and was like. "yep thatll do it"
Lol I used to do that with my bmx when I was a kid I thought u were supposed to get as close to max as possible😅
For sure those preset tire pressures are ludicrous 🤣
@@billkent6037 fr maxxis tires max is like 50 psi
"and then send it to the mountain bike youtuber that has the most subscribers" what a king lol
Fabio wibmer
@@gilevans8444Fabio isn’t really a UA-camr like Seth. But yeah I get your point
Sam pilgrim
@@Danilad89 fwiw, Seth has more subscribers than Sam
@@Danilad89Doesn’t have more, but he’s certainly got bigger cojones. The man is a menace. He was doing backflips on a Canyon gravel bike when I saw him last.
At least it will be all fizzed up for the finish line celebration!
my thoughts exactly haha
Have you ever hiked with a soda can in your bag, huge whoosh of soda out of the opening and no soda left. 🤣
As a hobbyist 3d-printer, I can say that can holder is well-designed and printed pretty damn decently. It was clearly printed in the optimal orientation for the stresses the part would handle (this matters a great deal for strength of 3d-printed objects). He probably used PA-CF, (carbon-fiber infused nylon) which means it should theoretically get a bit stronger over time, as the nylon absorbs ambient moisture.
Thank you! The mechanism was originally designed by Tim at Team Dosenbier, and I pay him a small fee for every one I sell.
@@brianpark4 smells like royalty 🤣
@@brianpark4 Team Dosenbier, so Seth was smack on with his expectation 😁
That pump looks just like a speaker.
to be fair 60psi is perfect for my road bikes 1.8" hybrid surface tires (small city roads arent nice to actual road bike skinny tires)
@@trbotimmmmmmmehThe preset was for mtb, not road bike
@@ntastics yes i understand that perfectly thanks im not a baby
im glad im not the only one who thought that lol, looks just like my JBL Go
probably a mass produced reject chinese speaker repurposed into the pump to make it extremely cheap to make
I'm on my second Fanttik, a warranty replacement. (Also, I had a $30 discount at the time -- no way I'd roll the dice at $70) The asthetics are good, but the internals are less than reliable. The battery will spontaneously "lose charge" in the middle of a fill until you power cycle it. That's why the first one was warranteed. The second did the same thing out of the box. And the battery life, even when working, isn't as great as it should be. Definitely checking out those knee pads, though.
I just became a member of the clavicle club this past Friday!!! Now mine was a little unusual, but still happened on my bike. I use my bike to commute to work everyday. An ironic part of the story is I work at the James A Haley VA Hospital. On my way home from work Friday, I was side swiped by an SUV. I was taken right back to the hospital I work at lol 😂😂. I'm a veteran and treated there as well. Anyway the Dr says my clavicle was crushed, 2 ribs have hairline fractures, most of my ribs are bruised. That plus my entire right side is banged up. It was a hit and run so that's fun. Long story short, my protective equipment and gear saved my life!!!! If you are out riding please put it on.
Glad you are safe and thanks for your service!
@@johnhunter4008 thank you sir, I appreciate you taking time to say that.
The MT200s are pretty darn good brakes too. There are a couple bikes from Specialized that come with SRAM Level (pretty similar spec level) and they are an absolute pain to deal with. And you have to use DOT fluid.
The one downfall of the MT200s is that their lever is steel and corrodes over time if you don't take good care of them. MT201's fix that issue.
Also, they work much better and last longer with Shimano's newer resin pads (BS05S or something like that iirc) - I love mine.
Being only two pistons, they're a little light on the stopping power, but they're solid and reliable.
I've been told you can just swap out the levers, which is on my list for future upgrades on mine. Bike shop guy near me has MT200s on his (much more expensive than mine) personal bike, but with higher trim levers because he prefers the feel and the adjustability. My only complaint with the MT200s I got is that adjustability, I liked having my mechanical brakes dialed in so you only need a short squeeze to start making contact, while the hydraulic ones can't preload like that, though it tends to not matter that much when you can lock it up with one finger anyway.
Bike product reviews are some reason one of my favorite videos from you. Thank you for bringing them back and I would love to see some more.
I can actually relate to the CLAVICLE CLUB Lifetime Member mug...I had many falls on a mountain bike, but I became a member 14 years ago from a snowboarding accident. That coffee mug is awesome.
Another Clavicle Club member here, one of the most common broken bones bicyclists sustain.
Got my left one 4 times growing up does that make me a lifetime member haha
The can claw can SURLY hold cans. The joke was right there, Seth. Cmon man!
I’ve never heard it called Snakes and Ladders. I had a game called Chutes and Ladders. Regardless, that game looks sweeet. Good on that lad for making something so cool
There’s a trail where I ride called “chutes and ladders”. 😅
yeah it's chutes and ladders. The idea is that you fall down chutes and climb up ladders.
I had the knockoff version, "Serpents & Escalators"
im loving the full rigid so much
What is that? Karate Monkey? Or just a Surly fork?
Love the reviews as always, lets fill up those parts bins this bikepocalypse season!
Nice ripping with the fully rigid on your home track. Kudos sir.
BMX background
another day saved by your videos
Saved? It was already going bad huh?
Sounds like a really sad life. :(
chutes and ladders is the game we had as kids.
Ik I thought he was joking when he said he didn't know how to play
haha, I know right. But here we are engaging in the comments talking about it. Maybe hes a step ahead in the youtube chess.
Clavicle club represent 👊
I need the "Clavicle Club" mug! Been a member since 2020. 😀
I put on a set of MT200's on a 2010 Kona Hei Hei my friend gave to my nephew. I was doing a refresh on the old bike and had to replace the original Deore bakes because of leaks. Got the full set of MT200 brakes, installed and bled for just under $80....great price and they work perfectly for my nephew who's new to mtn biking.
Thanks for the heads up of the brakes. Bought some before I finished the video.
Love the can claw! The Fantik looks exactly like my Bluetooth JBL speaker
The Clavicle Club should have a variety of products. They could offer customized graphics showing one's own x-ray of plates and screws.
so happy to see Berm Peak getting ridden! I miss seeing it!!!
I'll take a frame bag over a Can Claw any day. Fits more cans, even with a can coozie on to keep them cold, leaves room for tools in the bottom. Much more versatile.
Congratulations on 1 million subs, Seth!!! You're the Man!
I always like your reviews on the unique Items as I rarely see them in the wild. It is cool to see different things especially when they are good! I would never know about them if not for your wisdom and kindness in sharing your adventures and your take. I broke my collarbone in the military and by far one of the worst I have ever broken. You cannot do anything without it hurting and if you sneeze.....it's a bad day! Thanks again Seth for all you do! Good stuff....I am looking up dem kneepads now for when spring hits.......
Thanks for the heads up on the brakes!!!
I dare you open a beer or a fizzy drink can right after that trail ride.
Thanks for another great video Seth!
Those brakes are only 1 per person, what a steal for my secondary or my kid's bikes!
If you can't get a pair - that's quite funny.
@@helvettefaensatan sorry! Meant that they are only one pair per person lol
Love your videos been watching when you only had a few hundred subscribers and watching you get millions of subscribers over the years. Watching you succeed is so awesome keep it up can’t stop watching
Parting shot Cracked me up !!!
Steel silhouette site totally still exists! Idk why description says it doesnt. maybe the increased traffic caused it to momentarily crash? Def gonna order one. I love trinkets!
I love this channel. I love all things bikes. I wish there were more all things bikes but with a personality like Seth. It’s so crazy to see Seth go from a monotone computer programmer to a personality that’s really entertaining! Keep it up!
I hope they're producing alot of those coffee cups. I predict they're going to get a crap-ton of orders!
Love my Avision MTB guardian knee pads! 🚵🏻♀️
Those knee pads interest me and nice to see a small family business bringing innovation to the market as well.
I like to support family businesses too. But those big buckles on the side might be a problem. If you slide out or fall to the side that buckle is digging right into your knee. If you think about it, it's why you see velcro on elbow/knee pads vs. plastic fasteners. Others have thoughts?
@@jedscaramella3398valid observation. Would like to see them in hand and look at that aspect and whether the padding underneath resolves that possible issue.
Always lit as usual, great reviews. Don't need none of that stuff but the innate need to watch what you think of each item always trips my fancy! Thanks for being you and doing what you do! Love to see you put those gnarly a$$ trails you built to good use!
Guess I have to get that mug, im technically a tripple life time member, with a surgery for good measure
nice video!! I love product reviews even though im not riding anymore.
The board game looked clever & fun 😊
The pump just looks like a Bluetooth speaker. 😂
These videos are my favorite!
that bear claw is pricey.. guys could work in apple price dept ;)
from my "3d printing" exp I assume production cost is about 1.5$ - 2.5$ in production (filament cost + electricity)
And there are some similar free designs over the web
It's not expensive it just costs a lot. ;)
I print them out of a carbon-nylon material that doesn’t degrade with outdoor exposure or high heat, and I use super low layer-heights so they don’t look like sad Etsy science projects. They’re a couple bucks more expensive than other similar products out there because a) my materials cost more, b) lower layer heights = 2x the time per print, c) I cover some of the shipping out of the price, and d) unlike some of the lookalikes out there, I pay Tim the original designer of the mechanism for each Canclaw I make and sell.
All that said, if you've got access to a printer I 100% recommend downloading a free version and experimenting. I'd for sure download a bike.
@@brianpark4 That print looks fantastic, full stop. Worth every penny. I'm curious in a production environment how your nozzles are holding up with the abrasive carbon filament. I'm betting wear and tear on the machine is informing your pricing as well.
@@jackson12106 Thank you! I'm using 0.4mm E3D Obxidian nozzles on two Bambu X1C machines. Those nozzles had better last a long time because they are EXPENSIVE. I ran a lot of carbon-nylon filament through the regular hardened steel nozzles in the past year and didn't have excessive wear though, so I'm hopeful it'll be reasonable.
Thank you Seth for repping the mt-200, mt-201s may be available in slightly shorter lever for $1 or $2 more, I have been installing several sets a day since manufacturers started putting zoom and other c-star brakes on higher end bikes. Mt-200s are a trickle down of expensive Shimano MTB hydros from 15 years ago, made with cheaper metals and on a larger scale. Wonderful product. Great video as always.
I joined the Clavicle Club a couple years ago, got a metal plate and 14 screws along with a large scar to prove it 😅
Love the can claw
Love these vids
yesss...these are just awesome...I have them too...and I am so amazed how cheap and awesome these brakes are...that is the blessing from shimano...
Would love to see more videos like this one
Congrats on the 1 million.
Looking at that cyplus again, im kind of tempted
This is Shark Tank of the bike world
Love hearing your reviews, I need a can claw lol
My ion k-pact zip do have a zipper to get on and off. I love them
100% agree with your review of avision pads.
They are bulky and finicky to use if you use them for more than one discipline because of having to re-adjust for over or under pants. But they are SUPER protective and stay put no matter what. After 3 knee surgeries, I find myself caring less about them being difficult to put on, but I still complain about it 😂😂
Overall I’m grateful to have them.
Those knee pads are already on my new list of things I need that I didn’t know I needed 😂
I inwardly groaned when he revealed the price, because I know I'm probably going to buy them sooner or later.
@@Durwood71 I ordered them already 🤣
I like these videos. I use my mountain bike as more of a commuter, but I have gotten, or plan on getting parts that you have reviewed. The Fooker pedals are great, and I plan on the MT200 install at the end of this month.
We better share the can claw with Sam Pilgrim! Time to crack a Monster! 😆
Seth great content sir
myabe it had different names, but I grew up with chutes and ladders....one you slide down and the other you climb with. This makes sense with Lifts and Trails...but snakes and ladders? LOL
That fanttik pump may actually be perfect to carry for my dual sport motorcycle! Been looking for a good one.
The knee pads are worth looking into. I have the Gform E line which are similar and pretty comfortable, but they are bulky enduro pads and not the best for everyday trail rides
I think this is a neat set of products... Although I have concerns with both the pump and the can holder.
MT200 have served me great over the years
These products look cool
I love my avision knee pads!
9:40
OR you can use shreder valve - better system than presta ever be.
This was fun
I've got that bike pump and you can change the default presets within certain tolerances, so I brought them down to something sensible
I hope there will be more content like this and hopefully there will be new Bike hacks videos again😊😊😊
These are some nice parts. And dang I feel early.
I was going to comment on the Fizzy beer can-claw but everyone beat me to it. LOL
Two weeks squad!
Just like the good old days of Seth’s bike hacks. Love it.
Berm peak trails looking good
Yes
Just love how honest Seth is about the Fanttik pump 😂
4:13 when i was a kid i enjoyed playing board games, but now I can't stand board games, I'd rather go watch paint dry, or grass grow. But hats off to the kid for making something like that.
Strong start with those brakes! I got the exact same ones on my budget bike build, except they cost me a little under $50 from ebay (free shipping and it was quick though). Kinda wish I could have found them for $30~ like that, but name-brand hydro brakes for that cheap is already super good, even the guys at my local bike shop have MT200s on some of their personal bikes too (just with the levers switched out to the higher model versions, for better adjustability and stuff; probably next on my upgrade list too, seems like an inexpensive way to get higher-tier brake feel, though so far I really haven't felt like I needed it, they're super good).
Protip: these often come pre-trimmed and bled, which is great unless you're on a bigger bike and/or internally routed cables. So in those cases, leave room in your budget for extra hose, fittings, and a bleed kit. You can find cheap options for all of those, the official Shimano hoses for me would have cost more than the entire set of brakes + hoses so I went third-party and no regrets.
That fanitk pump looks like it'd be pretty good for bmx
rad to see the garden trails again !! is there more to them for the future ??
got those brakes from a previous video you mentioned im in and the difference is amazing! also for the price come on!!! easy to install and well worth the upgrade. something to note too is you will need to get shifter levers if you have combi ones currently installed :D
As someone who joined the clavicle club a week ago, I appreciate that last one!
I own the Fanttik, got it for under $50 on an AMZN sale. If you combine it with a Prestacycle EZ Grip Big Presta Head it becomes a dream to have. Set your pressure plop that head onto the valve and let it rip while you get the rest of your gear ready. The battery is good for inflating two maybe three 2.3 mtb tires from 0 PSI. I got it following a recommendation from Syd and Macky.
I like that can holder!
We always take a cider with us on the weekly boys ride.
And the bike pump, yes the right valve type!!
Presta is for losers. Fight me! 😂
Seems like a good idea but you have to drink the whole can once it's open...
@@polska905that’s a feature not a bug!
@@brianpark4 lol
I used to have a really expensive shop pump but it was only Schrader valve. So I just removed my valve cores and installed those Schrader adapters and left them on the stems. Saved me from having to go out and buy a new $100 shop pump.
I’m with you on the board game opinion
Never made it so early! 7am clubbbb
Can Claw, all I could think about was that Simpsons where Bart puts Homers beer in the paint shaker.
Loved the vid seth and great to see the trails still doing well have you decided not to work on them anymore I love the build and ride video and want to see more of them I know thay take a lot of time and you have a kid but I do miss them,they when my favourite ones to watch
I put my first ever order in with AliExpress today😅 The brakes are on a slow boat from China but can't wait to put them on my backup mtb! Thanks Seth
That Bluetooth speaker looking pump is like an over engineered version of a $2 pump. That hose it comes with will be the first thing to break as well.
I use them breaks on my bbshd ebike and works amazing still after 6 months and haven't had to replace anything yet so a regular bike it should last a good while
I had a set of them on my first mtb. I didn’t do any maintenance aside from swapping out worn pads and rotors for 3 years before getting them bled because they were getting spongy.
I have a clapped out kent trouvaille that ive been shredding on for the last year and a half, been needing to upgrade to hydro brakes and i finally ordered them from chinaexpress. Not bad for $30 thanks seth 🤘🏽
Upgrade the front for to an air fork and that thing will come alive!
I don't particularly like shaken up beer but I'd really like a can claw!
What's that? Neither of those bike pumps do Woods valves? 🙂I wish I didn't have to do them either! But that's what my Dutch roadster came with. Can't wait for the inner tubes to wear out, then I can fit Presta.
