Better late than never! Thanks for sticking this one out, guys. Curtis and I were up at the crack of dawn trying to get this video ironed out and it took some time to get uploaded. Enjoy your weekend.
Can you imagine being such an influence on the bicycling community that companies watch your videos and design products around your criticisms? Like, wow.
I'm glad they are. He can expose flaws in products before they fail us when we need them. And the fact these companies are striving to correct and improve their product puts them higher on my list. They aren't settling on good enough. I'm more willing to give these types of companies my money, even if the product isn't perfect, so long as it works and that money goes to making the next iteration better.
Well, if you like slamming your head onto your handlebars - then maybe. However whenever I was designing the part, I took into consideration the "self-stabbing" potential, and I used rubber band mounts for this exact reason. The part slips under impact and shouldn't hurt you, in the even of a crash I would much rather be concerned with an uncut steerer or something more fixed in place on your handlebars.
Top tip from an English teacher, apostrophes are ONLY used to show possession of something or to show that a word is a contraction. Otherwise, there is no need to use an apostrophe in your writing. A lot of people get caught up with the apostrophe and use it whenever a word ends with ‘s’, which really isn’t necessary at all.
One precaution about the Tru Chu is that 3D-printed parts aren't recommended for food contact unless they have been sealed, which these don't look to be. The process leaves lots of valleys/gaps/voids where bacteria can grow and aren't really cleanable.
@@primal5435 Even if the plastic type is food safe, fdm printing is often porous with lots of small voids. These can be difficult/impossible to clean and can let bacteria grow.
@@kevinkesler6856 If you print with 100% infill, water should be able to reach all surfaces, and therefor kill the bacteria when mixed with disinfectent. It's true that it's porous, but so is a wooden cutting board, and that's considered food safe.
Hey Seth! with respect to crash pads, it seems like a much stronger version of TEGADERM, which is what's been used to treat road rash for years and years in the road bike world. I can say from personal experience, the clear film allows you to keep dirt out of the wound, and watch it heal so you can monitor progress without removing the dressing. Furthermore, because it acts as a scab, but is flexible and stretchable, it will not rip as easily and can seriously prevent scarring. At least, in my case my road rash healed much faster than the other guys' and it scar-ed way way less!
I’m going to wait until the kids are in bed before I watch this so that I can enjoy it in peace and quiet. Thanks Seth, I enjoy your videos a great deal.
Tip from a bike mechanic - the "strip gripper" is designed for it to be hammered into a bolt (kind of like a screw extractor) as a last attempt to turn the stuck bolt. However, you usually only get one shot at this - so take your time!
The chu tru is for racers I think. I see a lot of others xc racers put gummies on their top tube by just licking them and sticking them on. The product probably makes them stay on better.
@@crud_cloth I love that you're active in the comments. You'll get roasted here sometimes but for me it says that there are real people behind the product instead of just someone reselling mass produced stuff.

Man I sold all my DH, Enduro and xc bikes to make room for my cross and road bikes. I really miss it man your videos are making it hard to snag at least a trail bike here in Philly. Been watching your videos for years I mean the early ones from your trek days. Great content thank you Seth
I have never ordered any merch from any content creator till today. when I Found your channel a few weeks ago and have started watching all your berm peak related videos. Got the red berm peak shirt today feels like I’m part of the building of berm peak. And if anything I like this channel more then the seths bike hacks channel. Excited to see how the peak grows in coming months and years.
Long distance road racer/riders sometimes tape gel packs or energy bars to top tubes and handlebars. It's been a few years so I don't know if gummies are a thing with roadies..
@@barbrovirtanen2921 Did it all the time in XC races. The things stay on like they're glued once you've licked them, though I did lose a couple once or twice, so stabbing them onto the chutru would probably be even better. As long as conditions are dry-ish there's really not a problem.
Fun, useless fact! That wasn't a spider. What is most widely known as a "Daddy Long Legs" is not actually a type of spider. It _is_ an arachnid, but its actual name is a Harvestman. Basically the only difference is that a spider has two body sections, an abdomen and a combined head and thorax. A Harvestman has only one body section to which all legs, eyes, and mouth appendages attach.
The chutru’s are meant for Xc racing so that when you need that energy you have it right in front of you. It is better than sticking Clif blocks to your frame but we suffer through the dirt.
Pedros came out with those sliding allens a while ago and I love them. Interesting to see the strip gripper concept, not sure how useful it is though. Also, ball heads are nice if you know what you're doing but if you give them to an amateur they're almost guaranteed to strip out the interior faces of the bolt
The Tru Chu seems like it would be awesome for XC racing. It's very common for racers to put energy chews on their top tube with the lick'n'stick method, and I'd much prefer this system. Kudos on reviewing a more niche product.
This thingy to keep the chain together, when the quick link is removed, is quite useful. I have made my own holding device, made from an old spoke. These holding devices come often together with chain tools. They are handy for putting the chain back together or for shortening the chain. Don't want to miss them.
I race cross country mountain bikes, and those chew things are the best. Although we normally just lick them or bite a chunk off the bottom and then stick it into the frame.
Hey Seth, My names Isaac I'm from Australia and i just wanted to say you have been such an inspiration to me while I have been riding i first started riding on a blue diamondback outlook that my friend was going to throw away and he said if I can fix it i can have it. i found this channel through fixing the bike . I started watching your channel in grade 7, I am now grade 9 and ive seen every video since. I would just like to say thanks 🤘🍻🤜🤛🚲
I can vouch for the hydrocolloid bandages (crash pads are a black version). I had pedal scrapes, road rash, and a bruised scrape from a bike wreck that were a nightmare to clean and bandage. They stuck on and stayed on. There is a ton of science behind them for wound care. Showers were easier while I healed and even had a bit of padding for accidental bumps. You’ll need em one day, try em out.
bought a bike this summer to have smth to do during lockdown. a cannondale trail bike, i liked the color. it brings me joy now and i'd like to put some progress in. love this channel for how honest all the videos look, and it's really great help for a total novice! thanks Berm Peak Express!
ChuTru could mount on paddle or thwart for canoeing/adventure racing. Clif Shot Bloks have saved me in a race more than once. A good mount for them would be great. And eating mud makes you tougher!
One thing you might want to try with the hex wrench strip grippers is to try the next size up on the screw. Since the screw head is stripped, even an extractor made to fit in the head normally won't fit in the stripped one because the hole is now larger.
@@Nicolllla the ease of access overweighs the dust, a small bit of dust wouldn't matter when you bonk and need some calories. you're gonna eat dirt anyway, even roadies do
You know you're on your way to becoming a real mechanic when you have multiple styles of the same tool. don't need to choose a favorite. different t wrenches for different jobs. awesome video as usual.

'im old, fat, and will never achieve anything in life, so i will now rag on a young person who is trying to make a product that helps a niche audience that i am not a part of.'
@@nohigherbeing NICA racers do not have time to pull them from their pocket, and the lick'n'stick method is a solution that has plenty of its own problems, mostly that the chews will just fall off in more technical/rough races.
I don't cycle but I love these videos. Its the exact style of review I wish was elsewhere in the world too. Most products get mocked, really fun to watch. Most get a sceptical approach. But whatever makes it past all of that is an absolute gem and deserves legitimate thought. I've already bought a (slow) battery powered bike pump seen here for my motorbike, its been great. Plus the highly critical mindset, as suggested by companies, gives good feedback towards product development ultimately giving us far better products.
I was just remember this video yesterday as I had a couple of chews, and was wondering if that chew-holder thing might be actually decent for the case where you want to grab a bite and keep riding. So you stop, pull out the chews, stick 'em on, and get back to pedaling. You eat three while on the go, and aren't parked while you slowly chew three ultra-gummy snacks. If you're on a ride where you just don't want to stop for 5 whole minutes, maybe that has a place. Just not any good for having them on there for a long time through dust, mud, and crashes.
I think that the crud cloth is for when you get something on your skin that you don't want on there, for example poison ivy oil or other bad thing for you on your skin.
The road rash patches are essentially a product called SecondSkin used for healing tattoos. It really speeds up healing time while minimizing the risk of infection.
ok, I'm just getting into biking but have worked extensively on cars so yeah, I have a tool fetish... gimmie a neat tool I haven't seen before or one that is better than what I have. You hit the mark Mr Berm. This is good stuff. Keep on reviewing!!!
That fucking CEO with the belt Sanders lol. That dude is my hero. Not for sanding his arms but because neither of those Sanders a plugged in or have sand paper on them. He didn't even unravel the cords which means he definitely returned them to lowes after that picture. My hero
Every aspect of mountain biking is positive, almost all of the products you’ve reviewed in this video, you talk about the positive attitude of the people who make them
It looks like those crashpads have a hydrocolloid gel on them, that's quite commonly used on burns or other similar wounds where the top surface of the skin is removed. It's supposed to hold the moisture in and allow the skin to heal faster as a result. Best applied after thoroughly cleaning the wound to prevent infection.
I some how ran into your channel through the sad news about your dog. But something good came from that because i have been binge watching your videos. I've really gotten into mountain biking since my bike was stolen and i had to buy a new one 😅. I dont know why but when i got a new one i really started paying more attention to this side of the scene and i really enjoy your videos they're so cool. Keep it up!!
crud cloth DIY: get one of those tiny towels / towel like washcloths, moisten them and put them in a ziplock bag with a tiny extra droplet of water. Protit: get one preloaded with a bit of soap and one just moistened with water.
As a shop mechanic, I've had my eye on the THH set since they were announced. The lack of ball ends is a plus to me, because sometimes you need a wrench with long reach but also to apply a lot of torque, and if you torque hard on a ball end you're likely to damage or strip the fastener. I already have two hex key sets with ball ends so I don't need another. The failure of the stripper gripper is disappointing but not that surprising. One feature I think I spotted in your demo but that I've never seen mentioned: It looked like the top side of the long piece actually has a hex keyhole in it, is this true? That would let you use a second hex wrench in it to achieve lots of torque and maximum reach.
@@emmber19 Sounds like you're talking about their "Pro T/L Handle Hex & Torx Set"? They look substantially identical to the Park P-Handle hex and torx sets I already own. So no, thanks. I'm interested in these new T-handles for their different features.
all i was was thinking on the first product was "do the bottle smasher, do the bottle smasher, do the bottle smasher..." and then he did the driveway jump, which is close enough i guess
The wound covers are more like a non breathable tegaderm, they'd be good for holding a wound together, or covering something like road rash until you get home so you can keep riding without packing it with dirt and sweat. Similar to what tour riders use to cover road rash or wide cuts. For closing slightly larger cuts/gashes another technique is putting loops of Duct tape on either side with paracord running through it and then scewing the pieces together with paracord to allow the wound to drain.
I actually used a flip lid + insulated water bottle in 2004 in my rally car! Didn't used it on my bike, but in the car was everything covered in fine dust, and super heatsoaked. Except for my water. ;-) It was a "dirt-cheap" :-D mtb bottle from Tesco in Hungary, so the idea isn't all that new. I just ordered the Topeak Power Lever yesterday! :-D Good price! Nice shirt!
Bought a SAE / Metric set of Allen wrenches from Menards on BF for $9.99. They use a plastic “bearing” but the same premise of the Park Tool but for well.... super cheap. The quality is decent and they work!
Those new Park hex wrenches are definitely a professional tool.. It makes sense for a mechanic to use the new T handle without a ball-head, as mechanics typically have a separate ball-head L wrench set for the task of weird angle situations, in addition to a nice handled hex wrench like that for the most common circumstances where ergonomics matter and a ball-head isn't necessary. In my experience as a mechanic, the ball-head on the old style Park P-handle wrenches always rounded off, rendering it useless. Using a ball-head day in and day out to crack or torque bolts will wear it out in a matter of days, as well as risk stripping bolts, so the higher torque stiuations are always reserved for a standard-headed wrench. As a mechanic, I avoided the old plastic handle hex wrenches at all costs. The ball-head tended to round off quickly, so the good end was left for heavy torque duty at that point. The problem is under a heavy load, like removing a tough crank bolt, the metal wrench flexed, while the plastic handle did not, and the plastic handle could basically explode, sending sharp plastic chunks into the user's face or hand or whatever else was close by. Not ideal! Bottom line is, you're absolutely right, it makes no sense for someone getting into mountain biking to buy $130 hex wrenches, especially wrenches that lack ball-heads! At home, a standard L wrench set with a ball-head on the long side and a standard-head on the short side works great. Those new Park T handles are really sweet though.. On another note, I'd be worried about the gummi holders being a safety hazard in a crash! They look pokey and I have definitely had my share of handlebar-to-body impacts in crashes. I don't want a barbed point attached to my handlebars in such a situation...
my mom used to be a nurse and she did this for my harsch crasches on the longbord. For real bad scrapes, these things work wonders, IF: It is NOT infected and AFTER apling normal bandages for at least a day. a wound needs to breath for some time to start the healing process faster. afterwards, sealing that off, it's WAY less painful, it's literally a short term replacement skin
Thought on Crash Pads: Probably meant to be used on your road rash for DURING riding sessions to avoid aggravating the wound while you stay active. I imagine you would remove afterward to allow the wound to breathe when you are just hanging around the house.
If you already have rash, how much would that hurt to remove? I think it's more like preemptive rash guards like slider shorts for baseball players. Stick them in the likely places before the crash.
Better late than never! Thanks for sticking this one out, guys. Curtis and I were up at the crack of dawn trying to get this video ironed out and it took some time to get uploaded. Enjoy your weekend.

You know you're on your way to becoming a real mechanic when you have multiple styles of the same tool. don't need to choose a favorite. different t wrenches for different jobs.
awesome video as usual.
The gummies the person who makes them should make a cap for it
At that point you're just opening something else. Might as well leave it in the package.

When Seth Matt Jones and Sam pilgrim upload at the same time
Great minds think alike! (Or we had to wait for it to process so the quality would exceed potato)
haha I was so happy when I saw a berm peak express notification AND a Matt Jones
YES I Have been waiting for another 10 product reviews.
"I like stuff that's a little more, under sated" he says with a diamondback bottle that has massive diamondback logos all around it.
Yeah, but I can see what he's saying. The other product has a real early 2000s feel to the branding and it's aggressive and dated.
He says while wearing a bearm peak tee!
understated... unless they're my main sponsor !
I don't cycle but I love these videos. Its the exact style of review I wish was elsewhere in the world too. Most products get mocked, really fun to watch. Most get a sceptical approach. But whatever makes it past all of that is an absolute gem and deserves legitimate thought. I've already bought a (slow) battery powered bike pump seen here for my motorbike, its been great. Plus the highly critical mindset, as suggested by companies, gives good feedback towards product development ultimately giving us far better products.
I was just remember this video yesterday as I had a couple of chews, and was wondering if that chew-holder thing might be actually decent for the case where you want to grab a bite and keep riding. So you stop, pull out the chews, stick 'em on, and get back to pedaling. You eat three while on the go, and aren't parked while you slowly chew three ultra-gummy snacks. If you're on a ride where you just don't want to stop for 5 whole minutes, maybe that has a place. Just not any good for having them on there for a long time through dust, mud, and crashes.
Me when Seth doesnt upload on friday: 😭☹😔
The product that interested me the most? ... the bolt extractor.
When Seth said we probably going to make fun of it I was like, “oh no it’s another one of those videos.” 👍🙂😁
Seth's reviews are so legit. I love em. I'm buying what he likes, I'm amused by what doesn't work....WIN WIN
I think that the crud cloth is for when you get something on your skin that you don't want on there, for example poison ivy oil or other bad thing for you on your skin.
I like the continuity of film making with the water on the t-shirt :D
Sam pilgrim, Matt Jones, and Seth at the same time no way
Yeah, i was watching matt jones lockdown trail build videos because honestly i got kinda bored of them, anyway i was watching part 16 and seth posted
Oh i just got the notification for matts video.
The road rash patches are essentially a product called SecondSkin used for healing tattoos. It really speeds up healing time while minimizing the risk of infection.
ok, I'm just getting into biking but have worked extensively on cars so yeah, I have a tool fetish... gimmie a neat tool I haven't seen before or one that is better than what I have. You hit the mark Mr Berm. This is good stuff. Keep on reviewing!!!
That fucking CEO with the belt Sanders lol. That dude is my hero. Not for sanding his arms but because neither of those Sanders a plugged in or have sand paper on them. He didn't even unravel the cords which means he definitely returned them to lowes after that picture. My hero
If Seth moves to NY and starts fighting crime in a spider suit, 11:07 explains why...
The shorts “ has a good amount of stretch to it in certain places”. Not all of us have that problem Seth.

Every aspect of mountain biking is positive, almost all of the products you’ve reviewed in this video, you talk about the positive attitude of the people who make them
It looks like those crashpads have a hydrocolloid gel on them, that's quite commonly used on burns or other similar wounds where the top surface of the skin is removed. It's supposed to hold the moisture in and allow the skin to heal faster as a result. Best applied after thoroughly cleaning the wound to prevent infection.
2:15 - when I tell my wife I need more bike accessories
When you were coming down that hill and lost control 😂
Here I was, thinking "that chew holder is going to fail this test..." And then it failed even more spectacularly than I ever imagined!
I already know this is gonna be a great video :)
I some how ran into your channel through the sad news about your dog. But something good came from that because i have been binge watching your videos.
I've really gotten into mountain biking since my bike was stolen and i had to buy a new one 😅. I dont know why but when i got a new one i really started paying more attention to this side of the scene and i really enjoy your videos they're so cool. Keep it up!!
crud cloth DIY: get one of those tiny towels / towel like washcloths, moisten them and put them in a ziplock bag with a tiny extra droplet of water.
Protit: get one preloaded with a bit of soap and one just moistened with water.
As a shop mechanic, I've had my eye on the THH set since they were announced. The lack of ball ends is a plus to me, because sometimes you need a wrench with long reach but also to apply a lot of torque, and if you torque hard on a ball end you're likely to damage or strip the fastener. I already have two hex key sets with ball ends so I don't need another. The failure of the stripper gripper is disappointing but not that surprising.
One feature I think I spotted in your demo but that I've never seen mentioned: It looked like the top side of the long piece actually has a hex keyhole in it, is this true? That would let you use a second hex wrench in it to achieve lots of torque and maximum reach.
Just get the Pedro's set like every other race mechanic. I've had mine for 3 years in my travel kit and they're awesome.
@@emmber19 Sounds like you're talking about their "Pro T/L Handle Hex & Torx Set"? They look substantially identical to the Park P-Handle hex and torx sets I already own. So no, thanks. I'm interested in these new T-handles for their different features.
6:47 "Freagin' ghaaabage" XD my favorite part.
AvE reference at it's finest. I heard AvE say they were gonna do a collab at one point too.

Ive got the image in my head a waterproof quick release cap for the chu tru
The little thing that holds the energy chews would be amazing for road biking!

Seth Uploads: 😀
The Video Is Longer Than Usual: 😁
all i was was thinking on the first product was "do the bottle smasher, do the bottle smasher, do the bottle smasher..." and then he did the driveway jump, which is close enough i guess
Dhevin Kundu it was good just not the same. The bottle smasher had a weird satisfying violence to it that seemed so elegant efficient and Seth.
The wound covers are more like a non breathable tegaderm, they'd be good for holding a wound together, or covering something like road rash until you get home so you can keep riding without packing it with dirt and sweat. Similar to what tour riders use to cover road rash or wide cuts. For closing slightly larger cuts/gashes another technique is putting loops of Duct tape on either side with paracord running through it and then scewing the pieces together with paracord to allow the wound to drain.
I have seen all of these videos at least 5 times and counting. I love it
4:30 That subtle piss noise made me spit my drink out.
I think that's a woodpecker

I actually used a flip lid + insulated water bottle in 2004 in my rally car! Didn't used it on my bike, but in the car was everything covered in fine dust, and super heatsoaked. Except for my water. ;-)
It was a "dirt-cheap" :-D mtb bottle from Tesco in Hungary, so the idea isn't all that new.
I just ordered the Topeak Power Lever yesterday! :-D Good price!
Nice shirt!
Bought a SAE / Metric set of Allen wrenches from Menards on BF for $9.99. They use a plastic “bearing” but the same premise of the Park Tool but for well.... super cheap. The quality is decent and they work!
First, didnt even see the video :D but i love seth's channels
greetings
Thanks for all the awesome contents Seth
Let's try the gummy bear device on the rain, yeahh that be the most fair try for the product
Those new Park hex wrenches are definitely a professional tool.. It makes sense for a mechanic to use the new T handle without a ball-head, as mechanics typically have a separate ball-head L wrench set for the task of weird angle situations, in addition to a nice handled hex wrench like that for the most common circumstances where ergonomics matter and a ball-head isn't necessary. In my experience as a mechanic, the ball-head on the old style Park P-handle wrenches always rounded off, rendering it useless. Using a ball-head day in and day out to crack or torque bolts will wear it out in a matter of days, as well as risk stripping bolts, so the higher torque stiuations are always reserved for a standard-headed wrench. As a mechanic, I avoided the old plastic handle hex wrenches at all costs. The ball-head tended to round off quickly, so the good end was left for heavy torque duty at that point. The problem is under a heavy load, like removing a tough crank bolt, the metal wrench flexed, while the plastic handle did not, and the plastic handle could basically explode, sending sharp plastic chunks into the user's face or hand or whatever else was close by. Not ideal! Bottom line is, you're absolutely right, it makes no sense for someone getting into mountain biking to buy $130 hex wrenches, especially wrenches that lack ball-heads! At home, a standard L wrench set with a ball-head on the long side and a standard-head on the short side works great. Those new Park T handles are really sweet though..
On another note, I'd be worried about the gummi holders being a safety hazard in a crash! They look pokey and I have definitely had my share of handlebar-to-body impacts in crashes. I don't want a barbed point attached to my handlebars in such a situation...
my mom used to be a nurse and she did this for my harsch crasches on the longbord. For real bad scrapes, these things work wonders, IF: It is NOT infected and AFTER apling normal bandages for at least a day.
a wound needs to breath for some time to start the healing process faster.
afterwards, sealing that off, it's WAY less painful, it's literally a short term replacement skin
Thought on Crash Pads: Probably meant to be used on your road rash for DURING riding sessions to avoid aggravating the wound while you stay active. I imagine you would remove afterward to allow the wound to breathe when you are just hanging around the house.
If you already have rash, how much would that hurt to remove?
I think it's more like preemptive rash guards like slider shorts for baseball players. Stick them in the likely places before the crash.
