    Park Tool is awesome. Totally overhauled my hard tail this weekend, and I've got their tools and videos to thank for it. Sure, the cost of tools isn't fun, but learning to do it myself was, and saving on the repair costs isn't something to sneeze at in the long run. Cheers all around

    A friend of mine asked me to bring a bike to a trade show for some demonstrations. I thought my commute bike was in pretty good working order till I handed it over to Calvin. Within seconds he found stuff wrong with it and was thrilled to show everyone. Happy to say Calvin has worked on my commute whip!

    Allot of channels I get into I get bored of and move on, You are not one of them. Your videos have definitely changed but for the better. You not only have better gear but more experience and even though all your videos are about one thing (bikes) they are each entirely different and fresh. You aren't just making entertainment though, you are what got me to save up $250 (I know that's not that much but I didn't have a job back then) to buy a used Cannondale trail 5. And I use that thing, Even though I can technically drive (I'm 16) I don't because I'm enjoying the commute to school,to the mall, or anywhere I go that's relatively close to my house on my bike.
