Hey Seth, an added tip for cutting zip ties: Use another zip tie. You push the 2nd tie onto the tail of the first, snug them up, and proceed to do that twist trick. The 1st tie usually shears off perfectly flush with its nub, then you just pull the 1st ties tail out of the 2nd ties nub and you're good to go!

Cian Bichard by carefully tap he means tap it without missing and smashing your fingers or hitting your bike. Otherwise he would have said “gently” tap
No, drill holes in every visible part of your bike frame, and then carefully tap the holes so you can mount your GoPro on every part of your ruined bike. Carefully, to not bother your neighbors.
Hey Seth, i was out biking pretty far from home without a quicklink and my chain broke, so i found a string on the ground and tied the two ends of the chain together on the bottom side of the drivetrain. Then i was able to pedal one full revolution, backpedal, and repeat. Its a pretty sketchy fix but it beat walking home
I’ve got to say, having subscribed to you a while back when I was still into mountain biking, and now being a hardcore bmxer with no desire to take up mountain biking again, I still enjoy your videos immensely!
Good tips. Nice video. I had a chain break years ago and ended up walking home. Since then, along with chain tool, I keep a strip of chain links in the tool bag. Exact chain length is not important unless you have a single-gear bike. If you don't have a truing stand, put a cable tie on your fork and cut it where it just touches the rim. As wheel turns observe the gap and tighten spokes accordingly. After decades of working on my own bikes, just learned this from a youtube video this year.
If the bolt is not too rounded, you could also use a rubber band between the bolt and the hex. It should help to have enough grip to unscrew the bold. I've used this trick to get rid of a rounded top cap bold and it worked well.
The valve stem nuts to hold brake bolts/spacers is truely AWESOME. I tried elec tape last time, it fell off. Didnt think of those nuts, and I have loads of them spare!
As a pro mechanic I've used the valve-nut tip when doing fork overhauls for years. Glad to see it being spread to other riders! Once I remove the fork I like to use a pedal strap threaded through the headtube to secure the headset bearings, spacers and stem. This helps keep everything in the proper order, makes assembly easier, and most importantly it keeps the handlebar from dangling so that you're not putting stress on your brake hoses.
You inspired me so much I have built so dirt jumps in my yard and its amazing I will use you packing tool next time I build a jump. Keep up the good work
@@INTEL965GAMES The joke is that it's obviously not real Mexican food, and nobody believes it is. I also suspect that the recipe itself is a bit of a joke.
Just bought my first hardtail in about 10 years mostly thanks to your videos. Needless to say, I overexerted myself during the first ride and puked next to a park bench. You never realize how hard biking actually is until you sit on one and realize that stamina isn't just a video game stat anymore.
I have a couple for you, you're not the only one who thinks ahead, for chain stay protector I used road bike handlebar wrap, I used cork for weather resistant and lightweight, another thing I thought about was my cable and hose routing, I ran everything thing to compensate for a 180 degree turn, but I also ran my cables a little shorter than my brake lines, so if it does happen the cables will grab before the hydraulic lines do, call it a failsafe, I would rather replace a cable as apposed to the alternative, AKA fluid everywhere, I hope you get this and share, I love your channel along with many others, you have been a great place for knowledge and insertion, one more thing, the road bike handlebar wrap comes in so many colors and forms it's the perfect product for chain stay protection.
Tip for the valve core removal - Tyre levers, specifically the metal ones, the hook end that clips onto the spoke is the same size you need to unscrew the core... you're welcome ;)
I just recently snapped my chain in bentonville. It came back and skinned my shin, Invest in shin guards. Edit: I’m trying to lube my suspension fork. Any substitutes for fork lube? Since I don’t have any.
Yard Sale Dale I was trying to be “steezy” and showing off infront of my brother but my chain when off of my cassette and I started pedaling and it and it snapped. I actually had the KMC Gold chain so that’s trashed.
Good zip tie cutting hack when on the trail. For when i'm home, I bought flush cutters for zip ties.... never have a sharp zip tie end ever again and well worth the $5. I'll never use standard wire cutters again because they always leave a very sharp edge and i've cut myself by accident many times before.
"Find a hex wrench" **Pauses Video** Me: Okay i got this very expensive 200$ hex wrench! **Plays video** "Don't make it too expensive, since we're going to destroy it" Me: frick
After working on my brake caliper I forgot to bend the pin that threads through the brake pads in order to secure the them, so it fell out. I used a piece a bamboo and two zip ties on each end to secure it. It worked so well I hated to remove it once back home. Great vid!
Hey Seth! Love the channel and what you're doing for the community. I have a suggestion for the next bike hack video. "How to dial in a bigger than expected dropper post". For me, I have a 150mm that's about 1 inch to high for me and really sucks because it came with the bike and I had no option to change it. I've thought about doing a shoelace tied from my seat to my seatpost clamp, when I've dialed in the right height. Or better yet, a thin plastic wrapped metal wire, or normal wire with some nice small metal crimps. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe you could!
Late reply, but some droppers allow you to lower the travel. You’ll want to unscrew the deal collar and find the keyways (slots on the stanchion). Put some spacers between the keys and upper bushing, and you’re good to go! If you look up “travel adjust dropper” you can find some videos covering the process, although you may have to hack it a bit (your dropper probably doesn’t have proper shims available).
One thing I've added to my "on the go" tool kit, is one of those tiny KEY knives. It's a fold out knife the size and shape of a key, even fits on a keychain, and if you sharpen this well when you buy a new one it's a very capable mini knife. I've had to use one several times since I've started carrying it, and have given them to a few of my biking friends. It cuts patches to size, cuts zip ties, cuts tape, we had to cut a piece of plastic one time & it cut that well, many uses. ~JSV
Wait a minute, if you don't have the tools to repair your chain (chain tool) then the hack is to use a chain tool to make your chain smaller and wrap it around your chain ring... im kind of confused
Last time this happened to me I just took a little stick roughly the size of the pinhole and put it in there to keep the chain closed. You can't pedal this way but it'll get you down the mountain, even with bent chain links and no tools required.
A hack I came up with today out of necessity in conjunction with another hack (technique?) I already knew of. I bought a $20 complete front wheel and rotor to replace the one stolen off my bike. The disk was very wobbly, and rubbed on the brake pad on one side. I loosened the caliper, squeezed the brake lever, and tightened them again (the known hack), but the disk still rubbed for a good bit of the rotation. I took a crescent wrench and adjusted it to just a bit wider than the disk, and was able to true the disk by just spinning the wheel on the upside-down bike, using the tire logo position to reference where exactly in the rotation it made the sound. No truing stand or weird brake-disk-bending specialty tool needed!
Try 'vacuum sealing' zip lock bags by sucking on a straw through a small hole at the top before you close the bag. This keeps everything in place and prevents stuff from rattling around and smushing together during a ride
Without all the home mechanics i would not be an avid cycler. So thanks Seth for your videos. P.S. i think FDA has ruled it illegal for advertisements to claim eggs as nutritious, but no matter, them nutrients come from toast and avocados
A buddy of mine recomended to apply silicon shine (on a clean, dry bike) to prevent dirt from sticking to easily. Never tried it, but im sure I will someday
Seth I've been a diesel technician for 25yrs. I've cut countless zip tie ends. I've never thought about just twisting them off. This afternoon I replace everyone on everything in my garage.
That rear axle demonstration makes me really glad that all of my bike wheels have regular hex bolts there instead of anything recessed. Sure, those can be stripped too, but it would take a LOT to pull that off unintentionally given how rarely I take my wheels off.
here’s a hack for you if you want to ride with minimum gear and need to carry an air canister, you can attach the canister to your bike by using one of those hand pump holders which mount underneath your bottle cage.
You can also use your fork as a trying stand by putting a ziptie on the stansion or wherever is up against the rim (or rotor) and use it like a trying stand ☺️
Try a rental bike, or if you want t buy, think of a used bike. In this case you often get really good value for money.´, though you need to do some repairments maybe.
Hey Seth... As a suggestion, how about a video about the most important things you think people should take on a ride? I went through your video history and it appears you've never done one like that. I know others have, but I'm curious about your take on it. What do you take with you on every ride? What makes you feel well-prepared for anything you might reasonably expect to experience on the trail?
Do you think that what I do without you you’re the best UA-cam are ever I love your videos I watch them all the time even if I can’t I sneak onto my device and watch them you’re the best keep up the great work I watch you on the toilet in the shower just in the lounge when I’m doing anything
The Tecnu spray is pretty good stuff. That's not coming from a MTB perspective as I've only recently started riding again after 20 year but from many years working as Ranger and coming into contact with kinds of bites and rashes. If you grab a mini travel spray bottle, you can even decant some to have with you on the trail.
Hack for you sir! Remember Bike Lust? Expensive and expensive but a great alternative is furniture polish like Pledge. We used it in our shop for a dust free glowing finish on the bike. I've used it on my aluminum 2012 Stumpjumper it's entire life and the finish is still amazing. Don't spray the bike (disc brakes...), Just spray a rag and wipe on. Note! I have not tried on carbon so use with discretion there. Happy trails!
If you have a chain tool you can fix your chain properly on the trail
@Jack Juliano if you don't need the chain, just remove the chainring. Less work.
@Jack Juliano if I remove a chain ring, I will have a saw blade in my back pack? Okay...
Lol that was my thought as well..
Jack Juliano if you’ve gone to the effort of carrying a chain tool, why wouldn’t you also carry some spare links with you? 😂

Hey Seth can u make a video about dealing with poison oak I feel like every mountain biker has dealt with tit
The Tecnu spray is pretty good stuff. That's not coming from a MTB perspective as I've only recently started riding again after 20 year but from many years working as Ranger and coming into contact with kinds of bites and rashes. If you grab a mini travel spray bottle, you can even decant some to have with you on the trail.
Hack for you sir! Remember Bike Lust? Expensive and expensive but a great alternative is furniture polish like Pledge. We used it in our shop for a dust free glowing finish on the bike. I've used it on my aluminum 2012 Stumpjumper it's entire life and the finish is still amazing. Don't spray the bike (disc brakes...), Just spray a rag and wipe on. Note! I have not tried on carbon so use with discretion there. Happy trails!
If you have a chain tool just fix the chain. Take out the broken link and take it easy as the derailleur will be tight
