Thank you so much Evan! It's been great getting to ride together for these past few months.

Come out and shred with me in Asheville soon!

Awesome idea, Evans. might have serviced the brakes, saved some money on that and taking a look at the setting and servicing the fork might have done more for the armpump than carbon bars :D Love the idea of the series, just my two cents is showing to people that with less money and better servicing they can get great results.

It was cool to see new brakes but you could have put on new pads and a bleed. SRAM Guides are pretty powerful. I use them in the bike park and stop power is not an issue. Maybe you can use those on a future project 😎

[camperhonsa]

I think a suspension service would have helped so much more than carbon bars. Either way this is an awesome series, keep it up🤘

[tracymcmanus]

Love what you’re doing here. Great to see you supporting companies like Trail 1. Another good one is PNW. I was able to pick up new bars from them while they were having a sale. Completely changed my ride. Keep pumping them out!

as a german i am happy to see that you like "our" products so much, like Canyon (i also ride an Canyon) and Magura and Ergon. I hope your subscriber enjoys his bike.

This is just awesome giving back to your subscribers for there support and a new series cant wait for the next one

[VACPOV]

Great job and very helpful to help out another fellow rider with some upgrades just makes our community better looking forward to your upcoming videos

[thinshadow]

Super awesome of you to do this, and I love the idea of having your video revenue be the budget for the work. Really clever idea!

[caseybechard]

Great video concept! I think this could be a really popular series.

[offdaystv]

Your videos and GMBNs videos are the gold standard of mountain biking content and information. I prefer you because you don’t assume we have thousands to spend on parts and I like your honest reviews. You are also fantastic at explaining things and keeping it interesting

[andrewpm]

Helping your viewers/subscribers is awesome! Spreading the love and making it interesting at the same time. Great content my man

[timslim]

Wow dude got free upgrades and put the time pressure on you. Cool of you to do that man. Hope it comes back around for ya. You deserve it

[RFFONSECA]

Nice to see you doing stuff like this supporting the community 👍

[caldeoreaginkarlr.]

awesome! Evans. You really are one of the kindest mtb youtubers out there. Keep doing what you do best <3

[playgroundchooser]

Yeah! Fooker pedals for the win!
KevCentral introduced those to me back when they were only $18 a pair! Rode them hard for three years, still working great.

[LoganJohnston]

Super cool of you to do this for a subscriber! Love your channel

[AMTBer]

Another great video as always I love how you do nice things for other bikers and help them get back on the trail.

[eugene]

Nice that you are doing the sponsorship part with the bike cleaning. Making the best of your time!

Helping a person with “trashed” bike that’s worth a couple grand and is a very good bike brand instead of actually helping someone with a actual trash bike
