Assembling and Testing my New Diamondback 5C

Today I have a new bike, which is a 2022 Diamondback 5C. We're going to set it up, give it a few customizations, and then shake it down!

Thanks for featuring the headset caps we made for you! It's an honor to see those on your video and on your bike. Thanks for making such an important contribution to the world of cycling!

Also, we have nearly 100 videos on our channel about framebuilding for anyone who wants to check that out.

I like how honest he is. "I don't need a new bike because my old one is perfect and dialed but I guess the contract says I need a new bike in a new color so here we go."

The “I need to adjust this” on the wheel reflector got me🤣

Every time I see you do a tubeless conversion/anything tubeless related I remember the great explosion from a while back where there was just sealant everywhere. It kinda looked like you also had that in mind in this video. Classic. Even Oscar looked a little nervous. Bright color bike... at least its not yellow. 👍

"Gotta find the hole.. Gets easier with experience" - I see what you did there Seth!

Gotta say big fan of the Orange! seems like a good build kit from Diamondback as well. Would love to see the old bike be given to someone deserving again. That is always awesome.

The wireless GX shifting is amazing man. You can dial everything in so perfectly using the app it’s pretty incredible. Can’t recommend it enough.

I really hope you frame up or put up that old bike for display in the garage. Its the legendary Drama. We miss him and will never forget that cute ol pup!

I ride a Diamondback because of your videos. Saw a great deal on one and figured "Hey, if it's good enough for Seth, it's good enough for me". In my 30 years of riding it's the best fitting and best performing bike I've owned.

The bike's looking great and about your bruse it does look bad but how did you ride soo good with such a bruise you are a legend!!

Seth be having a PTSD when pumping the tire.
Never forget, "The great sealant massacre of 2020"

I had these serious colour bikes for years. Black with red, black with grey, dark blue .... bronze ....

Then I got a Nomad in "adder green" colour and it just cheers me up every time I look down at it. It's harder to clean and it is really hard to colour match.... it is not elegant yet .... I just love the colour.

I imagine the orange is just like that. I used to have a fluorescent orange frame back and I loved it too.

Hey Seth! Love your videos.Helped so much during quarantine.😄😁

Cheap ass pro-tip: Those giant zip ties that come with new bike packaging are so big, it's super easy to release the lock with a screwdriver and then you can reuse them again for something else. Giant zip ties do come in really handy. I used the ones that came on my Santa Cruz for years to attach my light batteries to my frame :)

Just got my 5C yesterday. Built it last night. Can't wait for my 1st ride as soon as the weather gets better out here PNW

Every bike builder knows that taking off the packing is the longest part of build 😂

Diamondback frames have come a long way. Glad to see them back in the fray and there's no denying that you've helped them get alot of exposure. They were a boutique brand back in the 80's when I used to ride BMX (these brands didn't embrace the MTB revolution: Skyway, CW, Mongoose, Redline, Haro) although Mongoose is making strides. Would love to see DB and Mongoose grab some markethshare by lowering prices on high end bikes. Good looking ride BTW
