This is a great video, Doddy! More thorough interviews with the unsung heroes of mtb like this please - you know most of them, surely!

I just purchased a Stanley Rotator Ratchet because of this video. I didn't know I needed one until today.

Finn clearly knowes everything about bikes and suspension tuning, his t shirt confirmes that. (Kingdom brand tee)😁

[jackiegammon]

This was undoubtedly the best video GMBN has done in quite some time! It's always nice to have an actual mechanic talking about the shop info vs someone that simply watched a video and then is presenting it. And for future, PLEASE give us more of this and more info on setting up suspension.

I remember meeting finn when I worked at TF Tuned as a summer job while I was at uni in 2012. Super cool guy and his VW Camper wheel spins ALL THE TIME. I also used to use the lathe he now has when I worked at TF Tuned to make shock spacers, so it's nice to see its gone to a good home!

#askgmbntech Hi guys, big fan of the channel. Please give us a rundown of the mechanism behind a H/L compression and H/L rebound adjustment dials work. What actually happens inside the unit to change how it behaves? Thanks!

[jamespilar]

Straight forward comments, humble in a lot ways.He knows his trade.Also years of hands work.

[livefreeandshred]

That's funny. I have a broken enve m730 that I'll be making into shelf brackets too

[mortonfrankfire]

The man. The legend. Fin spends a significant amount of time repairing my screw ups! 😂

[kingkwassa]

I would love more personal workshop tours!

[coa]

Please more of this workshop and this dude, absolutly owemose

[dazgreen]

Doddy this was my fave ever gmbn tech video. Absolutely absorbing from stat to finish. Let's see more of this guy. When he said his fave thing was his lathe I knew he was a guy I could relate to.

I see he has some Wera tools. The Wera Zyclop is a great ratchet. Check it out! I've been thinking about sending Doddy one!

[thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

I love what he said about the rear shocks. I agree, total air sucks. spings are needed in case of failure. if weight is a problem buy titanium springs.

[esoxcycles]

One of your best videos Doddy. Love the workshop and tools. Fin seemed OK too. Love the other bits, how many of us have an r/c car or two in our bikecave?

[festol]

01:40 Thanks for caring sir!
Great show you got :)

[jayTmix]

I like those shelf supports that he made out of sections of rim!!

[leatherneckadventures]

Please do more of these type of vids with the interviews. It nice to see into what makes this sport so great.
