3:48 when you're parents leave for a road trip and you left your gameboy advance on the charger

I can picture the "air quotes" happening as your recording. Once again, classic Shredist, great job

This gives me major early Seth videos. Good work! I know all the shots you did took forever to set up.

I do the exact same with the Vinyl. Even one ride makes it so much harder to go back and clean it fully, too!

My other thought is that it’s maybe $40 in vinyl vs $100 or more for a ride wrap kit, and you still have to apply it yourself. Might as well cut it on the fly and apply it in the high wear areas. It’s pretty easy!

Nice job with the pre-ride preparing! I totally agree with that you have to disassemble, lube everything and assemble the bike together, before you start riding the hell out of the alloy horse!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Sick video I might get a new bike soon so this was helpful 😀

I'd recommend keep the chain factory lube at first and change it at the first needed clean. It's not staying clean for longer with another chainlube.

Always flats on tubes? Maybe you are just using those cheap non protected tires. I use Conti with protection case and got not flats since 3 to4 years.

That's a lot of things to check and do! But it seems worth it.

4:05 last year I lost part of the lower shock bolt on my bike, and thanks to part availability and shipping issues I couldn’t get another for two months. This was right in the middle of summer... Needless to say, I’ll be checking my bolts from now on lol

Good video. You could add cleaning the drivetrain and use wax instead of oil from the beginning.

Hey all, quick tip on bedding brakes in: don't come to a full stop on your first few runs during the bedding process. This will leave a deposit of brake pad material in one spot on the disc and will make it much more prone to squealing later on. I suggest finding a hill and going down it around 5 or more times while pulling on the brakes. Again, don't come to a full stop for the first few runs, just let yourself roll down the hill whilst applying pressure to the brakes

Trying to get my first dual suspension bike! Awesome vids and love that you’re local!!

Oh man so much things but I will try to save some buck with the things I already got and can handle, like some tools and stuff I could rehuse. prob will need to buy grease and whatnot, thank you for this video, as a beginner it really helps to know what to do first, even before the first long ride or something
