Bike check! All about my mountain bikes and what they're for

Today we'll do an update on my mountain bike fleet, which is now the best it has ever been. Sure, I've always had capable bikes, but I've also had decision paralysis when choosing which one to take out on the trail. Now, each bike has a very specific purpose.

Seth: *my FLEET*

[benlow]

this is exactly what it’s like when i explain my guitar collection, to people who don’t know about the hobby they have no idea why i need so many, to them it’s a bunch of guitars (or bikes), they may be different colors or shapes, but “they’re all just guitars (or bikes)”, but to people who are interested in the hobby know that some are better for different tasks, and some for others, and it’s also nice having multiple just for the unique experience

As a fellow Smol rider I appreciate you sharing your experiences that are not widely known to others. I just moved from a hard tail to a full sus 29er and yea it’s big even for small.

Literally just did the same thing & figured out what my ideal fleet is going to be! Downloaded all my strava data & compared what type of bike I was riding to what the ideal bike is for that scenario. Pretty insightful activity! Distilled the fleet down to 3 bikes: 1) Long-travel enduro for riding out west & bike-parks, 2) short-travel hard-tail for general trail riding, 3) "all-road" for urban commuting/road rides/gravel/bike-packing, probably will get 2 wheelsets for pavement & gravel/off-road. Maybe a DJ down the road, but we only have 1 decent spot where I live.

Bear with me. 😉

Despite I’m no mountain bike rider (nor trial or mud, etcetera) this channel has really become one of my favourites.
Short story: I haven’t been biking for years. A slipped disc (second one) caused problems with my left leg’s strength and nerve signals were So I sold my bike (hybrid) two years ago. However, since slipped discs have a tendency “to move/relocate its problems” the strength and the nerve’s signal (knock on wood) has returned. So, I bought a new bike last week (a hybrid arrived with DHL) and since I don’t want to challenge faith (I turned 63 the 10th) I have to wait for the snow and ice to melt. Winter arrived in March?! Gee… 😬
Anyhow, I really have enjoyed watching these videos, and even if I’m not into mountain bikes there are a lot of good things I picked up. One of those things are all the different bike parts-manufacturers and retailers, Seth mentioned. The thing is that I have never ever heard about any (maybe some) of those, and now a door flung open to lots of cheap, useful and good parts, on e.g. Amazon. (Amazon is rather new here in Sweden).

It’s funny how people stumble upon something and then find themselves “hooked”.

Thanks!

I love having a garage full of bikes. My old trail bike, new trail/enduro, dh, bmx and djs

[georgepeterson]

As jealous as I maybe I'm way more excited and happy to see any content you put out. Even if its making dog omelets I love this channel and everything you do sir thank you.

ive had a passion/interest for mountain biking for the longest time. i haven't had the means to buy a bike and go out on rides, but after saving for many, many months, i am finally getting a little closer to my dream of owning my own mountain bike :)

[Cool_Ishan]

Been watching Seth's bike hack since 2016. Never gets old :)

[Magicnaners]

Seth I just wanted to say, I haven't ridden a bike in over a decade and yet I love your content. You're incredibly engaging and endearing as a host! Keep it up!

[zethjugos]

Currently have 3 hardtails. An aggressive AM/trail for shredding, an xc bike for those long rides with friends and my old 26er gt avalanche that i mostly use for urban riding and dirtjumping

[bmmtb]

I needed this with all the sponsorship changes and new bikes. Great video!

[criggie]

Seth - for April Fools, do the same but with non-MTBs in your household.... the lineup might contain the knee-scooter, the gator, the shop/test bikes, the kid's bikes, find a road bike somewhere, etc.

[OnuJuss]

I litteraly tought maybe ask for bike check, YAY. Love ur vids, so top quality and my MOM even likes to watch tem with me.

[bikedibley]

Another strong positive comment for Revgrips. That video from two years ago still plagues our (UK Revgrips importer) social media marketing but these follow up inclusions really helps :)

[andrew_gardner]

I just took the Mac-Ride adapter off my bike and it's a bitter sweet thing. My 5yr old daughter is now too big to ride along, my knees were having to flop out to the sides and hurting, but she's still a little small to pedal around with me on the trails. Can't wait till she's out shredding the trails with me.

That DB Assault took me back to my childhood. I used to race a 20" DB Assault from around '96. Loved that bike.

[johnnybreshears]

Love the videos. I watched one of your older ones and saw that you’ve came down to Northwoods Trails in Hot Springs, Arkansas a while ago. So much of it has changed. The bridge over the dam is finished and many other trails. I thought it’d be cool if you came down here again and did a big ride. Might be a cool video. But on the chance that you do come down. Can you announce it on your YouTube channel, because I don’t have any social media.

I am watching him since 5/6 years. .he have become older but he is always young through his ideas

[petererbse]

I like that ¾ of the bikes are hardtails. Just a hint of proof to me how versatile they can be
