If you have a chain tool you can fix your chain properly on the trail

I've worked in a bike shop for nearly 7 years fixing bikes, and that hack about using valve stem nuts is brilliant 😂. Definatly going to use that from now on

Hey Seth, i was out biking pretty far from home without a quicklink and my chain broke, so i found a string on the ground and tied the two ends of the chain together on the bottom side of the drivetrain. Then i was able to pedal one full revolution, backpedal, and repeat. Its a pretty sketchy fix but it beat walking home

Hey Seth, an added tip for cutting zip ties: Use another zip tie. You push the 2nd tie onto the tail of the first, snug them up, and proceed to do that twist trick. The 1st tie usually shears off perfectly flush with its nub, then you just pull the 1st ties tail out of the 2nd ties nub and you're good to go!

the avocado seed removal hack is the best one

I’ve got to say, having subscribed to you a while back when I was still into mountain biking, and now being a hardcore bmxer with no desire to take up mountain biking again, I still enjoy your videos immensely!

Good tips. Nice video. I had a chain break years ago and ended up walking home. Since then, along with chain tool, I keep a strip of chain links in the tool bag. Exact chain length is not important unless you have a single-gear bike. If you don't have a truing stand, put a cable tie on your fork and cut it where it just touches the rim. As wheel turns observe the gap and tighten spokes accordingly. After decades of working on my own bikes, just learned this from a youtube video this year.

You inspired me so much I have built so dirt jumps in my yard and its amazing I will use you packing tool next time I build a jump. Keep up the good work

As a pro mechanic I've used the valve-nut tip when doing fork overhauls for years. Glad to see it being spread to other riders! Once I remove the fork I like to use a pedal strap threaded through the headtube to secure the headset bearings, spacers and stem. This helps keep everything in the proper order, makes assembly easier, and most importantly it keeps the handlebar from dangling so that you're not putting stress on your brake hoses.
