10 Bike Hacks for MTB, BMX, and Beyond

Today we’ve got 10 more bike hacks for mountain, BMX, and beyond. This time we’ll be doing them in brand new surroundings, at my shop in Asheville North Carolina. Let’s get started!

Is Seth *ever going to run out of these bike hacks?*

I don't know how he comes up with all these

[eviltyres]

thanks Seth, I really appreciate
I've been looking for some cheap garden hose for a while and this was the best solution I found.

You have quite the shop! makes me wish I had a garage

Hey Seth, great video as always. Being a first responder, I have some recommendations for you. I like that you have a first aid kit, that being said you should beef up your supplies. You should carry a tourniquet (you can strap it to your bike), some compressed gauze (preferably one with a hemostatic agent) and maybe even some chest seals (or petroleum gauze). I don't think bandaids and tweezers will be enough for the kind of riding you do.

A lot of the times you are riding, deep in the woods. Help may take a long time to get to you. I like where your heads at though.

Hey seth, very useful hacks! About making the mtb singlespeed, just pay attention about chain growth on full suspension bikes.

You can also put Teflon tape underneath your brake handlebar clamps. This will keep them tight but will allow them to rotate upon impact. (tried and tested on dirt bikes for brake and clutch perches)

Great video man, it's useful but at the same time funny.Love from Greece

[michaeldavis]

A trick we used on our dirt bike levers was to warp Teflon tape around the bar, then re-install the lever. Helps the level spin around the bar with breaking when you crash.

I was wondering what the hell happened to my hose.

[scottbiggs]

Love your sense of humor! I usually can't stand these "[insert number here] things/hacks for you" videos, but your understated self-deprecating dry humor is a big WIN. Thanks!

[TtopMusic]

For the seatpost plug, covering the bar end in electrical tape works much better. You'll find it's a very specific fit - once you hit too many to fit, one single unwrap makes a beautiful perfect fit.

Greetings from Black Mountain, brother! When I heard "shop in Asheville, NC" I had to drop you a line or two. Just found your channel yesterday and have powered about all the way through your videos/playlists! Thank you for what you do. I'm a n00b looking to get back into the sport after a decade or so and you are a real, honest inspiration. Cheers!

[michaelfabian]

Kickass vid as ALWAYS Seth! So glad you're back and all moved in and making vids again buddy. Hope everything went smoothly for ya and cannot wait to see the vids and series ya have planned coming up for us. You are the BEST!

[civilizeddelinquent]

Seth...you have reignited my lost love of biking! Deeply appreciate it and killer vids.

freezing your hydration bladder also works. i just rinse it with cleaned water and freeze. it also chills the water for your next ride
