What I am looking forward to in 2025, is the hope that Owen will finally stop banging on about mass damping.

Doddy........Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#askgmbntech I have two shock pumps, digital and analogue. When I connect either of them and pump up the shock, I then see the pressure steadily decreasing (quite quickly) before I’ve even unscrewed the pump. I’ve tried screwing them on more tightly but both seem to exhibit this behaviour. Am I doing something wrong or is this common?

Thanks for the tech video very helpful and informative. Love the channel stay safe

I haven't watched a video since doddy left.

How much is it?

Nah, i bought the one from Knipex. Really solid and I can use it on other things. Much better quality

Doddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

#askgmbntech is it bad to top out a suspension?

Fantastic

Bring Doddy back 🙌🏼

Layzzz ee bike

Absolutely way too heavy. Love my flat bar gravel bike . Light quick and easy to lift over gates without tearing my rotator cuff 😮

Awesome to see that Nukeproof is still living on in some form. It gives me hope that one of the best and most underrated Hardcore Gravel/touring/do anything bikes around - The Nukeproof Digger - may see a resurrection. Come on OneOne you know it makes sense 🤘

I'd like to see biking to be more affordable to the masses, not exclusive. You should see the prices of bikes here in Malaysia and how exclusive this sports is getting day by day. Sad actually

Oddly, you briefly show a small jar of Dumonde Tech freeehub x grease; I bought it specifically to make a loud hub quieter, and it works... Silent at first then gradually gets loud again over a few hundred miles. Kind of like an incentive and audible reminder to clean and grease my hub every once in a while.

I currently have 5 MTBs, I don't ever foresee me getting a Fat MTB

Couple of beauties there. Great engineering.

#askgmbntech curious thing about Shimano XT breaks - after full gravity bleed + few lever bleeds. Everything is working fine, better than new even. However, if I open the bleed port on either lever, there will be some fluid missing from it, (way more than screw displacement, about 3 screws worth I recon). I can top it off or not, breaks work fine, but when I top it off and let it sit for a night it will be missing the same amount again, but still breaks work fine. What is happening here? I can't locate any leak, and even if there were one breaks wouldn't work, and it would be unlikely to happen to both front and rear. So the question is: What's up? Is there some "overflow" mechanism in the caliper or lever that would drain the surplus of oil? If so, where? I put paper towel on every suspect area, nothing there.

My first SPD pedals after riding bikes for 45+ years. 30 years riding MTB with flats, hitting corners like an American flag track motorbike rider. No, not Speedway - (without drive, your crashing} - flat track, is right on the edge of crashing, wearing out the soles of your shoes quicker than your tyres. Great stuff.

Think the first question was trying to get across what I wondered about 15 years back, I wanted to know what sole brake item would benefit me most when I was first starting to work on my on bikes, a better caliper or better lever system?. I ended up goin with the lever because it was more aesthetically pleasing. I fitted the silver deore levers to the standard brake cables and left the calipers as standard an they worked brilliantly, obviously not as powerful as it would be if it was paired with its correct caliper but still a fast improvement on how the standard levers performed an looked

These remind me of the cutting tool that cut guitar strings...lol iam sure they work great, but also you can tack it with a wielder or braze them with a torch..❗️

Those loud hubs are such a lousy trend

Me

Have the Pati Tool cable cutters. Expensive but they are very high quality product. I wouldn’t buy any other brand.

need to demand the malls ect put in Dave bike racks.but prairire pirate run the place ,,or is it Dragons.

IT'S SIMPLE ALIGNMENT & CABLE TENSION AND BEING FAMILIAR WITH REAR DERAILLERS !!!

100 mil of sealant thorn problem solved. If you complain about the extra weight your a wanker.

would you just look at it.. well look at that . all you did was look at it!!

50 hours for a service 😂😂😂 so 25 trips to work and back then (i take in a few rough trails on the way to work as its by far the most direct and cuts out a lot of tarmac) i honestly think these manufacturers are smoking crack when they think that these service intervals are anything like realistic for a normal person. It would just be cheaper to buy new forks when they're knackered

Cars are made of the same materials as bicycles.

The extra girth track pump sounds like a good Idea for tyre swaps!

Hardtail with aggressive geo. They are just so capable and provide an incredible experience

Ibis have had the Pork Chop bag for Ripley and Ripmo frames for years.

I just got an Orbea Kemen. I hadn’t really considered why it looked so sleek. I just needed a commuter and dreamt of occasional weekend runs with the kids on a shotgun pro or mac ride. Turns out , because of the internal routing, i can't affix them. And the topbar mounted ones can't get over the fat topbar (that I've seen, so far). If anyone stumbles on this comment, i welcome suggestions in early 2025.

Isn't low speed compression also known as tire pressure? 😏

The Great looking 5Dev 7075 aluminum cranks are over 💰700.00🍁 and the even cooler 6/4 Titanium versions are 💰3,000.00🍁🤯

I never thought I would consider a high priced bike pump but that topeak jb booster has me interested.

A beautiful million dollars walking stick

The experience I've had with topeak multitools is bad they get rusty and break easily not for me thankyou

I had one of those shock stems in 1999, it was a Tranz-X brand. Thankfully i bought a 6061 Zoom adjustable stem in 2000👍👍. I replaced the Zoom stem and riser bars in 2001 to a 6061 TITEC Big Al 10° rise stem ($91.00) to go along with a pair of 6061 aluminum TITEC H*llbent risers ($55.00)👍👍

7075 T6 aluminum Chris King headsets. I bought the Royal Navy blue in 2011 for my Trek 4300🤘🤘. I'm hoping to buy a Hope headset next year for my other Trek 4300. Their products look Great🤘🤘

Ride fat bikes and love Salsa bikes

I just converted my Santa Cruz Blur LT to 69er but chose a low travel 29er fork so i get the same geo as the dt swiss 150 travel in 26inch.

08:10 Explain that to Chris King.

That sounds amazing actually.

Thanks for the tech info

There is literally nothing wrong with existing valves when taken care of properly. 2 is already too many imo.

What brings me joy on my bike? SIMPLICITY! riding a hardtail with external cables, a lockout on the fork, a sorted saddle, 1x 12 gears, reliable brakes. Take the bike out of the shed and ride, no shaking linkages, no complicated set-up, no hours of extra maintenance...just ride. Pure joy!
