10 Bike Hacks for MTB and Beyond

Here are ten bike hacks for MTB and Beyond!
My music: share.epidemicsound.com/trQSg
Alright guys I moved out of my house and I’m officially homeless…or well I’m staying here for now. Not bad. Anyway the move is underway and my normal posting schedule should resume by next week, but for now I’ve got another 10 bike hacks to hold you over. Let’s get started.
One of the best ways to make a quick chain repair is with a master link. Just remove the broken part of the chain, join it again with the master link and you’re on your way. You can keep a master link in your backpack but storing it on your bike means it’ll always be at the ready. I stuffed two links into my bar end and left a piece of string dangling to pull them back out with. What other ways can you think of to secure spare links?
Have you ever been stuck without a bottle opener? Platform pedals seem to have been designed for the job. Just hook the lip of the bottle under the cage and pry it off. I’m sure there’s a spot you can do this even on clipless pedals.
In the comments of the last video someone said that you can clean a chain by tying two toothbrushes together. Let’s try it. I’m assuming that you fasten them at the base so they meet here and pedal the chain between them. Actually, not bad. Using a solvent would help too. If you do this, make sure to clearly label them so you don’t mix up your toothbrushes.
On some bikes, the cables rub against the frame and cause damage to the paint. After a while it can wear it down right to the metal. Velcro pads will not only stop this from happening, but eliminate the noise caused by the cable hitting the frame. If you don’t want to stick velcro to your frame you can also just stick it to the cable. Velcro is available in different colors to match your bike.
Keeping your rotors clean is essential for good braking power. In fact, the oil from your skin can make them practically useless. You can clean them with alcohol and paper towels, but on on the fly these prep pads are really easy. This whole box was 1.50, and the pads can be kept in your travel toolbox, car, or backpack. It’s even good to do this after taking your bike off the rack with all the grime from the road.
Energy gels, or goo packs, are quite useful. They’re basically disgusting syrupy packages of pure calories that you can suck down while training or racing. In a pinch, you can use honey instead. It’s 100% natural, available in packets, and not nearly as disgusting, in fact it’s awesome. In many cases, it’s also much cheaper.
If you have a pickup truck you can carry a bike like this, but protecting your tailgate is essential. They sell really good products that do this, and they even hold the bikes in place, but there’s a cheaper way. Just get a piece of cardboard and cut it to size. You can even customize it to look just like real ones. Fold it at the top, and lay it over your tailgate. Function, economy, and style.
Even a nice clean hydration pack will have that rubbery taste and smell. You can freshen up your reservoir with a drop of citrus. Lemon or lime juice is sold in bottles but you can also use the real thing. Now, you enjoy nice lime-infused water for your ride instead of rubber. Do avoid dropping whole fruits in there though, as a Camelbak sangria will ruin your reservoir in a hurry. A drop won’t though.
Even good hydration packs make your back sweaty, but you can take the edge off with some ice. Fill the pack partially with water, and fill it with air. Lay it in the freezer and take extra care not to block the water outlet. Once it’s frozen solid you’ll have a nice layer of ice right along the back of the reservoir. Top it off with water, and it’ll stay icy cold. This will melt way slower than ice cubes, while still providing enough meltwater to drink as you go.
More than one commenter said that tying a zip tie or string around your hub can keep it clean, and I’ve seen this on cruisers and novelty bikes. Out of curiosity, let’s see how well this works. Maybe it would work eventually? Yeah, a bigger piece of string, leather strap, or zip tie might work better, but let me show you a better way.
So there you go, 10 more bike hacks. To keep doing these videos I need you guys to tell me your hacks below. If it’s one we haven’t done before, you could see it here in the future. Thanks for riding with me today, and I’ll see you next time.

Hey guys! Some of you saw a livestream in your subscription feed and this was a total mistake on my part. I was going to do it but decided not to on account of massive construction noise across the street. This was never meant to make it into your feed, so I apologize to any of you waiting around for me to show up. I’m all moved into my new house in Asheville, but still ironing out little things like stable Internet and a desk to work at. I’ll get you the next contest winner video this week, followed by a new project with wood (hint: Seth’s Bike Shack). Thanks to everyone for being so patient. KZbin is now 100% full time for me, so the video output is going to increase shortly. For all of you who have been subscribed since the early days, WE have finally made it.

Hey Seth. Great videos! An old sleeping bag works great as a tailgate pad. Just unzip the foot end till the corner, pull the one side of your gate off and slip the bag over. Then its protected on both sides. Tested on a 2013 GMC Sierra.

[@tonysansom]

I'm new to this channel as I've just started MTB-ing again. I had the idea of the toothbrushes in my mind and then I saw the thumbnail so gave it a try. Works great. I also found that if you tape them together right you can open them like a pair of spring-clip pliers and when you let go they clamp closed around the chain.

[@cyborg3032]

Good video Seth.The string around the hub for keeping it clean is as old as bicycling itself. Originally they used a loop of leather thong (strap) with the suede side of the leather on the hub and the shiny side of the leather facing out. Small diameter rope or cord is also used. The loop will move from side to side during cornering, thus cleaning your hub.

[@mattbafundo420]

another good option for the tailgate is an old blanket

[@CharlieBennici]

Or a towel to soak up anything off your bike if it was wet.

[@tysonstone6642]

When you are wearing a hydration pack, sometimes you will have some time between sips, which means when you go to take another drink it will be warm or even hot for the first bit then cool down as you drink. In order to prevent this when you are done having a drink, blow back into your pack, not a lot just until you hear bubbles then stop to prevent swelling. This will keep ALL the water nice and cold👌🏻👌🏻

[@jesparon]

[@BrianCollins]

The hub clean trick was with nylon cord. 3/8 soft nylon cord cut to about 6 or 7 inches. Loop it around the hub and then electric tape the ends together like a mouth harp or Ankh. That was a thing in the 70's on our bikes. You's have to use a bit more rope on the brake hubs and Sturmey-Archer hubs if they're still around. It would never get clean around the oil hole though.

[@davidadamus177]

Love the cardboard truck protector, that had me laughing!

[@victorgiannella8463]

My hacks Wrap a tube around the chain stay Rotate your tires if you run the same front and back because rears normally wear out faster if you Carry a spare tube and pump throw some zip ties and electrical tape in your bag for any use make a first aid/patch kit and put it under the seat use bike shops suspension pumps for free if you have a coil fork and just got a dropper post like me lol

[@davidmithen9223]

Victor Giannella but then you end up with two worn out tyres at the same time. I'd rather get a new one on the front when the rear wears out and put the old front one on the rear. That way I always have a good tyre up front which is better for control.

+ride pnw nope either work.

[@davidmithen9223]

Ride PNW depends on which version of english you use but we all know tyre is the correct way :P

[@dylanjacobs913]

Ok ok 😫

[@s1lwo711]

Actually you really need to have good traction on your front tire. Putting the worn out rear tire at the front would not be a good idea. If you want to save some money on buying tires, when the rear worns out you change it with the front (good) one, and then you buy a new front tire, so only the rear one ends up in the garbage.

[@bf3forevergreene165]

I think a good hack to spread around is when you’re replacing a spoke you can use the broken one to prevent losing it in the rim by threading it halfway to hold in in place while you thread the new one on. Idk about you, but before I learned this from my friend I lost many spokes to the abyss of my rim (much like a pick being dropped into an acoustic guitar).

Not sure if they are still around but 60 years ago everyone used pipe cleaners to wrap around the hub to keep it clean. They were sold by tobacconists to clean pipe stems and incorporate a wire running through the centre of a fluffy "string" so it was easy to wrap it around the hub and secure it. Worked very well. (bit of oil helped keep the chrome on the hub go rusty - guess everything is alloy or plastic now)
