So, after you “summon a local” with trailside relief, should you wipe your hands on your shirt or shorts before shaking their hand to say thanks?

29er tube for all wheel sizes - possibly the most useful tip I've ever seen (maybe cause my family runs 3 wheel sizes...). Cheers Seth for the awesome vids

[@tonyvandyke7588]

That last hack had me rollin cause it’s so freaking true! 🤣

[@christopherelson5119]

Hey Seth! Related to the dirt jump sifting hack, you can grab some steel mesh and mould it around the top of your wheel barrow. Then as you pile dirt into the barrow, it will sift out all the sticks and rocks as you go. Then just take off the mesh when you pour it out.

[@danervin2530]

I’ve been using 27.5 tubes as spares in ALL my bike tires for years. Even the road bike. You can usually get them in 27.5x1.75-2.25”. This has worked for me in my 29x2.6 (they stretch), 27.5x2.35, and most impressively 700cx28mm. With the roadie repair, I put another 500 miles on it across Iowa without a problem. You just have to be more careful when installing, as to not pinch all the excess rubber.

[@fallbrightt9223]

4:15 You know the metal ring that locks the valve stem in place? On some of those rings, there is a smaller section that sticks out. You can flip it, and the smaller protrusion will fill in the gap between the valve and the hole. I apologize if that was a bit confusing, and I can DM you on Instagram if you want.

[@drewsenthused6079]

Glad I waited to watch this one. Looking forward to the next, no rush of course.

[@markonikolic1386]

Knowing Seth, it's never gonna be completly finished. There is always room for new features and things to hurt yourself on.

[@VlogEpicness]

[@samwilbur6155]

We use the same reciprocating saw, nice! protip, if your so inclined, you can put those cut out stumps into pots and grow them into your very own bonsai collection.

[@ShutUpandRideMTB]

I thought I was going to know all of these. That tube trick tho! Nice!

[@garyg7145]

You can also stretch a 26" or 27.5" tube to fit 29" wheels no problem.

[@peglor]

I bring 26" presta tubes in my pack even though I'm running 27.5 and 29" wheels mostly (Have 24" and 26" bikes too though). I reckon the 26" is the most universal donor. I've never bought a 27.5" tube as they're too close in size to 26, which I had already. The people running plus size/fatbike tyres are about still probably stuck trying to use any normal sized tube though.

[@ignorablelettuce2354]

glad your doing this stuff again. I love this type of content. Thanks.

[@TheButlerNZ]

4:44 with fold out allen keys, fold out all the opposing side keys and it extends the handle... Seth seems to miss this in his example.. this effectively doubles the length of the handle.

[@JackOnlinee]

I learn so much useless information from Seth, I don't even ride or own a bike. But I love it. He's preparing me for a future of thinking of riding.

[@BushidoMusicOfficial]

You can use an old inner tube as a buffer for metal on metal clamped accessories like rear carriers that mount onto your frame. Use them in between the part that clamps on your seatpost and frame and avoid scratches. Edit: you will have to cut the tube to size obviously

It enables me to take a slow ride with my children, but I learn so much from the videos. (I have a defective back, shoulder and knees) but cycling is a great physical activity, even for persons with reduced physical abilities. And your videos make a difference.

Seth, try this hack, If your like me you can’t afford really expensive hydration packs or just don’t want to spend tons of $ so you go to Walmart and get one for$20. However, they can be hard to air out. Take the water tube and put it inside the pack, and then place it vertical so it leaves the pack open. Helps the pack dry.
