That sandblast hack is like a free ticket straight to Silicosis! First of all: sandblasting is pretty much NEVER done with actual sand. The most basic medium is glass bead, and you can buy it for a couple of dollars per pound. Secondly, you ALWAYS want to wear a decent respirator (preferrably a half-face mask with filters or better) when sandblasting, because that dust is guaranteed to cause problems with your lungs!

Not as big a problem as you think. I've been in concrete for 13 years, grinding off an on. Sure, it's not great and irritates your lungs. But for people doing it once a month or once a year, it's perfectly fine. And they make masks specifically for grinding, full face shields. Or a fully enclosed oxygen mask.

7:10, Seth says that like half of the population doesnt regularly have to remove blood from clothing if you dont have peroxide(or don't want to damage your clothes) - soak in *cold* water asap and wash with a bar of soap or Vanish, also in cold water before chucking in the wash also with Vanish or the like just whatever you do dont use hot water as it will set the blood in the fabric

An old-school frame protection hack that I still use: 3m brand safety grip tape. Colloquially known as bathroom tape. Stick that stuff on the most vulnerable parts of your bike (ex: the downtube, crankarms, etc...). It''s thicker than the usual frame protection tape. Useful for protecting the bik3 against scratches, flying rocks, etc...

I use a garden sprayer with clean water that I have with me in the car when I go for a ride. It keeps 5 liters of water and you can adjust the spray and its perfect to wash the bike quickly when your done with your ride and keep the worst mud and stuff out of the car. And it's WAY cheaper than a 12volt power washer.

I have a hack with a blinky light, just good for a having a light so people can see you for commuting or something like that. Basically it involves taking your stem faceplate and bars off then threading the elasticated loop of the blinky over the stem and putting the bars and stem back together, then you can do up the loop on the blinky as you would. The blinky sits nicely on top of the stem or you can even put it on the underside but the button is harder to access. The hack works best on bikes with more tubular stems. Another linked hack is to swap the red rubber casing on a rear light for a black one off a front light for a more stealth look. Again a blinky is sufficient for a commuter rear light and can simply just stay on the bike for when you next need it. Both of these hacks are effectively free save for the lights which most people have kicking around anyway. Love your work, George

A hack to remember position of brake/shift levers is to mark it with a retractable pencil. Once the levers are set perfectly, use a reference point like the gap of a hinge or the window of the clamp. Then make a mark with the pencil. So when you have to take apart your cockpit, resembling the positions are a breeze by lining up the lever to your tracing. Works also for your bar to stem.

HACK: When you cut a steerer on a new fork, save the off-cut. When you service your fork, instead of having your cockpit hanging pulling and twisting cables, clamp it onto the steerer tube off-cut and set it down on top of your headset. Now your handlebars are sitting safely on your bike while you service your fork.

So the ultimate way to get a blood stain out of clothing, from my hematology lecture in medical school, is to dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt into 2 cups of water (about a plastic water bottle). This solution is about the same salt concentration (osmolarity) as your blood like you would see with normal saline given IV for fluid administration. Soak the clothing in your homemade normal saline solution and the solution will be able to lift out the blood without causing the cells to burst and stain like they would when trying to use regular water.

Nice video Seth. You are the person who got me into mountain biking. I've been watching for a year and a half now. A hack that I sometimes use is that you can use a lighter for decontaminating your rotors and when you are climbing with glasses you can put them into the vents on your helmet. Also by placing an apple air tag or other item of that kind in the bottom of your fork and taping it there you can plug the hole so no muck gets in while being able to track your bike if stolen.

You also don't have to worry about your bearings since the pressure isn't as high. Also, you never mentioned carrying a first aid kit in any of your videos (that i've seen). Maybe you have a good suggestion where to store that on the bike?

Seth! I'm a couch biker for now due to injury but your videos are so inspiring to get back into it when I finally can afford a bike again and can physically do so despite disability. Don't eat me up for this but I own three outdoorsy dogs who love to get into anything they can. Because of this they get worms and parasites despite being treated. The water in the ground thing seems safe, as they do it all the time, but there are a lot of things in the ground you don't want your pups getting. And they spread fast too. My input, as a dog owner and future mountain biker is if you are going to take your dog with you, it's important to have the proper gear for them as well. It's not usually a lot of stuff anyways. Thanks for the great content though

Seth, You should use *distilled white vinegar* instead of bleach for the mildew on your wooden features - experts recommend this because _it actually works better_ particularly for deterring regrowth (was surprised to learn this myself, but look it up), not to mention covering your bases for any environmental considerations. I’m sure the small amount of bleach you are misting on your features is pretty negligible (and frankly acceptable, in my mind), but you should switch over if only for sake of effectiveness! Also, your joke was funny, but I’d question the general assumption that cutting down a tree necessarily is a greater environmental impact than allowing chemicals to leach into the ground - regrowing a tree is often easier and sometimes quicker than reversing pollution that has accumulated in the environment.

Hey seth, do you got any homemade hacks for removing a seized seatpost. I've tried hot water and wd-40 but it just wouldn't budge.

Only hot water? U should pour ice cold water right after it.. as to create thermal shock.. u might need to repeat the process a few times! Good luck.

2:50 when using any spray paint, it’s a good idea to wear a mask. Even an N95 is better than wearing nothing. Esp with aerosolized vinyl, that stuff is carcinogenic.

I managed the 2nd hack with the rubber band on the fork bit instead of disassembling the entire fork I used a couple little zip ties. Doesn't look near as good and I will probably fix up my fork properly this winter but surprisingly well working and easy!

One hack I haven't seen you do, is related to drying out the hose on a hydration pack. For the packs with a quick disconnect, this is easy. Remove the hose and run hot water through it. Make sure there is plenty of room around you, twirl the hose over your head really fast then flip ends and repeat. In a few seconds you hose will be clean and dry inside and out.

On my new build, i did two interesting things to help save a bit of money. 1. I used electrical tape to secure my spare tube on the bike, my bike is black so it keeps a really clean look 2. I used the little plastic clip that comes with a bike lock to secure on the frame and repurposed it as a chain guide on my chain stay

hi Seth great hacks and always keen to learn more. Here is a hack that I picked up while cycling around the world that anyone can use on any bike if your fed up of your bike falling over when you prop your bike up against a wall or on a post. cut a small piece of mtb inner tube about an inch wide and slide over the handle bars on the front brake side. then when you stop, stretch it over the brake lever which will engage the front brake. hope this is helpful. regards Tim Bridgman

You can also scrub the slippery stuff off your features. I know it’s like loads of effort but it’s amazing how good a quality stiff brush can be with some natural detergent and water. Oh and then cover it all with chicken wire fencing. Keeps it non flip for ages.

when mounting something to your handlebars using zip ties, always mount it at the skinniest part of the bars first, then push whatever your mounting onto the wider part of the bars. you have less chance of something loosening up, and you can get the zip ties tighter than you can just by pulling on the end.
