I went and checked out a RIdgeline today after watching you review of it. Nice vehicle and surprised how roomy it was even for my 6'4" 225lb self. Even with my small travel trailer I'd be afraid of exceeding the cargo capacity pretty easily and I'm considering getting a bigger trailer this season. Thanks for the review of all the products.

[@joegomes1352]

How many of Seth's truck compared to the tacoma u see on the road,the tacoma is far superior on every level,I live in pick up truck land and rarely see a Honda ridgeline

[@valentin.garcia]

Make videos for ridin without backpack (i know he approx did) with integrated bike tools like OneUp system or Specialized SWAT

[@Cloudrak]

[@JakerMB]

I'd like to see the Specialized SWAT

I recently purchased a Crosstour 4K action cam off of Amazon for $60 + $10 for a 4 year protection plan. There are a ton of Chinese bargain action cams listed on Amazon but I went with this one because it was the only one w/ a good amount of positive reviews (4.4/5 stars from 200+ reviews). The video quality seems great on the few test runs I took it on but I don't have any sort of stabilizer like the Gimbal. At that price I think it deserves a spot on your next product review post!!!

[@ZeCalanga2391]

I must say seth, even though you can't ride you're still putting out better content than some mtb channels I follow, and more frequently. Buddy you're doing a great job, get well soon, love from across the pond. Cheers

[@DRNeKky]

Make more videos about surviving on the road, hacks on your small camper you made or shop building tutorials ( how you made your shop ), money saving hacks are always welcome. Reviews are good too.

[@JoshuaBaylin]

Another great video Seth, keep it up!

[@insane_ravenger1558]

So Seth, big fan here, and thanks to you, I can impress people in this small town I in, I dont see many bikes round where I live, so not many people know about what you can do on a bike, but since ive been watching your videos for about a year now, I can do a large bunny hop, manual, jump sh** and a whole lot more, just by riding street, thanks for all the tips man!! Keep making awesome videos!

[@philz9835]

Seth, would love to hear back on how the ams guards work out after a few weeks of riding with them. I've recently started doing carbon bike repairs on the side to keep my bike community going and the one thing I notice is that very few bikes come with good, if any, gaurd protection. Chain stay bars and down tubes are my most common fixes. I end up recommending skateboard deck tape to most people or car crash film. Worth the price to protect the valuable asset of a carbon frame. To date, ive rapaired some 15 bikes. Thanks for the good info, Seth.

[@Joe-mans]

Favourite mtb you tube channel

[@monstervlogster1157]

Seth, lots of great info man thanks for sharing !

[@theswissrider]

Just started on my channel with MTB tutorials in English. Your are a big inspiration Seth, keep up the good work. I try to show the MTB community what works for enduro and downhill riding, hope I can give you guys some tips

[@SailorJesus97]

I don't bike but I love watching your videos. Keep up the amazing work!

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

How about a Hip Pack shoot out....There is quit a few out there. I am rocking the $9.99 Walmart outdoor Products one, not bad but I would like to hear your thoughts and see what other ones you can find.. LIVE-LIFE-LOUD!!!

[@TrailFeatures]

Those Kali pads look legit. Going to give them a try because my G-Forms NEVER stay in place. :(

[@elliottglynn5055]

Trail Features and also, g forms NEVER protect in a crash 😂

[@kentreddell1708]

Dude my g-forms have trouble staying in place too. Shame for such an expensive knee pad.

[@mtbboy1993]

my concerns with G-form is that they got gaps, same with a lot of pads, at least the Kali got smaller gaps, but not sure about how they perform, not researched them. a sharp rock can get between the gaps, but for the concrete or asphalt use, they would be ok.

[@elliottglynn5055]

Johannes Nilsen I've got fox launch pros (no gaps, solid plastic front) hit a rock with my knee and cut through the pad and straight into my knee right to the bone 👌

[@mtbboy1993]

how did you manage that? I know the pads have their limits, but this sounds quite extreme.

[@JasonTankard]

I did not see the comment for it, but you can install the AMS guards with a lightly soapy water. This is a technique used for most quality stickers in the sign industry. While there are professional application lubes, a soapy water does the job. Prevents air bubbles, allows re-positioning, then you just squeegee out the water. I personally use a felt block to do that.

[@emmanuelg8080]

i have just started mountain biking, whats the best way to stop my chain falling off? and how to prevent chips on my bike frame ? great videos man! watching them mad me start it

[@mlenz2553]

"depending on your needs, it can be totally pointless or the answer to your prayers" that right there is some wisdom the internet is in desperate need of.👍

[@cycleriderroy]

That bike stand looks like a copy of "Clug Bike Rack", available for different types of bikes.

[@cornishcactus]

The MTB version seems to have a habbit of snapping from what I read. I'd not be using one to hold a bike while I work on it even a little bit

[@paullmight42]

dude, you're so easy to listen to...im totally stuck in an mtb rabbit hole right now...im so impressed with a used trek i just bought last week bought for 150$ and i cant imagine riding most of the stuff you feature...i mainly just commute 10 miles every day but half of that is like an urban moderate obstacle course...the bike before this was was a crappy trek hand me down that i put 2300 miles on last year...so i put old girl out to pasture and found this other bike which is leaps and bounds above the other one...

[@WorkNHard]

Honesty is awesome in reviews, love the channel!!! Thank you

[@yannick1250]

Make more build videos!! Those are my favourites!

[@pxpi]

[@omarmartinez7277]

I have to say my favorite part was the honda. I didn't know about the dry storage under the bed... That is amazing!!!

[@plaicknaa]

A vid about integrated tool storage would be absolutely awesome 😍😍

[@timursheydaev8678]

There are some interesting integrated multitools on the market, that fit in the hollowtech crank shaft, or into a space, that is usually closed by a top cap (inside a steerer tube, if I named it right)

[@yorgios22]

i do really love victorinox, i got the traditional swiss knife for years, and still kickin asses! but that bike multitool is a little crappy for me....

[@SethsBikeHacks]

same!

[@yorgios22]

yes, even the swiss guard use them, the're really good, mine has about 10 years and still shiny :)

[@wvjeepguy8178]

I use the AMS bike guards. They work great, and like all stickers or decals, you need to start applying in the middle and work your way out to avoid air bubbles.

[@jamesmharvey]

Thanks for a great channel. Very useful info so far. I have a lot more of your videos to go through but would be interested in seeing videos on the care and feeding of your MTB or hybrid.

[@adamdead4095]

Hey seth will you do a review of that fat diamondback ? The on at the back

[@stevesfatbikeadventures4698]

Adam Dead dude I have that bike and I love it! I added a chain device to add tension on the chain, a couple mud guards and an oversized bottle cage so I can ride to the local brewery and grab a growler.

[@minds4game]

Striker knee pads look exactly like the Dainese Trail Skins. 🤔

[@rudi2947]

[@colesisler582]

No they don't. I disagree. (I really do agree im just following through with the prediction of an argument prefaced in the title) 👍

[@VashStampede81]

Great video Seth. How about a "Best bike storage options" video which would feature seat bags, triangle frame bags, and other nifty storage options that allow for a person to keep all their emergency gear in one place where they can never forget it?

[@bullwhipjohnson8247]

The Soft Topper looks good enough for tent type camping. I would be interested to know if it has UV protection and how well it can stand up to highway speeds over long periods of time. Those are only two of the things that can turn something like that into a flapping rag in no time at all.

[@SethsBikeHacks]

I ran into a Patron who claimed to have one for 8 years, and all he replaced was the bug screen. I didn’t even know they existed for that long.

[@jimhaley7496]

I have a soft topper with thousands of high speed miles on the back of my Ridgeline. No change in functionality at all. To be honest I have abused it somewhat by stuffing insulation between bars and cover. Still it works fantastic. Only downside is it gets hot in the sun when all buttoned up, but can raise the sides to cool if not raining.

[@mi-xc]

Integrated tools please! Oh, and XC race stuff...... whatever that means.

[@tylerweigel9430]

SAHD again I bought a raptor 14 and use it as my everyday bag since my daughter is potty training its great for all her needs plus water at the grasp of a hand to bad the bite valves are not toddler proof less than a week and its about time for a new one love the videos and enjoy the knowledge I don't have of mtn bike and road bike tech.

[@theosmith6900]

maybe instead of knee pad reviews, next time do some wrist guard reviews. :)

[@Davide_media]

[@presentfigure92yearago89]

Wrist guards cause your arm to beack further up which takes longer to heal, but lol

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

I wouldn't expect anyone to actually wear wrist guards while riding a MTB.

[@shortchainstays8762]

Those exist?

[@Gruvmpy]

@@presentfigure92yearago89 My understanding was it make it easier to heal, since the wrist was a complex joint, where as the forarm isnt, making the break cleaner and easier to heal

[@danieljacobson8748]

Hey Seth! Before I start I wanted to let you know that your videos are great! I've been subscribed since around 10k, and I've never stopped watching your videos. I have a quick question if you don't mind. I am an intermediate trail rider and mostly ride at Mountain Creek, in NJ, and am interested in getting a new bike. I was interested in a few bicycles, but mainly have my eye on the Catch 1 from Diamondback. I would love to know if you have any info on the bike, or if you even know what I'm talking about, and if so, do you recommend it to an intermediate rider like me. Keep up the great work!

[@RemeLeHane]

Must say thanks on this one, I had spotted those stickers online at one point and was keen on getting them, but the ones I wanted were not in stock. I had forgotten the name and don't use bookmarks, so again, thanks.

Love the vid Seth, I have the one up version of the tool kit and it is amazing. I also have been using the AMS guards and have been really happy. Going to Amazon right now to get the seat protector...sweet. Keep it up Bro!

[@missiontrails5838]

@Seth’sBikeHacks do the OneUp EDC Tool that you can store in the headtube/fork tube or in their air pump. I think you would REALLY like it!!!!

[@MichaelTV44]

I love the look of the Ridgeline over the Tacoma

[@kindlydeath]

MichaelTV44 same, even though they both suck at being off road mountain bike vehicles, i like the ridgline better. And plus tacoma just plain sucks and has no power

[@Whitewater11]

The look of the Ridgeline is the only reason that I wouldn't buy it. Personally I think Tacoma's look WAY better but that thing definately has some Rad features!

[@i_like_goats157]

I’d really like to see a review of fix-it-sticks... unless you’ve already done it of course! Great videos keep it up!

[@Stickinit]

Great video. Cool stuff review. As a sticky guy I'll tell you bubbles happen. Sometimes a wet install with 30% isopropyl to water works great. Use a hypodermic needle or a new safety pin to pop them. Or put clear bra on as a frame protector. If you geek out a little you can 99.6% coverage and nobody will notice. Hope the healing goes fast and smooth.

[@thatoneguymccool1469]

[@johnkooy9581]

During my many years of motorcycle racing and MTB for training, and currently I am strictly MTB now, during that time and now I have always used Nitrogen for all my tires, especially when I was racing Karts. Have you ever thought of it? I get a 2000lb bottle that lasts forever. I never heard it mentioned, just tire pumps in your shop. Molecules are larger in nitrogen which in turn lose much less air, a lot less in my experience. I have also noticed that, especially in Karting, that the air pressure stays much more consistent in pressure during hot and cold days, just as my MTBs do. Just a thought, maybe you can touch on it some day. Keep up the good work.

[@talondiakow-dee296]

I love this videos, any way you could focus more on integrated tool storage as well as, tech related things for the gopro and such!! Keep the sick videos up and hope that wrist gets better.

[@hiramgarcialopez2125]

As I bought a new Helmet, l would love a Helmet tips video, including camera angles from the Helmet, how to clean full face helmets etc etc . Btw great video!

[@Sjoholm13]

Another cheap alternative for the seat covers are the covers that mechanics use. They come in both cloth (breathable but not waterproof) and plastic (vice versa) variants and cost the equivalent of one or two bucks where I live. As for the plastic bike stands, and specifically putting something similar but more suited for MTB tires in your shop; I think a 90 degree angle iron (L-angle? L-iron? Don't know the correct english term but hopefully you get the idea) would work if you just locked the bike in place by placing a bolt through the spokes and the holes in the angle iron. It could of course be rounded off and padded to be gentler on the bike.

[@illfox240sx6]

the fun thing about the Honda ridge line is that its literally a pilot with a bed so it has a lot of the practicality of a small pickup but handles and has the interior of a glorified minivan

[@realkilju]

I cant get enough of these!!!!

[@schism8286]

Seth you're so proper. Cruise control set to 65 on the D.O.T. Also, I grew up street racing on Orangethorpe

[@pubfixture]

Seth, you effed up the AMS tape aplication. I had very little problem installing bubble-free, without the need of a heat gun, or mild soap water. That said, It's been a year and a half since your upload here so, maybe they changed the glue. But I then removed the AMS tape and got a full RideWrap kit and installed that. Pain in the butt, but good coverage, and I reused some of the AMS stuff and it had some bubbles after that. Price you pay for good protection...

[@sigops]

been following you for a while but i just started MTB. Seen this video and loved what you had to say about those knee pads. Went out and bought them. they are perfect. I am looking through your videos, do you have any that talk about MTB Glasses or Floor Pumps or Short Liners? These are next on my list.

[@tony15tran]

Check out the "clug", they make those same bike stands but have ones from different size tires! I have 2 of them, they are great!

Exos cast!!! It got me back riding a few years back after a wrist break. I suggest using clear hockey tape to reinforce it when riding. I pulled the nylon straps out of mine...

[@ranga8038]

Man you have such a cool cast! When I broke my wrist, all I had was the super sweaty/itchy NHS cast.

[@teamramrodmtb]

I think you should do a video or two updating us on the camera equipment you use and the editing software you use to edit the video. As you're inspiring a lot of others to create their own channels.

[@trystanpalmer3969]

Another great feature of the Ridgeline's under bed storage is you can load it with ice and use it as a massive cooler and it has a drain plug for easy ice removal once it melts

[@johngutkoska4240]

Im going to be moving to North Carolina in the fall. It would be awesome to see you on a trail ride.

[@desertlizard4723]

You could use a U bracket with foam handlebar tape on the inside to make sure you don’t puncture your tire. I have done this and it works great! I highly suggest you trying this.

[@LikeABawsGaming249]

Hey Seth, at 3.04 you show your dog jumping out of the car. Have you ever considered buying Sill protectors? They're expensive if you get them from the car dealership but eBay do cut to size ones or ones already cut for your car but a hell of a lot cheaper. I'd go so far as saying they look pretty good anyway and theyll cover any existing scratches caused by the dogs. I have one for the trunk of my estate as I'm prone to just tapping it with the pedals when loading my bike. Really saves on a paint job 🤙

[@gabegamez837]

I would honestly love to see some stuff on hydration packs and also the chemicals and cleaners you use for your bikes

[@stinkyointment6320]

More things to do with your bike itself. I love these because they come in handy!!

[@kevinwoody5412]

The hooks you screw into a wall to hang shovels and such work great to hold a mountain bike when screwed in on the leg of a work table. You would need the heavy duty ones because they are wider and more V-shaped so it holds different tire widths.
