163 Bicycle Hacks and Tips for Everyone

[@DaytonaStreetLights]

If this video has taught me anything, its that the inside of Seth's handlebars is a gold mine.

[@MJ-tz8cq]

a real reason for stealing it 😀

[@6dmiller]

It really made me wonder where the hot dog came from that was used on the frayed cable end.

[@crispyfilms3983]

What a nice throwback, the old hacks videos is what I first started watching in 2016. You came a long way man!

[@TrikiDick]

I was thinking the same thing, back in those days few tools, now all the good stuff.

[@haxboi5492]

Holy hell that much time passed?

[@crispyfilms3983]

@@haxboi5492 I know, I was only 14 when I started watching now I’m about to turn 22. I don’t even really ride bikes anymore just dirt bikes and my Harley but I still watch the new stuff.

[@dylan-5287]

The old days of Seth riding around Florida haha.

[@topspot4834]

@@dylan-5287Crazy how time flies! I started watching from Florida too, I think it was the trip with Alex to Key West ... I still watch all his videos, but I like the Seth's Bike Hacks channel name better, plus his old logo! And I know Seth's on top of it and we're not privy to the data, but I always thought the name change was a bad idea. We know what Berm Peak means, but most new viewers have no idea. Seth's Bike Hacks is straightforward and at least people realize it's a channel about bikes ... And his reasoning was that it no longer fits his content, but using that same logic, neither does Berm Peak anymore. There's a lot more videos about bike hacks and parts/components than there are Berm Peak.

[@chinadk]

Finally! The video I didn't know I needed - a whole 2 hours of premium procrastination content!

[@Mafacracer]

This guys handlebars are like a time capsule full of letters of authenticity, chain links, snacks, dollar bills 😂

[@macsmandy1]

FYI: CLEANING YOU HUBS. In the old says - 50'S 60'S our bikes usually came with a piece of belt leather hung around the hubs, in a loose loop with a small red reflector attached to the closure end, worked great! You still see them on some bikes, like Brompton and they sell the straps on ebay but would be easy DIY. I still do it on my modern bikes! Love you video..

After watching your videos for years by now, I never realized how many of you hacks and tips I use on the daily. Thank you, Seth!

[@coflyer2949]

Seth, thank you so much for these videos! They helped me get back into the sport after almost a decade. I rented a bike recently and tried out my local trails, and while they’re fairly flat I had a blast! Again thank you for everything Seth!

[@diyguru7531]

Great tips. A couple of options: 1) For greasy hands without the skin irritation, work out the grease from under nails or skin crevices using vegetable oil, then cut the oiliness with dishwashing liquid. 2) Effervescent denture tablets are an easy way to clean water bottles and hydration packs, and leave a nice clean scent afterwards.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Tio 2. Cool Tip 1. WTF - never put dishwashing liquid on your hands as it is so anti- grease it will strip all the natural oils. Buy a proprietary hand cleaner.

[@Mallsus2]

the old-school 90s method of getting those grips on was to use hairspray. It would be slick going on and then provide some adhesion between the grip and the and the bar once it dried up

I got a bit emotional when I saw that old footage of Drama. I’ve had my fair share of painful memories when it comes to losing a dog. Thanks for sharing that video

[@willperry9722]

GoShank 😂, I'd forgotten about that. Loved looking back over this old stuff. I especially love the hack of closing power links by putting them above the chain stay 👍🏻

[@ironmaiden5658]

I've got $387 in my handlebars. I did the hacks 34 times.

[@danielnorrell3677]

This was a great surprise of an upload! I was stuck in a cramped mini van and this very long video was a great distraction.

[@LukeWarminger]

G'day Seth, thank you for this super bike hacks video. Your channels are one of the many reasons why I love mountain biking. Thank you for your hard work filming and editing. This super cut would've taken a fair while to put together, given the years of gems in the videos.

[@maestronglaagan9094]

You really took me on a trip down memory lane. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and its these videos that I used to watch over and over again when I was just starting to get addicted to bikes. You have come a long way

[@teoparaschiveanu]

Bravo taicule! Un video foarte mișto din care am mai învățat câte ceva. Aș mai avea un truc, două de adăugat: Cântărește bicicleta pe un cântar de oameni. Mai întâi te cântărești pe tine, vezi ce greutate ai, apoi te cântărești cu bicicleta în brațe. Scazi greutatea ta din total și ai obținut greutatea bicicletei. Pentru cârcei / crampe, mănâncă o jumătate de lămâie și îți vei reveni. Google translate limba română 😊 Mulțam, Seth, ești de-al nostru! Zi frumoasă și cu multe zâmbete!

[@michaelchimento1914]

"Just obtain a segment of garden hose, your neighbor mate have one." 😂😂😂 21:28

[@xSARGEx117x]

20:00 TOURNIQUET!!!! when out on trails, make sure you have something that can stem blood flow, preferably something you can use one-handed if needed. Anyone who watches Alex's channel (as well as plenty of others, but... Y'know) will know that can come in very handy for reasons you might never consider. You might hit a hip jump just slightly off, snap your carbon fiber handlebars, and the edge digs into your leg. I've needed my first aid kit every month since I got it, and I would buy a brand new one every time I used it if I had to.

[@BewilderedDuck-e5l]

A pack or two of z-fold gauze can be used to pack a wound on limb or joint area (tourniquets only work on limbs) and only cost £/$ 3 Can also be used to cover less severe wounds or support an arm after the collar bone spontaneously disassembles 😂

[@coupesandroadsters]

regarding velcro on the cables, you could buy a roll of felt tape. This is what is used in some vehicles as a wiring harness wrap so that the bundle of wires doesn't make noise hitting interior car panels.

[@ish474]

All hail Drama, forever in our hearts!!!❤

[@Utoobdewd]

I don’t even own a bike, yet i still watch every Berm Peak episode..

[@abridgingpanda7372]

22:00 this actually will help me! I have a project of mine and I was thinking on ways to make a tensioner with a thin metal bar. Thanks to the garden hose, the chain won't rattle about when it hits the bar!

[@notl33t]

Honestly, Zip Ties are the GOAT hack enough that its not a bad idea to carry them around along with a knife or multitool to shave them down.

[@gabrielgabor6239]

The peak of mtb life hacks! Respect man, been watching you since forever!

[@themostlymikeshow]

This was a nice trip down memory lane! Cool watching your success progress over the years. Thanks!

[@daviddarwiche7932]

Seth, I found this video to be extremely enjoyable, and I did learn a thing or two, and it was very enternaining, and I chose a rainy day to watch it so I did not lose riding time. You are the genuine article.

[@doggames10]

1hour 48minute long video??? Aight time to get the popcorn out

[@TAGSlays]

33:10 About the wet shoe hack. Magazines and glossy paper does NOT work. Actual Newspaper is what you want. And if you do this, and put them in a sunny window area, it will reduce/remove odor too!

I watch you all the time Seth, you're absolutely amazing! I watch every video and you help me out so much

[@RicardoCooper]

Here are a couple: * Use an old water bottle as storage, you can put tools, or other "recreational" items in it, and it has the added benefit of being water proof. * Use solder to keep your break/shift cables from fraying, you will never need to use another ferrule or cut a cable when maintenance is necessary.

[@AlexPhelpsMTB]

Just me who watched the whole thing? 🤣 Great video! brings back creek memories.

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

Welp, we know the 2x4 clip is a little dated. Because they sure ain't just a few bucks these days haha! Thanks for the video captain! Some rather useful tidbits for sure.

[@christopherstabile7814]

Really enjoyed the throwback to the old videos that originally hooked me on your channel. Thanks!

[@duanebrenneman4481]

Instead of pool noodle, go to your local hardware store and get foam rubber plumbing insulation. It’s not as thick as pool noodle, comes in different “pipe” size and is already split down the side!!

[@downtoride6757]

I had forgotten about a cpl of these gems and always great to see vids of Drama. RIP pup

[@MrSVTLoren]

I wanted to recommend "flush cutters" for your many zip tie uses. I can feel all those those potential cuts and scratches. Love the Channel, thank you!

[@HFVidShotz]

Good to see it all together. Thanks Seth! Miss ole Drama🐾

I've watched a dozen videos about tubeless before I setup mine, but I totally missed the part that you're not supposed to use tire levers on a tubeless setup. Thanks for explaining it to me Seth! :D

[@MrAdventur.e]

Hands down the best mtb KZbin channel on the internet!

[@ddahstan6876]

WOW!! So useful and entertaining. I'm upping my game after watching this Encyclopedia of Tricks, starting with Zip Tie Inside Out for truing wheel... or using Nut and Bolt!! ❤ ❤❤🎉

[@somewhere0verthere]

Another good strap wrench alternative is an old tube. Wrap it around the item very snugly and when the rubber meets rubber it makes a really good grip. I've used tubes all the time in the place of a strap wrench

[@somewhere0verthere]

Lever bleed funnel trick. If you have the funnel with a gasketed plunger, you can use that plunger to pull out most of the air really easily. Basically insert and remove the plunger with mineral oil in the funnel and that action pushes a small ammount of fluid in and brings air to the lever. It's way faster than actuating the brake lever many times for a burp.

[@nicolaseast255]

Hi Seth I have been waiting for a video like this you are my favorite KZbinr and mtb riders I watch your videos everyday and I have watched all of them and you have inspired me to start mountian biking I am 13 and i live in southafrica in cape town and I have been working on a mtb track of my own and I have been practicing everyday so one day I can be like you and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and keep up the hard work and I really appreciate it have a great day

[@bluchschnibel7806]

I work at a bike store and we use a lot of your hacks by default. Old school repairs, simple and low cost.

[@azazeldeath]

Ex vehicle mechanic, idk why it isn't big in the bike community. But get the dust caps for your valve stem that has the valve tools inbuilt, they are cheap, add extremely little weight. And means you have the tool there with you all the time. They are used alot in the 4x4 (offroad) community as we tend to destroy valves all the time. And if they get mud coated it's easier to clean the area and replace the valve than pump dirt into the tire.

[@kaidenseeley3339]

Seth I lover your channel I remember watching your channel and waiting for those old bike hack videos to come out I remember the days of the deck and I watched the entire build of berm park I really hope that one day you bring back the Seth’s food hacks they where the best

[@firehazard1792]

The license plate for tools with belt clips is smart, but I would fold over the edge of the top of license plate, it would be a somewhat more secure hold but more importantly much less risk of dying if you somehow manage to fall neck first into it.

[@joneinarmattiasvisser6113]

I've used luggage scales to measure bike weight. It has a strap you can hook around your frame or seat, and lift it up, voila

[@bonneharkema2458]

Thanks! this vid was useful and has a lot of fun. I can add one thing: I use hooking loop as a frame (chain) protector. I swirl it around the chain back fork arm to whenever come in handy. :)

[@EnhancedNightmare]

31:10 - > my favourite mud guard material are plastic paper folders. Super light, cheap, easy to cut and really robust in this application.

[@MuthaFkaJones]

That transition from the bike handlebars to the graffiti was epic bro. Nice vid!

[@bunjdawg]

1:31:56 -- Debbie Downer safety moment: when using an angle grinder, NEVER put your body in line with the plane of the cutting disc. If the disc shatters it will blast shards that can be as deadly as bullets. Especially in this configuration: your brachial artery is basically lined up with the disk. You can get the same forearm leverage from the opposite side but MUCH more safely. Also, I know they're kind of annoying and get in the way, but always much safer to have a disc guard in place. Angle grinders are about 1000x more dangerous than they appear.

[@erikk7643]

This is brilliant! I'm not mechanically inclined and getting into all road bikes. Thank you

[@Blaze24250]

What a throwback. I still use many of these all these years later

[@exzeroex]

For the rain x, it needs to be buffed like polishing it. instructions should say something like turn the windshield wipers on for some minutes. It generally helps for older glass that may have little scratches and pits on it, if it's a new screen it's already smooth.

[@MishaDaBear]

Crazy carpets (thin plastic snow sleds) make a great tent under pad & stone protector. Crazy carpets can repair a slashed tire. Mr.Tuffy will stop nails, staples, tacks, thorns can prevent flats on tubed wheels Parking a bike, put helmet chin strap through spokes and around the down tube or Velcro your Ft Brake lever

[@Azzysdesignworks]

I cut up Darrel and Lea licorice bites (the 3 flavor pack is great) into small bites for my trail mix, along with cashews and pistachios. Sometimes, I break up some pretzels (Utz Splits are the current favorite because of ingredients and taste), and next batch is getting cut up dried kiwi.

[@ringo666]

I'm keeping this video. But I gotta say it -- the chain hack with no quick link (relinking the chain) is how it used to be done regularly. Don't have to baby it, I've gotten 2 years of hard pedaling out of that repair. (SRAM 9s chains were notorious for breaking soon after installing, but once relinked, would carry on like a draft horse.)

[@robertgraves3215]

Aluminum HVAC tape is great for a chainstay guard , smootth it out with the handle of your scissors. You can also make radiation shield for your cellphone with it and even fake chrome strips to bling up your frame.

[@EnhancedNightmare]

Some of those are soo good xD Thanks man you are an angel of cycling community

[@Mile-long-list]

Cooking spray on the downtube, chainstays, bottom of the fork crown/legs, rear shock spring and the rims/spokes. Mud wont stick and easy to wipe off. Your bike will also smell like dinner !

[@kookamunga2458]

The bicycle hacks are reminiscent of the hands - on improvising on the Magayver show . Excellent.

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

If you keep your old rubbery compressor air hose I cut a 4 inch piece and slid it over the "Kickstand that comes on wal mart bikes" and is just a bent 3/8 inch steel rod. I slid it up so when you push it with your foot its much softer. For those with sore feet. Also it holds the bike better. I used some HF 2 part epoxy on the steel rod before sliding the hose on.

[@JohnOConnell]

Drying out MTB shoes… Some cat litter in an old pair of stockings. Never fails. I use it on my motorcycle boots. Has the bonus action of removing odours as well. Just be sure to get the cat litter before your cat does.

[@corneneethling2277]

With me and my daughter looking to start cycling further from home this coming spring, the wife bought us each a hydro pack. The techs for maintaining them and the hacks wiil come in helpful. Just wish they were in one video

[@qwertyazerty2137]

To decouple and couple a quick link you can also use hooked circlip pliers. And there's no need for a hairpin to keep prevent the chain from snapping when decoupling the quick link. Just take the chain partially or completely off of the chain ring to release its tension. For the chain guard, I recently utilized an old tube strapped with a couple of zip ties. It's better than just zip ties or an oracal sticker, because it muffles the chain slap.

[@nightshade4873]

Another one, though this is more of an old timer thing Using a Long Nose Plier to unlock/lock a casette, jamming the arm between the locking ring and the hub axle, make sure the arms do engage well, twist the arm but keep jamming it in to prevent it from jumping, you can use an adjustable wrench or vise-grip pliers to clamp to the side and gain better leverage. i used this to change the casette on my bike, it can put scratches on the locking ring, a useful means though not worth it if you can afford a reasonably durable casette tool.

[@CrustyBiker]

I started doing that innertube elastic band trick when I bought a new innertube once and after some time, worked out that the band holding it together was a slice of innertube, I thought what a great idea 💁‍♂️😅

[@stujm8376]

I always put lemon juice in my y water reservoir, very refreshing. And you can get rid of the black in the mouthpiece, two toothpicks and a dishwasher… think about it. Seriously if you have to use your grip as a valve core plier, take a multi tool with you, the needle nose pliers work a treat. I use safety glasses to ride in the forest at night, €8:00 Bolle glasses work a treat. Cheap as chips and keep my eyes safe. As an electrician I use electrical tape all the time when cutting cables, works a treat and you can leave it on. It does come off after a while, but by that time the cable crimps should have arrived.

[@DavidEricNemeth]

Wash bicycle with car soap, like Turtle wax. Crisco or Coconut oil will wash off socks and pants, maybe Vaseline jelly. Flexible PVC tubing for computer cables be better than zip ties protect bike frame. Old fashion bike generators create more power for lights and turn signals and no recharging!
