Phu was a professor in his past life the way he explains things and helps the listener follow and understand and emphasizes things make learning so easy it takes a certain kind of person to be able to do that he’s educated me more than any teacher I’ve ever had

This was one of my favorite videos. Specifically the last 2min lol phu likes to have a little bit of jewelry and his exit jump lmao max at the end

[@Convolutedtear]

bling bling wit da ring.... I dig it . Also I don't think taking care of your customers products is cheap, it's the mark of someone who sells fun with integrity... maybe it's wastefulness, that is the world's foe right now, or even through time Big up happy holidays and stuff to all of you, keep your head up, Im proud of you guys.

I ride a 20 inch too, I look forward to watching more of your videos. Wes Sept

Just put in an order for a 2019 GT Pro Performer 26'' which comes with a 22 top tube. The stock post is a laid back Dayglo Pink. Would like to change it out to a modern pivotal setup or a standard road bike aluminum alloy rig with rail clips. Aftermarket laidback 22 posts are hard to come by where I am from (Thailand)

[@sauravbasu8805]

Do you have a similar informative video on the head-post ? The old vs the new bicycles ?

[@StreetDreamzTT]

[@RedDirtShooter]

What about a built in clamp frame but change out the bolt with a quick release for 25.4 box bike ?

Those Vans tires look dope.

[@soylientgreen8618]

ANY ONE KNOW HOW BIG THE SEAT CLAMP IS ON THE STEEL PANTHER s&m AND SEAT POST i am ready to build and just realized i need clamp and seat and post to save my man hood. thanks guys great show s..

[@Northstar-Media]

Back in the 70s i had to save for weeks to buy a shim for my frame so i could fit a lay back seat post to my Raleigh Burner for bar spins.

[@roberthatfull3816]

I had the same problem i made a shim from cans then bout amonth later i found a stinger styler layback post on an old bike it was a layback post but a burner size .

And dont forget to use lots of grease inside of the seat tube of the frame before inserting the seatpost itself.

[@feeterican]

I'm not lost. But I was also a bike mechanic for years and I was fixing my own flats when i was 8 years old. My Grandpa taught me how to use a patch kit and somehow I remembered and started doing it my self. Though being a 8 year old it was really hard for me to tighten the back tire on the chain side and the axle would always slip and the tire would rub. By the time I was 10 years old I was strong enough to tighten it down.

[@robertlund5694]

Sunday still have seat clamps right?

[@cfmechanic]

Last week we discussed E.D. this week but plugs lol

[@AL4140]

Exactly Alfredo, he went way to in depth with seat posts. Lol. Just this fits with this, this fits with that, done. Also I’m surprised he didn’t mention the imperial measurements. 22.2mm =7/8”, 25.4mm =1”, 26.8mm =1-1/8”.

I'm fat, and don't wanna overtighten and break my built on clamp... could I add a 25.4mm clamp onto the post to help keep it from sliding down as a ride and sit on the seat...? Riding the bike helps with the being fat part.... can't wait for spring....

I always tell my dude that the clamp is bigger than the post but he never gets it. But I like the regular seat clamps better, I feel like they work better than integrated.

[@aarondavis4341]

On those quick release, really hurt when you hit your knee on them,or go to grab your seat post mid air and that clamp f@#ks you up

[@Simon_Lado]

but when that welded seat clamp broke off and you put another seatclamp, it would not fit because the seat tube where the new seat clamp that will be put is too short just like here 12:40

The majority of mtb riders out there (at least those being serious) do have dropper post and thus don't need a QR seat clamp.

a crazy fact you didnt know about bmx frames...... they used to have the same seat tube diameter as your bars, we went up cause seat posts werent strong enough..... #BarsShouldGoOversized they used to need press in cups for the headset and bb. they used to have these weird lugs on them for these hand devices called brakes. they used to have this one with a giant built in bash guard.
