The clamped torque wrench demonstration was genius!

[@jongjulee4165]

I never knew 4nm and 6nm would be so different

[@PedalingDave]

It was! Also, that was my first peek at that particular park tool torque wrench. I've used a couple of other park tool torque wrenches but they were the traditional style. I'm going to order that one for myself.

Hello im 50 yr old and im a follower of your channel. Never in my life i have owned an MTB. my gf gave me a gift and its a 26xer. Your kind of bike is my wishlist... thanks for inspiring..

[@sanjaishukla]

Thank you. I bought my wife a bike from REI for our anniversary that said it could be shipped to our house with "minimal assembly required." We are both fairly handy but don't know much about bike maintenance. The written instructions provided from REI were absolute garbage, and the photocopied photographs were pretty much indecipherable. Your video let us put together her bike (hopefully) correctly and without any drama.

[@wadepratt9654]

Man, i spend hours every single day watching your videos. I really wish i owned a bike like the ones you have. Im trying to get back into mountain biking like i used to when i was 15-30. Im 42 now and I just baught a gt pantera sport and it seems pretty heavy and i have a bad leg so it hurts. I ride about 3 miles to work every single day rain snow and worst of all wind.. I ride the trails on the weekends when it is nice out. I would love to own a 20 pound mountain bike. Regardless i will never stop riding, il be riding forever. Keep up the awesome videos. 🤘

[@jonathanmtb9330]

Mtb that are around pounds are what the pros use and are very pricey! I'm 39 and ride often. A hard tail maybe a bit lighter and you can ride a lot of stuff with the new geometry on them now. I have a orbea Loki! I have ridden black diamond trails with it! Yes I am sure the rear shock would help a lot but it's still doable on the hardtail! 27.5+ tire helps me a bunch! My point is there maybe other options to choose from! Do the research for what you need and get! Keep rocking the mtb everyday bro! Stay safe and have fun!

[@samwebb585]

Wade, super stoked you're excited to ride! It can be so easy to get caught up on gear, but as long as your bike fits and is safe, it's a great start! I've ridden red / black trails on a rigid, steel framed 27.5+ tyre mountain bike without any issue - it wasn't comfy but it was a laugh! While you're getting into riding, just focus on your fitness and rehabilitating injuries and then when you feel your bike reaches its limit before you do, it becomes time to upgrade. Until then just enjoy it!!!

With how cheap you can get a torque wrench for now I'd recommend you get one, harbor freight has decent torque wrenches for $20. Certain tools like that should be mandatory to get with your bike.

Interesting advise on breaking in new brake pads. I had always been taught that by applying light pressure as you show will glaze the pads, so I usually get up to speed on a downhill and firmly apply pressure, but don't come to a complete stop. Repeating this about 10-15 times brings out the real stopping power of your pads without causing them to glaze. I will have to try your method next. Great videos as always!

Removing the valve stem and inflating the tire to bed it in and then adding sealant through the valve is a far easier way to do tubeless i found

[@PedallingwithPaul]

I agree 100% on that. In the case that some tires are a real pain to seat(mostly new unmounted tires) if you already have sealant in the tire it would suck to put a tube in the help seat one side.

[@maxwelllantz7293]

I also agree, but with some brands ( such as slime) you get little chunky bits that can get stuck in the valve. But for Stan’s sealant, this technique works great

Watching this while waiting for my new bike to arrive. I’ll be doing all this in the next hour or so

I had a Diamondback in the mid 80s... That multi tool is way stronger than the one I currently have. Good vid

Thanks for this video. I got my first big girl bike yesterday and would have been lost without this. When I did get it assembled, something was wonky, so I took it to my local bike shop. The derailleur hanger was bent. They did not have my hanger in stock, so they used a hack to fix it. They heated the hanger with a torch and bent it back while it was cooling. There was a risk of it breaking, but I figured it was worth the risk since I would have been out of a bike for a few days while the replacement hanger came in anyway.

I used to do this exact job nearly 40 hours a week but I still learned new things so good on you for that

5:37 I should have never gone zip lining

[@coenfowler3009]

I will probably never do this because i'm not a dentist or doctor or have a high paying job... but used is fine??...

[@Br3ndo1891]

The bike in the video is very affordable

[@coenfowler3009]

​@@Br3ndo1891 not as affordable as a used bike...

[@coenfowler3009]

I made that mistake once before, found a inch wide crack halfway through my down-tube after buying my last bike. wasn't fun, turns out if you buy a used bike it voids Giants lifetime Frame warranty, so I had to pay for it out of my own pocket, @Cooper Ondersma

[@TheKooster31]

always test the bike on site. maybe ask the local bike shop mechanic if they can join you to check if the bike is ok overall

[@michaelwrigley5438]

I am in College and working part time at a not so great paying job and both my wife and I are riding $3000+ full sus carbon bikes. I have multiple friends in the same senario. It's mostly about priorities. I could probably afford a nicer car or go out for more dates if I didn't bike, but we decided bikes we're more important for us. Thinking you have to be a dentist to buy a $2,000 bike is silly. $10,000 and you might have a point, but 2g is less then your average rider spends here in utah, and most bikers just have regular jobs. It's all about what you prioritize.

That pop in the tire when ur filing it up sounds so satisfying.
