I Made Duct Tape Tires for my Mountain Bike.

[@DailyMTBRider]

"I am not a smart man"..... The sign of the start of a great video 😂

[@BCpov]

Not smart, nor handsome, but defnitely handy!

[@wrae3833]

In one sentence, sums it all up.

[@lastname1386]

I love this video man!!!👏 Great Entertainment

[@SkillsWithPhil]

How much did BIG DUCT TAPE pay you for this advert? 😄

[@BCpov]

haha! I think the question is How much did I pay them?!

[@JasonTankard]

@@BCpov Start chasing them for remuneration.

[@hikesbikesbrews]

Great video-it amazes me though the ease you ride these difficult trails with a duct tape tire yet get psyched out on lesser obstacles on good tires. Crazy how the mind works sometimes

[@BGbikeandski]

Setting the standard for EWS, clearly the latest and greatest improvement in MTB tech

[@nedasay6978]

the grip of this grey duct tape is actually impressive!!!

[@David-mk2cx]

Love the Red Green reference! Thats what I was thinking of when you dumped out the box full of duct tape 😄 Great video! Keep it up!

[@intheskywithpie]

So much this.

[@katydid5088]

The infamous Jamie Hyneman once said: "Duck Tape isn't a perfect solution for ANYTHING, but it's an adequate solution for just about everything. "

[@BCpov]

amazing quote 🙂

[@remymetailler]

Ahahaha, this idea definitely had not cross my mind!

[@BCpov]

I’d love to see what you can do on the duct tape setup!

[@remymetailler]

@@BCpov No scrubs (in purpose)!

[@josiahsimmons9866]

You and Yuka are very cute and wholesome together. I love that you both love doing this! It makes the whole content much more enjoyable!!

[@PaulThePunter]

How hard of a trail do you think you could ride with your brakes backwards? (Rear on the left).

[@manningthomson7918]

You mean the correct way? 😜

[@BCpov]

oh geez.. I'm pretty sure I'd loose teeth if I tried that 😬

[@PaulThePunter]

@@BCpov …..more than riding a trail with duct tape tires? 😂

[@zechreardon6129]

Rear on the left is correct though?

[@mtb_chode8639]

​@@zechreardon6129 nah that's only in Australia

[@jwaltman6846]

"If they don't find you handsome they should atleast find you handy." Nice quote from the red green show.

[@GamerNorthernIreland]

could you duct tape a tire insert? would lower weight and reduce impact vibrations

[@davidcarter1313]

My thoughts exactly 👍

[@mtbslayer5506]

That's big brain

[@fillfreakin2245]

Those are too expensive too. I was thinking using a pool noodle from a dollar store, maybe cut in half.

[@JasonTankard]

@@fillfreakin2245 Great idea!

[@CaliradoKid]

Maybe adding in pool noodles underneath the duct tape could save some weight AND give added support to the rim. Homemade Cush Core! 😂

[@triplevadventures6071]

i love the Red Green references. Duct tape has amazing uses that's for sure, I was amazed that you were able to do as much as you were with the slick smooth surface of the duct tape.

[@alexorcas1]

love the red green reference at the end. excellent video! love the creativity

[@thedemonhamster]

15:33 I love the Red and Green reference lol

[@aaronmathis5016]

it's crazy how expensive mtb tires are getting.

[@phlebiax5592]

Blame it on the war in Ukraine... Everything nowadays on the world is the cause of this... Suddenly no more resources... i just can't believe it tho!

[@antoniolalmeida2366]

Dude I’m paying 50€ for one of those!

[@adamweb]

I love when people find old bikes for like $20 then discover they have to pay $100 to get new tires and tubes for it!

[@hannes6114]

You can get tires for around 25€

[@antoniolalmeida2366]

@@hannes6114 not those tires tho!

[@nrg4285]

Eric this video was amazing, don't worry about it not being "regular" content 😁

[@rubbersidedown5620]

Love the Red Green joke at the end. Hilarious video!

[@brianlehnhardt1632]

I loved the Red Green reference at the end.

[@Underpantz]

This video was absolutely mind blowing. I did not expect you to actually ride half of the features you did let alone actually sending them without crashing. Such a fun idea. Thank you :)

[@deice3]

Damn, you're starting to outcrazy the Sam Pilgrim himself!

[@trialsrob214]

honestly that worked way better than I thought it would. you are very brave

[@joebikes]

“I’m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess” … I grew up with Red Green so this video is for me 😂

[@1dhewitt]

Red Green would be proud. That's some great Original Content!

[@zacharybollinger4950]

🤣Nice Red Green reference at the end there🤣

[@keithorriss7205]

I love this channel. I've watched him from 2018 to now and I whatch every video he makes. I would love to be like you one day. Keep up the work legand!

[@joediamond4863]

OK, this was a bit gimmicky but the Red Green reference at the end saved it! I'm pullin for ya, we're all in this together!

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

awesome video, thanks for trying this out, very interesting to see how your bike worked with duct tape tires

[@roughster1615]

I wonder if you alternated closed cell high density foam, duct tape, then double sided tape if that would keep the wheel as stable but also give it some “give”. Great video!

[@Mtb_erick_sends]

Great job I’ve been watching your KZbin channel for two years and I just keeps getting better

[@TexanGent12]

Awesome video idea. Can’t believe you started on that aggressive of a trail! I also didn’t expect it to hold up that well with no cross strapping to keep it from torquing sideways.

[@Jacob99174]

Your frequent music changing is hilarious! Timing is important I suppose

[@fulgerite]

That was fun! I especially liked the Red Green reference at the end.

[@EregonMTB]

Love the red green reference!!

[@vivianfaithfull4748]

That was a giggle and glad you didn't come unstuck! Sorry I'm English 😂

[@ajallan3142]

50mm backer rod closed cell foam - double-side sticky taped to the rim, then duct tape all around. Might help to reduce vibration. My preferred use for it is inside my tubeless mtb tires though...

[@RiderDon]

I was so worried about the steep rock slab but you survived 😮🤣 next level stoked 🤣😂

[@ToogyHowser]

Love the Red Green reference at the end! Keep your stick on the ice!

[@Wabit01]

Just a beautiful vibe about your videos, exactly what I needed right now.

[@robquick3814]

Was wondering how much faster the breaking components would wear out with 16 lbs tires, enjoyed this vid very fun and Enjoyed the red green reference at the end too

[@guankstudios]

I noticed you got a coil in the rear? Id love to see a video of how it compares to your air.

[@alasdairmcrobie5334]

You should go to a place in Santa Cruz California called Harvey West it’s a really fun dirt jumper spot I think you’d enjoy it

[@JasonTankard]

Reverse mullet bike. Rigid front, soft rear (reverse to hard tail). Ride the opposite style pedals to what you normally use. Cheap bike challenges, how much can you do on a cheap/budget/free bike (or try with a BMX bike). Street sessioning, rather than trails. Riding the wrong size bike, put Yuka on your bike, and you ride hers. To help Yuka with her pumping, chainless trail riding challenges, can only pump! Also try, get Yuka to work on a single set of tables. Start by riding them "normally" then and work on going slow and having to compress/pump more to clear them, then eventually work on the reverse, how to "not jump" at all (normally we teach this to new riders FIRST, how to ride a jump and absorb and get no air, because this is safer), but for you guys, just add in in wherever. Then how to scrub a jump, to absorb the lip, and even to table the jump to get super low and fast over it (race style). This will help her work on how to adjust to different jumps depending on speed. Then apply this same idea to bigger/harder/different jumps, including gaps.

[@tygastfield613]

What about filling your tires with random stuff? I think another channel filled their tires with bread, but doing it with other things as a Cush core alternative would be entertaining. BTW, I loved the reference at the end to the red green show.

[@seanmartin7296]

Airless tires with sidewall tread design ready set GO!!

[@Simon__T]

I have a experiment going were i put an old light xc tire inside my regular tire because my tire had a big hole in it and tubless didnt work . I just cuttet the bead of the xc tire and puted a tube in it but secured the tube with this tubless nut on the valve stem because the tube has a hole in it. it actually holds air in it. you can feel the weight when paddeling but there is no difference jumping and doing whips. I can recommend it for bikeparks as you wont have any flats with the hybrit tube -tubless home made double down system as you have the best of tubes and tubless

[@vishakhajingar7810]

this was a nice change in style. I really liked this video.

[@j.carterrobinson1414]

Eric, I genuinely loved this video. It might be my favorite on youtube. Keep up the great content

[@bikeninja956]

dude, this is INSANE. lmao. I feel like this is the way to go tho now-and-then in terms of content, we've all seen a bazzillion +1 POV video's... it's nice to just have fun sometimes with the adjacent stuff... so was it actually grippy? seems like it had a surprising amount of tack.. :0

[@therebot]

This is the most ridiculous video you have ever made. I LOVE IT!

[@MINIMALmtb]

Pretty hilarious how well those worked

[@beerbikesbarbells]

Not the MTB experiment we wanted...the one that we needed 😂 Next test should be sticky side out for MAXIMUM GRIP!!! Once the tape is full you just peel off a layer and keep riding lol

[@beerenmusli8220]

This was crazy and amazing and amazingly crazy! And it shows how good of a mountainbiker you are.

[@xixsilerxix]

The quality of your vids are getting so good! Love your rides and commentary :)

Hilarious. And some sweet music picks, as well. A little Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown" at 5:15 and some Aaron Copland sounding Western motifs later on. Nice.

[@harleylincoln5775]

"I am a Man, I can change, If I have to, I guess." lol love the Red/Green reference

[@BarryWalstead]

So much fun, I really enjoyed that.

[@exscythe2]

- use your old tire to make grips - do a frame from a plywood (with linkage and stuff0 and experiment with horizontal/vertical layers for flexibility/stiffness and different parts of the frame (front/rear triangle) - make a fork form 2 old pumps? :) - use sunflower oil for your brakes - 3d print pedals - install a chair/stool instead of the saddle. with a dropper post!

[@isaacbrown7926]

Love the original video idea!! Keep up the good work Eric ❤️

[@andrewcrockford6151]

That was the maddest but funny video i have watched thank you keep up the good work 👏

[@faithwalk5926]

Red Green will be proud of you 😁👍

[@mtbewan5632]

They should test rear suspension like this by how it reacts best with its curved path over rocks n’ roots with a fully stiff tire

[@SemiSendy]

Before I clicked, I already knew you were about to get into a sticky situation. Also.... 5 roll savings is sure to now be another touted benefit of running mullet.

[@mulullama]

I'm just here for the red-green show reference at the end LOL

[@alexanderc.4654]

Omg, Eric....when you first got to the second slab, I thought we were going to lose you

[@BillSkatez]

Sweet! I haven't even watched the video yet and I already know it's going to be badass. I love it when people get Goofy 😂

[@ethanmeyer5404]

Hay innovation. Instead of carrying an extra tube or bacon strips just bring 15 rolls of duct tape for puncture protection.

[@IrieVibeSender]

that was entertaining for sure. Glad you made it out alive! Pretty surprised how well it did outside of it's weight issue.

[@gabeasher187]

This was a really strange and entertaining idea. Nice work!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I will no longer be carrying a spare tube. I will now be carrying 13 rolls of duct in case I get a flat tire.

[@patdrumm3770]

Yes!!! Love the video. You would fit right in at Possum Lodge. “I’m a man, I can change. If I have to. I guess…”

[@clipless03]

Ends with my favorite Red Green quote.... earns a like button click.

[@burddog0792]

Have you looked into Specialized tires? The new ones are apparently pretty good, slightly less performance then Maxxis but also $60-75 USD

[@mikesmith8564]

Classic episode guys... Loved it..

[@ir1shboy]

Such a funny and quirky video. Gave me anxiety just imagining trying something like this. Lol

[@ashleytombs]

We all know how strong carbon rim’s are but this proves they are stronger than people think

[@quin_skis_5136]

Have you seen Danny MacAskill torture testing some carbon rims

[@ashleytombs]

Yes are you talking about the one where he’s going down stairs Lots of times the video was epic also shows how strong carbon rims they Took an absolute pounding But eventually they did break but only after about an hour

Great reboot. I like the recasting of Howard, solid choice

[@andrec.136]

I was scared watching some parts of this, lol. But not as scared as if you had done the white line at Sedona with the same set up.

[@darrenbattams3190]

What a great video. Back wheel sure, but front no I don't think so. 😂😂. I'm very paranoid about the front tyre slipping out from under me.
