Slopeduro Bikes are Unnecessary. Let's build one!

[@johannesohren6669]

As a wise man once said : on a singelspeed you dont have to worry about beeing in the right gear because you are never in the right gear

Three gears for a singlespeed. Sit. Stand. Walk.

[@polynomialx]

As always, entertaining af. The color matching and everything.

[@emptyavatar]

I lowkey want to see Seth paints the spring red too.

[@shredditsbiking]

I have a build a top end slopeduro bike and it was the best decision I have ever made. I am a teenager and am always tight on money. People said it was a bad idea but as of now it's the best decision I have ever made

[@amyx231]

Coulda gone with red grips and red seat for a truly matching theme

[@Pannemat]

Color matching, you say?

[@MarcusNesbitt4]

Slopeduro bikes have got many extremes: Matt Jones has his at 120mm travel on 27.5" , whilst Brandon Semenuk has his on a 27.5 / 26 mullet with 190mm travel. And I have seen others running 29". I think yours though Seth is in the middle and is probably about right!

[@sandy_knight]

Going by some bike-checks on KZbin I've noticed a lot of the RB Rampage riders are running 26/27,5 mullet with Fox 40s (or similar) up front! I'm fairly sure that's not recommended by the manufacturers but maybe they've supplied their sponsored riders with a custom frame/swing-arm to make it work?

[@stilianivanov3377]

@@sandy_knight Sure they do have custom frames. The only manufacturer who doesnt do that is Nukeproof up til 2015.

[@thechickendude2242]

Idk why but running a 29er on a slopeduro is not as bad ascit seems

[@beggarwoodbikepark3974]

Mush the bikes at rampage aren’t slopeduro bikes

[@sandy_knight]

@@beggarwoodbikepark3974 I'm sure you're correct but what's the difference then? Or, what's the closest your average rider can buy/convert to get something like a a pro rampage bike?

[@MatthewMenze]

I'd love to see you change the brake to a hybrid cable actuated hydraulic brake, and add a gyro. Or run one of those hydraulic gyros. They were cool mechanisms that never seemed to get much acknowledgement outside of midschool BMX.

[@mudkayak6305]

Bluetooth brakes coming soon = no cables

[@cravendale9021]

@@mudkayak6305 hopefully not made by sram then 😂😂😂

[@GD-gj6mn]

Yeah, its slope style, brakes are just here to stop at the bottom, a BB5 on the rear would be more than sufficient.

[@gavinrides9728]

@@cravendale9021 nah we’re getting axs code r’s lol

[@neilk22]

Had this thought too - even running a cable actuated disc all the way without the hydraulic calliper would be fine considering the need for rear brakes.

[@LeviLogan1]

One addition that I think really completes a slope-duro is dj saddle. One of those things that’s not totally necessary but sure is nice.

[@andrewince8824]

Mine is an End-style bike. DMR Bolt slopestyle frame with 150mm Fox forks, a Rockshox RT3 rear shock, NX Eagle groupset, MT Trail Sport brakes and a crap tonne of Hope aftermarket parts. Flicks like a slopestyle bike but does the distance, flies up hills and blasts down them like an Enduro. Started with an overgrown full-squish BMX and now I have a king-killer genre defining All-Mountain beast.

[@dillonlay7240]

I would like to see Seth make a ski bike I’ve been seeing them on the slopes lately and it’s making me really want to build one. I think Seth would have some good ideas on how to build one.

[@filipegil8752]

Love it! I'm in the process of repurposing my very first MTB, and old 100mm XC 26in bike into a 26" BMX cruiser. Same as you I'm doing it because you can't have too many bikes, and I have Enduro, hardtail, fixie, 20" BMX, old postman bike and this one will be, I hope my do it all bike but mostly for my to go to the park with my son, get groceries etc. Simple, cool and reliable 😎

[@tirekingpin4958]

Berm peak needs a 3d printer. Custom Chain tensioners and other small components on demand!

[@zanderchiasson8064]

the red hose is AMAZING!!! you had better keep it on!

[@noelpando9264]

That's perfect. Cause nowadays, there are lots of completely extremely groomed downhill runs with lots of jumps and tall berms. With no chunky sections, slopeduro bikes sound perfect for this.

[@JustJake77]

I currently just got an old Kona Dawg (2009-2010 I believe) frame. Just specifically to build a "slopeduro" bike, haha. I'm quite stoked on it.

[@dziugaspranckevicius7911]

After watching this vid, I thought to myself. I have a 24inch wheel base bike. Why don't I make it into like a dirt jumper. Thank u so much Seth for this idea.

Outdoor fotage today was spot on. Nice work

[@Lanukgang]

That's brilliant You guys are so lucky, here in South Africa, it's will cost an arm and a leg, waaaay to expensive here

[@jeskli11]

Haven't tried it personally, but I think you could've used as the chain tensioner an (old) rear mech and just tighten the limit and B-tention screws. That would look great on such kind of bike.

[@sprinklesmtb]

Just use the surly singleator sith the push up spring. Basically the best chain tensioner and with the push up spring you get more chain wrap around the cog and chainring

[@mattspen]

Fun video! Now I want to stiffen up my suspension and hit some jump lines.

[@Dempsey222]

Seth is going Sam Pilgrim style with that paint booth. Sam would be proud of that one.

It looks a lot like my hardtail. Also made it single speed, also have a hard front and also has a long rear brake hose. It's basic, it's simple, it looks like a million cents. ...but now I also want to have a road bike, so I'm considering a new wheelset, drop bars and drivetrain to match.

[@bobleponge9338]

Hi Seth, really enjoy watching your content. Just a thought, couldn't you run the rear brake hose through the front fork as well, then tie it to your frame from underneath? That way you wouldn't need to wrap it around like that...

[@JCCrow1998]

The hose would get caught on the stanchions of the fork, but nice thought 👍

[@kristinwale4045]

U make it look so easy

[@levant3738]

love your vids man im just getting into building a bike have no clue what my frame is but im loving building it up little by little from the ground up just having a tough time picking parts out for it

[@maoufreed1684]

@2:06 Ah.. yes Nothing conspicuous there seth 😏

[@bryannesi1792]

Seth needs a custom gyro for the slopeduro!!!

[@mrupholsteryman]

Coming from the 80s bmx and then freestyle ish world... that was one thing that I hated was the front brakes through the necks stem bolt through the fork (in a cable) the front brakes never stopped as well as the race bike I had put front brakes on for trick purposes..ends etc. The ACS rotor was the solution for bar spins and keeping back brake cables from being too long and then having to reverse spin the bars from time to time..but you'd have to move the stem higher to make room for the rotor..and the tension on the device was not centered (as there was one cable on top and one on bottom) The gyro (now the oryg?) Fixes those issues as it goes to the side of the frames headtube and not on top of it and has balanced pulls on both sides! I think the solution for better braking for the guys that want less "arteries" all over the place and less potential of long brake cords that can catch twigs, fingers, other unwanted collateral damages in unwanted collisions with stunts that go bad.... I've thought of doing this myself....and yet haven't done it yet... But I can totally see something like this in a something "different yet kinda the same" that should happen... I may just have to stop procrastinating and do this! May start a new trend in bilateral holes for internal hose routing for cables/hoses in the manufacturing side... Would be a cleaner look overall and maybe the only negative would be more connections to make sure no leaks in... one could make the brake handle side mechanical and the caliper side hydraulic if one so chose.... lots of options.

[@mrupholsteryman]

Evidently...been done before. I just searched Google... haha! Don't know why it hasn't stuck.🤔

[@Sam-oc6vd]

Remove the White axents like the stickers, I file like a purely matt plack bike with only a few red axents would look way better than how it is rn

10:15 Mom, the neighbor is staring at me again!

[@Dakduifgaming]

if you are smart, do the back brack cable thru the steering like the front one does.

[@ChannelZeroOne]

I cant recall the name of that park you are at, but I was sent there as a joke because I had an ebike. Its primarily a BMX style park and the spot in the clip is the indoor section. 5:29

Do a gyro for your cable management for the back break

couldn’t you also run the back brake hose through the head tube from the top down as well and then just run it to the back brake externally? idk maybe i thought this would work but it might work the same way as the front brake and look cleaner at the same time…
