10 Mildly Useful Hacks for Mountain Bikers

[@MassisPipes]

That sandblast hack is like a free ticket straight to Silicosis! First of all: sandblasting is pretty much NEVER done with actual sand. The most basic medium is glass bead, and you can buy it for a couple of dollars per pound. Secondly, you ALWAYS want to wear a decent respirator (preferrably a half-face mask with filters or better) when sandblasting, because that dust is guaranteed to cause problems with your lungs!

[@dasgehtdichnichtsan1895]

Everyone should read this!!!

[@matthewbentley4409]

Yeah, I’m in healthcare and I was thinking the same thing either an enclosed container or some kinda protection for your lungs.

[@RealMTBAddict]

Not as big a problem as you think. I've been in concrete for 13 years, grinding off an on. Sure, it's not great and irritates your lungs. But for people doing it once a month or once a year, it's perfectly fine. And they make masks specifically for grinding, full face shields. Or a fully enclosed oxygen mask.

@@RealMTBAddict anecdotal reports from a different hazard isn't really a valid counter argument now is it...

[@cjmpaja]

An old-school frame protection hack that I still use: 3m brand safety grip tape. Colloquially known as bathroom tape. Stick that stuff on the most vulnerable parts of your bike (ex: the downtube, crankarms, etc...). It''s thicker than the usual frame protection tape. Useful for protecting the bik3 against scratches, flying rocks, etc...

[@cheese_bacon123]

That’s actually really smart

[@vasingerke]

Do you have a link for this? Is this transparent?

[@cjmpaja]

@@vasingerke you can find that in your local hardware store. As well as online. There are multiple variants of that. And there is a transparent version. You do not wrap the frame with that tape. You just apply it to the most vulnerable parts of your bike. As an example: I have stuck a length of that on the underside of my bike's downtube. I've seen people use it on their fork's lowers, crankarms, etc...

[@wolfrikvonschwarzblut3921]

That's exactly what I did with my bike. The roll of tape was cheaper than one of those All Mountain Style frame protection kits. I know it's not as stylish, as it doesn't come with those fancy camo graphics, but I dare to say it's sturdier. I got it at Home Depot.

[@cjmpaja]

@@wolfrikvonschwarzblut3921 yup. I still have what's left of the roll i got in 2013... It's pretty thick so it protects well...

7:10, Seth says that like half of the population doesnt regularly have to remove blood from clothing if you dont have peroxide(or don't want to damage your clothes) - soak in *cold* water asap and wash with a bar of soap or Vanish, also in cold water before chucking in the wash also with Vanish or the like just whatever you do dont use hot water as it will set the blood in the fabric

This is the answer. Just soak in cold water and then wash it. You don’t even have to be that quick about soaking it.

[@tdstevenhall]

Saline is the trick for blood. Water will burst the hemoglobin and set the stain. Saline will not and makes the blood come out easily.

I have a hack with a blinky light, just good for a having a light so people can see you for commuting or something like that. Basically it involves taking your stem faceplate and bars off then threading the elasticated loop of the blinky over the stem and putting the bars and stem back together, then you can do up the loop on the blinky as you would. The blinky sits nicely on top of the stem or you can even put it on the underside but the button is harder to access. The hack works best on bikes with more tubular stems. Another linked hack is to swap the red rubber casing on a rear light for a black one off a front light for a more stealth look. Again a blinky is sufficient for a commuter rear light and can simply just stay on the bike for when you next need it. Both of these hacks are effectively free save for the lights which most people have kicking around anyway. Love your work, George

[@chas60422]

A hack to remember position of brake/shift levers is to mark it with a retractable pencil. Once the levers are set perfectly, use a reference point like the gap of a hinge or the window of the clamp. Then make a mark with the pencil. So when you have to take apart your cockpit, resembling the positions are a breeze by lining up the lever to your tracing. Works also for your bar to stem.

[@bullfrogboss8008]

I'm pretty sure this hack was included in some of Seth's videos long time ago

[@rcranes2227]

HACK: When you cut a steerer on a new fork, save the off-cut. When you service your fork, instead of having your cockpit hanging pulling and twisting cables, clamp it onto the steerer tube off-cut and set it down on top of your headset. Now your handlebars are sitting safely on your bike while you service your fork.

This is cool but only works on very very tall steerers

Nice video Seth. You are the person who got me into mountain biking. I've been watching for a year and a half now. A hack that I sometimes use is that you can use a lighter for decontaminating your rotors and when you are climbing with glasses you can put them into the vents on your helmet. Also by placing an apple air tag or other item of that kind in the bottom of your fork and taping it there you can plug the hole so no muck gets in while being able to track your bike if stolen.

So the ultimate way to get a blood stain out of clothing, from my hematology lecture in medical school, is to dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt into 2 cups of water (about a plastic water bottle). This solution is about the same salt concentration (osmolarity) as your blood like you would see with normal saline given IV for fluid administration. Soak the clothing in your homemade normal saline solution and the solution will be able to lift out the blood without causing the cells to burst and stain like they would when trying to use regular water.

HACK - For cold weather riding - tape the front vents of your helmet of - you can still vent out the back vents but you no longer get that airflow across the top of your head. Works well in conjunction with a headband to keep your ears warm. Use masking tape for the maximum un-coolness factor.

Here's a hack: once you've set up your bike to fit yourself, use a paint pen or silver sharpie to put small marks on your controls and bars, bars and stem or anything where they meet. That way if you have to make minute adjustments, you crash and stuff moves, or you loan the bike to a buddy and they move things to fit themselves, you can put everything back exactly where you like it

Seth! I'm a couch biker for now due to injury but your videos are so inspiring to get back into it when I finally can afford a bike again and can physically do so despite disability. Don't eat me up for this but I own three outdoorsy dogs who love to get into anything they can. Because of this they get worms and parasites despite being treated. The water in the ground thing seems safe, as they do it all the time, but there are a lot of things in the ground you don't want your pups getting. And they spread fast too. My input, as a dog owner and future mountain biker is if you are going to take your dog with you, it's important to have the proper gear for them as well. It's not usually a lot of stuff anyways. Thanks for the great content though

Hack suggestion: If you don't have access to a garden hose for bike cleaning and don't want to purchase a portable pressure washer, you can just use a big garden watering can (or camping solar shower bag). You also don't have to worry about your bearings since the pressure isn't as high. Also, you never mentioned carrying a first aid kit in any of your videos (that i've seen). Maybe you have a good suggestion where to store that on the bike?

I did the O-ring hack a while ago and if you don't want to disassemble all that stuff you can cut the O-ring and use a drop of super glue to glue it back up. Just make sure not to get any on the stanchions.

[@chrislukes9037]

Seth, You should use *distilled white vinegar* instead of bleach for the mildew on your wooden features - experts recommend this because _it actually works better_ particularly for deterring regrowth (was surprised to learn this myself, but look it up), not to mention covering your bases for any environmental considerations. I’m sure the small amount of bleach you are misting on your features is pretty negligible (and frankly acceptable, in my mind), but you should switch over if only for sake of effectiveness! Also, your joke was funny, but I’d question the general assumption that cutting down a tree necessarily is a greater environmental impact than allowing chemicals to leach into the ground - regrowing a tree is often easier and sometimes quicker than reversing pollution that has accumulated in the environment.
