The Onguard lock is resistant to hydraulic cutters too, which are starting to become more common for thieves to use. The slider key system they use can essentially be raked open though, unless they've finally switched to disk locks by now, but bike thieves don't pick.

[@mtbikesam68]

After years in the automotive tire business, training people on how to install and remove tires, I go crazy when I see videos of people removing and installing bike tires with no regard for the valve stem position. Every rim has a "drop center" where the tire has to go so that a tire with a bead diameter that is identical to the bead seat portion of the rim can stretch over the rim, i.e., the diameter of the drop center is SMALLER than the diameter of the bead of the tire. This means the valve stem, tube type or tubeless, can interfere with the removal and/or installation of the tire, effectively increasing the diameter of the drop center making it more difficult to stretch the tire over the rim. Remember this simple rule. Removing a tire, put your tire lever in at or directly adjacent to the valve stem. Installing a tire, finish with the valve stem, that is, the last portion of the bead to slide over the rim should do so where the valve stem is located. Start installing the bead 180 degrees away from the valve stem. Yes, some tires fit so loosely that this only makes a minor difference, but if you are struggling with some tighter fitting tires, check to see if your valve stem is hindering your progress.

I used a cheap no name suction cup rack for my car and never had an issue. I eventually put a rack on the front but still use the rear suction cup. CLEAN before you put the cup on. Rock solid

[@felixcunin2403]

I got one of these suction cup racks. I didn't like the air resistance and whistle on my Audi TT, so it ditched the plate, put foam inserts and big Velcro straps directly on top of the suction cups. This way I could lay my road bike flat on the rear window. Much more secure, shielded from some of the wind, no whistle.

[@SasCologne]

Around here bike thieves increasingly often cut through the thing your bike is attached to instead of the bike lock itself. Sometimes they even cut bike stands beforehand and hide the cut with stickers. So while it's a nice lock, it wouldn't provide that much more protection compared to cheaper locks that may not be quite as impenetrable but still very good.

[@napilopez]

I keep hearing people say stuff like this but I think it grossly overstates the likelihood of this happening over a thief just trying to cut the lock. Here in theft prone NYC, I've never seen or heard of a single cut bike stand, but I've heard of dozens of people who have had their bike locks cut. We do have very heavy duty standard issue bike racks here. Moreover I've seen a similar grinder resistant lock (Hiplok D1000) with signs of a failed cutting attempt in the wild. No other standard lock would survive that. Not saying cutting the rack or bike can't happen, but just because a thief *could* do something doesn't mean it's the likely approach.

[@dirkmohrmann8960]

When it comes to higher end bikes, thieves will also just cut the frame in half. Easy to do, and the frame may be traceable via its serial number anyway, while hardly anyone will have written down the serial of their expensive suspension, let alone drive train, or brakes. You can’t really theft proof a bike above a certain price range in public, it’s just too attractive to thieves. When I was a courier many years ago, we’d all use beefy locks, but also artificially make our bikes look less expensive by removing labels, wrapping tape around fancy saddles, and spray painting components. I’d have been all over that grinder proof lock, probably combine it with a cable.

[@Atomicriffmaster]

While a lock should be treated as a deterrent only, there are no thieves out there looking to cut a bike frame apart to get the bike lol. Again, I get the hesitance to go beyond thinking of a lock a a deterrent only. But yeah no, bike dismemberment ain't a thing. You shouldn't be locking up your carbon Pinarello out on the street anyway people!

[@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381]

@@dirkmohrmann8960 I also heard from some people that they have a "city sl*t - Stadtsch*ampe" a working bike, also safe for traffic (lights work) but rather cheapo/run-down on purpose.

[@SasCologne]

@ Agree that it's obviously still more likely for the lock to be cut. But given that some German police departments have warned exactly about this issue of cutting the bike stands and there's been some reporting on it by generally trusted media outlets, it appears to be more than just a hoax at least in this region of the world. I'm not arguing against having a good lock but there are diminishing returns at some point and a false sense of security if one focuses too much on one vector.

I have the tyre glider and I use it for that hard bit of putting the tire on at the end. All your concerns about catching the inner tube are spot on, but so long as you're careful putting the tire on as usual, it just helps you get that last bit done. A bit of mechanical advantage. I still use the pedros for getting the tires off. Seeing you use it as a tire lever is the first time I've seen it used successfully to take a tire off, I've yet to manage it myself 😂. Despite all those caveats I really like it. I've used it in anger on the road and it's saved me time and effort getting my tires back on after a fix.

to me personally, if you’re gonna spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars on a mountain bike, it doesn’t make sense to not have a more reliable and safe way to transport your bike. Even in a small car you could remove the wheels and transport it that way, and if you’re worried about grease from the chain or something getting on your seats, just imagine how mad you’ll be when you gotta replace someone else’s grille or quarter panel because you wanted to put your bike on your car using suction cups.

I've used a rockbros suction rack for years on several different cars. Never had a problem or even the indication that I was close to having a problem. On the other hand, my friends roof rack got blown off and destroyed 3 bikes. So...yeah. I think the reason you think it's sketchy is you don't understand that there's literally 1000 pounds of force holding it on per suction cup. So if you have 4 suction cups, that's 4000 lb of force.

Now with modern disc brakes, I've never tried it (I haven't done it in probably 30 years) but it always worked like a charm and because the can is metal it sounded like a motorcycle exhaust.

I love my Tyre Glider, and have one in every bike bag. I had a Rekon fight me hard, but the issue was that the tire was "pringled," and not in the center. It works better on hooked rims for sure, and when done right you press it around with your palm, arm, and body weight as mentioned. I'd have to see how you'd finish that last bit of touch tire with levers, but at that point I'm used to the fold over by hand method. My favorite tire tool is a 90's three piece extension by Topeak which clips onto the axle on one end, clips onto the rim on the other, and you just spin the whole thing around (on or off) like a car tire machine. Unfortunately, with age it has become fragile. Love the helmet, about the same as a good helmet and pair of prescription sun glasses. I hope it has a photochromatic and replaceable visor. I'd stick with a portable torque wrench tool, but I'm also a sucker for a design that doesn't have little parts to drop, or wrenches that slide out. Happy Riding!

[@kjl42]

I have a tyre glider and the key to putting the tire back on when it gets real tight is putting the wheel on the ground and pushing down. I imagine the same for the monkey one too. Waaaay easier than the traditional Pedros for all my tubeless setups.

Once I've got the bead over the rim then I slip the Glider under the bead and it whips the tyre off. The Glider is better at putting tyres back on, it makes light work of the last 20% of the tyre that's the hardest to get over, even tubeless tyres (provided you've got the rest of the tyre in the centre channel of the wheel).

Problem with those loop style bike locks is that if someone had the time to grind a lock off (and not be found out due to the noise) then they also have the time to just strip all the parts off the bike since that lock won't protect any of the removable parts (perhaps it can go through the frame and 1 wheel). So they're only good for locking the bike while you do something quick (like nipping into a shop), in which case you don't need to it to be grinder-proof. It sounds good on paper, but that's a lot of money for a lock that's main use case doesn't actually require that level of protection.

[@napilopez]

Glad to see the OnGuard lives up to its claims, looks like a cheaper and lighter alternative to the equivalent Hiplok D1000 or Litelok X3. I see some people say "the thief will just cut the rack or bike itself" but compared to just cutting the lock, this doesnt actually happen often in practice. By comparison, a traditional lock like a Kryptonite offers literally no protection against a grinder. I've never heard of happening to a heavy-duty city rack in NYC. Meanwhile, I've seen a D1000 that resisted a theft attempt in the wild. Combined with insurance, I finally feel comfortable locking my bike outside in NYC. Nice to finally have some innovation. (There are discs that cut them more easily, but those are also more expensive and less effective on standard steel locks, so unless you have a very dedicated thief, youre probably good. Insurance provides that extra bit of peace of mind though.)

[@doctajuice]

Yes you are correct Pedro's tire levers are the best ever made

[@FisherLeeTV]

At the point of the beam helmet just get a motorcycle helmet for $100 that is safer

[@HappyDuude]

Curious how much ventilation the beam helmet has

[@luism644]

Spokester Con: It doesn’t work on the Reevo 😢

[@wyatt5679]

Really big ask but I am a 13 year old just now getting into mountain bikes and I have a Marlin 5 gen 3 that took me about a year to save up for. I want to upgrade it but don’t have money to being honest and I feel very limited seat post wise so what are the odds I get a cheap PNW dropper post that I know you recommend. I know it’s a big ask but it would be a big help and keep up the vids they’re great!!

[@bryceridesbikes]

I've changed hundreds of tires with a Pedro's levers and the only tire lever I like better than a trusty Pedros's lever is the Cushcore one. Its end is basically the same shape as the Pedro's but with a big fat handle to hold onto.

1:37 sound like me in a call with my mother in law "i'm passing through a tunnel..." 🤣🤣🤣

[@JetSlayerJ]

0:36 Most of them dont like picking but like grinding.💀

[@HiruS22]

The lock is very impressive, but unfortunately these days they tend to just cut through the rail or post that your lock is round, much easier for the cutoff wheel

[@Sunspot-19]

Seth, that funky "lever" about gave you a hernia!! Pedros are uncontested!! As for the helmet... I'll keep using my 40 buck Protec Classic. Now that your bike had a heart attack... Time to update your insurance to zero deductible, actual replacement cost plan.

[@ZacDonald]

The Beam Helmet without the light, slightly cheaper, and in dark gray or black and I'm sold.

[@caramelldansen2204]

5 dollar light included? That'll be a 50 dollar premium. (Numbers aren't exact, I'm just guessing, it's rhetorical)

[@___Bruh__]

@@caramelldansen2204 lol fr just slap a reflector on it and call it a day.

[@Slikx666]

Totally agree. 👍

[@baddriversofcolga]

Also, put some mesh or something over the earholes - it looks so goofy as it is.

[@ZacDonald]

@@baddriversofcolga I don't think the ear holes would look as prominent in black, but I wouldn't mind if it had the visor plastic with vents either.

[@318isGood]

Ti bike on the windshield is crazy. Nice work, Seth

[@OhTheNormanity]

The helmet looks really good. Could be perfect for my evening road rides along the river. That visor will be great at blocking flies in the face.

[@JoshKidder]

Seth turned his custom handrail into the greatest hood ornament ever!!

[@nigelmcclean4166]

Almost seemed like u didnt want the tire tools to work. lol

[@CinematicJack7]

I think the e bike helmet would look much better if it had a visor. (Like a DH helmet) It'd bonus by keeping the sun out of your eyes. (Maybe I'm just a sucker for DH helmets) Anyway, love your videos Seth. Well done.👍🤜

[@trialsrob214]

Safety glasses and a full face shield are necessary, I’m a welder/ metal worker for over 40 years. I see bikes locked with the cheapest locks and people just destroy the bikes by kicking or standing on the wheels and bending them and generally just abusing the bike knowing they can’t take it. I either take my bike in or I don’t stop

[@zachsylvester383]

I almost thought that helmet was going to have a heads up display in the lens. Would maybe be cool for future models to put HUD and small speakers for navigation. Also, if you are touring a new city you could upload historical facts to it and take a self guided bike tour of say, San Francisco, or Seattle, or any other major metro that already maybe have tours set up.

[@gozy4182]

I actually use the tyre monkey for my tubeless Enduro MTB Schwalbe magic Mary super trail and they work like a charm. Never had a problem with sealing the tyre or anything.

[@photooutdoor2574]

When the lock is so strong, you can’t even make a scratch with an anglegrinder, a u-lock with half the weight would be very interesting!

[@Galileocrafter]

10:00 I bet the LPL could open this lock 10 different, easier and stelthier ways than with an angle grinder.
