Checking Out The Bikes in California | Daily Driver Bike Checks

[@outerbike]

The Klein (and those nearly new) DeathGrip tires was the best! 26" Ain't dead yet!

[@dylanjohnson254]

@T H nah i can still make it work. my 26er still works like a charm and the rei i work at still carries decent tires, my fork works great, and my rims are still working enough to get by. plus, i think it’s hilarious having a 52 tooth cassette on a 26er wheel

[@motov8-garage832]

26" freeride and dj bikes are far from dead. Probaly more people into them in the last few years then ever. And if you cant find 26" tires, your not dedicated or looking hard enough. As far as 1 1/8 forks, I personally dont have that issue, My 26" 2014 Scott voltage has a 1.5 head tube top and bottom so I can fit any type of forks I want, just need to use the equivalent headset setup. If you need any bike parts you can't find locally, go online, ebay, bike sites, craigslist locally or a couple cities over, you'll find what you want. Just gotta want it and be dedicated. 97% of the other bike parts are interchangeable and can be made to work. It's all personal preference thou, do whatever floats your boat and have fun, that's what it's all about.✌

That whole My buddies bike shop thing 😂 Such a good video! I love a weird commuter. I really want to build a tall bike now 😄

[@michaelcary7580]

In the slash interview when you mentioned the zip ties I actually had one of my mini link bolts fall out

[@cloudkap]

This was so good... I nerded out so hard seeing the older bikes mixed with new tech. Now i have some new pranks to pull in the shop (zip tying suspension pivot bolts together)

[@hiigara2085]

I've been waiting for this. I demand more 😂

[@pinkbike]

Ha these are bloody great to make - will keep hunting! - Tom

[@hiigara2085]

@@pinkbike yeah man. New tech is kewl but the strongly whipped daily bikes are ❤️

[@dallinmaddock5923]

Tom is the perfect guy to do these! Such fun videos keep up the great work 🤘

[@pinkbike]

Thanks Dalin, these are great to make - Tom

[@cheut]

To the dude with the Klein: Rockshox Recol Rl comes in 27.5 100mm with a straight steerer tube - I put it on my old 26” yeti to run a mullet and it worked out really well

[@ROBMTB]

That kashima coat fox 32 looks suspicious

[@mattpaturej90]

Gemini! Had one of them ages ago, 2003 900 model with Marz Super T 2003, awesome bike that was.

[@pinkbike]

Adjustable travel, what a beauty! - Tom

[@michaelsturgeon5210]

I love these daily driver vids , to me it gets back to what biking was or should be ... enjoy riding what you have , we're all getting to caught up in tech with this seasons must haves which I think is detracting away from what's more important .... to just have fun riding .

[@pinkbike]

These are my favourites too - and there were plenty more beauty bikes and people who we didn’t get on camera, will keep them coming! Cheers! - Tom

[@michaelsturgeon5210]

@@pinkbike cheers Tom 🍻

[@thehighground4920]

Missed this series a lot

[@pinkbike]

Same! - Tom

[@Goodman-4525]

Did the Klein have disc mounts stock or did he do something to mount them?

[@josiahhorning2813]

The zip ties bolts tho!!

[@wtfchazpwnt]

Really creative and interesting setups!

[@DBrown87]

I'm the only one in Hope BC, or Fraser Valley with a double decker mtb. Definitely turns heads downtown Hope, love the reactions!

[@ernestocazares4065]

I love the bike check segment

[@isaaccuartase3546]

There still are thousands of mt bikers on 26 inch bikes, tire companies should keep making 26" stuff at least for the next 5 years, now I have 1.75 road tires on my ironhorse warrior, wich is terrible, but I have not other way to go :(

[@IIISentorIII]

I still love my old SCOTT Genius LT 40 with 26" and the custom 110mm fork that you can extend to 185mm

[@IVANMTB]

Good video friend✌🤩

[@superchickensoup]

Some scary high bottom brackets going on here 😁

[@WeekendPirate]

Some of these bikes were pretty unique 😂

[@DFTBA10000]

If you want to buy my leaky reverb and live in the bay area, It's listed on pinkbike. It probably just needs new o-rings!

[@DFTBA10000]

Also Tom is *every* bit as lovely in person as he seems on video. I'm still baffled at how I could love every moment of someone mocking me on camera, but Tom pulls it off somehow

[@pinkbike]

Hahah thanks Coby but we’re laughing WITH you!!

[@xElectricblaze]

5:33 videobomb with the wheelie! lol

[@spencerimre]

My only issue with the Hellion was the DH casing Minion on the front paired with the EXO aggressor on the back. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@jl.520]

Keep these coming

[@okatbikes4917]

That first guy's fork is as aliexpress as they come.

[@Wannaridebikes]

I cut a h in a inner tube to wrap my bolts so I don’t use them. And yes I use inner tube wrap on chain stay as well

[@claycarnahan6390]

We want the snot rocket!

[@keatona1528]

the guy at the end looked like an enduro rider starter kit

[@DFTBA10000]

I just switched from a straight up roadie kit, so this is an upgrade, trust me

[@keatona1528]

Right on man, do you really need a water bottle AND a hydro pack though? Seems excessive lol

[@DFTBA10000]

Water bottle got whatever weird pink drink sea otter was giving out. Backpack gets water for longer rides (which we were headed out for) but often I just bring it empty for tools/tube/snacks

[@Goodman-4525]

That gold bike looks suspiciously like the GT i-Drive ...

[@joshuagerlach6943]

1997 cannondale super v 500 & 66cc schwinn legacy

[@michaelcary7580]

Make a trip to flagstaff please and let me know if you do

[@wahabali4873]

I love to create thumbnail for your next video

[@antrace92]

I just bought a cheap ass 29er ghost hardtail just to go from home to work but man I'm genuinely scared to ride that thing on real trails 🤣 Also the 2 holes for the kick stand make me feel uncomfortable 😐 I have some shit if I would like to start upgrading but I have no need yet

[@farfrompkin]

this alone says you should do the upgrade : " I'm genuinely scared to ride that thing on real trails" hahahaha

Bikes without saddles LMOA

[@CowneloAlvaroid]

I've noticed 9 out of 10 Californians ride bikes without a saddle. Pure post😱

[@Metal-Possum]

No wonder there's a war in Ukraine. This first dude used a SRAM rotor with his Shimano brake.

[@tweaker_on_a_bike9809]

Tweaking

[@russlikely1137]

Who cares. I couldn’t care if I dropped in the ocean
