Lol that will be freaking hit for the "Diy" episodes. ❤

[@SuperJungeJunge]

hot tip on the canister, if its the same diameter as mine then it should fit in bottle cage. I keep 2 cages zip tied to my feedback stand and use one to hold the canister. works really well to reach both wheels and have one central place to pump so its not rolling all over the floor. other bottle cage is for a half bottle to hold tools.

[@OriginalGabriel]

I'm all about a left pull on the seat tube, and a right pull on the down tube, with a half frame bag for tools and lunch (burrito and/or PB&Js and bananas), and a feedbag for quick power snacks.

[@mateo8412]

Congratulations to 35k one million is right around the corner 💪

Much respect Mateo, Couldn't have done it with out you!

Only 1 try to bleed brakes this time?!? You are basically a pro mech now! 2nd best video on the internet.

[@markjohnson5502]

Can I edit comments? Haha, note to self, wait to comment until watching whole video. Still good job, semi-pro mechanic.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Haha love it keep the mid video comments coming.

[@MrJonnyb120]

One of the great things about your videos is that you done edit yourself. You show yourself as human, making mistakes . Thanks

[@jekyll8004]

I....KNEW....I'd learn something!! My struggles with cardboard box opening are now over! Turns out I've been using the wrong tool for the job all these years! Thanks DK! :)

Hahaha happy to share my time honored tradition of appropriate box opening.

So. Many. Air. Bubbles... Also love the saw sound effects!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

YESH

[@mherke]

For your rear brake problem, when you pressed the calipers in, make sure not to squeeze the brake levers until the rear wheel gets put back on. That may have caused you to get air in the line the first time. I've done this plenty of times. Now when I take off a wheel, i always put those disk brake bleed blocks.

[@addingonbird1]

I run the bottle cage pump mount as well after breaking a rib with the pump in my jersey pocket. I buy them on Amazon and they mount behind the cage. Love em

[@niekvanhamburg649]

Broke a rib which makes laughing a painful affair, but for some reason, I just didn’t care. Keep your glibness coming!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I cracked a rib once! Got respect for your endurance! Heal up bud.

[@niekvanhamburg649]

Dustin Klein Thanks Dustin, appreciate it!

[@scottatkins8381]

MAY MAN! Totally feeling on you on the tire thing. I have sooooo many tires! always looking for the next best thing for each of my bicycles.

[@alutious]

i have broken enough small pumps to realize most of my pumps fit in all of the different mounts that i have put "under" and beside the cages. I swap pumps with impunity. However, some have an added velcro strap which is reassuring for the bumps. I am interested to hear how the bottle retention is on your side cages.

[@ARJWright]

Came across Hutcheson tires last year. Took a chance on them (700x35 for a converted hybrid-now-gravel ride), am very happy. Awesome video as usual... folks sending ya product and not sponsoring, they missed that part of the contract I sent them after the last video 😝

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

This slithery SOB’s I’m still keeping you as my Console

[@thunderinthenight13]

Apart from all the free stuff, this is a good representation of my attempts to mechanic my bicycle.

[@jonhume6051]

DK, those Hutchinson's look nice; still enjoying? Re: tubeless 1st seating. Not sure if tried, but a nice hack is to use an old valve core with 'valve' part of it snapped out to allow air to flow into the tyre far more easily. Can't guarantee seating with a pocket pump - but does make setting up with a track pump far less of a pump your arse off and sacrifice your eldest to the gods type event. Entertaining and really well put together vid, much appreciated over here 👍

[@MikeyLikeyBikey]

There's also an app by Feedback Sports where you can keep track of bike maintenance on multiple bikes!

[@andycocktails]

Love your vids DK. Weeds sprayer also works great for seating tubeless rubber. They're pretty much free too!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Oh yeah Ive yet to try this. There are a few videos on doing this. Have you had any luck with them?

[@andycocktails]

@@EverythingsBeenDone yeah dude. It's all i use, being the cheapskate that i am. Works fine on large volume MTB every time!

[@alutious]

Not putting the pistons back after 2000 miles it was brutal getting it back. After 3 days i eventually got the pistons to retract. When i do this i also clean the pistons before i retract them, and i also put oil on the pistons. Some people use a kind of silicon. Worked well for me, so i do retract the pistons (push them back) more often. Because...I am avoiding the dreaded brake bleed. Never done it, good on you :-). Not looking forward to that. I can't wait to open my next box using your technique. I am putting in a new saw blade right now. I have a saddle coming later this week. Or i could wait for a box of tires coming. I think that cannister you got could make a mean espresso - Large.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Im sure you could tackle a break bleed.

[@alutious]

@@EverythingsBeenDone i forgot to use the saw. i was so excited to get my saddle and put it on, then one of the saddle bolts disappeared took me 2 elapsed hours to find it lol. I think i have another package coming, i'll have to hang my saw up over the mailbox. Have you ever used a dremel to open a box. Hmmmm, what fitting to use, so many. Sandpaper, metal sharpener, glass polisher...

[@JB-bp3nz]

Ugh I know the feeling! I cleaned and lubed my sticky piston and somehow contaminated my brake pads and now I'm on my third time taking them off the calipers to clean them. This time I'm going to torch them muahaha!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Bike stuff OMG never ends, Im glad Im not the only one having issues out there!

[@byronstumman7420]

So damn hilarious 🤣 and love frame bags. Yes side mount bottle cage is a must with them. I ride like I’ll have a to do a full rebuild/will encounter the apocalypse every time I go out. So my daily tool kit is massive and fills a lot of the frame bag.

[@Swoonorama]

I am always looking forward for your great video! I started hating handing dot 5.1 fluids, as it is super nasty/toxic/environmentally damaging...so I switched to GRX! Bleeding is easy and better braking power!

[@gerarddriscoll5599]

Excellent Dustin, I think there's a mechanic in you somewhere 😜 keep up the good work 👍🔧🔧🧰🧰🔩🔩

[@FuzzyJ144]

Yo Dustin this is wild. I've been looking for a used Park Tool INF-2 and an air compressor because my Joe Blow won't cut it for tubeless. Might have to get a TubiBooster now! Also I did the same thing with some SRAM Rival disc brakes today, cleaned and checked the pistons. Make sure you push them both in fully with a plastic tire lever and possibly open your pads a bit with a packing pad protector before putting the wheel back on.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks for the tips player

I also ride with the pump on the bottle cage mount. At least topeak's mount fits on the non-driveside so for pictures it's obstructed by the downtube. Also topeak sells just the mount itself but it's at criminal prices.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Have you found when the mount is on no drive side the handle can giggle loose on rugged terrain?

[@SiopaoSauc3]

@@EverythingsBeenDone hey DK. It's never giggled out ever not even on gravel. The mount has a rubber band that stretches over the pump that's handle side down to keep it in place. Topeak Racerocket pump.

Another funny episode. Thanks for the shout out on my Bday. Reid Darth

[@TimFitzwater]

So the Tubi is about getting the air into the tire fast so it seats? I’m unclear on that. (but I also only have one bike with tubeless and my friend owns a bike shop so I’ve always had him set them up - he obviously has a compressor.)

[@jpspider]

Had that brake problem on my mtb recently. First disc brakes I had so I tried to replace the pads by myself. Ended up with a cracked pistom and leaking brakes after pushing the pistons in. Conclusion: new brake on the front and new set of pads since i contaminated the other set 💩

[@brauljo]

3:04 The problem is that they're usually not as sturdy for bigger bottles like the Soma Further.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

That’s some solid insight right there! Appreciate you.

[@TheBirchCreek]

@@EverythingsBeenDone You ride long rides without much stopping, usually some number of bottles (more than one) with you, right? Consider a camelbag in the (properly larger) frame bag?

Hey Dust, later in some next "episode" (sounds funny), can you give us more feedback how the Hutchinson toureq are holding. I'm more intereste to know in the rolling resistance those time when you hit the pave roads compare to the gravelking SK.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Touregs are good on pace as well. I have only riddin the Gravel King SF as 650 b so comparing is tricky but they are def in the same category.

[@아우빠]

3 bikes? all out of service? sounds familiar, until I got a vintage mtb. Trust me, you need one. And guess what, they are cheap so you need no sponsors for one. You could draw the whole steel frame like I did, with a sharper. For the fire roads you ride and 650b wheels you ride, not sure you will notice the difference. Greetings from the Basque Country!

Hey Dustin ! This video is out just when i needed it ! My question is, when you will have ridden the 700x45c enough - which do you prefer between 700x45 and 650bx45ish ? Is 700 enjoyable or does it feel like a truck ? Or the 650b is just more playful and enjoyable ? I am currently riding 650b wheels that came with my Nukeproof Digger and am looking to upgrade to a lighter wheelset but cannot decide which size is better. Thank you and keep up the good work ! Cheers from France :-)

Wait, wait -- how do you lock rear derailleur in down position? Is this a model with some kind of lock built it in or do you put invisible screwdriver and I missed that? :-)

Sorry for splitting hairs, Dustin, but I think of this every time you mention it: when companies send you free things to keep in exchange for mentioning them on your videos, that's pretty much the same thing as 'sponsoring' you.

Sponsorship means $ transfer. Free stuff is flow. It’s very different to me.
