Padded shorts and hemorrhoid cream. Power through! 🤘

[@tim__sadler]

Get your mates to take a video or pics of you riding - the obvious one is always saddle height - more recently e-bikers using boost and having their seats slammed (as they are not aware of the pedalling inefficiency). Then the guidance is measure and test on ALL touchpoints... some people are lucky and can ride bikes out of the box, but some people need a lot of fettling. 🤘- oh and once you have found a comfortable saddle - stick with it....(and buy spare for future builds).

[@feedbackzaloop]

Fit and comfort are counterintuitive: what feels nice on the turbo for 10 minutes will most likely cause big problems outdoors already past the first hour. Then, most handlebars lack sweep just like the whole setup lacks rise. Lastly, there are no perfect pedals and shoes, gotta choose your poison.

I love the mix of branded components on my Meta HT: Öhlins fork, SRAM drivetrain, & Shimano stoppers. Super glad I took a chance on the fork!

[@AndyStilin]

Where is Anna??? Has she left the channel??

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

It's been awhile. Is she cooking up some content?

[@James-e4d6h]

@@LaurentiusTriariusit says on linked in she’s open to work so I guess she’s off 🎉

[@River_Miles]

With Doddy and now Anna gone, is there really a point in staying here?

[@AndyStilin]

Is she gone?? Can someone from GMBN confirm please? #gmbntech

[@RubenJFernandes]

On her Instagram still saying gmgb and gmbntech presenter

[@KDog2264]

I met someone that has the pendulum pedals. He said they may be a little expensive but are well worth the money.

[@joehoeper3941]

The elevated chainstays on the Forrestal bikes.....i dunno......

[@OwenBikeNerd]

Did you have or do you remember the Elevated chainstays of early 90's? Cheers Owen

[@JeffMTBinVA]

Good show Owen. I like the workshop set better. And as other's have said, where is Anna?

[@dennispikephotography]

Love that transition with the boxxer. I have a transition Patrol and I really want to put the 170mm MRP dual crown on it.

[@jb2cool_mtb]

#AskGMBNTech, I’ve just started reading your mountain bike maintenance book (nicely made with good quality paper and nice photos) but have noticed some errors, who can I send these to so that they get corrected in future editions/reprints?

[@Seppster58]

#QUIZ. Okay Owen, I would say Canyon Bicycles GmbH is across the Moselle River.

[@seano218]

The best way to get the best fit for a saddle is the same way roadies do it is by measuring your seat bone width. That way you get a saddle thay matches you better instead of wasting sp much time and money just trying out different saddle without a basis and ending up with a sore butt!

[@NoodlesSoucy]

I’ve put off cleaning mine for a few days just so I can watch the video first 😂

[@simmmon7056]

That's Canyon for sure

[@tim__sadler]

Can I just post a 👍for the morning release of the video - having it drop near the end of the day means I can't watch it whilst I should be working... 😎

[@RubenJFernandes]

#quiz that is on the other side of the river is Canyon

[@Petrolhead912]

Can the person that stole Owen’s desk please bring it back

[@OwenBikeNerd]

ha ha ha ha! Desk returning soon - promise! Cheers Owen

[@SlawekOrlowski_73]

Canyon Bicycles GmbH 🤘

[@petersauer94]

Where is Anna Cipullo,are we your subscribers and viewers of your channel going to be informed? Or is this the contempt you have for us? It doesn't have to be in detail, just something brief 😢

[@alanbussell7894]

#askGMBNtech why doesn't sealant seal spoke holes?

[@OwenBikeNerd]

Ooo great question! We'll try and answer that in a upcoming Ask GMBN Tech! Cheers Owen

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Ok now I need to put coconut oil in that set of tektro 😂

[@NigelGigel]

Across the river is Canyon

[@nathanputland8199]

#quiz It's Canyon Cycles

[@tim__sadler]

#quiz - hmmm last week I did put 1989 as Greg H was racing the prototype - commercial release was 1990 though... The answer this week is Canyon Bikes.

[@AJ_Brimson]

@GMBN Tech where is Anna and Doddy!!!!!

[@elmomos]

Doddy left the channel time ago, now working for Mondraker

[@AJ_Brimson]

@@elmomos bro what when did he do this?

[@KJDJ]

Canyon :)

[@robhaskins3068]

Seriously we have 6 Bontrager City Comp 165mm saddles on different Emtbs and everybody that we lend a bike to comments on how comfortable the seat is without any prompting. Seem to suit a lot of different riders with different abilities. The bonus is they are relatively cheap and available. E=mtb²

Not liking new set. Much better with a desk

[@OwenBikeNerd]

This was filmed in Ergon's office - so don't worry the new set looks amazing! Cheers Owen

Forestal suspension design is either outdated or revolutionary. Depending on who you ask...

[@OwenBikeNerd]

Well yes thats very true! On paper a single pivot - with a link activated shock - can still offer great suspension - it might not offer the axle path changes that twin link or 4 /6 bar systems could offer - but still it can still work great - are you fan? Cheers Owen

[@tbull1545]

i would love to see the stats of how many people have lost their teeth by carrying a gopro in there mouth while riding.

[@TheTomppaa]

I don’t think anybody sane would do that. It’s usually mounted on a full face.

[@FloppyWaffle]

Tired of hearing about bike fitting as it's just not an option for allot of people. I get it, it's the best place to start if you have that option but maybe do a video that leaves that out. Maybe try doing a video about this topic for the average rider who got to figure this stuff out without the help of a professional.

[@OwenBikeNerd]

Thanks for sharing and getting into the discussion Bike fitting doesn't have to the smoke mirrors and laser beams high price Roadie stuff - a bike fit can be done one with real trail feel boosting performance results with just a few simple tools and low cost - and I feel its one the best ROI upgrades! But yes noted on us doing a video about how do a bike fit - and we've already been working on one! Again thanks for joining in and the feedback Cheers Owen

[@seano218]

Bike fits don't need to be as detailed for roadies as for mtbers. Roadies need all of that because they are in one position longer. A basic fit for mtbers can be done since position changes so much. Really, just get a seat bone measurement for a proper saddle (so you won't be wasting time and money for a sore butt), basic Fore and Aft of the saddle, handlebar (stem length too) and cockpit placement for beginners. It's all relative and doesn't have to be expensive as an improperly fit bike will cause you physical problems and worsen if untreated. It's just as necessary as your tire psi and shock adjustment. There are videos to help as well.

[@bogdandecowski7442]

There's a video about bike fitting from "Pop up bikes" Manchester.

[@CogMarks]

Bikes are built to fit men, who are built like gorillas, with long torsos /arms and short legs. Women, with long legs and short torsos/arms, have to do some work to make their bikes fit because bike frames are made to fit men. Why bike companies don’t make the small bikes with a geometry to fit women better makes no sense to me, since it is women buying the small bikes.

[@rider65]

Really? 'Cause I'm 5'7" 29" inseam with short arms. 🧐 Apparently I'm a gorilla?🤔

[@tracymcmanus550]

There are still brands that cater to women specific bikes. Juliana (Santa Cruz) and Liv (Giant) are the two most known. Many companies use to until around 2019-20. They just don’t sell enough to keep them as an option. I have a friend who rides a Santa Cruz small who has short arms who loves hers

[@mark7620]

Well, I guess I need to rethink my life due to my dimensions. Time to accept that despite my penis, I am a woman. How very fitting in the current political climate. Prepare yourself real women, I guess I'm coming to invade your spaces.
