Man - the world needs more bmx shops like this. They just don’t exist anymore

[@lukasstipp_bmx]

I know right?! I live in Canada and my local bike shop has like 4 tires one frame and a few sets of pedals and grips, so I have to order everything from source bmx which is in the uk and charges $80 for duty paid shipping!

[@gzhr3397]

my local bmx shop is like this

[@vhb_is_dead]

Albe’s used to be like this back in the day before they switched locations.

[@nicolai6365]

Then try to find One in Germany nearby you.. cause i have this Problem😂😂😂

[@CplHound]

Australia is notorious for not having custom parts stores for anything. I've found a few bmx stores but they're a drive and then some from my house

[@jmza2157]

“He’s too high to come up w/ this” “the g spot”. Phu is a epic

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Lmao

[@SubSailor688]

I've been riding a Stranger combo, for a couple years. Combos make perfect sense, in my opinion. Great vlog, as always!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Thanks Chris! Hope you’re having a good one 💜

[@SubSailor688]

Thanks! I am, Brother. Just hanging in there, day to day. Glad you're doing well, bud!

[@zillagod9347]

[@itsovertonite]

I rock an old school set up with a black ops lay back post and a Mike Aitken railed seat with the old school seat guts. I love the feel

[@brandonz1330]

I could listen to that dude talk about stuff for long time, hella cool and you're right, expert knowledge

[@Junior-fd8ux]

Man I dig this channel so much. As a kid I hung out with the older kids and always bought there bikes off them. My shed was stacked with old mongooses, dynos, gt, and more but those were the main ones. I tossed everything but 2 bikes I purchased way back when they were brand new. Watching this channel brings me back and has giving me the bug again. Wish I could buy from you directly but I’m 3k miles away smh.

[@Atrainswrld]

He ships I bet

[@javi617mm2]

me encanta como habla el chabón, te explica la posta de todo con pros y contras y su parecer, además te dice la historia de quién inventó cada cosa y lo sabe sin dudarlo, se nota a leguas la experiencia. hagan más videos explicando palancas, cubiertas, stems, cosas así, diferencias de los materiales acero/aluminio, diferencias de aleciones de los metales.... muchos hacen reviews pero no parecen tenér demasiada idea de las marcas y la ingeniería de los materiales que usan. buenisimos tus videos viejo!!!

[@oliverzedler7975]

sick vid alf!

[@jessarellanes6648]

I need to go there, awesome bro.

Happy Thursday alfredo!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Happiest of Thursday my dude!

[@hectorn.6137]

Holy shit! I didn't know that the pivotal system was designed by the Canadian Beast!! No wonder you don't see him anymore. Dude's wiping his ass with Benji's now. I guess I should finish the video before commenting.

[@tactical1998]

You did it thankyou man 👊

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Told you I would :))

[@JamiesonM]

I just needed to know of an adjustable seat thats comfortable for long distance and I got the mercedes dealer showing off the new toys. Nice

[@desmar7945]

Love that place and its people.

[@Convolutedtear]

Im thorough but I am always late lol ... big upp!! still actually using my og SE seat lol .. I guess its good to have a back up lol

[@slaitherrman1884]

Hey love your channel you are awesome

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Thanks so much

[@olderthangoogle214]

just so you know, you have the most bad ass bike shop I have ever seen!!!

[@freaknastycreep2737]

Put on a bottle cap opener under a bicycle seat that would be cool 🍾

[@AlfredoMancuso]

😂

[@allen2277]

you should do a video on frames sizes and what is best for your hight and what is best for park or street

[@morefurless]

Ayy I needed this I ruined my seat yesterday I’m looking at a trey jones sig seat

[@victoryu5077]

[@zatkew9137]

I have that animal wedge seat post been using it for years

[@tugboat8475]

Nice cool info video, Finally got my new BMX, bike shop was a few hours drive away. My problem is the seat turns about half an inch either way. The seat pole is on a quick release. Thinking to much lube on the pole. But just as iam texting maybe the seat its self is loose. Haha. Might of answered my own question. Being a black seat on a black seat pole etc. But if its not the seat what would you recommend? Thanks

[@1chickenfeet]

Where is your store located? Very knowledgeable staffs. I hope you’re in Northern California. Need more shops like yours. Keep up the good work!

[@cfmechanic]

Epic Thursday should totally become a regular thing

[@steeki2518]

Yeep

[@loganguzman6856]

Awesome videos with details!! but you forgot to mention IF these newer seats poles fit the older BMX bikes.

[@Atrainswrld]

I just got a redline mx 24 inch. I raised the seat almost all the way up. For cruising. There's only about 3 inches in the aluminum frame. My friend said to be carefull. I can't find the recommendation for how much seat post needs to be in the frame, to try and avoid frame cracking. For wheelies

[@Tristan_8055]

I personally like the wedge pivotol seat it holds tight and rarely moves. Also great video

[@JoelisSc33p0]

same i ride one now still and cant find fancy new ones anywhere

[@patdoomsayer9185]

I started collecting and doing research because of fu he's a good in speration

[@AlfredoMancuso]

He’s real smart :)

[@pauljames4510]

2:49 I remember my Primo hemorrhoid seat the rails bent so i got a Primo Pentagon seat then i started seeing peeps with a really small seat's on there bmx's called a Macneil OG Seat then i got a animal cush pivotal seat and a animal Wedge seatpost and never looked back still rocking the animal Wedge post now 👍

[@barrymandalow]

Primo Haemorrhoid was the best seat of the midshool era

[@mason3vze740]

You should do one with handlebars

[@JamesWilliams-kt5qr]

Here’s what I know about Jay Miron. He can meet you first time then five minutes later he can meet you for the first time all over again. An interview would not work well with him. He’s had so many concussions he’s just not all there anymore.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Sad to hear :(

[@zemertv5950]

I hope there's a shop like this here in Philippines , hey Alfredo...?😁✌

[@AlfredoMancuso]

I would love for there to be businesses like this all over the world :)

[@gabrielmercado5377]

Eclat has redesigned pivotal seats to make it beefier. its actually quite good.

[@KINOSHINOBI]

Can a 22mm post be modified to hold a pivotal setup?

[@juanluisvegasalazar8767]

Hello, guys, quick question, are there any layback seat posts that work with the stealth Kink Whip (2022) seat?

[@ericbuchers8189]

What brand is that suede brown pivotal post seat set up ?

[@AL4140]

Darcy Saccucci was Miron’s partner that came up with Pivitol system. He was the MacNeil Product Manager.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

That was his name! Hellya

[@mikethegodson4250]

Can you take the seat off a seat and post combo ? Or do I need another post?

[@tiffanyspence2981]

In this video it didn't explained much about size and shape of the deets. Ian wondering if you can please do a video with more details about size and shape

[@hectorpinol7951]

Hi guys what size seatpost clamp size do I need for a Haro Fsx 1988?

[@almuharjawali1688]

Foo the historian of bmx❤️🤘

[@artursbode]

It's Phu not Foo xD

[@bryce1728]

is it possible to change a seat and seat post combo to a pivotal one

[@gorlami9232]

Hey Alf, may I know where that Epic shop is located? Love from the Philippines bro ☺️🙏

[@mek0boy293]

What if there isn’t a hole for an Allen key in the top or in the bottom in the seat post nowhere how would I take the seat and post apart

[@4stoever]

Yo, does anyone know if you can put a dropper post on a bmx bike?

[@thrashtronaut999]

[@chad4075]

Anyone know of some seats that are the same size as the Mirra tribute.i have a Mirra tribute but it says haro real big on it and I have a kink.not a big deal but I'd like to see some different options.

[@sdqsdq6274]

is there a sleeve for bmx seat to mtb 30.9 mm ?

[@jmza2157]

I still have Haro Dave Mirra seat on my retired bike aka decoration

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Wow that’s fire

[@jesse-dg8yx]

I believe eclat makes their own special bases that are supposed to be more durable

[@eclatbmxbrand]

Yup, we make our own Pivotal seat base, thanks for noticing!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Don’t forget the stash seat with 17mm built in to the post

[@jesse-dg8yx]

@@AlfredoMancuso not sure how practical the 17mm posts are but I would love a stash seat. pretty sure they're discontinued now though, I can't find them anywhere

[@steeki2518]

Anddd... ECALT IN DA HOUSEEEEE!

[@3rdWorldNola]

RIP tripod. I like mine, the staples came undone on mine v1 devin seat and fly was cool enough to send me a newer version.

[@danielguerrero2426]

[@aljayreynolds1146]

I wanna know about layback seatpost

[@lui1919]

Will the pivotal seat post fit any bmx? I’m gonna get a 25.4 pivotal post seat but not 100% sure it will fit or are bmx frame holes all the same size? Is there a way I can check or what thanks

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Yes it’ll fit all the Major BMX brand frames

[@lui1919]

Alfredo Mancuso alright thank you ❤️

[@steeki2518]

What is that in the thumbnail I0I? Is that L0L or 101 or IOI

[@harrymackenzie5403]

It was an absolute nightmare getting a post which fitted my 1996 frame. None of the ones found in shops worked.

[@babyyoda2190]

Is BSD good brand for like BMX in general?

[@Tristan_8055]

Yes they have some very nice parts and some very high end parts

[@rhondakaradunis4894]

The guys who can’t find the alien key in the seat can’t find the G-spot also being able to adjust your seat for hang 5s toboggans or barspins or something I’m allways adjusting it especially for flatland tricks(I have 4 pegs and ride street/park /trails /freestyle and flatland

[@Fernandro]

Now that’s a bike shop

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Damn, we did miss that category lol

[@420sx3]

Wheels Tech Thursday

[@Bigrig_trmc]

I love trey jones but I hate that seat. It's more of a racer seat I think with that nose not good for crashing jumps and being impelled

[@steeki2518]

The same

[@sofialaschou7770]

Can I put a pivotal seat on a tripod post?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

They are not compatible with each other

[@robertlee8400]

Dude the best seat post ever made was the Revcore flagpole seat post , them things never bent & they stayed put , of corse you had to file off the gnarling before you installed it but it was way worth it , I can’t stand pivotal seat post , nope not me & if your wearing gear like you should you don’t have any problems with the seat clamp on bared seats cutting into you . Just junk pivotal that is .

[@Bigrig_trmc]

The stealth is better and makes more since. My odyssey tool 6mm isnt long enough to reach a pivotal bolt🤬🤬🤬 so now I have to keep up with 6mm but not really cuz I dnt think I'll have to ever tighten it or anything till I change the seat again lol
