How NOT to break a bicycle chain! - Upgrading the SE Bikes Monster Quad

[@shawnanderson5283]

You two are the best! This is my favorite show. I ride SE from Tulsa

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for saying that! I have two SE bikes myself! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

[@jellis7042]

Out of all the bike channels I watch, this channel has to be the best one. It's fun watching you two taking the long way around with minimal research. Thanks for another fun video!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Wow, thanks! Appreciate you saying that! Yeah, I think it would help if I did more research but it's been fun to see if things work out or not! Thanks for watching and for leaving that comment!

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Great video as always. One note for anyone reading.. most BMX bikes stock chains don't come with a master link. You can break the chain anywhere convenient. A master link on a road bike is completely different, where you can snap it in and unsnap it to get the chain off and on. BMX is never that easy! Cheers!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for the info! As always, you are just a wealth of BMX knowledge! For any of you that watch our channel, go check out @BCbikes on the videos he has. The guy is super knowledgeable! Thanks man!

[@ashpunting]

Failing with Burnie is the title of this video but they can always order so extra links but I love these guys that's why we keep coming back for more from Burnies garage ❤️ 👍🏾

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks Rory! Much appreciated!

[@Ch0medrag0n]

your viewers are called stalkers….we love you and as always just so much fun listening to you to sort out how things go together

[@cruisinginthe808]

Haha, stalkers??? You guys are much nicer than that! Thanks for the nice comment though!

[@motokazi]

WOW!! thanks so much for the shout-out bro, you sure made my day 🥳... and its all good for Bernie forgetting my name haha 😅seriously you guys are the best.. Keep those videos coming cuz we just can't have enough of them 👍👍

[@cruisinginthe808]

He does apologize for that! But we really appreciate you watching our vids and leaving those nice comments for us! Thanks for the support!

[@jessarellanes6648]

That’s one thing I never thought about. 😮 the bike shop should have extra shorts from bmx builds.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yeah, that's a great idea! Thanks for watching and for the tip!

[@rferrari44]

Looking good!! Ran into the same issue with my quad and the shadow conspiracy. I ended up buying 2 chains and there was more than enough left over to put on my neighbors 20" haro.

[@cruisinginthe808]

I am gonna have to do the same! Thanks for sharing that info on what you had to do with your quad. Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!

[@rastagideon8236]

Helpful cleaning tip: I use WD-40 wiped lightly on my spokes to prevent breaking because of air/salt, I stay Oahu. I used to break a lot of spokes. Really cool to find out your professions, Raspect Bradaz.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Mahalo for that tip! Yeah, we gotta take care of the bikes 'cause of all this salt! Thanks for watching and for sharing that tip! 🤙🏻

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Tri-Flow in the nipple also helps so they don't get seized up!

[@OGUncle_Lino_1972]

Thanks guys for shout out! 👊😃

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thank YOU for always watching our stuff! Much appreciated man!

[@robertbonner7469]

Great upgrades and video! If you buy the Odyssey 1/2 link chain it will be long enough.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for sharing that tip! I contacted Shadow Conspiracy and they have no solution to my problem but are thinking about coming out with a longer chain for the bigger gear bikes. I will look into the Odyssey so thank you for that!

[@robertbonner7469]

You’re welcome. As for the Brooks saddles , the B17 is more comfortable than the C17 , once it’s broken in . The C17 will feel the same years down the road as it did on day one- not that comfy to me.

[@mariozermeno2649]

Oh the struggle is real lol those pedals are gnarly but cool 😎

[@neilt6477]

I have a brooks C17 on my Gary Turner 26 and it really is super comfy 🙂

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thanks for sharing! That's good to know for those of us without that seat. Appreciate you watching the video and taking the time to share that comment! We can all learn from one another here!

[@nitos2]

Love what you guys are doing

[@cruisinginthe808]

Thank you so much! Appreciate you leaving that comment and watching our videos!

[@chrisparker7815]

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when Bernie said "Action"! Would have spit it everywhere..

[@cruisinginthe808]

Haha! We do have some fun when we get together! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@vikthor03]

Yea once the brooks seat is broken in it’s comfortable! And you could change the rivets on it aswell

[@cruisinginthe808]

Interesting! I think Bernie is really going to get one so we can test it out ourselves! Thanks for watching and for sharing that info!

[@icarusdb58]

I put an origin 8 freewheel directly on the freehub

[@techjunkie68smusicandtech56]

I can so relate to this, haha I have done damage to my teeth and hands working on my bikes, I don't mind, it is part of the experience, right!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yep it is! No pain, no gain!! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@Ch0medrag0n]

swapping wheels on the quad is expensive with the disk break and cassette needs. I was looking at doing purple for the chrome on my quad and after seeing the profile pricing for just the rear hub….it would be cheaper for my idea to just buy and arctic monster quad and swap parts and then sell off the other bike. Though just replacing the actual rims and keeping the hub silver might be a better route…just a thought.

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yeah, the hubs would be very expensive for sure. Part of me is like, just bite the bullet and pay for it because this is my favorite bike to ride so why not spend the money on it? But the other side of me is like, hold on, that's a ton of change just for rims! Decisions, decisions! Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts on this. Much appreciated!

[@Iseekoutthetrails]

Use A Cheater Bar To Loosen The Pedal Bolts. Use A Water Repellant On The Leather Seat.

[@caitlynkarutz1237]

Love it..

[@johncarlson2258]

I know they're pricy, but have you given any thought to carbon fiber rims? After all, it's a Quadangle man. What better than unique rims on a unique bike? Are all those exotic sounding birds in the background just the natural wildlife sounds? I wake up to either robins or garbage trucks. Did you use grease when you installed those sweet pedals or did you accidently use Lock Tight?🥴 Nice video guys. You never fail to entertain.

[@eseEVIL408]

It’s probably too late but next time you need or are in the market for a chain check out kmc chains.

[@somesaiyan7490]

Y?

[@cruisinginthe808]

I have a white KMC on my Big Ripper! Thanks for watching and for the tip!

[@seandan68]

Youe chain is meant for 25/12 gearing. Change your gearing or buy another chain. Profile hubs come in 12t

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yeah, we found that out the hard way. I am looking at some Profile hubs for a new wheelset soon. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@shawnanderson5283]

Someone let me know when a cool ride get together comes up

[@cruisinginthe808]

Where do you live?

[@jaimecorrales1953]

Can someone tell me what type of chain my stock ARTIC white monster quad has in trying to get a new one because it rusted but I don’t know what to get or how to even get one

[@cruisinginthe808]

The Monster Quad, according to the SE Bikes website, came with a KMC S1 chain. If you search that up on Google, you'll be sure to find one for sale someplace. I've used Planet BMX, BMX Guru, or even just Amazon it self. This is a silver one off of Amazon. amzn.to/44ExUi1

[@pan8a]

Brooks and Selle Anotomica have Rubber seats

[@cruisinginthe808]

Mahalo for that tip! We have to check those out and see what the hype is all about. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@johncarlson2258]

It seems like you guys run Deez Nuts on just about all your bikes. With them being aluminum, have you experienced any issues with the threads inside the nuts stripping out from torquing them down? Graphite rims are on my bucket list (if I win the lottery), and if I can afford them, I can afford some sort of security nutz. Bougie Bike! Just one viewer's opinion but with that black chainring on your cranks, just the addition of blue chainring nuts would be a nice color accent. I'm gonna find the sleekest, most stylish racing seat I can possibly find and then get butt implants to match the seat so that I'm both stylish AND comphy whilst I'm-a-ridin'!

[@cruisinginthe808]

😂 Implants??? Haha! We have never had an issue with the Deez Nutz ever being stripped or anything. They are pretty solid! Win that lottery so you can make those upgrades happen! Thanks for sharing that and for watching! 🤙🏻

[@icarusdb58]

the chrome looks better

[@DavidRodriguez-eh8yd]

Your rear cassette is 20T

[@cruisinginthe808]

You are absolutely correct David! Thanks for correcting me on that. I don't know how I got 19t! That's even worse for my chain situation! Thanks for watching and for the correct info!

[@jordankeller1017]

Homework Guys 😁

[@cruisinginthe808]

Yep, I don't learn my lesson! Haha! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Sounds like a kennel…let those dogs out😂 or it’s the neighbors🤔

[@cruisinginthe808]

Bernie has two dogs that will bark at anything walking by! Just a part of filming in Bernie's Garage!
