@@ThexImperfectionist Hiking gaiters are not really for keeping rain out of the top of your shoes but to protect your lower leg and boots/shoes from walking in wet grass, snow, mud, walking through shallow water courses, and getting debris into your boots/shoes etc. They usually come up to just under the knee and of course wraps around your boots/shoes. If you ever go hiking in wet terrain they are almost life savers as they will keep your lower legs and feet dry.

[@mattlewandowski73]

Technically spats, and very fashionable in the Victorian era :) They are easy to make with even basic sewing skills, and have patterns available all over the web (presumably how the New York inventor got their pattern.) To be fair, This is the only one I have seen with bra hooks to catch the bottom of the shoe lace. I was contemplating making a set of similar gaiters (maybe mid calf length) so I could secure the bottom of my pants legs when I get a new bike, as I usually wear long pants on trails due to the frequency of which I encounter thorny brush encroaching on the trails, and dislike sucking pants legs into the chain ring.

Apple Airtags work extremely well in the cities! I know lots and lots of people who have gotten their bikes back because they had an airtag attached to it. One guy in Sweden even had his bike stolen and transported to south of Poland.... He got it back because they could track it through apple devices nearby and call the polish cops. That is badass!

[@doktormerlin]

@@sathyaki the thief has to know that there's an airtag inside first. There are attachments that go inside your ebike motor, not a lot of thieves search for them. I personally put two airtags in my bike, one in the motor and one in the rear rim, so if a thief finds one of them he hopefully stops searching.

[@sathyaki]

@@doktormerlin cool,let's hope that thieves won't get smarter 🙂

[@AlexanderMason1]

The problem with airtags is that they rarely work for theft recovery since the thief will be notified by apple that he is being tracked via airtag, if he has an iPhone/apple device on him. The reason is because thieves were using and still use airtags to track down potential victims to their houses, and rob them there. Airtags only work for lost objects, and i don’t see anyone losing their bicycle. I guess it could work if the thief doesn’t use an iPhone, or somehow doesn’t notice the loud notification you get if you are being tracked using an airtag.

RE: kids' seat. My grandpa made something similar for his road bike and back in the day i have been riding with him like that for many years. As he got older and i got bigger he changed gearing to make it easier to pedal, but other than that nothing else needed to be changed. As a kid i really liked it because it was comfortable and i had a great view around. Definitely beats riding on the little cargo rack above rear wheel, not to mention much safer than sitting on the handlebars to ride (had to do that once, ended up bouncing off and faceplanting on the ground after hitting a pothole. Not fun.) And since the whole thing was held on with just two bolts it was easy to remove for going to the grocery store or whatnot where no kids were riding. Oh and btw, no idea why the kit in the video had those small handle bars. Holding on to what was already on the bike worked great for us.

The battery powered pump is my go to gift to my mountain biking buddies. It has a much better pressure gage than a similarly priced floor pump, you dial in your pressure and let it pump while you gear up, and it takes a fraction of the car space and isn't always getting hooked on everything around it.

Jordan's Bike Hacks (for the Shotgun seat): if your top tube is tapered from the head tube to the seat tube like most modern bikes, I have found that no matter how tight I put the seat on it will eventually start sliding back. So took an old tube and cut it into a foot long section, I then wrap it around my top tube right behind the seat, and keep it in place with a Voile strap. This has kept it solidly in place even on steep climbs. Then pack your back/waist pack full of as many snacks as you can fit, because nothing ruins a ride like a hangry toddler. Also, teach your toddler cool mountain biking slang (gnar, chunk, roost, etc) and teach them to warn hikers that you're coming up behind them. The slang is just fun, and hikers are much more likely to give you a smile instead of an annoyed look when your toddler says "coming up on your left".

@@jtfa28 they do! Or get jammed and you end up accidentally removing the core and emptying your tire! The presta valve was made for road wheels that have to be narrow and aerodynamic.

My experience with schrader valves is that are harder to put air faster (unless you take out the core), other than that they are eternal and easier to clean.

@@ManuelMartinez09I always removed the core from the presta valves for inflating tubeless tires for the first time too so, to me, presta had zero advantages.

[@porterfielddynamics]

As someone who recently invested in a similar (yet not exactly the same model of) electric bike pump I really like it, especially for people in the city or who park their bike outside. It even works on motorcycles and scooters, and they work well. Car tires might be a little big for best results and could potentially burn out the motor, but honestly being able to leave it for like a minute and a half per tire and have it auto shut off pretty much makes up for the slightly longer inflation time compared to a floor pump. Plus it may be kind of a moot point considering the bike specific application, but for someone with specific strength issues that prevent them from using a floor pump they are fairly easy to use. A final thought comes from one of your later videos Seth, where you use this pump for your shocks. That’s what I sort of see this as, a replacement to one of those handheld portable pumps that you either use for your shocks, or you carry with you for your rides in case of emergency. It fills that role really well and saves you from a lot of the awkward pain that comes from using a manual pump that size.

[@hubdeep9452]

I quite like the Schrader valve idea. I've converted plenty of retro 26" rims to tubeless without any problems but they were always double wall and using 26" tubeless tyres.

[@WilsonV4FCV]

Bad quality control, The home brand front wheel on the polygon I own has the left and right side spokes on the wrong sides making it dished 20mm to the right.

Child seats: top tube seats are pretty common in China when I was a child. Obviously those are mounted on commuter bikes. It's a lot less scarier than sitting on the luggage rack in the back. Love it how it's almost a novelty in the US.

[@ffturbo]

In europe most people fill up their tyres at gas stations as air is free. So that Shraeder valve is pretty handy tbh

[@ifffopfmn]

stemp captain looks like it should go on some fancy rivendell frame

[@xWood4000]

The problem with the airtag on the bike is that the thief will get a notification that there's an airtag if they have an iPhone, it's an anti stalking measure

[@RealMTBAddict]

Lol why didn't he mention that? They make GPS trackers for bikes.

[@ngregoirenc]

Likely they just ditch the bike and you can go recover it. Or waste a bunch of time trying to remove the tag. I’d use it in the city if I didn’t keep my bike in my apartment.

About the saddle cover: Last summer I did an 11 day bikepacking trip, no padded shorts, and nearly zero saddle pain. Spending some time and money to get what fits you (in my case a Brooks Cambium C17) is totally worth it

[@gary7vn]

Call me when they make a rocket launcher.

[@MSUTri]

Two things: 1. Cool shot of Looking Glass Rock! 2. I want to get the Stem Captain to troll my friends who joke about my bike being a motorhome. Maybe I'll rename it the Nordic Tug? It weighs 56+ lb! It's a Surly ECR frame, Rohloff hub, Brooks B17 and Thudbuster, Moloko bars, full fenders and bags, 4 water bottles, a flask, etc., etc.

I have a Kids Ride Shotgun and it's amazing! I give my little boy (3 year old) a ride to nursery in the morning with it and then I ride a trail on my own on the way back! I want a Stem CAPtain!!!!

[@Livinthelife5116]

"You could set the pump, then just walk away" hmmmm, that never ended badly for you

[@Ultimaniacx4]

Set the pressure, not the pump.

[@unrealcyberfly]

For the ghetto conversion stretch an inner tube around the rim and cut it open, now install the tire like normal. The inner tube builds up the rim (just like a bunch of tape) and creates a perfect seal once the tire is installed. I used a 16 inch inner tube on a 20 inch BMX rim to convert to tubeless, it worked like a charm.

[@berdspokes]

Hey Seth! We would love to send you something more interesting to test and review :) Please reach out!

[@jamescampbell4264]

OOOOO yes please! Make this happen

[@atole8949]

Stem Captain clock is the best. I have been using it for 3 years already on my Rocky Mountain Altitude and everyone just loves it.

[@bam-bo]

lol seth going easy on these products cuz companies not sending products to him anymore

[@Nagria2112]

I PERSONALLY love the "car plug valve" you know why? so i can pump my bike up at any gas station and dont need to pump with my own strengh

[@AlbinRansjo]

First

[@mr.stombrat4140]

Umm okay?

[@RealMTBAddict]

OH WOW I HOPE YOUR LIFE IS COMPLETE. CONGRATS SUCH A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT LYING IN BED WAITING.

[@ATLaracheClub]

I'm running tubeless for months now, with a car valve 😁 costs 0.5$ and works great!

[@ZeroP0int]

Yes, review the saddle cover! Appreciate that you think of your viewers, not assuming we don't want to see it, and asking the question.

[@bryandhispup]

7:39 Gators. You can buy these non-bike specific. They're used in construction, skiing, Snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, mud riding....

[@Desert_chunk_mtbr]

I used a schrader tubeless valve on my daughters 21 rockhopper. Worked great!

[@harleycashinfo388]

🤣I was not expecting Seth to get on the Childs seat

[@Steady-Eddy]

Seth! The kids ride shotgun is amazing! I used it for both my boys and it honestly made me so extremely happy being able to take them out riding with me. The real issue was that because the handle bars are made from aluminium, it was easy to over tighten the screws and strip the thread. Please save this for when your daughter is big enough to hold on. ** I don’t work for this company, nor am I sponsored by them **

[@dayhikingforoldies9792]

My dad had a kids crossbar-seat on his bike in the 1970’s! It was a sit-up-and-beg 1/2 tonne behemoth, with metal brake rods (cables were for posh bikes). It wasn’t much fun being forcibly ridden to Sunday church…. 🇬🇧

[@mrupholsteryman]

When I was worried about tan lines and still needing to be home before dark while staying away from home while on my BMX bike... I wrapped my wrist watch around my frame pad. (I used to race) Liked having the pads even off the track. I WISH I would have thought of the stem captain! Good idea!

[@pavditrai7334]

The shotgun seat is actually in my local bike shop crankys bike shop in aldergrove bc.

[@damacknificent151]

The air pump is useful for my dual sport bike. Lower tire pressure a few psi when I hit trails then when I come back to the roads inflate back to regular psi. I've had a smaller inflator for year's. Very useful.

[@mattlewandowski73]

Yes... Yes those bandit straps will wear out... The rougher the surface, the faster. It appears to just be an elastic strap... Easy to sew a replacement, or for those without crafting skills, the motorcycle industry has straps with clips at both ends (and usually some form of motorcycle culture related bling over the clips). When the bandit straps wear out, you can pick up a set of those at most any motorcycle shop, especially if they are focused on v-twin cruisers (such as Harley). Last time I got a pair, they where about $10 a pair. They are intended to keep your pants leg down when you have your feet out in the wind on a motorcycle, but SHOULD work fine as a replacement strap on the Bandits as well.

[@GlitterPoolParty]

I love my compact chair and bonus! The strap extends to a length that allows me to strap it around my waist so i can carry it easily and hands free thru a festival and set up for first class seating wherever I need it. (I probably would not recommend carrying it fanny pack style on your bike though.)
