Is it easy to change the battery?

[@boomerangfreak]

I wonder the same and even more so the battery life it has. I have a scwalhbe airmax pressure gauge and that battery dies waaaaaaaayyy to fast. Like I put in a new battery, use the gauge, put it away and the next time I wanna use it not even a month later it's already dead again. Stopped using it as well those button cell batteries don't come cheap.

The Topeak pressure gauge does update in real time, you just need to press the circle button :) your welcome!

Your right it does. Mine does and it's great.. Just over Inflate and adjust 👍🤘

[@willelliott5052]

Yeah, you beat me to that. I will also mention that my first one became so erratic that I tossed it. My second one gives an erratic reading maybe one out of five times. There must be a better gauge.

On the Topeak smart gauge d2 you can push a button so it shows real time pressure when you are using the bleed valve. I have one and love it.

[@SethsBikeHacks]

[@sebastianjenewein5599]

You mean just like the analog ones you can pick up for 3.99 at a gas station?

[@r0tax7]

Pretty sure its the "Tune" button, for anyone reading comments about this. I use it when I get to the top of a climb to drop to my preferred pressure for the descent. Accurate air pressures have made my riding experience much more consistent. I get the same feel each ride/run, unlike the finger-pressure-test-guess. And, going 'too low' has consequences where I ride.

[@ashevillescarborough]

The Topeak pressure gauge can update while bleeding air. Pressing the tune button puts it in a mode which constantly updates the display.

I've had the fabric cageless bottle 7 months and have had 0 issues with it.

[@johnkropp398]

The way you use a clug, low with both wheels on the ground, is great. I've had two bikes fall, though, mounting front wheel high. These were road bikes with narrow tires, which may be more susceptible to losing the grip as the tires slowly lose air.

[@sed74]

Actually the Topeak Pressure gauges does update in real time when you deflate the tire. You just need to press the "tune" button before deflating: the display starts to blink, and the reading is updated in real time.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Ronald Tartaglia A few months ago someone stole my bike, I had my helmet on it and they didn’t steal it, it was a $60 giro helmet. Weird that they didn’t, but not complaining.

[@Metal-Possum]

If I saw your Giro helmet readily available to steal, you'd probably come back to find I'd left another 3 of the same model beside it, or I'd give you my Bell Super 3 so you can stay just as miserable. I'm yet to own a helmet I actually like.

[@chrisalvarez4405]

Hey seth just wanted to say I just found your channel yesterday and I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos since then. I’m really stoked that I found it because I just got back into mountain biking after not riding since I was around 12. Just moved back home after being in the Marines so my 3 month son can grow up around his family, I’ll definitely be taking him out mountain biking when he’s older. I can’t believe I took so much time off.

[@rcaddict7638]

I love people who are honest about products they are given for free thanks Seth!

[@RiderUnknownUK]

The fabric cageless bottle is incredible, even after over a year of use. Doesn’t drop for anything.

[@Troumbadour]

As somebody who bought a Fabric water bottle last year, so far the durability has been well worth the price. I’ve been riding more and more difficult trails on my new hardtail in the last month and a half and it still holds up just fine. Granted the bottle itself isn’t huge so that can be a limiting factor, but otherwise it’s a total steal.

[@Moto_Ross.r7]

I love when the tube popped and the guys reaction 😂

[@peterspyer1124]

I got the mountain bike tool/bottle cage. It is really good value. It saved me from a long walk home when my derailleur met my spokes last weekend, and was extremely effective with every tool I used on it

[@PadrinoXL]

Hi Seth, thanks for this great vid. I have the topeak minitool without the bottle cage and I think you can loosen up the screws that hold it together for making it easier to flip the bits out. I remember you can do it with the included chaintool so you dont need any other tool. Sorry if its bad englisch, i'm from Germany. Keep up the good work!

Hey Seth, I have the Fidlock and wanted the One ⬆️ pump. I wasn’t sure the two would work together? I figured twisting off the bottle would hit the pump. Good to see this combo works. Great video 👍🏻

[@FreeUpTheWeed]

When do you need a 10mm Allen key, Seth? A crank arm _Ask me how I know_ My crank arm came loose one time, strangely. Turns out the one person riding with me *did* have a 10mm on them. Which we found out once we got back to the car. 🤦‍♂️

[@mtbcyclist]

The Smart Gauge does actually update in real time as you hit the bleed valve. You have to press top button to get it to work before you start the bleed process, and yes there is a tiny bit of a lag to it but its perfectly acceptable. I love it and have been using it for a few years now. I like it cause my old man eyes have trouble seeing that tiny numbers on the gauge of my pump and its more accurate. As always good video.

[@vincentvrsn3466]

Tip for the Topeak Mini 20: Cut out a small rectangular piece of electrical tape and put it around one allen key (the middle one), now you have a tab to pull out the key (and the others normally come along by friction)

[@tonyrobinson1623]

The Topeak does have a live pressure update setting for use while bleeding. Press the upper black button and the display will start to flash. When you bleed in this mode, the pressure will constantly update and you get an exact reading each time you let off on the bleed button. I used this feature today. I run plus tires, so the pressures are low and need to be accurate, and the Topeak is better than practically all floor pumps for this. I keep one and a good hand pump in my gear bag. That combo is far less bulky and more accurate than a floor pump

[@elielmaukonen8205]

I have fidlock and absolutely love it. Its low profile and functions well. No problems and definitely gets my recommendation.

[@RoryMag]

"If you helmet has this on it and someone else's doesn't, they'll steal someone else's.... ...and then they'll steal yours" More accurate description of that product

[@Durwood71]

It's generally true that for crimes of opportunity, thieves will go for the thing that is easiest to steal, and in this example, it is far easier and less conspicuous to casually walk by and grab an unsecured helmet than to draw attention to yourself by cutting a security strap.

[@dylan9875]

You can reuse any zip tie if you know how to

[@markc9524]

[@BORTMAN047]

Try the Fidlock Universal Base - works with both their 15oz & 20oz bottle.

[@takafumiarisawa70]

go to the hardware store and get like 2 meters of hose and a couple of U bolts (you use the hose to cover the U bolts so they don't scratch your stuff and also it prevents it from shifting around). Now you can attach a rifle if you wanted to.

[@fieryawesomeness]

The pressure gauge is great! I love mine. And if you press the 'tune' button the pressure DOES update in real time. The screen will flash and the pressure reading goes down when you let air out. I have to do a long road climb to get to my local trails so I like to run higher pressures when I leave the house and then take pressure out when I get to the trails.

[@ilgiampi]

I use Tubolito not as a spare tube but instead of the tubeless (after having been used tubeless for years): it works incredibly well. I can ride with a pressure at the back at 1.4 bar instead of 1.8/1.9 and the feeling is amazing. I absolutely suggest it.

I have an old-school Topeak Power 21 that's 20yrs old & JUST broke...the chain tool. (Lost the wire to hold chain in place - easily replaceable with a piece of wire hanger!) I found a whole replacement tool (minus the wire) for less than 15 bucks. One of my best purchases ever! (And all I really have to replace is the part that screws in & pushes the pin!)

[@takafumiarisawa70]

I use mineral wool (inner wall insulation) and self adhesive velcro (i trim them in pretty much the same shape as the adhesive gasket of that thingie in the vid) for wind covers. This will last a bunch and you can get mineral wool trimmings for free and 3M velcro for like two bucks, the velcro will stay there pretty much forever and the wool is virtually free to replace and on top of that it's hydrophobic and fireproof.
