Been using both of those Topeak Pressure gauges and Multi-tools for a few months. I can vouch for the quality of them. Well worth the money.

[@robertwilke1208]

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!

[@russc5269]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Jack1dg]

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

[@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.

[@awildtomappeared5925]

With the multi tool you should be able to adjust how hard it is to move tools by loosening the nuts that the tools are secured with

[@theslightlyhillyrider969]

aWildTomAppeared just to add, this is what the small hex key on the chain tool is for

[@gedoens890]

The smart Gauge does update real time pressure measurement when releasing air if you push the "tune" button while holding it on to your valve

[@RiderUnknownUK]

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

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.

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.

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!)

Cool trick: you don't need a chain tool to snap in the master link. Just hold the rear brake and torque the crank arm. The chain will engage and pull the master link into place.

[@conorbker]

rip berm creek and the first drama drop, you will be remembered

[@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

[@rlalchungnungaralte7811]

6:43 good ol seth lmao🤣

[@imnotsharingmyrealnameonth5601]

nice dicc

[@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.

[@abrahamdiopvlogs]

*Gets up from intense crash* "Yeah Yeah is my water bottle okay!?"

[@marcusbeyer8481]

the hiplock is what I would consider a "café lock" great for locking up at a busy café while you run inside, lightweight for the roadies, but not secure enough for extended storage. Also great for locking your snowboard while you grab a drink

[@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.

+1 on the Topeak digital gauge. My Fabric water bottle has held great for over a year including runs down Greens Lick and Kitsuma. It's design just doesn't work well for quick swigs while riding. Too hard to remount without looking. For GoPro mic noise their "Windslayer" works AMAZINGLY well. Doesn't fit for gimbal users but everyone else I highly recommend.

[@simonshaw5119]

Great vid; the Hiplocks are used often here in the Uk, they’re to secure you’re bike whilst it’s still in view of you I.e at a coffee shop (outside), or a burger truck, or checking out some trail you can’t take your bike down, but can still see the bike in view. Little piece of mind I....

[@nielstielemans152]

[@LOVE-62]

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 👍🏻

[@Toastybear1]

The hiplok is designed for cafe stops, shop stops, and is basically to stop opportunistic theft- good for roadies

[@PierrePotonnier]

toasty bear even on my old beater bike i would not use that. i could use a lock and some electrical wire and get better theft protection!

[@CanIHasThisName]

The point of the hiplock is low weight, compact dimensions and ease of use. It's literally meant for nothing more than preventing a random person walking away with your bike while you're inside a gas station getting supplies or taking a dump. When you need a lock this compact, it doesn't really matter how it's constructed, it's theft protection will be pretty much the same. For a regular MTB rider it may not sound like a great idea, but for the roadie and gravel crowd who do whole-day rides without a backpack, it's precisely the thing they want and need. Personally been using a couple of locks like this myself for this very purpose. For commuting, I have an actual security lock, but it's too heavy and bulky for my gravel rides.

[@vanabondmoto]

Instead of reusable zip ties, I use Velcro cable ties to secure cables and what not. Find them at the hardware store. The kind that has a hole on one end to interlock VERY securely

[@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.
