MTB Remixes! Is History Just Repeating Itself? | GMBN Tech Show 294

[@gmbntech]

In light of Doddy's news, we thought we'd ask the fantastic GMBN Tech community - which is your favourite of Doddy's videos? Let us know below 👇

[@perjensen1962]

All of them of course 😊

[@nickporter3531]

All the best for the future. I think everyone is going to miss the humour, knowledge and down to earth delivery and expertise that you share with the audience. You will be missed!

[@floydblandston108]

Looking forward to the movie he makes after being sucked through the corporate meat grinder.

[@ItsATrap614]

I love his ability to explain technical stuff in a way that it's easy to understand. I also love his enthusiasm for the sport as a whole, he always manages to get me stoked on all kinds of bikes and tech I normally wouldn't be that interested. He's an awesome ambassador for the sport and I'm sad to see him go, though I also applaud him for taking the step. Anyone should follow their dreams and their heart, always. Doddy, thanks for all the awesome content and knowledge you've given us. I think I can speak for everyone when I say We wish you all the best!!! Much love from the Netherlands, RideON!!

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

The final episode has surely got to be a Live stream!

[@HUKIT.]

No offense to the other presenters but Doddy IS the only reason I’m subbed to this channel as his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm are priceless.

[@mattlittlehales4913]

100%. His videos are what got me interested in GMBN over lockdown and a lot of the videos without him don't quite hit the spot 👎🏼

[@mclaren44]

same

[@davieb8534]

Well that’s me unsubscribing 😢

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

Same here

[@73010061]

sames, I'll still be watching gmbn, but no reason for the tech channel tbh. Excited to see what Doddy does next though

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Oh Doddy, so sad to see you go... you really made GMBN Tech, and it won't be the same without you. The very best and warmest wishes to you in the next chapter of your career!

[@reefbloke]

52 year old here that basically watches the channel for Doddy and has been following his work as a journalist for years and well before you tube. Don’t think I’ll be able to watch the channel without him even though many of the other presenters are great they just ain’t Doddy. All the best in your new career change though, they are lucky to have you.

[@stephencolton299]

Wherever you're going, I wish you the absolute best. They are lucky to have you.

[@MikeNolan_Councilman]

Thanks for all the content over the years. No one else in the industry has such obvious passion for mtb past and present. Hope your new endeavors are everything you expect.

[@petec811]

Gmbn won’t be the same without doddy no disrespect to Anna all the best doddy wherever your going 👍👍

[@francoisc.5486]

I think it's fair to say we saw that coming with the (great) addition of Anna this year. Thank you Doddy for all the great content made over those years on GMBNTech :)

[@dasanoneia4730]

Good Luck Doddy been with you since day one at the begging of my mountain bike career you taught me everything thanks so much really going to miss you😥

[@chrissmith6650]

I've been following Doddy since MBUK. I would like to say " thank you " for what you have done to help me along the road / trail. The advice has been invaluable. 🙂

[@webster169]

You will be missed Doddy, your enthusiasm in the videos and the way you can explain tech, so even I can understand, is second to none, good luck with all your endeavours

[@kisilvan]

Best of luck Doddy you will be missed. Your experience and love of the past is awesome. Thanks for some great vids over the years. I learnt alot from you.

[@andrewberwick8990]

Thanks for all the great videos, loved every single one of them. Learnt a whole lot from watching you here at GMBN tech, wish you all the best!

[@ironicstompin4880]

Gonna miss Dodster, really a great presenter with all his knowledge. 😢

[@perperssoneckerstrom1395]

Very sad to see Doddy leave, but best of luck to Doddy on his new adventures. You're gonna shred it ;)

[@brianrainey2739]

Thanks to Doddy for all the amazing trips down memory lane with old bikes and gear from the birth of the mtn bike industry. You have a perspective that many lack due to your wealth of knowledge and your ability to remember every detail of every part of this exciting dirt world. Good luck and please come back for guest appearances!

[@Rui_Caridade]

Doddy loved all the time spent watching all GMBN Tech videos learning a lot from you. Thanks for everything. Wishing all the best.

[@madhatter9631]

Doddy is who brought me to the chanel, and the rest of you helped keep me here. Doddy will be missed and no doubt be appreciated where he is going😂

[@s3rac]

Doddy! Your smile and laugh are contagious and your brain is a labyrinth of MTB history and experience. I will sincerely miss you. Thanks for everything you've done for the community and happy trails on your new adventure.

[@carravagio16]

Doddy, im a 45 yr old who grew up in the 90s riding Proflex, Full Cro-moly ridged steel bikes and saw first hand the revolution in Tech. I have appreciated your commitment to education and honoring the past of MTBing. Thank you for your time here in this little corner of the internet and best of luck in the future. Brian, North Carolina USA

[@Justin-Walsh]

Doddy is undoubtedly the best part of this entire outfit, and will be sorely missed. I wish him the very best in his new role, and look forward to learning where I can follow. And maybe buying a bike from a brand smart enough to recruit him.

[@cra_55]

Doddy is a treasure trove of knowledge and a very entertaining character. I hope Doddy won't leave KZbin entirely. He should start his own channel. Even if it's just him sitting at home, talking about bikes, and recorded on a smartphone, I'd watch it.

[@philballphotography]

Doddy will be missed so much. But I do want to encourage Martyn and Anna and the rest of the team as they do a great job too and will carry the torch. As far as Remixes go - I cant help but feel like the Berd string spokes have been tried before, I dont think the Tioga disc was the only one

[@oprv1981]

Doddy.. gona miss you the most... im sad that you leaving GMBN.. but at the same time happy for you too.. wishing you all the best where ever you go.... take good care.. and thanx for everything...c",?

[@Seppster58]

Awesome people get awesome opportunities. Your next employer has scored a winner. We will miss you Doddy for sure. You brought so much information and inspiration to this channel. Congrats on your new endeavour. And you are staying in the industry so we all win in the end. ❤

[@CodSlap]

Oh man! First Henry, and now Doddy. 😢 I know the feeling, though - I’ve been in that same situation myself too, and it doesn’t ever make leaving any easier. Thanks for all your expertise and the entertainment you’ve provided on the channel over the years, and I’m sure I’m not the only one in wishing you all the best in the future. 😢😊🎉 Whoever’s coming on board to take over for Doddy has some big, big shoes to fill.

[@bugboy152000]

#GMBNTech #GMBN #Dodstar1979 Thank you so much Doddy. You have inspired me for many years now. Given me the courage to work on my own bike, be an intelligent and conscientious consumer, and truly feel part of the MTB community. You are a true legend! Wish you well and will follow on the next journey. Cheers🎉

[@djogz]

Gmbn tech is doddy. Thanks for your service!

[@PrinceSoleil77]

You‘re gonna be missed, Doddy, by the viewers and pretty sure among the other presenters. Best of luck for your new job, I hope you‘ll show up once in a while as a guest on the GMBN channels! 😢👍🤝

[@BrentonChan]

Thanks for all the good times Doddy!! You're the prof I never had. Already imagining your guest visits back to the Tech set and the Shed. Fairfarren!

[@bartandhisbike4147]

So sad to see you go but couldn't be happier for your opportunities. can I just say one of the highlights of my bicycle life was having you present my bike on top modes. It will always go down in my memories as one of the greatest things that's ever happened to me. Thank you for all that you've done for the community.

[@TriggerSafari]

Never bothered to have an youtube account or subscribe (yes I know, bad) but with this bombshell to end the tech show: Doddy No0oooo...

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Thank you Doddy! I have really enjoyed the Tech channel and it's because of you and what you brought to it when it was born and how you raised it. Good luck in your next venture whatever it may be.

[@darrenwall5439]

Cheers Doddy thanks a million for all the cool information and fun 💚 Good luck with your new DJ life ha ha 😃

[@banana122049]

As someone who is tall and large the vivid is a wonderful option for me. I've been looking at coil shocks but there is no coil that can take my weight/riding style without jumping through a bunch of hoops to get a custom one. So a coil feeling air can might just be exactly what i would want for dh use.

[@fjodorgrigorow3851]

Thank you Doddy for the massive entertaining and mtb passion from you! Wishing you supercool next career step!

[@m4tt12]

Good luck with the new gig Doddy! Thanks for teaching me 90% of what i know about mountain bikes!

[@stevenbaker5564]

Best of luck Doddy thanks for all the awesome videos over the years.

[@blairrighton6270]

The bicycle has been deemed a 'mature product' for quite some time so any major redesign is a concept that had been pursued previously. You lot forgot to mention Suntours 'Beast' electronic front shifter that was released back in 1990, also I think Azonic released a direct mount front stem during the mid to late '90's which had 'zero' offset (coincidently I think that was also the model name too) and Cullinans run in Beaumont has gone down in MTB lore/history as one of the most dramatic instances of downhill mainly as you mentioned by jumping over 'that' bridge (shame that there wasn't any footage captured of the incident by the company that was tasked to shoot it) and I hope Dodzys farewell party involves guests like Mint Sauce and his friends, be very interested in his next endeavour, all the best bro

[@01FozzyS]

No Doddy! Sad to see you go after all these years watching you. Your knowledge is amazing. Plus we have the same taste in vintage bikes too! lol Good luck with wherever you're headed. Be safe! 😥

[@willlange9978]

Going to miss you Doddy. You’re always welcome in Bentonville for at least a free brew. I’m guessing you’re joining Starling, so wishing you the very best.

[@thewillyfamily]

I jumped the gun with my previous comment. Didn't get to the news that Doddy was leaving. Because of Doddy, I've learned a ton. The way that he shares his knowledge and passion is awesome! It's sad but it's also great that a lover of the sport and the community will help to shape bikes and the way we use them in future. All the best to you, Doddy, and hopefully we find out where you're off to so that we can follow you there. Thank you

[@ryantillotson1892]

Doddy! You’ve given me all the knowledge on how to take care of bikes since the beginning of my 5 year Mtb career! Thanks for all the videos. I always liked the behind the seems at the different brands

[@dylan-5287]

Doddy noooo!!!!! Things won't be the same without you here. I literally got into mtb summer 6 years ago right when you joined.

[@Magoo71]

I will really miss Doddy! Love his experience and his true love of bicycles! He's great with his descriptions of Mt Bikes and their accessories! I will really miss him and wish him the best of luck with his new endeavors...

[@djsonfire0001]

Doddy is putting Huffy back on the world map! R&d reasearch and design guy! Congrats Doddy!!👍🏼👍🏼 and congrats on your new kids book "doodles with Doddy".

[@zonoskar]

Oh no... There goes the rewind section, nobody knows more retro stuff than Doddy.

[@DatPenguin97]

Oh man. I got to subscribe to GMBN Tech thanks to Doddy but good luck at the new job!

[@Brownef1sh]

I have always enjoyed content from Doddy from MBUK, Mountain Bike Adventures and GMBN Tech. We're all going to miss you Doddy, please don't be a stranger to GMBN Tech. Stay true to your passion and good luck with whoever has snapped you up, I'm sure you'll be a big asset to them. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@zobilamouche420]

I hope Doddy its own KZbin channel to talk about bikes in the future, would be cool ! Best of luck and thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion 🤟

[@benwalker740]

Gutted, thanks for all the help by way of watching your videos. Good luck you will be well missed.

[@FirestormAA]

Truly gonna miss Doddy hell lots!!!!!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢

[@_xnk7257]

Thanks for all your work Doddy and sharing your passion for tech and retro bikes, really learned a lot from you over the years! Best of luck!

[@SubversionGarage]

I can’t believe GMBN is losing their best presenter 😢

[@Dahbienhwa]

Ker-crikey! Anna's new look has really got my pulse racing!

[@CS_1000]

Good luck Doddy, very much enjoyed your videos. Got back into mtbs recently after a long time out and been enjoying it. Used your videos recently to help with maintenance (e.g., brake bleeds for modern mtb discs) and as a person of a similar vintage I very much enjoyed your reflections on the 80s/90s bikes - made me nostalgic!

[@g.fortin3228]

Damn .. Enjoyed your videos Dodd and wish you luck. !!! You will be missed.

[@RayHarmon]

😮 can't wait to see what your next adventure is Doddy! Sad to see you leave the GMBN screen, thanks for all the information, stoke and sheer love of mountain biking over the years.

[@craigbest8644]

Good luck with your future endeavours Doody, thank you for all the MTB teachings over the years.

[@danmellian5017]

Cheers, Doddy! You thought me literary all I know about working on m y bike and built my baby with your tips and advice! I do all my work on my bikes and all of my friends. Happy trails, and I can't wait to see what amazing things you bring in the future.😭

[@DZig]

You know, before I heard the news that Doddy was leaving I was about to comment that the two pros are at it in this video. Martin and Doddy are by far the most entertaining and knowledgeable people on this channel. And that’s no slight to anyone else involved. Even the new guys on GMBN and EMBN are doing a great job. Sorry to see you go Doddy, but wish you the best.

[@ashlarnewman437]

Doddy’s videos have helped me become the sub-mediocre bike mechanic I am today 😂😂😂! In all seriousness, I got into MTB a few years ago and Doddy’s knowledge and how-to’s have been a godsend! Wishing he and his family all the best on their new adventure!

[@mob4801]

I remember my Dads bike with a height-rite with quick release on the seat post of his steel Gary Fisher hard tail in the 90's. my XC race bike was a hand-me-down Slingshot frame with gervin suspension stem; these are two bits of tech I don't think we will see again how about the old TRi-spoke wheels?

[@tim__sadler]

I have only just seen this as I was away (and saving the episodes for when I got back) - gutted but excited for you Doddy!

[@hoenborg]

Thank you for all Doddy and good luck with your future adventures

[@LjTactical]

Doddy, hopefully I will catch up with you at Malvern this week to say goodbye. I remember you with MBUK and again with GMBN you sir are legend in the tech scene.

[@danielcobb8886]

Really happy for you Doddy! A big thank you for all you've done - going back to MBUK mag days. Looking forward to finding out which company you'll be R&D'ing with.

[@asquare9316]

Pretty sure that it's pronounced "Rulez-man", two syllables, not three. I've got one on order, can't wait to get it and try it out. Good luck on your new endeavour, Dodster.

[@Michael-ri2eh]

Mad Respect Mr.Doddy You owe it all to GMBM 🎉🎉

[@satchmotionrc8202]

Best of luck to Doddy in all your future endeavors!! Hope it all goes amazing for ya! Whom ever does the tech, you got some biiig shoes to fill.

[@Anandlovesmtb]

Aww I'm gonna miss Doddy so much!!

[@leongjordan5272]

All the best and looking forward to seeing what's new for you Doddy! And keep up the great content GMBN, still love the rest of you!

[@yannhenriot2568]

Je vais être orphelin sans Doddy ! J’adore tellement tes présentations !!

[@kitKat-by6kk]

Hi doddy, started my own design buisness 7 years ago, when a tig mtb frame building project got way out of hand, and turned into a small buisness. I get along offering design and proto services beyond cycling products. You just cant tell where you end up if your willing to try new things. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, mucker. Right, ive got a cool cycling product to keep hammering at! good luck in your pursuits and new trails!

[@andyamos8594]

BOOM!! But good on you Doddy! You only live once so make the most of opportunities!! Shucks, can't miss next weeks episode now!!

[@tdunkerley1]

Really going to miss your insightful commentary and hijinks Doddy. It's been a great six years. Cheers to your new direction in life!

[@federicodamore7225]

Noooooo☹️how am I gonna keep up with bike technology without Doddy and his show!!?!!? Anyway wish you all the best 🤘😎 p.s.: omg...Parktool😃???

[@PhilipMitchell-r5e]

Good luck Doddy, we will all miss your deep knowledge, that you pass on with such passion.

[@newttella1043]

I've learnt so much from Doddy! I'll always follow Doddy on social media so can't wait for what's next.

[@cavitand9]

Doddy, sorry to see you go but wish you the best. I love your shows that bring us both knowledge and entertainment. Wish to see you again in Sea Otter.

[@tornagawn]

3 biggest ‘Blasts From The Past” for me are Purple anodising, bare ends and Bula!

[@Andythebrush]

Gonna miss Doddy , good luck with future projects

[@AndrewBoyden]

We'll all miss Doddy, me for the excellent advise, my daughter for the excitement of having her bike featured on Top Mods and the wife for her internet 'wierd' crush! Good luck with everything in the future Doddy!

[@martinhagen2913]

You will be missed Doddy, but im happy you found something youre even more passionate about!

[@RayHarmon]

I would go for one of those short stems from Rulezman. My bike is very slack and I feel it would help for a better uphill position as well as improve handling downhill

[@markpeterson8978]

I am very sorry to see Doddy go but I know he will still be in our lives, just in a different way. I know the future is bright and I wish you the best Sir. Cheers Sir!

[@cjtr83]

Well, isn't this sch1tt 😢 There's a few presenters here i like, But Doddy you ARE GMBN Tech and as much as we all wish you well of course there's gonna be a lot of people that are going to miss you. Thank you for all your help, entertainment, education and inspiration over the years. You are a huge part of why I'm even interested in cycling again. All the best for your new adventure in life. You're a class act 👏🏻 Ross

[@nigelrandtoul8646]

Doddy is the person you want sitting next to you on a long haul flight, talking mtb tech would make the hours fly by, no pun intended😅

[@dadbod4life]

I started riding in the 90s. My bikes show it. Anodized parts are a must for me.

[@randomtreaz7252]

Learned a lot from this man, and always enjoyed the vids!! Rock on!!

[@alexharris2313]

Gutted! Had no idea when I spoke to Doddy briefly at The Malverns that this happening. Sad news! But wishing him all the best for the future

[@perjensen1962]

Best of luck Doddy, thank you for everything ❤

[@marekj.]

Oh, Martin just loves when Doddy ´s telling numbers 😁

[@iggalan]

We will miss you Doddy 😢, good luck on your new endeavors! 🙂

[@BeerMatt96]

Good luck with the next chapter, Doddy!

[@bigbird2451]

The obvious guesses would be Nuke Proof or Santa Cruz. I'd like to see him going smaller and made of steel. Like Linosky and REEB. That would be sweet.

[@vspecnurr34]

Abs Brakes, 90's design with a cam roller in front of the pads 👌

[@Busfullofclowns]

Best wishes Doddy in your new career!

[@SebDJ]

That's sad to hear, Doddy's wealth of knowledge about bikes and the industry has been great to watch! Top man!

[@rasmusvedel]

Not a mountainbike but: The BMC Trackmachine TRC01 is the most wonderful lugged frame ever to me!
