What Bikes Are Everyday Riders Riding? | Daily Driver Bike Checks

[@VeloObscura]

I love the contrast between the first dude with his home-melted shift lever, dremel holes in the frame, and zip-ties holding his clutch on vs the second guy who has the most immaculate bike on the planet....

[@rolux4853]

Now we can have a wild guess who rides his bike more often..

[@benwatkinson8168]

He's actually one of my teachers husband and she saw me looking at a geo chart and told me about it and she's right that thing is freaking gorgeous

[@prinstonharmon2971]

Always love to see what other bikers are riding on and is anyone else wondering when we’re gonna get an update on the Grim Donut v2

[@pinkbike]

Thanks Prinston! And it’s in the works I hear…. haha

[@asafcohen3272]

"It's my happy place." Right on, Tracy! Ride on

[@viktorlenart1125]

I am pretty confident Tom made that trip from Vancouver all the way to New Zealand wearing those flip-flops

[@pinkbike]

Viktor, can confirm, kick back, relax - Tom

[@theotherphillhall]

Jandals bro. :-)

[@01ajeful]

Thanks Pinkbike team, was cool being part of this video!

So good to have ya Alex! - Tom

[@hoff482]

Totally agree with Tracy, my bike is my happy place! Great video.

[@itscrazycocotime4518]

Not a big santa cruz fan but that dudes nomad was on point, love the extra lengths he went to for the little custom points like the crank extractor cap, it's that dedication that really makes a bike special.

[@kevbuild]

Thanks mate i never thought I'd be a SC owner either but this thing is awesome 👍

Thanks Andres! - Tom

Ben’s enthusiasm is infectious and he’s just funny. Love it. How did he manage to do DD in Rotorua and not find any locally sourced Zerodes at the trail head!?!.

Still not a huge amount around, they’re still a bit out of reach for most average riders here.

What a great addition to the Pinkbike team Tom is. Such a likeable guy.

[@topspot4834]

These are my favorite videos on the channel ... Especially when it's ordinary riders, not the pros 👌🔥

[@thegrommechanic6265]

Can’t get enough of these. The green blue oil slick santa Cruz was epic! Hey pinkbike, if you however se this comment, i want you to know that we all saw the cheap caliper on the budget vs baller transmission’s episode ´s pre vid picture before the brake episode upload!

[@kingrat738]

First two bikes!? What a difference!! Student vs Lawyer!?

[@NDemanuele1]

Awesome to do this in NZ!! I wish you guys had some trail footage!!

[@kabel74]

From start to finish, the whole video radiate COOL VIBES 🙂

[@Djoblin]

Chur bro.... I reckon some of the best bike checks ever.... Must make it a regular

[@vdel7418]

Currently riding a 2021 Kona Honzo AL with the 11 speed deore. Love the thing

[@chris4536]

Kona has fun bikes dialled!

[@WeslarWaven]

The status is an awesome bike, that perticular one has seen alot of use.

[@adamb724]

You speak clearer and more concise than a northern Midwesterner who's been been drinking, and we're always drinking. * Understood you perfectly.

[@traildogisla]

Love daily riders!! Would love to turn at my local spot and find the Pinkbike team hanging out! ❤️ Send the team for a UK edition!

[@bigmikeshooter]

One of my favorite series. Bravo from Greece...

[@MrSatchelpack]

Ibis Mojo 3. It came with DT wheels, which I promptly upgrades to a 54T ratchet.

[@Aarongla55]

nothing beats toms videos

[@BigPaco213]

45 & 50psi with that last guy damn!!

[@camefluch]

For all Shimano mech user, if you suffer from a falling clutch lever, I recommand to service it/disassembled it and cleane it following the Shimano procedure. It fairly simple and with solve the problem.

[@rolux4853]

Or you just put a zip tie on it and never look back!

[@WilliamCronin]

hes a very good mechanic. but typical willy johhson. if he fixes it normally it will break in a day, bodge it and will last forever

[@KuroNoYuri]

Dude at 10:24 has his rotors installed the wrong way :)

[@elemon2004]

I was gonna say the same haha

[@BijanIzadi]

I love to see the resourcefulness and that the bikes actually look ridden. In America its hard to tell if anyone even rides their bikes!!

[@nickrosser7446]

So good with the kiwi bike checks! Fingers crossed @pinkbike can be at Xterra this year for some more bike checks

[@konstantinklettke6583]

I like how the disc of the commencal is mounted the wrong way around XD

[@fetB]

color of the first bike is perfection

[@pepe_lopez4099]

Isn't guy with commencal meta have mounted brake discs in opposite direction? I mean the arms

[@madtownangler]

Right now I'm riding my Surley Fatbike with studded tires because my other bike is in the shop after a car ran into it with me one it.

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

[@01ajeful]

It’s my favourite bike, handled anything I’ve thrown at it 😁

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

45 psi no spare tubes 🤣👀

AWSome people and sick bikes👊 South waikato ebikes represent 🎉

[@catha86]

Seeing this kind of videos from bikers.. I realize you have to upgrade and change part like every year. I´m looking forward to see how much my GT MTB can take before I have to start changing parts.

[@ashleytombs]

The 1st bike at 2:05 Tom asked what do you like about the bike I would’ve said that it survived the crash At least Owner okay Must’ve been a big crash if he can’t remember 40 minutes of his day

[@Crymeriver]

Dude I love my status 160 it’s the best

[@stringbeeen5405]

Tom I'm smack dab in the middle of Canada (ish) and I understood you clearly.

[@rosay559]

Get one man. I managed to grab a status 160 for 2400 2 weeks ago and I've been biking almost everyday because of it! It's such a great bike

[@letsgo_inc]

I have acquired the Status 160 in sage green for 2250 USD...it's sick

[@ethantang6282]

10:23 dude put the rotor the opposite way

[@IVANMTB]

Hi friend! nice video and thanks for sharing!! greetings😜 #ivan_mtb

[@jberger598]

Ok, i'm not a expert. How should brakerotors be mounted? I'm pretty sure that the front rotor on the commencal is wrongly mounted. Or does it matter?

[@hannes6114]

Is mounted wrong I think but it probably doesn't matter

[@Baureo]

AFAIK the "spokes" of the rotors are facing the wrong direction. They should point in the direction of rotation. This matter because that way the rotors spokes keep the ring between the pads. If you keep the outer ring from rotating and turn the hub forward, the spokes will try to spread the ring away from the hub and thereby stabilise it - especially when it is hot from braking. The way they are mounted, the spokes would tend to pull the ring towards the hub, which will lead to deformation of the ring.

[@Cr3ePiO]

Willy is one yolo dude.

[@russellparker4568]

30/35 psi for someone slim and 5,11 is absolutely ridiculous. If he likes it fair play

[@chris4536]

Thirty psi in my Minions I don't care about your opinions

[@Paganiproductions84]

That is way to much pressure for proper riding

When I ride on hardpack and gravel I pump it all up to 45 dude. Rolling resistance is everything when you also have to go up the mountain on your own.
