Visiting Cycling’s Largest Tool Company | Park Tool

Since the very beginning of my channel, Park Tool and I have been very friendly with one another. They helped set up my shop, and from time to time I run into these guys at trade shows. On my way home from the West coast, it seemed like a good opportunity to pay Park Tool a visit to joke around for a few days, collaborate on some videos, and ride some trails in Duluth.
For the sake of transparency this was not technically a sponsored video, but you could consider it as such since they paid my way to Minnesota. I was just stoked to meet everyone there and get in some good riding.

Any CEO that can ride the Giraffe is a pretty cool one in my book!

[@taffycymroukmtb9073]

you will have Get One Brian you would look cool on one buddy lol ;0)

[@robbchastain3036]

And he allows three-wheeler racing on the shop floor, very cool.

[@sraki]

Without helmet on :D!!

[@HoloScope]

I freaking love CEOs that actually have a grasp on their own industry. Too many CEOs these days are purely businessmen

[@parktool]

Thanks for swinging by Seth! Come back any time for more cracks at the Giraffe:-) Looking forward to your take on the Duluth trails, and also looking forward to posting Park Tool's vids, stay tuned!

[@jaceowen2428]

[@Eric-xc3hh]

That taco holder is so stupid

[@SuperSpeederCarl]

Park tools are the best and only tools in my shop

[@askbeforeplaying2983]

Oh, come on, I really wanted a taco holder, PLEASE RELEASE IT

[@isaactheisaac]

Have you guys made a pancake flipper(A spatula lol)? If not, you totally should.

[@newttella1043]

You know you've made it when Park Tool makes a new tool in your honor.

[@danpoo7386]

I can't tell if that taco holder is a joke, it's brilliant 😂😂

[@michaelstringer7066]

Its deffinetly not

[@coophazz1234]

It is 100% not

[@MakeCriminalsIllegalAgain]

Not a joke. They made a pizza cutter also. Still looking for one!!

[@henrybattle3932]

Brisdad53 Haha still no idea!!!!

[@antigonmkd7245]

Who needs taco when you have ajvar

[@jaridkeen123]

Saw this video and orders the Tire Leavers and Chain Lube. I need to replace my Bike Tries and Some lube will do good on my chain.

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

It's so cool seeing you expand from humble beginnings in Florida to now. Love your channel

[@pauldanielwilliams5136]

This guy inspired me so Mutch to lean how to ride

[@drivebay6479]

he had come this far 4 years ago, look at our man now!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Loved seeing a behind the scenes look at Park Tool!

[@michaelfabian2401]

Come on now, we're all waiting for a Worldwide Cyclery behind the scenes with SOMEONE.... Come on boys!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

2:00 Oh my god! I never thought of using an air compressor to remove grips! That's genius!

[@user-gt3rv8iq9t]

mind blown

[@knasicbyer9592]

fr? everyone knows that trick lol

[@AndrewJMatthews]

A friend of mine asked me to bring a bike to a trade show for some demonstrations. I thought my commute bike was in pretty good working order till I handed it over to Calvin. Within seconds he found stuff wrong with it and was thrilled to show everyone. Happy to say Calvin has worked on my commute whip!

[@indorider]

I was trained by Calvin at Barnett's back in the early 90's and had met him years before when he was a shop mechanic in Austin. He's a great guy who made classes fun!

[@andrewtataj497]

Park Tool is awesome. Totally overhauled my hard tail this weekend, and I've got their tools and videos to thank for it. Sure, the cost of tools isn't fun, but learning to do it myself was, and saving on the repair costs isn't something to sneeze at in the long run. Cheers all around

[@joel3683]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@FDB77]

the ending is always the best part! 😜

[@arionhylander9519]

ya!

[@squashonly]

I don't mind the beginning, the middle part and everything in between neither

[@The_RC_Dude]

I've known of Park Tool for a long while now, but this video really shows the nice, wholesome people behind the company!

[@cedricspies7127]

Your Videos got me into Mountainbiking and since then im riding all the time. Great Video again keep it up.

[@schneefoen]

Leading figures like you and Park Tool's Pros made it possible for me to maintain my bike better and better. Thank you very much for your great jobs-and the great Park Tool tools as well.

[@TheStabbyCyclist]

Loved seeing inside Park Tool. You're spot on about them being an authority in bike repair. They also seem like a really awesome bunch of people.

[@ethanboxer-macomber1913]

Love both channels- awesome collaboration- The taco holder is a great bit of kit!

[@alexolesky]

The jazzy background music bring back memories for the good ol’ days of the ye old Seth’s bike hacks video

[@brien1254]

Awesome seeing a local business on your channel!

[@AndrewTSq]

Ive bought park tools a few times, and they have worked great. never thought it was this laid back at the factory, feels nice to have supported them now :) great video.

[@daanprins6730]

I've got one of their work stands. It wasn't cheap. But I'm still glad I bought it. Makes working on my bike super easy !

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Park's stuff isn't the cheapest, but it's quality, well-designed and will last a LONG time.

[@BTTLobo]

Wow. Fantastic ✌️

[@lakemartin1664]

I live in Minnesota and I absolutely love this. Also can’t wait for the Duluth ride since I have done a mountain bike race there.😎

[@newbeginnings8566]

Park Tools are great and their outlook on biking and their customers makes me want to come back again...

[@georgeulbrandt]

Hi Seth i really like your videos and I hope you keep them up, especially your bmx series, I loved that series

[@tamserenity]

I did not know this is in Minnesota!! That's home for me!!!

[@huntstyle]

Loved this! Especially the taco holder. I just ate a couple tacos myself! Everyone at Park Tool seems really cool, and there's no doubt, they are the most high quality bike tools out there!

[@fumeokid]

I just saw this.. what a great video! I was working on my Bike and ended up watching the whole thing! Thanks for the great content and the break! :)

[@Kot1026]

8:31 Oh, that moment everybody realized Seth is gonna jump out of there

[@brick31312]

Duluth is my favorite place to ride! Can’t wait to hear what you think!

[@XboxDoode]

Mission Creek is my fav🙂

[@reesepinney9820]

Looks like Seth hit piedmont, can't wait for that video!!!

[@bradenm8030]

Awesome to know you visited a nearby area! Hope you enjoyed what you could for trails up in Duluth, can't wait to here about it!

[@randomrcprojects3754]

I love watching park tool videos they helped me with my derailleur adjustment

[@czspeed9209]

What a quality channel!!!

[@Claire-yv7lu]

I love your vids Seth, I'm getting a nicer bike soon and I'm so siked up, you got me into the sport

[@xnorcal831x]

I have been watching their channel for long time. Super great at helping fixxing problems

[@maxim54321]

Got a growing collection of park tools in my tool box. Their wire/cable cutters are one of my favourites

[@jadenharrison9420]

Awesome video I love Park Tool

[@reeennneee]

i died when calvin made the grip fly off the handlebar😂😂😁

[@yongling9825]

That was Truman.

[@reeennneee]

@@yongling9825 🤨🤔

[@yongling9825]

Truman has a section of fair skin at the spot where he wears his watch.

[@michaelbyrd5573]

Park has been around.... Forever! They continue to make tools right here in the USA. I'll gladly pay to support my fellow Americans. Their KZbin videos are the best. Awesome you got a chance to hang. Great work Seth

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

All you guys are flat out crazy! Love it!

[@jacknoname1013]

Best mountain biking channel

[@notsponsored103]

Hahaha, really enjoyed this one Seth!

[@tyjackson1850]

Seth!!! I'm waiting on some new tires and upgrades in the mail! Thanks for keeping me sane since I can't ride!

[@nolanorff8259]

I love the giraffe it's one of my favorites to ride. Up here in Maine we have a two programs to teach kids 8-18 to ride all types of unicycles.

[@mountainbikeben4815]

That must be the funniest job to work there 😂😂

[@onnoe4374]

[@onnoe4374]

Snake_the_Slayer ok

[@andyginther8562]

Yeah man that was great! Really cool to see company. I love seeing that trailer at shows. Hope to see more vids from Whistler.

[@harmlesscivilian]

I live in MN and never knew that there were bike parks here. There is a bike park close to my home, but it isn't much. I'm glad too find out that there are good bike parks as close as Duluth.

[@bikercad6828]

I am on the mountain bike team that Calvin helps with and I was there when the trail work got rained out, that was a ton of rain

[@TrailFeatures]

I think I've played too many video games... @5:34 my brain saw him riding that bike and it kinda looked like a bad clipping issue. 🙃

[@sc0608023]

You mean the wheel partially sunk into the ground? haha

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Trail Features Also dropping frames 😂

[@Revy8]

never heard of park tool guys till now. very impressed

[@TCENDURO]

At my college in Kansas we had this freshmen my junior year who ride one one bigger than that one it was so rad to see. Awesome video!

[@randomtwiggster7713]

I live in Minesota! *You should have set up a riding day!!!* Also, does anybody know of good trails to ride in the area just south of Minneapolis? I know Duluth and northern Minnesota have great trails butbi don't live up there.

[@jfkusa123]

RandomTwiggster check Trailforks, there are trails all over the cities. The closest to Minneapolis is probably theo wirth park, but there are great trails all over the place

[@randomtwiggster7713]

jfkusa123 Thanks! I will check trailfork out.

[@Chris-pw7ov]

Just south as in suburbs or south as in southern mn?

[@randomtwiggster7713]

chris s. south as in the suburbs

[@danielazoulay7286]

its honestly crazy how fast your channel is growing. Happy to see the new vid and looking forward to 1mil :)

[@sachaverwijmeren3793]

Watching this was a great way to finish the day

[@hermanhakansson1765]

Come to sweden pls

[@swedishdagger8410]

I love park tool and their products, but I’m not spending all that money on their repair stand

[@michaelmathis1961]

It is money well spent JakesNew. So ride you bike to work and fix a few sandwiches for lunch and save what you would have spent on fuel and eating out and over time you will have the money to buy it!

[@wadedinsdale7066]

Been waiting for another Seth's Bike Hacks video. One of the best parts of every week is always when Seth uploads

[@HotWheelsATL]

Your channel just keeps getting awesome! 😃👍

[@mauriceschiefer9384]

Ride Whistler

[@TheNorthernRider]

This is EXACTLY how a company should be! this was awesome Thanks Seth!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Great company run by some great people. Love how they made that taco stand add on just for you. As for deluth and northern Michigan, they have some great trail systems.

[@seenhoods7229]

Hey Seth I have a hard tail mob bike with skinny tire what would you say the limits are

[@smithfamily710]

Talk about living the dream. Going to the Parktool factory would be a dream come true for a lot of us bike nerds.

[@Saloron2]

That's so awesome! I hope you stopped in the Hayward, WI area on your way back as well. I grew up around there, and biking is growing quick around there. I haven't been on them personally but there is an extensive system there!

[@Vikky-hp5vy]

Is it just me or does all the people who commented on this video have weird usernames

[@ryanfowlow6314]

very over priced in my opinion

[@digitalrailroader]

Ryan Fowlow only because they are the number one authority on bicycle tools.

[@flakeyjay]

Looks like an amazing corp culture and even better people. I like the fact that taco's have made it all the way up to Minnesota. Living in SA TX taco's are a big part of my life as well! Great works Seth amazing content and hope to get my self back into biking shape!

[@typetrouski1543]

Can’t wait for the video of Duluth🤙 I live in MN so I’m pretty pumped😂

[@germanhugger41]

I bought a Park TS- 2 wheel truing stand and tilting base over 25 years ago, and I'm still using it today... It's paid for itself several times over.. I also have a DAG 2 derailleur hanger adjustment tool, and a Park PRS-21 super light repair stand...I also own lots of small Park tools like spoke keys, and cassette and bottom bracket tools....

[@bernardomartins733]

Go Seth! Go Park Tools! Best KZbin channels together! What a treat!

[@cpalmermn]

Park Tool was Hazel Park Cycle!?!? Whoa...grew up near Hazel Park in St Paul, mind blown!!!

[@t5spdtoys]

I appreciate the inside look and the giant unicycle.

[@chrisgoodnight1599]

I learned nearly everything I know about working on bikes from those Park Tool videos!

[@phlarzopru3905]

Thanks for parktool repairing video because i repair my own rear deraillure😁😁

[@alexisvogel1056]

Man.. Gotta come to Chile. Geat riding spots all over and also tons of talented bikers...Some heli drops too

[@whatisthis9495]

funny video! loved it! They seem like a great group of guys and will be ordering my tools from them.

[@th_js]

This was the quickest 10 minutes of my life. That's how good this was

[@dannystarkridesfixed]

I like their videos they helped me figure how to take off a geared cassette so I could turn it in to a single speed. Great KZbin videos.

[@that70sschwinn]

Nice! got to get the TH-1 Would love to get a closer look at the Schwinn collection.. Thanks for the tour!

[@TwitchyNick]

Pretty cool behind the scenes with Park Tool. Neat to see a different perspective into a company I support.

[@thebmxbandofdogs]

dude I love your videos they are always very interesting and fun to watch.

[@kden6889]

Hey I love your videos I’m really trying to save up to get a good bike to put in and maybe take it on trails and start trying to learn thank you for showing me something new and amazing

[@michaelmathis1961]

I have as many Park tools as I can find. Living in Thailand, they are scarce and expensive so I get what I need when in the states. Thanks for the video Seth.

[@XboxDoode]

I was at Spirit Mounatin that day, I’m so bummed I missed you! Hope you had fun, looked like you rode Piedmont, if you ever come back try Mission Creek!👍
