my top tip for removing tires: before hooking in the tyre lever, push the tyre on both sides to the inside of the rim.. the middle section of the rim is deeper thus giving the tyres more space to hop over the rim. if needed you can change a MTB tyre without the aid of any levers (being stubborn). Also, I have succesfully used old jeans as a DIY chainwhip. Enjoy!

Love the retractable badge holder idea, doing that one PRONTO!! As far as washing your helmet pads. Next time you buy armor, or something that comes in a mesh bag, use the mesh bag. The mesh bag allows better cleaning of the pads.

For removing valve cores my chain tool from the multitool fits perfectly. It's the part where the chain pin gets pushed out in. Should be standard on all chain tools and it's a perfect fit on the valve core.

Writing invoices on work orders is brilliant and I absolutely love the way to bill out family members with Chores around the houseI'm not sure that would always work but it would remind them that sometimes we're not just Screwing Off in the garage And maybe we deserve a little help around the house. And since I am now retired with a crab load of invoices unused this works great for me.

[@johnnyrc9304]

Helmet Padding- If there's a lady in the house, they usually have a Wash Bag, they put expensive things in, like Bras, etc. Use that for headbands and helmet pads, they're designed specifically to wash delicate stuff inside.

When tuning derailer, or lubing chain etc. I don't turn my bike over or use a bike stand. Instead I put the bike's bottom bracket on a jack stand and lean it against the wall, shelf etc. for balance. It works good for me. To prevent scratches to the bottom of your frame, put a small rag. I have a piece of 3m film.

[@dr.giantsquid]

Good hack: some of my spot lights I use for night riding slip on my metal handle bars so I cut inter tube and rap around the area on the bar where you want the light than just tape the inter tube on with electrical tape and BAM 💥 no more slipping lights

[@sl0ls]

Just autoplayed at least 6 of your videos. Definitely one of the best channels I’ve seen- you absolutely kill it! From content, to camera angles, you’re videos are top shelf quality all the way around

[@southfloridafishing9635]

I love this video Seth, the zoom ins were hilarious and the tips were great. Keep up the great work

[@WeThreeBros]

Hey Seth!, here is my story! I was about 17 miles away from my house and my tube went flat. Fortunately, I was able to find a pump to air up and see how far I could get before she went flat again. (The flat was very small, so i had about 30 minutes of ride time) Anyways the problem with the pump was, it was Schrader and I have Presta valves. So in a pinch, I found a cool hack! If you take the protection cap off of your valve and cut the top off with your knife, you can screw the cap back on and it creates a bigger seal so you can adapt a Schrader to a presta! it was very useful and got me more than halfway back to my house before i had to call for some backup! I hope you can show this in one of your hack videos! BTW my name is Seth too!!

[@lancebreak9825]

[@DirtyBunnyAdventureCycling]

Hi, I used to wear safety glasses while cycling too for the reasons you said, then I did research. Long story short, safety glasses aren't manufactured for sports. Many brands specifically say on the packaging "Not for use in sports". Depending on the manufacturer, the lenses in safety glasses may not be shatterproof (I know, right?), designed to stay on after impact nor offer UV protection. the bows aren't designed for a sport style impact, and aren't made for active style wear. So what this means is that if you're wearing them on the trail, and you get an eye injury due to the glasses cracking or coming apart on impact, you have no recourse because they specifically say "Don't do this." And this isn't going into optical clarity, that some safety glasses are meant only for indoor use, and the mass-manufactured "polarization" techniques... And people will argue that I'm wrong or a shill or whatever, hey you do you. "Any port in a storm" is fine in a pinch, but why compromise when you have access to the RIGHT tools? I'm reminded of the people who wore ski goggles to play paintball. If you don't know better, it sounds perfectly fine, until the lenses blow out on impact and you lose an eye. And that's happened far too often. I'm just sayin'.

[@thejsvenderby2589]

Thank you! I'll reconsider if I should actually buy some.

[@TheBlaert]

There are literally hundreds of different types of safety glasses available. Some offer UV protection, some don't. Some are shatterproof, some aren't. Best advice is do your research on them, because there will be types suitable for biking. And cheap

[@eyeheisenberg2278]

Thanks Bret. Been using that for a few months now. Only concern is the heat in this Australian summer. I hope the tube doesn't degrade in the heat. Otherwise works great. One other bike hack I use is to have a rubber stopper in the base of the seat post. That lets me use the hollow seat post to store things I otherwise don't want found. Be it money or something to smoke after a ride. Works great.
