Hey Seth, an added tip for cutting zip ties: Use another zip tie. You push the 2nd tie onto the tail of the first, snug them up, and proceed to do that twist trick. The 1st tie usually shears off perfectly flush with its nub, then you just pull the 1st ties tail out of the 2nd ties nub and you're good to go!

Hey Seth, i was out biking pretty far from home without a quicklink and my chain broke, so i found a string on the ground and tied the two ends of the chain together on the bottom side of the drivetrain. Then i was able to pedal one full revolution, backpedal, and repeat. Its a pretty sketchy fix but it beat walking home

[@PatrickG4531]

Good tips. Nice video. I had a chain break years ago and ended up walking home. Since then, along with chain tool, I keep a strip of chain links in the tool bag. Exact chain length is not important unless you have a single-gear bike. If you don't have a truing stand, put a cable tie on your fork and cut it where it just touches the rim. As wheel turns observe the gap and tighten spokes accordingly. After decades of working on my own bikes, just learned this from a youtube video this year.

As a pro mechanic I've used the valve-nut tip when doing fork overhauls for years. Glad to see it being spread to other riders! Once I remove the fork I like to use a pedal strap threaded through the headtube to secure the headset bearings, spacers and stem. This helps keep everything in the proper order, makes assembly easier, and most importantly it keeps the handlebar from dangling so that you're not putting stress on your brake hoses.

[@Unkwpne]

You inspired me so much I have built so dirt jumps in my yard and its amazing I will use you packing tool next time I build a jump. Keep up the good work

[@paulhillereau2974]

If the bolt is not too rounded, you could also use a rubber band between the bolt and the hex. It should help to have enough grip to unscrew the bold. I've used this trick to get rid of a rounded top cap bold and it worked well.

[@markogg4823]

I have a couple for you, you're not the only one who thinks ahead, for chain stay protector I used road bike handlebar wrap, I used cork for weather resistant and lightweight, another thing I thought about was my cable and hose routing, I ran everything thing to compensate for a 180 degree turn, but I also ran my cables a little shorter than my brake lines, so if it does happen the cables will grab before the hydraulic lines do, call it a failsafe, I would rather replace a cable as apposed to the alternative, AKA fluid everywhere, I hope you get this and share, I love your channel along with many others, you have been a great place for knowledge and insertion, one more thing, the road bike handlebar wrap comes in so many colors and forms it's the perfect product for chain stay protection.

[@Jrod_FPV]

Good zip tie cutting hack when on the trail. For when i'm home, I bought flush cutters for zip ties.... never have a sharp zip tie end ever again and well worth the $5.

Hey Seth! Love the channel and what you're doing for the community. I have a suggestion for the next bike hack video. "How to dial in a bigger than expected dropper post". For me, I have a 150mm that's about 1 inch to high for me and really sucks because it came with the bike and I had no option to change it. I've thought about doing a shoelace tied from my seat to my seatpost clamp, when I've dialed in the right height. Or better yet, a thin plastic wrapped metal wire, or normal wire with some nice small metal crimps. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe you could!

[@landonmodlin5691]

I was also wondering that

[@MaplePanda04]

Late reply, but some droppers allow you to lower the travel. You’ll want to unscrew the deal collar and find the keyways (slots on the stanchion). Put some spacers between the keys and upper bushing, and you’re good to go! If you look up “travel adjust dropper” you can find some videos covering the process, although you may have to hack it a bit (your dropper probably doesn’t have proper shims available).

[@mcbullitt]

After working on my brake caliper I forgot to bend the pin that threads through the brake pads in order to secure the them, so it fell out. I used a piece a bamboo and two zip ties on each end to secure it. It worked so well I hated to remove it once back home. Great vid!

One thing I've added to my "on the go" tool kit, is one of those tiny KEY knives. It's a fold out knife the size and shape of a key, even fits on a keychain, and if you sharpen this well when you buy a new one it's a very capable mini knife. I've had to use one several times since I've started carrying it, and have given them to a few of my biking friends. It cuts patches to size, cuts zip ties, cuts tape, we had to cut a piece of plastic one time & it cut that well, many uses. ~JSV

A hack I came up with today out of necessity in conjunction with another hack (technique?) I already knew of. I bought a $20 complete front wheel and rotor to replace the one stolen off my bike. The disk was very wobbly, and rubbed on the brake pad on one side. I loosened the caliper, squeezed the brake lever, and tightened them again (the known hack), but the disk still rubbed for a good bit of the rotation. I took a crescent wrench and adjusted it to just a bit wider than the disk, and was able to true the disk by just spinning the wheel on the upside-down bike, using the tire logo position to reference where exactly in the rotation it made the sound. No truing stand or weird brake-disk-bending specialty tool needed!

[@janzahlava9426]
