You Haven't Seen MTB Tech Until You've Seen This! | Dirt Shed Show 486

[@gmbn]

What tech are you looking forward to seeing at EUROBIKE?

[@junka1975]

Owen and Martyn together works so well on the Dirt Shed Show, however Rich would not have let that stunt mug through. Great episode guys.

[@01FozzyS]

#captioncontest "Blake's situation after munching on the cheese stored in his handelbars." Thanks for featuring my Stumpy,guys!

[@elrictdb]

"Sometimes things don't have to look pretty they just have to work" - That's the subtlest dig at a co-presenter I've ever heard! Well done that man!

[@krehme]

Do my eyes deceive me, or is Martin looking fitter than I’ve seen him in some time?

#captioncontest Blake’s second day without stabilisers 😂

[@capt.aaron.paolino]

“Did you get the shot? Please tell me you got the shot before I punctured my spleen…”

[@clhenry78]

Other flops: Allsop Softride Shimano low normal rear derailleur (though, I believe it was a good idea if introduced to more beginner riders). My Giant NRS Air had it. I think it was dual control too. Slingshot suspension cable down tube 2WD MTBs

[@juluisreyes9094]

Wow, dirtshed show already on wednesday..i thought its friday 😁😁

[@DNDinitials]

I always like seeing the new stuff from topeak. Other than that other gadgets and prototypes on display.

[@paulcollingridge8387]

#Askgmbn having reached 65 years old I now have time to ride but also the inflexibility that makes getting on a bike tough, and the bones that break more easily. Why not do a video where you go out with an old-blokes club to see how they've adapted

[@oldmilk68]

I’ve seen some companies marketing “Hunting Bikes” run that dual front wheel setup here in the states. Very interesting.

[@Rubblechops]

Most office workers scanned their own bums at the Xmas party back in the day😂

[@martynashtonGMBN]

That's probably still a valid way of doing some sort of seat bone measurement.

[@andywellon2287]

martin, man you make this a great show with your chat

[@IGGY1969]

Aww bless I don't think Owen did trash the brake pad thing.

[@break154videos]

I remember Simon building Team Nemesis bikes way back in th noughties for Andy Bicley and his pals to get them started

[@markappleyard8467]

@martyn you need to be doing a GMBN segment (excuse the pun) on that Orange AD3. If you could do a long term test it would be awesome.

Nearly finished my newest build... Will be uploading...

Lol at Martyn thinking the guy would rather have a £25 t-shirt over a £40 race jersey...

[@bojanharnovski]

Double Blake #captioncontest ended up in pain with propain.

[@plepgeat]

#ASKGMBN When picking a wheelset for trail bikes, how much faith do I need to place in the manufacturer's classification? My wife weighs about 63 kilos and rides really smoothly - can she get away with 'XC' carbon wheels on rocky trails? I weigh 120 kilos and ride harder - am I stuck with heavier enduro wheels?

[@frankharradence732]

On my local trail at High Lodge, Thetford....At weekends its like a GMBN get together; high numbers of GMBN Merch laden bikers riding around & in the cafe...should I join this East Anglian trend?

[@elrictdb]

Nothing spoils a quiet Friday afternoon watching TDSS more than realising it's only Wednesday :- (

[@fredEVOIX]

I bought replacement wheels for my XC mtb SHIMANO WH-MT500 they accept 2.0 to 2.4 tires, I'm on 27.5x2.25 but they exist in 29 and still accept 2.00

I’ll just wait till Friday to watch it. It’s been a massive part of my Friday for years haha

[@akairborne]

We need more adaptive mtb! More butts in seats!!!

[@darrencshaw]

#captioncontest "Despite being hungry after a long ride, Blake was starting to have second thoughts about the egg mayonnaise sandwich Neil found in the bottom of his bag".

[@Jonathan-q7n2m]

My pee pee goes numb after a while while riding on flat ground. I would love a bucket seat or a crusier seat.

[@martynashtonGMBN]

Haha I think the bucket makes the pedalling bit a tad tricky. It would be fun to put an able bodied rider on a bucket and see how awkward it it.

[@Jonathan-q7n2m]

@@martynashtonGMBN or how nice it is !!??

[@lancewatson2839]

#captioncontest “That’s what happens when you do a double Blake diamond run”

[@lestergreen789]

That adaptive bike needs a seat that moves forward and back to move your weight around

[@samkavanagh8249]

#askgmbn please could you do a proper budget competition series where all presenters including tech have say £1000 to buy a bike online knowing they will probably need to perform maintenance and or upgrade parts then through a series of mtb disciplines to see who’s is best, perhaps winner of each stage gets a cash bump? To further upgrades

[@alcosamwel]

#captioncontest you're right, purple is harder than double black

[@thereal_razorborg7183]

Ref your what would I like to see, tbh new tech is great but for most of us, not really an option to go and buy it, for me the best articles are adventures, stroke projects, my personal favourite, random tandem. Laughed so much, stuff like this are real world challenges, and I think most of us can relate to this type of content, just my opinion I know.

[@ltrtg13]

Owen isn't going to try and ride that water bike thing GCN's Ollie. Tried riding a few years ago.

[@roqclimber]

The Twin Forks looks dangerous, even for someone who doesn't have mobility issues. That makes for a much longer fall, when shee-it goes wrong.

[@alcosamwel]

#askgmbn Hello gmbn crew I have some questions about carbon frames and shock placement I am looking to buy a new bike and it probably will be a carbon frame But in my shed i hang my bike on the wall with an airlock from hiplock Will this damage a carbon frame by hanging it from the top tube ? Also a lot bike i am looking at have the damper placed at the top tube, that wil be hard of impossible to hang like this ? Of so you have ideas or suggestions to work around this ?

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

When Warner bought GCN I was persuaded that you'd be all done with industry sponsorships. It didn't happen but now that Simon bought it back it seems to finally be a bit more relaxed and freethinking. Weird. Or is it Weir?! 😂

[@stanmustard7292]

Ok...the difference between a hack and and a bodge. A bodge is something that will get you home, but not one foot farther, a hack is something that will keep you riding indefinitely...as long as nobody is looking.

[@stanmustard7292]

Further, not farther. Dummy.
