At the rate you guys are suggesting hacks, I might be able to do this once per month!

There's a special place in hell for the dog walkers who don't take the poop bag with them.

Video starts at 0:00 your welcome Love your channel

Hack Idea: Hide your phone in a book so you can watch Seth's new videos in class.

Im guessing you'll never see my post, but NEW HACK for you. If you are trying to dial in your rear brake caliper alignment, try installing your rear wheel without putting the chain onto your cassette. That way your rear wheel can rotate in silence while you listen to see if your rotor is rubbing!

I recently bought a bike and didn’t have a presta pump. In a pinch an air gun with a taco bell straw on the end will fill your tire up.

Guitar cable as derailleur cable works well

Seth, you are one of our sports greatest ambassadors. The way you cater some content to beginners is invaluable in bringing new riders to the sport and helping them progress. I am sure that there are thousands of riders out there that would thank you for getting them into riding and working on their bikes. I have been riding and racing since 1990 and I still find your tutorials and hacks to be really helpful. And I really appreciate that you show younger riders that it's not all about having to most expensive bike; its about progressing, learning and having fun. Keep up the fantastic work Seth! And if you ever make it up to the Adirondacks, I would love to show you around my favorite local trails. Thanks again Seth!!!

You should make a stationary bike stand that you can pedal foe exercise! I lot of the ones online are expensive. Love your videos!

Hack number 1,600,055. When riding in WNC be sure to grab an elk for a good tow up the mountain.

Hahaha glad to see my travel hack in there! My sweaty pads go in there too, I definitely don’t need that stuff in my clothes bag! No disrespect to the TSA agents of course, I greatly appreciate the job they do keeping the airplanes safe, just trying to keep my bike bag search quick and to the point!

Hey Seth, glad to see you back on the bike again! As a hack for your next video in the series, I have started using small lengths of PVC that fit over my axles for when I remove my wheels and put my bike in my car. This keeps grease on the axle and away from the upholstery of my car. It can also double as a dummy cassette when cleaning your chain...similar to your hose hack from a while back (without the neighborly theft). Enjoy and keep the videos coming...love the content!

1: Use your fish/luggage/bike scale as a DIY torque wrench by measuring the distance from the center of rotation to the point where you make the force, and the force you make. For example, to do 40Nm you just have to do a force of 20kg at a distance of 20cm. 2: Use some old big scissors as a chain whip by drilling 2 holes on each blade and attaching one small piece of chain to each blade. The ends of the pieces of chain should be the outer links. As you don't need lots of chain, you can use the left overs of new chains. 3: Improvement over the crank boots inner tube hack. Cut a section of inner tube 1.5 times as long as the height you want to cover. If you want the outside of the inner tube to be the visible part, first turn it inside out. Now place a third of the tube you cutted by the side of the crank you want to protect the most, for me, having the crank arm in the bottom of the stroke, I put it facing between the front and center of the bike. Now, just fold the rest of the tube over the crank + first third of the tube. Finally cut out the hole and reinstall your pedals.

Once, when my workshop was limited to a toolbox and an old beercrate, I used an old, chepa** side type wirecutter, that Ive flatted with an old file, for crimping the cable ends. That is actually what I still use to this day, despite of now roaming in a proper workshop containing all the lusts of the home mecanic.

This was the very first Berm Peak video I watched, Seth has changed a lot since then. I tried the pipe-stand contraption and I had to drill holes into each side and peg it down because it kept falling over with the weight of my bike. Great tips tho👏🏼

0:48 when Seth gets a machine gun

You can use a Multitool as a tripod for you smartphone simply by raising for example two screwdrivers and placing it in between them.

You can clean jockey wheels but getting a corn cob holder and holding it with one prong on either side of the jockey wheel...now pedal and the prongs will clean of gunk and grease

one suggested modification to the "pedal bike stand" 7:13 use a hole saw with the diameter that matches the inside diameter of your pvc pipe, preserving the disk that's left from cutting a hole in a 2 x 4. first bolt the disk to your base, then screw the pvc pipe to the disk. this makes for a rigid connection between the base and pipe that's needed to support the forces required to hold your bike up..... I have a heavy tandem bike.

Nice hacks. Been using vice grip and old chain technique since 2012.

0:08 so pretty much - " when working on a cold tire, make sure its not cold" xD

I dont even ride mountain bikes but i love your channel and I've found uses for your hacks in every day scenarios, keep making these videos!!

I think this is the best bike hack video I’ve ever seen, and it’s definitely your best by far. The chain whip and the stand were both amazing ideas.

Love seeing a video with more bike hacks! Love the new bike stand idea, might need to set one of those up!

Seth, you probably know this. If you cut a large rectangular piece out of a used squeezy plastic toothpaste tube, it makes an excellent "tyre boot" for get you home sidewall repairs.

I was having a wack day in school today... Thank you Seth for making it a better day for me

Hi! I'm a big fan of your videos! One thing I do to protect the end of the cables when I'm out of caps is heat shrink tubing, a little peace at the end of the cable heated carefully with a matchstick gets the job done! Protects the wire and your fingers! Cheers and keep up the good work!

I liked the part about cutting cables and it is spoken "in a pinch" this brought me great joy! lol

Good ideas Seth! Instead of a towel, use an inner tube to clamp the shock/part - it will hold the part more securely/won't slip.

I was waiting for another one of these videos, good job

Thanks Seth, loving your work.

Now this video was worth my time. Real hacks that are sound. Thank you.

By far most useful utuber and one of my favourites 😍😍😍😍😍

I love your bike hacks. But my favorite is the latch on your garbage can. I live in upstate NY where the bears also love garbage cans. Since I installed last year he hasn’t gotten into my garbage!! So simple and yet so satisfying!

when bikepacking and I washed my socks the night before, I tie my socks to the handlebars and ride a few KMs to let it dry up. I overdid this last year and tied my cycling jersey and shorts as well. Worked like a charm😄

Also, I loved the rag around the shock, while you do have to be very careful, it’s a great solution in a pinch!

Here’s a hack for one of your videos, when learning to pull up barspin learn to do a barspin on ice since you don’t have to lift up the front wheel and then when your comfortable with that you can move on to the actual barspin👍🏼

0:51 *vietnam war intensifies*

Seth I got told from Jim at my local bike store that using WD-40 on the bike chain can damage the chain but watering down oil and put a half teaspoon of WD-40 in it can make it less erosive on the chain grease and also works as a chain cleaner. Seth your the best UKpostsr I watch with the best content and sharing your bike knowledge to help the MTB community to help people’s skills on there bike and helping them to keep there riding safe,clean and maintained. Your amazing keep the brilliant content up.

I have used a rubber bungee strap or tie down and some pliers instead of a rag and vise to create a make shift strap wrench. Works really well! A little tough to get any leverage though. Always love your content. Been watching for a long time now. Keep it up!

Taco hack: put crushed up bits of tortilla chips in your tacos for more texture and flavor

Leaving a partially full poopy bag in your bike luggage will also ward off security agents at the airport

Very informative. I always watch your vids. Even though I don’t have a bike. It makes me happy.

Seth these hacks keep on getting better and better.

Hey Seth here's a hack get your presta valve cap and chop the top off then slide it on your valve and use a conventional shrader pump 👍

Hey Seth, great video as always. The bike stand at the 4min mark would be a little more stable if the wooden part was rotated 90deg. Let's keep this hack videos coming!

seh your so inspirational i started mountain biking and thanks to you im really into it

Can't wait to see you back on trails man. I love the hacks but you shine on the trail videos.

Love your channel Seth. Always have interesting content.

Store your hydration pack bladder in the freezer! That way it will stay clean and fresh forever without any bacteria or fungus. No need to let it dry

Really enjoyed the video seth and i got an idea for a hack so you have a taco holder but what if you made a dinner plate holder? And keep up the great work👍

Another great video!! Nice to see you back on the bike at the end of the video!!

I have never laughed so loud before good vid

Thanks for the hacks, Seth! I've put tires in the oven on "warm" to make them easier to mount (this only works if they aren't on the wheel already). :) Totally going to make that bike stand since I have a couple mountain bikes that don't hang well (and a variety of tire widths). Will report back when I do it with a dremel, and what dimensions I used. 3" PVC? 0.75" width slot?

Nice hack of advise on the chain and vise 👍🏼👍🏼 You rock!

Best outro I've seen in while!

When servicing your fork, stick a broom up the steerer tube so you don't need to dangle and tangle your bars.

I love this channel. It inspires me to make videos myself.

Just knocked up a bike stand today, used a pvc end cap screwed onto the base and pvc glued the pipe into the end cap. Thanks Seth.

You can use your quick release from your axle as a tire lever, I used this one on the trail when I got a flat and all I had was a tube and a pump

3:30 I can't believe that was already a few years ago

I just made the PVC bike stand and it works great! Thx

thanks for making biking better seth

Oh yeah yeah! Those are some nice tips!😄👍

I still remember whenever Seth only had like 20k subs and I would always comment on the videos and he would respond that would always make me so happy!

1)If you have the grip strength, vise grips will also cut cable cleanly 2) Use a drill bit or small hole saw to make a clean end when cutting a slot Keep the hacks coming!

Thank you for all of the hacks

3:30 , just putting this here so if u do build a stand for my bike I can find it again

Sick video. Always so well produced and informative. If my videos were this well produced I would be well pleased. Seth could you please do a vid on how to grow an MTB UKposts channel in 2019? 🤟🏻

im re-watching all your older videos because i just finally bought my first non walmart bike and my first bike in over 15 years and ontop of that im moving to nc not by choice so you are giving me plenty of info for both

Great video! I really like watching theese videos! Thanks for making them.

Hack - you can use a piece of an old water hose, split it down one side electrical tape it to your chain stay and then it is a guard and a silencer

If your wearing cargo pants "like i do when mountain biking especially in the winter and the snow in western ny" or jeans or any kind of pants lol, i use 2 rubber bands around my right pant leg so i dont get chain rub on my good cargos

GREAT tips! A few more: 1. Place a drop of superglue in a cable cap and slip it on the cable end. No need to crimp it. 2. Use a 1/2" long piece of electrical heat-shrink tubing on a cable end. Heat shrink is cheap and available in many colors. 3. Dunk your brake levers in Plasti-Dip to give you better wet-weather grippiness. Available in several colors. 4. Self-sealing silicone tape makes a great semi-permanent chainstay wrap to protect the paint from chain slap. 5. If you ride in snow, place a warm bike outside for 20 minutes before you ride; this allows the bike to reach ambient temperature. If you ride a warm bike in snow, the snow melts and then freezes again as ice on the chain, cassette, and derailleurs, which makes shifting difficult.

I like to melt a little bit of leaded solder onto the ends of cables to keep them from fraying. It looks super clean and no cap is needed.

Just saw the second hack on IG 😂😂

Ngl Seth 5:36 - 5:56 just felt like one innuendo to me😂 maybe I'm just a sicko😂

Bike stand idea looks great!

Thanks so much for another amazing hack vid🤙🤙 I have one hack it's when your cables rub on my frame or fork I got the hook and loop you like and put it right around the cables and on the fork it looks really sleek

Seth : a warm tyre is much easier to use and manipula- Me : *uses a hairdryer*

Use a garden sprayer as a tubeless inflator See Phil's video about that

Great hacks. Loving this channel just now.

Yooo i’ve been subbed for years and i had no idea you hit 1,000,000 subs good job dude!

2:35 that Face... Make me laught

A leather belt works better than a rag. Also works great on jars when you don’t wanna admit to the wife you couldn’t open it. 🤫

Thanks to your great vids and product reviews and bikes them selves I'm making money and training neighbors how to ride and I'm only 13 so over all you deserve every thank in the world and I can't wait to see your newer vids your awesome

When i was a low-budget cycling student and i had to take off the cassette, because i had no chain whip, i used a rag which i directed between the spokes 3-4 times on the left and the right side to hold the cassette in place. It's not the prettiest of them all but is working.

The end of a lock on grip to take off a valve core.

im a 13 year old from ontario and im just starting out with mtb, can you make a video about tips to help you start off? could you also make a hack for lifting your bike when you dont have a bike stand, because i really want to get one but dont seem that i can afford one!

Hey Seth, I have a cool hack: you can use those magnetic blocks spheres to hold PowerLinks inside your crank spindle, if you have a steel axle.

That first hack will sure be useful in the harsh winters of Southern California!

-4 Over here in the UK!

There is a kid at my school who goes around and slashes people's tires and undoes the quick release squires can you make a safety hack for something like this?

Thanks for getting me into the best sport

I bought a bike tool kit about twenty years ago for $60. It came with all the tools you'd need for a bike plus the plastic molded case to put them in. Best investment a biker could make.

If you are younger and dont have a place to leave your bike over the winter do this: Pull your bed away from the wall about 2 feet. Take the pedals off the bike. Loosen the stem of the handle bars and move the bars so that they are parallel with the frame and tires. Tighten stem Your bike should be about 6-10 inches wide!

Dude this is an awesome video I like these ones heaps keep it up and your really inspirational love ya bud I’m not gay bye the way 🙏🔥🚵🏻‍♂️💩

Thanks Seth that was very helpful

an welder made me a bike repair stand from few 2" square pieces of metal scrap, act like stand feet...in a V shape...above 2 metal pipes one slightly bigger then another so you can adjust the height...and on top old wide vicegrips as a holder for the bike... works flawless

Don't oil your brakes .... Vodka them!
