The knobby knife was really intended for motocross knobbies that get worn down rounded really fast on rocks, and square knobbies give much more traction in mud and sand. It can extend the useful life of the tire. It's not that motorcycle tires are more expensive, they're just much much harder to change.

I've got a couple things to add as a bike mechanic -there is an attachment you can get for your truing stand to true disk brake rotors, it can either be an arm that you can adjust in tiny increments and hear when it's rubbing, or it can be a gauge that has very fine measurements that are felt by a spring-loaded piston. -Another thing that can work for pulling cables through a frame is a vacuum and either dental floss or fishing line. Feed it into one end and use the vacuum to pull it through the other hole, then similarly tape it to the cable.

Save yourself money and just use an old brake caliper on your bike as a truing gauge. That way however you tune or tweak it, that's how it will be on your bike.
I’m getting into bikes again after a long spell and finding more change has happened in the last 15 years than when chains were first added! Really enjoying your content and presentation , thanks for sharing.
The tyre knob cutter is mainly used for dirt bikes, the knobs are alot bigger so tyres last alot longer but the knobs round off pretty quickly so it helps to keep them feeling new.

The dummy has been such a help for keeping my drivetrain clean. Also invested in a Parktool stand. It wasn't the cheapest stand ever but its so easy to use, and fold away. Also it's built very well. Love the thing .
There are an incredible amount of bike tools, especially from Park Tool. While it would take a lot of work to make, it would be cool if you could review all of your maintenance tools, or at least the ones you use most often so that people new to mountain biking can take care of their bikes and enjoy them for longer.

A chain scrubber is a must. Clean drivetrain = happy drivetrain = more fun on the ride. I own the rotor truing tool. It was a worthwhile purchase. I have the chain wear tool, but you’re right; if you’re questioning your chain, maybe it’s time to replace it anyway. I’m going to look into that third hand tool. It looks helpful.
You are 100% right. I dont bike but I enjoy your channel. You make fun and informative videos and I appreciate them because it gives me something to watch. Thanks!
I just wanna state that the tire knob cutter thing, was originally designed for Dirt Bikes since the knobs wear out quickly and make a drastic difference which can often save you from injury.

The third hand tool actually has a much more practical application. When you replace housing, it can be hard to get new ferrules seated all the way. Customer picks up their bike, shifts it, ferrules settle on there more, and now the bike shifts like garbage and the customer is unhappy. This is what a lot of mechanics call "cable stretch" because it makes it sound like it isn't their fault. The third hand let's you put tension on the housing to seat those ferrules completely so you know it is going to keep shifting well when it gets picked up and ridden. I use it on every new bike I build and every time I replace housing or ferrules.

The hot knife or tire-knob cutter you showed us isn’t too uncommon in the 4wd community, in one shape or another. It’s pretty cool. I’d definitely consider it for shaping knobs on a work out tire that i could use in mud or something

It's not a third hand tool. A third hand is for holding the brakes closed. The thing that pulls cable is a fourth hand.
yes we need other vid like this , they are so fun and interesting to watch
re: cable puller, yours and mine both have a locking mechanism which allows you to pull the cable, lock it in place at that tension, letting go of it completely, and doing fine adjustments on cable pull, testing travel at the lever, before locking it down. This allows you to start the barrel adjusters all the way in, for maximum adjustment as the cable stretches and brake pads wear off. It can be especially nice when working on cheaper friends' bikes, as the cables on these can't take more than one or two clamping down, so it's nice to just have that brake cable tension dialed before even clamping once. I would dare say this is a tool that's more useful the cheaper the bikes you work on! With better bikes, hydraulic brakes don't require this, and shifter cables don't need quite as much force.

Ok, the 3rd hand tool rocks, I must get one! I usually grab with vise grips then pull and try to hold while I tighten the nut etc...that tool would make it soooo much easier. The knobby cutter I would just make with soldering irons I already have. Most of these tools look decent and any job is easier with the right tool. Some of us don't do enough to have all the tools, but some of them would be a good idea. I would probably fill the chain scrubber with oil, and let it rip. Scrape of the gunk and put on fresh oil. Good enough for me! I am not much of a bike cleaner, although i have not hot any really muddy trails. I tend not to ride those conditions.
A bigger version of the knobby knife is actually used on offroad motorcycle tires to improve grip on them, since they dont have that many knobs it wont take as much time.

Hi Seth, Could I have a recommendation on the best quality child seat to install to a mountain bike full suspension for a 1 year old. Thanks.
good video i liked the refresher on the tools
The knob knife is actually quite often used by pro mechanics. They cut down the middle knobs of heavy mud tyres in order to decrease rolling resistance (and therefore increase speed) without sacrificing cornering grip.
I use a dremel to freshen up the tires takes like 10 minutes each tire and the results are amazing
Used to use the tire knobby knife on dirtbikes sometimes, come in handy when you didn't really want to put a brand new tire on for a certain race but needed a bit better traction, or we v'd the knobbies for mud race when I only had a hard pack tire, surprisingly worked well in that situation.
You left out a number of incredibly helpful tools such as a tube expander, spoke cutter (phil wood being my favorite), spoke punch, ultrasonic parts cleaner (far superior to the chain cleaner with the brushes), vernier calipers, impact screwdriver, riv-nut kit and seat tube reamer. Yes tube expanders are a real tool.
You’ve developed the new child cave man look. Lol. Congrats on the new addition to your family.
