I can picture the "air quotes" happening as your recording. Once again, classic Shredist, great job

Nice job with the pre-ride preparing! I totally agree with that you have to disassemble, lube everything and assemble the bike together, before you start riding the hell out of the alloy horse!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey all, quick tip on bedding brakes in: don't come to a full stop on your first few runs during the bedding process. This will leave a deposit of brake pad material in one spot on the disc and will make it much more prone to squealing later on. I suggest finding a hill and going down it around 5 or more times while pulling on the brakes. Again, don't come to a full stop for the first few runs, just let yourself roll down the hill whilst applying pressure to the brakes

I do the exact same with the Vinyl. Even one ride makes it so much harder to go back and clean it fully, too! My other thought is that it’s maybe $40 in vinyl vs $100 or more for a ride wrap kit, and you still have to apply it yourself. Might as well cut it on the fly and apply it in the high wear areas. It’s pretty easy!

This. Getting back into mountain biking a few years ago, I got my wife a Giant Stance. Nice ride. But I didn't tape anything. The downtube is just flat out wrecked in the paint department. When I got myself an upgrade (YT Jeffsy), I taped all over the place. Bike still looks brand new 3 years later. And yes, it makes cleaning a snap.

Thanks for the tips, currently building a new one!

Sick video I might get a new bike soon so this was helpful 😀

Welcome back! Really solid tips. Thanks!

just bought a transition scout so this was perfect timing

Trying to get my first dual suspension bike! Awesome vids and love that you’re local!!

Love your videos every week.

This gives me major early Seth videos. Good work! I know all the shots you did took forever to set up.

I'd recommend keep the chain factory lube at first and change it at the first needed clean. It's not staying clean for longer with another chainlube. Always flats on tubes? Maybe you are just using those cheap non protected tires. I use Conti with protection case and got not flats since 3 to4 years.

I got my bike around 2 months ago and now I know that I probably should have lubed up all the bolts and now I also want to go tubeless! Thanks for all the great tips!!!

Just got a new bike, this was so helpful. ❤

Good job!

damn this is a great video. Lot's of great info, and well summarized. Thanks!

That's a lot of things to check and do! But it seems worth it.

Wrap a beer coozy where it touches the truck. Theres even a "snap on bracelet" designed beer coozy. Work for lifts too.

I just placed my order the T8 today can’t wait !!!!! And now I have a whole list of things to get ready to do ! Got about a month till it arrives (ighhhhh) so plenty time to get all that’s needed at least ! Great video and some great tips that I haven’t thought of

Good video. You could add cleaning the drivetrain and use wax instead of oil from the beginning.

Oh man so much things but I will try to save some buck with the things I already got and can handle, like some tools and stuff I could rehuse. prob will need to buy grease and whatnot, thank you for this video, as a beginner it really helps to know what to do first, even before the first long ride or something

Great tips! Had me cracking up too. 😆

Keep up the good work

Oh my gosh,....I laughed so hard watching the bike delivery scene....hahaha.

I got a new entry level hardtail last year. Was just going to upgrade it a little. Next thing I knew i upgraded everything lol. Now running everything Shimano xtr fsa afterburner wheels

Awesome!

What bike do you like riding more, the T8 or N9? Been watching your channel for awhile now and also just entered into a partnership with Polygon this month. I love the siskiu T and N models both. Just curious what you've enjoyed more?

Love that bike. I got one recently, it’s brilliant. Did same mods basically. Needs better brakes though.

Also Mothers CMX polish. Never wash your bike again, just hose it off. If you’re riding in mud and rain, it’ll be clean from the ride home. Expensive, but I can’t speak highly enough of it.

One thing for sure, I take my torque wrench and check everything. It saved my ass, also some bike shop ass. I couldn't imagine the warranty claim on a full sus frame that was tightened finger tight 😂

Wish I saw this two years ago!

Pedal wrench and spoke tuning fork, man that cone wrench is like a multi-tool! I highly recommend a proper pedal wrench if your pedals don't have Allen heads

For Me If I Scratch That On New Bike My Opinion Is Repaint With Great Quality Primer, Great Color and Finishing With Car Varnish AkA Glossy Finish With High Solid Glossy And I Guarantee That Bike Will Be Shine And Glow And Then For Protection Apply High Quality For Car Laminates (That Laminate Good Too For Bike)

And forget all the tubes and junk they sell at bike shops. Go to a hardware or automotive store and buy a small can of marine grade grease. It's cheaper, and is waterproof. I use this stuff on my bikes and have no worries about anything penetrating anywhere it is applied. It is a great water barrier.

What inserts do you use? Looks like a DIY option? I just got a fresh bike a couple weeks ago and I can’t afford to buy inserts, and I can’t afford to keep replacing tires because of pinch flats, so I’m running tubes for now. (On a previous bike I was tubeless with no inserts, and I was destroying tires at least every other week)

About 6 inches under snow lol

FYI, that's not Loctite, it's Nylok. Loctite would be useless if you re-torque the bolt as it only holds the first time you tighten the bolt. Nylok is a mechanical locking device which basically fills the empty space between the male and female threads and so will be good for 3-4 full thread / unthreads.

Too bad I learned all of these by doing it the wrong way, but a great video none the less.

Regarding the mastic tape chainstay protectors, check out this dude: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqaGpM2Dd9uvndo.html I've done this to both my bike and my wife's and been happy ever since.

Most half decent bearings already have decent grease, and a right one too, at the right ammount (~30%filling)inside them. So I'd refrain from packing everything right away, but adding a grease coating on the outside of the bearing seal, should help with water displacement BEFORE you ever decide, if it's worth replacing grease inside of a bearing, which you're not 100% sure is still ok, or getting ready to replace. This is time consuming AF, not that great to environment since you sponsor degreasers manufacturing, air haulage by massive trucks(cause who doesn't use spray can right?), single item packaging, bulk packaging, then packaging again and shipping to you(because who would walk or ride to local store, when amazon is always AT YOUR HOUSE with their obscene massive boxes for tiniest items+air bags so it doesn't rattle. On top of that you'll use this degreaser spray way too much to clean a bearing, and splatter half dissolved grease on the driveway, so the rain can cleanup after. That's the American way, fuck yeah! So by the time you cleaned, degreased, repacked, paid for spray and shipping, you pretty much have new set of bearings for free, with much more time to ride and if you recycle that bearing correctly, less harm to nature, that you supposedly love equally to your MTB.....oh wait, it was god that created all the living things, so man can use and abuse them as he's pleased, no love required, my bad... :-)
