If this video has taught me anything, its that the inside of Seth's handlebars is a gold mine.

@@dylan-5287Crazy how time flies! I started watching from Florida too, I think it was the trip with Alex to Key West ... I still watch all his videos, but I like the Seth's Bike Hacks channel name better, plus his old logo! And I know Seth's on top of it and we're not privy to the data, but I always thought the name change was a bad idea. We know what Berm Peak means, but most new viewers have no idea. Seth's Bike Hacks is straightforward and at least people realize it's a channel about bikes ... And his reasoning was that it no longer fits his content, but using that same logic, neither does Berm Peak anymore. There's a lot more videos about bike hacks and parts/components than there are Berm Peak.

Finally! The video I didn't know I needed - a whole 2 hours of premium procrastination content!

I've got $387 in my handlebars. I did the hacks 34 times.

FYI: CLEANING YOU HUBS. In the old says - 50'S 60'S our bikes usually came with a piece of belt leather hung around the hubs, in a loose loop with a small red reflector attached to the closure end, worked great! You still see them on some bikes, like Brompton and they sell the straps on ebay but would be easy DIY. I still do it on my modern bikes! Love you video..

Seth, thank you so much for these videos! They helped me get back into the sport after almost a decade. I rented a bike recently and tried out my local trails, and while they’re fairly flat I had a blast! Again thank you for everything Seth!

Gotta bookmark this so I can come back to it every time I'm stumped in the garage. Thanks Seth!

1hour 48minute long video??? Aight time to get the popcorn out

After watching your videos for years by now, I never realized how many of you hacks and tips I use on the daily. Thank you, Seth!

You really took me on a trip down memory lane. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and its these videos that I used to watch over and over again when I was just starting to get addicted to bikes. You have come a long way

Great tips. A couple of options: 1) For greasy hands without the skin irritation, work out the grease from under nails or skin crevices using vegetable oil, then cut the oiliness with dishwashing liquid. 2) Effervescent denture tablets are an easy way to clean water bottles and hydration packs, and leave a nice clean scent afterwards.

G'day Seth, thank you for this super bike hacks video. Your channels are one of the many reasons why I love mountain biking. Thank you for your hard work filming and editing. This super cut would've taken a fair while to put together, given the years of gems in the videos.

Seth, I found this video to be extremely enjoyable, and I did learn a thing or two, and it was very enternaining, and I chose a rainy day to watch it so I did not lose riding time. You are the genuine article.

All hail Drama, forever in our hearts!!!❤

I had forgotten about a cpl of these gems and always great to see vids of Drama. RIP pup

The peak of mtb life hacks! Respect man, been watching you since forever!

Instead of pool noodle, go to your local hardware store and get foam rubber plumbing insulation. It’s not as thick as pool noodle, comes in different “pipe” size and is already split down the side!!

This was a great surprise of an upload! I was stuck in a cramped mini van and this very long video was a great distraction.

I watch you all the time Seth, you're absolutely amazing! I watch every video and you help me out so much

Thanks! This video came out at the perfect time, I’m going on a 2 hour road trip today, and this will be perfect to watch.

22:00 this actually will help me! I have a project of mine and I was thinking on ways to make a tensioner with a thin metal bar. Thanks to the garden hose, the chain won't rattle about when it hits the bar!

This was a nice trip down memory lane! Cool watching your success progress over the years. Thanks!

Seth you're a legend and an inspiration. Thanks for all the excellent awesome content. More flip bike!!!!

Bravo taicule! Un video foarte mișto din care am mai învățat câte ceva. Aș mai avea un truc, două de adăugat: Cântărește bicicleta pe un cântar de oameni. Mai întâi te cântărești pe tine, vezi ce greutate ai, apoi te cântărești cu bicicleta în brațe. Scazi greutatea ta din total și ai obținut greutatea bicicletei. Pentru cârcei / crampe, mănâncă o jumătate de lămâie și îți vei reveni. Google translate limba română 😊 Mulțam, Seth, ești de-al nostru! Zi frumoasă și cu multe zâmbete!

Just me who watched the whole thing? 🤣 Great video! brings back creek memories.

finally a comeback for the goated series

The license plate for tools with belt clips is smart, but I would fold over the edge of the top of license plate, it would be a somewhat more secure hold but more importantly much less risk of dying if you somehow manage to fall neck first into it.

Honestly, Zip Ties are the GOAT hack enough that its not a bad idea to carry them around along with a knife or multitool to shave them down.

Nice one seth I’ve been waiting for your new video!

I've watched a dozen videos about tubeless before I setup mine, but I totally missed the part that you're not supposed to use tire levers on a tubeless setup. Thanks for explaining it to me Seth! :D

This is brilliant! I'm not mechanically inclined and getting into all road bikes. Thank you

Thanks! this vid was useful and has a lot of fun. I can add one thing: I use hooking loop as a frame (chain) protector. I swirl it around the chain back fork arm to whenever come in handy. :)

A good number of these are excellent ideas. Thanks !

GoShank 😂, I'd forgotten about that. Loved looking back over this old stuff. I especially love the hack of closing power links by putting them above the chain stay 👍🏻

Challenge: Find the WORST tip in this video.

Amazing upload! Thank you so much sir! This will help countless people.

Really enjoyed the throwback to the old videos that originally hooked me on your channel. Thanks!

Hi Seth I have been waiting for a video like this you are my favorite KZreadr and mtb riders I watch your videos everyday and I have watched all of them and you have inspired me to start mountian biking I am 13 and i live in southafrica in cape town and I have been working on a mtb track of my own and I have been practicing everyday so one day I can be like you and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and keep up the hard work and I really appreciate it have a great day

the old-school 90s method of getting those grips on was to use hairspray. It would be slick going on and then provide some adhesion between the grip and the and the bar once it dried up

I periodically rewatch your old videos for some reason and now I got them all cleanly in a compilation. Great xV

regarding velcro on the cables, you could buy a roll of felt tape. This is what is used in some vehicles as a wiring harness wrap so that the bundle of wires doesn't make noise hitting interior car panels.

Yes, great compilation! I've learned a few things.

I was just thinking about this yesterday halfway eating a very delicious double cheeseburger, "What if Seth makes a compilation of all bike hacks he knew? Man that would be rad" AND IT CAME!!

With me and my daughter looking to start cycling further from home this coming spring, the wife bought us each a hydro pack. The techs for maintaining them and the hacks wiil come in helpful. Just wish they were in one video

"Just obtain a segment of garden hose, your neighbor mate have one." 😂😂😂 21:28

This is a gold mine of great ideas! Seth is the King of Zip Ties, I believe! 👑

Seth I lover your channel I remember watching your channel and waiting for those old bike hack videos to come out I remember the days of the deck and I watched the entire build of berm park I really hope that one day you bring back the Seth’s food hacks they where the best

thanks for the hard work dude

i got to say , u make me feel like a kid again , and thats why i LOVE BIKING , thanks for the GREAT info

What a throwback. I still use many of these all these years later

To decouple and couple a quick link you can also use hooked circlip pliers. And there's no need for a hairpin to keep prevent the chain from snapping when decoupling the quick link. Just take the chain partially or completely off of the chain ring to release its tension. For the chain guard, I recently utilized an old tube strapped with a couple of zip ties. It's better than just zip ties or an oracal sticker, because it muffles the chain slap.

I cut up Darrel and Lea licorice bites (the 3 flavor pack is great) into small bites for my trail mix, along with cashews and pistachios. Sometimes, I break up some pretzels (Utz Splits are the current favorite because of ingredients and taste), and next batch is getting cut up dried kiwi.

Welp, we know the 2x4 clip is a little dated. Because they sure ain't just a few bucks these days haha! Thanks for the video captain! Some rather useful tidbits for sure.

Another one, though this is more of an old timer thing Using a Long Nose Plier to unlock/lock a casette, jamming the arm between the locking ring and the hub axle, make sure the arms do engage well, twist the arm but keep jamming it in to prevent it from jumping, you can use an adjustable wrench or vise-grip pliers to clamp to the side and gain better leverage. i used this to change the casette on my bike, it can put scratches on the locking ring, a useful means though not worth it if you can afford a reasonably durable casette tool.

Man this brings back memories!

As always, great video!

For the shrader adapter, just get one, put it on your presta, and a schrader cap on top. Been using it like that for years, never had an issue finding a pump for me or family, friends )

So nostalgic. Seth's Bike Hacks

Using the 3 way as a blender was a Chef's Kiss for me 🤣

Seth bike hacks for life man, forlife.

Holy crap my head hurts after watching all that info! 😂

Haha 6:30 Bike Stand: i realize how long I follow this channel 😅

I forgot about the Orange bike. Man that was a good looking one.

Bike man has returned with more wisdom. May your shifting stay ever smooth and derailleur intact.

Thanks for bringing me back down memory lane. I can't believe I watched all those videos. Now if I can find that video when you went back home and rode Stillwell... BTW, maybe I missed it, whatever happened to the baby oil brake fluid?

I couldn't do all 163 tips in one go but the first 10 tips were amazing.

My brain is all over the map after watching this. So many things to absorb!!

These are great so far. Ideal to watch while washing dishes.

It's incredible how many of these I use on a daily basis. I've even forgotten that they were originally from Seth's Bike Hacks.

I've noticed that the thru axles of my bikes have a hex socket on *both* sides, giving me an additional "plan b" if I need to break loose. You just need to remember that the turn direction is the opposite because you're on the opposite side of the threads.

I love that the old Diamondback is still around. 90's mountain bikes are awesome.

Here's an excellent trick that might save your bike from being stolen: **In addition to your bike lock(s), use multiple motion-based theft alarms**. Think about it like a thief: If you're trying to steal a bike, you want to do it quickly and not get noticed. Having multiple locks and multiple alarms takes that freedom from them. Multiple alarms means eyes are on them, which means they've gotta decide between finding a quicker way to wreck your locks and booking it. 8 out of 10 times, they'll just book it so they don't get caught.

Omg yes! Sunday entertainment is secured! 😅

Love your videos !

Cooking spray on the downtube, chainstays, bottom of the fork crown/legs, rear shock spring and the rims/spokes. Mud wont stick and easy to wipe off. Your bike will also smell like dinner !

There is also a trick I used often where you kinda fold the chain in a certain way around the link and you kinda pop it.

@@jiarongwu618 I've always done this too the whole point of a quick link is that you shouldn't need a tool to remove it.

The bicycle hacks are reminiscent of the hands - on improvising on the Magayver show . Excellent.

36.00 the crank stand do the wood base the other way so the bike can have lean support or do a cross either way it stops the bike tipping when you knock the bars and wheel turns it works good for emtbs, I actually made a couple different ones of these!

hi Seth , to repel water from your Gopro lens I use automotive ceramic coat. works great as it has oleophobic effects. just apply a thin layer and wipe it off with a dry cloth immediately.

Excellent video!

The most entertaining MTB channel in the universe! I didnt learn anything, but at least 😀

Drying out MTB shoes… Some cat litter in an old pair of stockings. Never fails. I use it on my motorcycle boots. Has the bonus action of removing odours as well. Just be sure to get the cat litter before your cat does.

Love to see your old roots get back

Seth’s bike hack - The movie. Nice.

The fish scale trick is brilliant. Thank you.

This is the mother of all hack videos! 🔥

Sir, that's why each taco has two tortillas. The beach towel one is so simple and brilliant but now seems so obvious. 😂

I always put lemon juice in my y water reservoir, very refreshing. And you can get rid of the black in the mouthpiece, two toothpicks and a dishwasher… think about it. Seriously if you have to use your grip as a valve core plier, take a multi tool with you, the needle nose pliers work a treat. I use safety glasses to ride in the forest at night, €8:00 Bolle glasses work a treat. Cheap as chips and keep my eyes safe. As an electrician I use electrical tape all the time when cutting cables, works a treat and you can leave it on. It does come off after a while, but by that time the cable crimps should have arrived.

I enjoy videos Seth. For years I wondered if using ca glue would help w/ cable ends so I tried it. not that bad of an idea I must say. I don't even crimp the cable end.

I needed that first one the other day when I changed my rear derailleur and removed the jockey wheels. Lol

Crazy to think I been watchin this dudes hacks for 6 years🎉

For mould or 1 cup water half a cup of white vinegar amd quarter cup baking soda gets mould out the valves! Works great for a washing machine to! Make sure its white vinegar!

Another way to get rid of the plastic taste in bladders is to add a few table spoons of bicarb soda to a full hydration pack and shake it for a minute then leave it for a night or two!

I watched this entire thing at work :)

Very inspiring. Some flat pedals might be a good bottle openers but SPDs look and act as if they were designed specifically for this purpose.

the upside down tailwhip was a throwback down memory lane. thanks
