Can a blindfolded mechanic service my mountain bike?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We challenged Pat from Squatch Bikes to do a series of mountain bike repairs blindfolded. The only help we provided was clamping the bicycle into the repair stand and handing him, tools, and bottles of fluids. He actually found most of the tools himself.
Pat, having worked on thousands of bicycles in the same shop for years, would need to rely on his experience and muscle memory to locate tools, identify issues, and check over his work.
Each repair was a step up in difficulty. How many can get get right?

@@rileyolson1672 What if he doesn't know what bike it is - give him some full sus completely disassebled, he'll have to figure out how the linkage works, what bearings go where, perhaps some washers, … Also, but that's probably a step too far, could have to build the wheels blindfolded.

Even IF Seth didn't compensate him, this is AMAZING advertising for Squatch and especially Pat

i was thinking the same thing maybe i should go see my mecanics and chalenge him the same way
The idea is kind of goofy but the comments by Pat were extremely valuable. Listening to his thought process makes the video worth a part 2 and maybe more.
I love how Pat looks more comfortable servicing a fork than walking around his shop
That's an excellent mechanic right there! I have a suggestion for the next go round: install cushcore and seat the tire.😁

@Berm Peak Express i failed at it and took it to a mech who cursed me until i paid and tipped him. After that we went on a ride. It was great.

Oh, ok satan
I like it when you promote the local bikeshops and the people working there! It pays for people to know what the benefit is from going there as supposed to order something online. Wouldn't mind you giving the mechanic the camera for a day, and just let him film whatever he thinks is good to show of and then let you spend double that time trying to edit it into a nice video.

That would make for a really cool video. I hope Seth gives it a shot and credits you for the concept.
"I have never swung a hammer blindfolded before" absolute gold, props to Pat, awesome! :D the first couple swings totally made me LOL! Definitely want a "next time", please :)
This was genuinely impressive! Congrats Pat!
Back in the 50s there was a blind small engine mechanic near where I live. In the summer he liked to work on his dock on the lake shore. He never kept regular hours and would be seen out working at all hours of the night and day. Also Kudos to Pat.
I LOVE goofy stuff like this! MORE PLEASE 🙃
I’m legally blind, and do most of the mechanical work for my friends and family. Skill is skill you just learn ways to adapt.
Pat is one of the absolute best there is. He did quite a bit of work on my bike like year. I loved spending time at Squatch Bikes as well. Everyone is super nice and they have great beer!!
This was fun! Not sure which was more entertaining….. the tech playing “Blind man’s Bluff” or Seth channeling his inner David Attenborough😂
That's pretty impressive. Honestly better than some shops do without blindfolds on. Well done.
You should have a cushcore fitting challenge where everyone who comes on the channel is timed and put on a leader board. Professional mechanics have to do it blindfolded 😆
And many argue on bike repair prices. A professional mechanic KNOWS what to do. As we can see, even blindfolded. Great job!
Incredibly entertaining MTB content. Pat is the man!
I definitely want to see more of this!
really impressive stuff!! this video really shows off years of machine experience super well
I love the work you do! I got into biking because of you and have built my own trails as well! Keep up the good work!
Do this again please. Love watching Pat go through the muscle memory of his job. Great video. Great job Pat.
This was very impressive! Pat is definitely a true master of his craft! Would love to see more of his work!
This was awesome, probably one of my favorite videos of yours to date!
He is truly a master of his work, well done

Loved the video! Stuff like this is always welcome

That was awesome. YES. Do another round of that. Very impressive Pat!
Amazing Pat! I would love to this again! Great challenge.
Would 100% love to see this again!!! As motorcycle mechanic this is a fun but honestly kinda an easy challenge. Once you do it for years it's second nature. This video should have more views!! Great job guys!!!
That was way more fun then I thought it would be. Def be back for more!
Def do more Blind Mechanic stuff! PAT DID AN AMAZING JOB! 👏
Yes Do this again. Fun to watch.
Pat is amazing. Good job pat. Wish you lived near me. I could learn so much. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Awesome video! I definitely want to see part 2 🙌
Yes definitely wanna see more
This was amazing, I would love to see this again!
Yes more please and thank you. ❤
I'm totally impressed!
hella impressive. Love the way he talks himself through the checkpoints. That's when you know you're dealing with someone who's committed to quality rather than someone who just wants to get the job done as quickly as possible (to save money and maximise profit).
Great to see another vid keep it up :D
That was a wicked video! Definitely more!
that was so fun!!! love to see another one!!!
Definitely fun and entertaining! Let’s see more of those
This was a great video! Fun to watch, would love to see more blindfolded challenges!
I definitely want to see more of these.
Hell yeah we want the next one! Also the idea of building a bike fron ground up blindfolded would be interesting, although really hard
Great content! Pat is such a good sport!
Fun video! Love it! Must’ve been a lot of work to put this together.
Amazing skillz! Such a good mechanic!🎉
this guy is good, would love to trust any mechanic like this.
this is really entertaining, I would like to see a complete series!
Again again it was such a great video!😂 u should do a part 2!
man Squash bikes are real they love having fun :D alot companies could learn from this.
There is a bike mechanic at one of the local shops here in Provo Ut that is blind. It is amazing to watch him work. The guy trues wheels by feel!!!!
Absolutely love this! Incredible, I would love to see him strip and re-lace a wheel.
That was a lot of fun, thanks Seth!
He is good. I'd love to see more like this.
That guy was sick. would love more of him
yes we want a next one
The grips one is probably the one he doesn't do that often. People usually take their bikes to him for fork service brake bleed new chain etc.. Almost everone changes grips on their own.

But the grips often come off when you do other stuff like changing the handlebars, changing the brake or shift levers.
This is amazing. Do it again but it's a competition between 2 mechanics
That’s next level wow! Just the fact his tools are so organized. Seth you’re the man! I always look forward to your videos. Next episode I agree should be putting a entire bike together! For toppers a blind downhill run. Ha no pun intended.
Yes please more...that was indeed impressive.
Im upset that i didnt get a notification for this video. Awesome idea and incredibly executed. Good job Seth!
this was an awesome video! would love to see another
Flippen amazing Pat.... kudos to you ... top notch exhibition !!!!!!
Tubeless tire conversion/build. bonus points for not making a mess with sealant.
lmao would love to see more blindfold repairs, oh my, the hammer the forks was so funny , as i had to watch a few more times ty
Pat built my Ripmo AF a few years ago and it rides like a dream. He’s awesome!
Yes please more of this, but only if the repair guy really wants to. But it's mindblowing love it
That was a great video, definitely wanna see more
Yes! More please!! 🎉
very impressive, now do a full bike build blindfolded! lol You can tell he knows his tools and workshop area!
An excellent entertaining way of showing repairs. Come back with more challenging stuff and perhaps a prize?
Love the vid make more for us to enjoy thank you!
Pat is the guy! Fork service blindfold! Pat's got ninja skills.
That... is a Pro mechanic. Great job, mate!
