Thank you very much for answering my question

A video id love to see is travel tips. How to pack your bike and some tips to do or avoid. Maybe even mention something about bike flight

5:45 IDK why but I find Neil saying "Hi" so funny 😂😂😂

Thanks for the answer. However, I managed to replace the spoke without taking the tyre off. I taped the nipple to the rim when removing the old spoke and inserted the new spoke into the hub. Then I held the nipple with pliers and screwed it carefully onto the new spoke, which I held in a curve to reduce it's effective length. One has to be careful not to push the nipple into the rim. Then continue tightening the spoke nipple using a spoke key, that way pulling the spoke straight. Rest is truing the wheel as usual.

Would love to see a video on "bringing your 26inch dirt jumper bike to a skateboard park". Cheers mates!

I'm 174 cm and I ride a medium Canyon Spectral. At first i wondered if I should have got the small. I'm now running a 35mm stem and it feels perfect.

Is it possible for you guys to do a comprehensive helmet comparison, please? Also the same goes for a full video on a day pack and what to look for and whats works well, what you need, maybe even some examples and comparison. Cheers guys love the channel.

I have a cross-country bike with an 80 mm travel and it does just fine but I'm thinking about upgrading it to 120

To replace the spoke without taking the tape of you just have to use a vise grip to hold the broken spoke, un-screw it from the nipple, replace the broken spoke with a new one. If it is one of those spokes that thread at the hub then you have to take the tape off

Yes, assuming that it is a normal wheel (with the nipples at the rim) this is actually relatively easy to do. You will of course have to reuse the old nipple with the new spoke, but as long as the nipple isn't damaged/badly corroded, and the new spoke is same diameter (at the threads, at least) as the one you're replacing, this is usually not a problem.

Yup, that's why I mentioned the ones that thread directly to the hub. Point being that there is a way to do it, but he didn't gave us enough details about his wheel.

I can replace mine without removing the wheel from the bike, discs or cassette from the wheel or tyre etc. I love my straight pull hubs, very practical for this reason.

Definitely come to South Africa! !

I would always advice truing a bent wheel, while the wheel will be fine with a slight buckle, prevention is better than cure so truing it up and there are plenty of videos on this. Doddy did one if memory serves and that should mean less problems in the long run.

If you're having an off day on the bike ! Stick some tunes on your headphones! I'd recommend Dream Theater FooFighters ! Septicflesh!! Or Tibetan Monks chant thing !

I have a hard time on a local black diamond jump where I've pumped so hard i actually bottomed out my suspension but i still case the jump... Just need more practice i think.

Today is the day I dont feel like cycling bacause I am anxious of the new full sus that I am buying.

With regards to the not loosing sealant question. I've rebuilt an entire wheel without removing the tape or nipples, which were still good and did not want to "waste" either. Depth between rim wal and the rim bed wasn't deep enough to let the nipple fall out into the cavity, which made it quite easy. All you need to do if changing out one spoke broken at the hub is to un-thread it from the nipple and then put a piece of tape around the nipple, lace in the new spoke and then start threading the nipple onto the spoke with your fingers while pulling down, then just tighten to proper torque from there.

Have you ever done the 947 MTB race here in South Africa if not I recommend doing the 2019 on it is great 👍

can you make a tutorial on how professional xco trains? how to improve climbing time, breathing techniques etc.

Can you guys make a video on how to build a bro dirt jump??

the guy who needed grip on his cheap pedals, try zip-tieing them, with the loop/connector facing up towards your sole :) #ziptieeverything

Am I missing it? When you recommend your other videos do you put a link to it somewhere? In the video or the description? If not can you please.

Pertaining to the pedal and shoe question, what's better to get first? Higher end screw adjustable pedals or legitimate mtb shoes?

I have the same problem as the subscriber who is in between sizes. I went for the large size and after a year i sold it because in technical section i felt it to big. It was a specialized stumpjumper fsr 29" xl and now i have a YT jeffsy L size and it feels much better to me. Also depends on the trails you ride, for crosscountry and light all mountain doesn't matter to much but if you need to move around the bike a smaller size is much, much better. I'm 1.86 but long legs. I'm L if you consider my height but xl if you do the size check from inside legs lenght (91,5 cm), so just in between sizes and to me L is much better

You can replace a spoke without removing the tire. LBS mechanic has done it a few times on my bike.

Hello, I was just wondering how to tell a difference between left and right clipless pedals?

I have a question about chain lube for you guys. What do you recommend? I've been looking at Sonax 804300 dry lube which gets very good reviews but would be interested to hear your opinions on dry lube in general. Is it any good or should I stick to a liquid lube? Thanks guys, I only recently discovered you but am addicted to your videos.

#askgmbn what do you guys think of oval chainrings for mtb? I have one on my bike and I absolutely love it, I think more people should use one.

Cable and hydraulic gyros (slope style bikes), Pros and cons of both? How to install?

I did my first lower leg service to come to the conclusion that i've used 5wt oil instead of 15wt. What do you guys suggest? Reservice with 15 wt or go ahead and replace it the next service?

you can repair a broken spoke without breaking the tubeless seal. put the broken spoke at the top of the wheel(rotate it), then take out both ends,being careful to leave the nipple where it belongs. maneuvering in a new spoke through all the others might be very difficult, depending on where it is, but it should be possible. with the spoke in the right place, carefully thread on the nipple with your fingertips and tension.

What maintenance should I perform to keep my telescopic seatpost running smooth?

I live in Oklahoma (USA). I am wanting to try our local Enduro series next year, but the majority of the trails around here are fairly flat and pedally. Not overly so, but not east or west coast riding. Certainly not like what is in the UK. I'm wondering if a 150mm travel bike is too much bike to still ride around my local trails.

Ah he might have been back for a while but this is the first video I've seen Neil in since his big crash hope all is well :)

Great vid👍🏼

@gmbn can I change a bmx into a dirt jumper just by changing the tire size bars and adding suspension

Can i use a dirt jumper in an bikepark like whistler??

what are the best tips for riding very steep jumps?

I'm building a commencal dh 4.2 from a frame so I need a shock. Does the mounting bolts come with the shock? If not where can I find them. It's a fox float x2.

someone here has used the ecc/novatec/bitex hubs? They look neat and all but are a little expensive so I'm doubting if it is worth buying a pair

Hi! I don't quite get it with today's bikes. I am in the market for a new enduro/ am bike and i don' understand the difference between them. For example Canyon has the spectral and the strive where the spectral is as slack as the strive and has as much suspension travel as the strive, and so the spectral is a trailbike and the strive is an enduro bike. So... what' the difference?

My fox rear shock keeps leaking air after I pump it up. I pumped it up to 160 then got home from riding down the street and it was down to 90. Is there anything I can do?

Whats tbe difference between a 'manual'and a 'punch' and how best to do either on an e-mtb.

phil kmets (skills with phil) hit crabapple hits on a 130mm trail bike, so for some people that dont know how much travel they need!!

How much can a XC bike handle when jumping, lets say 110 mm on the rear and front suspension

Hej. Can you make a video about trail riders clothes for colder weather?

One of sam hills old dh bikes is for sale at local shop ! Shout our empire cycles perth

can you help me choose ? :) i can get a 2007 giant trance 0 with 140mm fox fork or 2016 giant XTC for same price ? is the 2007 giant rance zero outdated ? thanks in advance

I ride a cheap hardtail but im starting to ride a bit of DH (I dont really jump yet). I really enjoy it, so should i think about buying a full sus or should i keep riding my bike untill i really need a new one?

at 7:29 OMG!!! WTF??? Doddy!!!! warn us before you do that!!! Holy .... I was eating! lol

@ask Is there a "golden ratio" between front and rear travel? If the frame has 100mm travel, what is the maximum travel for the front? Or is there a computation for the ratio?

#askgmbn whenever in the biggest gear, it feels hard to pedal. The cranks also don't spin freely (backward) when in the highest 2 gears. I messed with the cable tension, any ideas on what it can be??

#askgmbn i run a rockshox xc30 coil fork but whenever i land the fork feels really stiff (even on minimum preload) how can i fix this ?

Can puncture resistant tires (with wireframe) cause wobbling if damaged? (my wheel seems fine..) Also, why do my hydr. disc brakes vibrate? ALOT, like rumble, reset wheel / pads / calibers doesn't help.

Bring back the winter jackets !

#askgmbn Want to change tires to mud tires for the winter, my current tyre width is 2.2 and the mud tires i want to get are 2.25 inch. Are they okay to get?

8:55 What is you have a bike with silent hubs? Such as the NOBL wheels

Those 'metal bends' pedals seriously messed up my calf a few years ago not even the worst slip I've had. Get some decent flats with removable pins mate.

#askgmbn Hi guys. My front hub keeps coming loose. I have pulled it apart, clean and re-greased it but within about 40 minutes of riding it is loose again. Any suggestions?

Hi do somebody know a good transport bag for a scott gambler 730 (downhill bike) because I really want to travel with it and I don't have any :/

#askgmbn My rear wheel was perfectly dished and in line with the seatpost when I bought it but now the rim is at least 5 mm to the right even though my left spokes are on avarage more tighter than the right ones. What should I do?

#askgmbn I somehow manage to get tilted to the side when I'm in the air, jumping. I didn't have that problem until now...could it be something on my bike??

#askgmbn at my local bike park I crashed and then my dropper post stopped sticking it would go up when I locked it down and would go down when I sat on my saddle do you know what is wrong and how I can fix it

why does my freehub keep failing ? I've managed to get through 3 in twelve months.

#askgmbn I was hitting some jumps on my trek fuel ex 6 2007 and I landed nose heavy and bottomed out the forks super hard. Lube came out and now they won't compress at all.

#askgmbn My front wheel seems to sit towards the brake side of my fork, even if I set it in and tighten it up central in the fork/dropouts, the moment I touch the front brake it is back towards the brake and doesn't return all the way. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks

#askgmbn I just bought new clip shoe that have a bow systeme on it , I was curious to know " are they solid ? " and " what happen if it smashes on a rock ?" is the shoe finished after this ?

That jump is defiantly in morzine. Saw probably the worst crash I've ever seen on it about two weeks ago. Guy went over the bars on the landing and snapped them in the process. Took them nearly 2 hours to get the poor guy into a condition where they could air lift him from the mountain.

#askgmbn Lately my brakes have been making a "squelchy" sound (my best description). It's not brake squeal, like when they're wet. It sounds as if the rotor is loose, but it isn't. Everything is nice and tight. We've got SUPER dry conditions in BC right now. Could it have something to do with the heat?

how easy is it to clip out of crank brother cleats

I am 14 so I don't want to invest in a bike that will be to small in a year so thats the problem. thanks so much for your help

#askgmbn. Is there such a thing as too much traction on your tires? I run Continental trail kings and they pick up rock and sticks and throw them at me, as I ride. I also have troubles getting the tires to break loose around corners.

1080 p 50 fps has problems guys i dont have bad pc specs by the way is there any aswer you can give ?

#askgmbn Is it worth upgrading my fork? i have a entrylevel hardtail with a not so good coil fork. I ride a lot of street but i also ride some trails and most of the trails i ride has a lot of roots. If so is it worth getting a new wheel in the front and a fork with a 15mm axle or should i stick with a quickrelease? (If anyone has any recommendations for a fork that would be nice, preferably air)

Has Doddy been driving an Ariel Atom without wearing a helmet? His hair is looking more swept back than ever. Great vid guys. As ever. And grippy shoes? Get a pair of 5.10 and you'll never want anything else as long as you ride flat pedals.

#askgmbn I have recently baught a specialized demo with a bos idylle rare air fork and i have a probleme on it I rode it since 3 days without any problems and now the fork is at 20% of the 200 mm and it works nice but when i pull/extend it the fork get back to the 20% I looked on internet and it was talking about the positive and negative chamber but i dont want to disassemble it What to do /have you got any answer

I have recently returned to mountain biking after a few years off, I ride mainly on local trails/XC currently and have a 2005 Marin Wildcat trail hardtail. It is in excellent condition and for its age the frame design geometry brakes etc. don’t look that out-dated. I remember the design was radical back then. I have just replaced the complete drive train bearings, tubeless tyres etc. Would a new 2017 Whyte 901 for instance be a big step forward (£1k on offer at the moment) can’t really stretch to a FS bike would prefer a good spec hardtail over a low spec heavy FS bike. What do you think? Is it to time to replace it or stick with it for a bit longer? Maybe save up for a FS bike?

Hi Boys, I have a Shimano 2x10 drivetrain. I want to change it to a Sram GX Eagle. I wanted to have it with a 36t chainring and I noticed I already have a 36t chainring.
