I love high-end MTBs, so I'm usually running code RSC's. Imagine my shock when I put together a budget bike out of take-off parts and the leftover mt-520 brakes were easily outperforming my 4 piston XTR's! They just lack the fancy shiny finish, but for ANYONE, even the snobbiest of us bike builders, there's almost no reason to buy past the MT500. It has insane value for its performance. And since Shimano uses a pretty simple mineral oil system, it's not that difficult or expensive to get some XT or SLX levers with adjustments and pair them to the rock solid 520 caliper. And for builds I'm planning on selling or as a nice upgrade gift to my neighbor's shredding kid, the 420 is my new go-to.

Hey Seth I truly enjoy your videos and other content. I got into mountain bikes shortly after discovering your channel. Your videos have given me the knowhow and confidence to not only slowly up grade my Trek Marlin but also tear down and upgrade almost all of the parts on an old full suspension Mongoose to get my wife into mountain biking as well. Keep up the great work.

can this be another new series? I love it. Also thanks for getting me into MTB. I made so much progression in the last couple months after getting my first non-walmart bike. I went from barely getting close to clearing a small jump to fully clearing medium jumps and building some sick techy trails with my friends out in a local forest. Thanks for being so great at what you do mate!

Just started MTBing this year, and Berm Peak has been invaluable to me. I'm sure Seth has more fun playing with the more expensive toys, but I really appreciate all of the professional insight on the budget end of the spectrum, and it's opening up the world of MTB maintenance and upgrading to me in a really accessible way.

Hey Seth just thought you are doing great love the videos. Each day you upload it’s a GOOD day! You are the one person that made me start mountain biking 2 years ago. And now I’m racing! Thanks for everything❤

Great video, please make more that highlight reasonable quality budget friendly components. I'm too old to do hard core mountain biking, don't need and can't afford high end stuff but don't want to die from using knock-off parts that looked good in the photograph. Really appreciate you showing how to attach parts and what to look for, I've taken up bike maintenance as a hobby and am learning a lot from your work!

I had the AdventX on a bike that i tested for like a month. I wasn't careful with it! It shifted perfectly, chain never dropped even if i didn't use the clutch, i rode it without the clutch on for 99% of the time. It has 11-48 cassette compared to the basic advent 11-42 and a 30t narrow wide chainring up front. It is also very easy to set up. I messed up intentionally the settings of the derailleur and then reset it just for fun and it took me longer to make it not work then to fix it. 10/10 For the AdventX would buy it for myself!!!

Thanks Seth! Your videos are so entertaining and helpful - even for a fixed gear hold out! (No brakes!) watching your videos have inspired me to rent an excavator myself and do my own landscaping

So.. when Oscar showed up at the end I thought you were going remind us how amazing a value a dog is. The dollars to happiness ratio of a good pup is unbeatable!

This video couldn’t have come at a better time! I have been struggling with rear brake issues on my entry level Trek and was balking at the cost of replacing them with a Shimano MT-200 setup. Having been to the ortho I see that that’s a pretty good deal; splints are way more expensive!

Just upgraded my new-to-me Specialized Pitch with the 1x10 Advent set (REALLY nice), a cheap crankset with the hollow bottom bracket (also REALLY nice) and the Zoom brakes (amazing performance after my mountain trip a few weeks ago)... also new pedals and grips. Totally worth every penny for an awesome budget build.

Coming from the BMX world into mountain biking where you could get a sprocket for $30 and stems for $40 & $300 wheel sets all day, seeing $250+ dollar dropper posts makes my ass cramp 😂 this video is fantastic. Most people who buy Jordan’s don’t play like he did. Most people who buy team edition bikes don’t ride like that, budget and entry level equipment is getting better and better. I worked at Fezzari and had to remind someone that 20 years ago we were riding the same trails on fully rigid 26ers.

I can vouch for PNW - I had a more expensive Fox Transfer but could not service it without a lot of specialty tools. Turns out I had to send it in for $120 to Fox to get it back to feeling good and not sticking. On a trip right now with my PNW loam and it got sticky. Just threw some slick honey in the unthreaded collar and it’s back to perfect!

CST has been around for decades! I remember them making affordable BMX tires back in the '70s, which was great for the simple fact that my friends and I went through tires pretty quickly, and money was always a concern.

I haven't properly ridden my mountain biking in over a year but last time I did the mechanical disk brakes were not enough for me and the 70mm coilfork was nearly bottoming out. As always you videos are of high quality.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you from someone in the UK. I'm not far off 50 years old and have loved bikes since before I stated BMX racing in 1982. I've had times when I was more or less into bikes over the years (my first two mountain bikes didn't even have suspension forks - I'm that old!). I'd ended up at a point where I had a cheap second hand 26" hard tail which I could not get on with. I swapped out the drive train with Microshift 9x, the bottom bracket/crankset you suggested, and added an external dropper - and I love it. Although I can build a motorcycle engine I was always a bit mystified by bicycle stuff, but I watched this video and went for it. Today I hit the first bike jumps I've tried in the best part of 30 years. I'm back in love with bicycles and I wanted to say thank you.

Really cool content lately seth, love it

The manitou markor air fork is great and it’s cheap for an air fork. My buddy has one and he hits some pretty big jumps with it and rides it hard. I also have it too. It comes with 100mm of travel but it can be converted to 80mm or all the way up to 120mm.

I have 8 year old MT200's... They have been bleed only once in their entire life... On my second set of rotors and like 8th pair of pads... Amazing breaks

I really appreciate Seth making these videos understandable to people like me who know nothing about mountain biking, and also actually giving good recommendations for people without as much money instead of top of the line equipment.

Great video! If you want an even better value from PNW, they also sell refurbished dropper posts. I just put one on my 2011 Stumpjumper Carbon and it's fantastic.

Those cranks are very popular budget hollowtech cranks. originally marketed as IXF, they are replicas of the old XT cranksets...for best budget brakes, Tektro is also a good option. Often found in Trek and Giant built bikes, i actually like them better than the mt200 bcoz they have more modulation compared to on/off braking of the Shimano

Feels like a solution looking for a problem. To get a tyre off, you only need to pop the bead out a little bit (easy using normal levers) and then just slide the lever around the rim. Simple & quick, unlike that finicky glider, which you need to carefully install and push up on it so that it doesn't fall out. When installing a tyre, you really should not be using a tyre lever, that's just covering poor technique with force, get that bead in the middle of the rim and you can get the last part of the bead on with just your fingers.

Just remember that when you buy inexpensive parts, buy ones that can be serviced. For example: if you see cheapo pedals that have no rebuild kit, you're going to be stuck buying a whole extra set of pedals when the bearings fail. Meanwhile, if you had bought the brand-name ones, you could just buy a rebuild kit and service them. Pinkbike is a great resource for buying used components, older and newer, and there are plenty of these components that will be better than buying cheapo no-name brand components which are trash when worn out.

If you wanted to check out another set of tires, I bought a set of Fincci Pair 29x2.25 and they perform absolutely amazing! They have nylon build into them, and I run them at a really low pressure for ultimate grip on my trails. I run them with an inner tube at 20-24psi and I don't experience any flats, punctures, or rolling off the bead. It's a phenominal tire set for $60.

Both CST and Maxxis are brands of Cheng Shin Tires. Cheng Shin also manufactures for other brands. The original Snake Belly tires that were so popular on slick rock trails in the 80s were Cheng Shin. Some of the modern tread patterns are recycled from their original offerings, with minor design changes.

I feel like you made this video for me and the "winter beater" hardtail I'm putting together! Thank you!

Great video, always good to summarize all those upgrade and flip videos.

Just my $.02, I agree with your upgrades for the crankset, brakes and rear derailleur. When the crankset starts creaking again (after about a year or so) you can get a new bottom bracket for about $35 or so and keep going. Best thing about upgrading the crankset is going to changeable chainrings. One thing that is essential when upgrading a 'budget' bike is a good set of pedals. I happen to be using metal Stamp3 pedals, after breaking a couple of sets of plastic ones... Lastly, don't skimp on handgrips and even padded gloves, if needed.

Great video! Budget builds are a great way to start learning about bikes and can turn a big box bike into something rideable. I started on a Schwinn Axum when the pandemic hit, and fell in love with mountain biking. Now I build my bikes up from frames with all the exact parts I want (Ibis RipmoAF). Sadly, wallet is much lighter for it.

Seth is absolutely right about those Shimano brakes. I have them on my giant and they are great! They stop well, they’re quiet, and they last! Had mine for 3 years now and no bleeding or maintenance has been required.

This was a very important and very relevant posting. Many of us find ourselves, working, fixing, other people's bikes. Because they are beginners or just don't have the knowledge, we end up working on bikes that are not ours and the rider will not get in as deep as we do, thus not spend as much, yet they have crappy or old parts which need replacing. What to get? this article helps you with that question, what is a great value for the money yet a good part as well. Well done young man.

Agree those MT200 brakes are fantastic. Got some on a used bike for one of my kids, really impressed by the power. Had some Tektro hydro brakes on the other kid's bike that had no power at all, even with new pads and clean rotors. Put another set of MT200s on it and it was a vast improvement even before bedding them in fully.

You are such an inspiration. I am picking up a merida one sixty 6000 tomorrow and can't wait to ride on the trails

It does everything I need for mountain biking and motorcycling and so much more that I'll never need it to do.

Firm lever feel, no need to bleed them, no leaks, they still work fantastic for being 12yr old brakes that have probably never seen a service. Also The Hussefelt Stem was my Go to stem for building on a budget. The Piranha might be my new winter ride, I dunno...

Thanks for the Shimano link; before your assistance the least expensive I could find were twice as much. Also, agree on the CST tires, but Panaracer Fires are a good value too.

I love this video, Seth! I can't imagine how many people have been turned away from MTB because of the expensive nature of the sport. There's so much focus on all the expensive, ultra lightweight components, but very few big names dedicate this kind of effort to products that make MTB affordable for newcomers.

Surprisingly, about 1 month or so I was searching up the internet to find beefy and kind-of fat knobby tires and I came across these CST Rock Hawk! Next thing you know after I saw them I bought them instantly and installed them in my 29 mtb rims. So far I have only changed one inner tube and nothing else! I’ve stepped on sooooo many things and it’s holding on pretty darn well! I would buy these tires again for sure although they are kinda hard to push at first!

This should totally be a main channel video, so much valuable information!

Hey Seth just saying i love your videos and you are a huge inspiration to me and i love your amazing content and i just recently got a new bike to shred on! Ride safe!

Amazing video! Many people can't afford the really expensive top range kit, but need something capable. Thanks for making it

Hey Seth, Loving these cheap bike parts videos. I wish for the next upgrade of the "Kent" you go for the hubs. The ARC MT039 and Koozer XM490 Pro are great choices and I would love to hear your opinion on them.

So nice to see affordable and reliable components. Thanks

Thanks Seth, I others those shimano brakes. Wasn't sure of them when I saw it before. Have front brake issues and replacement seems the last step to fix it.
