Can you guys do a video on how to change forks on a bike?
That’s how I had to clean my bikes for quite a while because I didn’t have
access to a water hose at my apartment.
do a video on maintaining a full suspension bike
Also helps a lot to use rag to clean gunk off rear mech jockey wheels
before doing the chain. You can also remove water from bolt heads using tip
of rag.
A relatively clean bike beyond most of our budgets, not to mention a 7L
bottle but I do believe its a 5L guess he really was in a hurry lol
Love the videos gents! I have a bit of a wish list below:
1) A parts series where you compare and contrast the various types of
available components of a given class, i.e., What kind/type of chainset,
stem, handlebar, shock, fork, derailleur (brands and their levels), are
good for you?
2) War stories from the hosts; I want to hear about your favorite or most
memorable experiences in mountain biking
3) Opinions on the state of the sport
4) Just for shits and giggles, I want to see all of you ride your favorite
trails on a shitty bargain “mountain bike” from your nearest department
store… this would really be a blast to see I think
I hope all is well, cheers!
What’s the point why not wait till your home so you can do a better job?
Guys I have an issue! I’ve broken my collarbone riding round some trails so
do you have any tips on maintaining fitness during time off the bike?
Is a helmet required to clean your bike?
It is the worst part when you want to have fun with your MTB. I ride almost
every day and it hurts so much that I skip it now and then….
mines still dirty :'(
Why don’t you just do it at home?
Did the dirt fall off the bike before he started?
Gmbn you should start doing kit reviews as well like helmets bags shoes etc
Dude, how many bikes do you have. Can one of the sadder viewers please go
through all GMBN videos and count them?
Or you could get a rack to carry it outside of your car so your not
covering the inside with crap and clean it properly when you get home.
Pretty sure there’s more than 7 litres of water in my outside tap.
Fertilizer pump, why didn’t I think of that…
Car park bike wash? i wander why you choose the title. it could have been
just ‘how to wash a clean bike in backyard, preferable yours’.
You refilled halfway through. cheek.
Marc, is cleaning your bike really that dangerous that you need to wear a
helmet?
But then how do you clean your cleaning materials?!
Coffee, Cake, Sarnies, chat about offs/near misses/how great you are, bikes
in car, mostly long drive home.
Then wash, but only if they need it. That’s how we roll……
And you put it back up on your car and it’s full of bugs again…
Marc, you get a new bike every month or two. i haven’t got a new bike in 4
years. Why must you make me feel so bad? :(
look at 2:32…it’s a puma in right side of video???
