7:58 I knew I wasn't the only one who rode with a longsword! finally found someone!
I prefer the calvary sabres. They are super easy to mount to the frame. They also work well around dense trees and close quarter stuff.
@isaaco5679 makes a lot of sense, I tried one of those and they were way easier to jump with, and had roughly the same amount of utility. I ride with the Longsword because calvary Sabres are hard to find near me.
@@isaaco5679I just mount the hoops of my 1832 Sabre’s scabbard to my main tube, then when I need it, I pull it out, make ready and CHARGE!!! Sabre drawn full on cavalry charge.
@Amtrak_P32_AC-DM_712 another plus would be you don't have to stop to clear small limbs from the edge of the trail.
@@isaaco5679 exactly!!
Keep those beer tokens nice and dry in your pouch until I can come out and sink a beer with you 🍻 Cheers - Steve
That peatys wrap is sick 👌 Even with an inner tube it's so compact and secure
Cheers mate 🍻

Yep. And being able to take it off without totally removing the strap is better than the Dakine Hot Laps.
Why do you keep reviewing products that make my wallet physically produce sweat
Agree, my wallet coughing air just watching this video.
Sounds like you need the new Santa Cruz Wallet Towelettes, just $59.99 for a box of 20
My wallet has left the building
@@riesvanwijngaarden3417 I've heard they made space for 2 ingots in the in frame stash, if you have any left after buying the bike and the usual 5devs upgrades
To make money.
Love the long sword comment! You were an original inspiration when I started mountain biking a few years ago and I’ve continued to progress - thanks for being a part of that! Keep the great content coming!
That one cracked me up, perfect execution haha
Any video where Seth says “water” a bunch of times is a win.
Waurter
He also says Benthomville. Is that how it's pronounced?
He also says SHRAM
Wooder. Sounds like ChrisFix

It's amazing how often the "tactical" products are also just... practical. I loved 5.11 Tactical pants when my daughter was little, not because I need to carry extra magazines of ammunition, but because the mag pockets fit bottles and my daughter's bunny stuffy really easily. The big, expandable cargo pockets fit spare diapers, no problem. I could leave the diaper bag at home with all the pockets. The material is really well made for climbing and playing outside. Best dad pants around.
Is this how I'm FINALLY going to find a substitute for those 90s pants which had a trillion pockets? 😮 I need sturdy ones and I'm down to only one barely wearable set by now. I'm not allowed to wear the others outside anymore 😢😂😂
@@The_1ntern3tYes. As a 40yo product of the 90s, I know exactly what you mean, and yes.
Very clever of Seth to review the stuff he was already bringing with him during this this trip. It allows him to make a video while being away from home.
I lost it when I saw the S-works rentals 🤣 the manager of this place knows what's up !
Unfortunately thats the only frame they have that says that, and the spec is the same as the base model aside from the shock that was included with the S-works frame. Not sure what happened there, nobody at the Ledger could really tell me much about it.
We all know what you need to keep dry on the trail…pre rolls. 😂 thanks peaty
👀👀
damn, thats the man
long swords are so underrated. Super versatile.
A co-working building!!? I've never heard a such a thing. What a cool share! I still don't understand how folks make a living from their laptop, but that concept is amazing. And that building looks like a shining example. If all I needed was a backpack for the day, then I could certainly just use a bicycle, and I would want to go to exactly a place like that. Very cool, for sure. Awesome video, Seth!
You're literally watching/helping a guy do it, but you don't understand it??
@@CNYKnifeNut He means for regular people that haven't been making videos for 20 years. Most people aren't comfortable on camera. It's not natural.
Some people like building things and not sitting at a desk. Without construction workers there would be no buildings to work in or roads to get there!
@@RealMTBAddict It's not just content creators. Software engineers, graphic designers, digital marketers, etc can all work from a laptop from anywhere in the world. There are tons of options.
@@RealMTBAddictand without the architect working from their laptop the construction worker wouldn’t have anything to build
@@rob-c. Construction workers can work with architects, not the other way around.
"I typically ride with a longsword" got me cracking up 😂
Unfortunately the chin mount company doesn't make one for my helmet (Sweet Protection Arbitrator) so I designed and printed my own which does the same thing, and as long as your helmet has a chin with about a square inch or free space, it should fit!
Edit- if anyone wants the STL to try it out I'm happy to send it. You'll need your own VHB tape though, can't print that 😎
Send one to me! If it fits any helmet you should sell ‘em!
@@BermPeakExpress shipping across seas might end up costing a lot more than it's worth but I'm super happy to send the STL 😁
@@BermPeakExpress changed my mind, I'll send one your way and hopefully you like it :)
Theres a company the makes one that uses velcro straps thatll go on any full face. But awesome on you for taking the time to make up your own 💪🏻
@@KarstRats yeah I had one of those! Unfortunately the one I had completely covers the mouth vent, and it gave me an excuse to get modelling 😁
The Ledger is amazing. I love bentonville and living super close to it makes it even better.
I'd love to live in a more bike friendly city, bicycle commuting just isn't feasible in small town, nowhere, and that Ledger space really does look incredible. I'll have to visit bentonville sometime and hit you up when I do!
I love Peaty's products, their tubeless valves are sick! They also get great kudos for their environmental awareness 👍
Cheers mate, apprecaite the support - Honest eco credentials, No compromise on performance 👊🍻
Aye. My new bike is the first I’ve had with tubeless. Bought a peaty’s tubeless repair kit, so compact and good recyclable packaging. Excellent colour choices too
@@MikeTheYokel Cheers mate!
Bike heaven = Bentonville 😊
that co working space is pretty awesome with bike ramps. Not a fan of Walmart, but bentonville looks pretty darn awesome.
Bentonville IS Walmart. So you may not be a fan, but Bentonville is a reason to reassess that position. Really nice of them to offer the month to Seth-he’s an outstanding ambassador. 😊
Nobody is a fan of Walmart
Anyone know the price of Ledger? Nowhere in t their website
$450-600/month depending if you're okay with a flex "hot" desk or want a dedicated one. $40 for a single day pass.@@IronX77
@@IronX77 $450 per month for the hot desk membership
"I typically use a longsword" 😂😂😂
I swear every time one of these MTB Product videos come out, I spend more money! But no complaints here. Great work Seth and everyone involved that makes Berm Peak's channels possible!
i love that these videos are made at the trails i ride every day by my house here in bentonville. seth glad to have you man
I would never use that. I typically ride with a long sword. 🤣// Love the humor; and the reviews; and a $95 filter bottle pays for itself pretty quick bike-packing. Ledger work space? Never heard of them till now. Makes me want to get a remote job. Oh yah, i'm retired. Keep em coming Seth. I love all your content for your humorous delivery and utility of info.
"i ride withe a longsword" made my day
That Ledger Co Working place was super cool - I would have loved to be able to work at a place like that! Thanks for showing it to us (and thanks, Bentonville for making that possible!)
i was reluctant to spend that much on the peatys tool wrap compared to a normal strap mount but with chopping and changing between bikes its phenomenal, while using it you can also hang it open on the velcro strap so it can be stored while used rather than throwing it on the floor, i hope they make a bigger one soon
Cheers mate 👊🍻
Can it fit a larger multi tool. (Topeak alien 3 which is 8cmx4.5x4.5)
... Where are you buying peatys wrap that it's expensive? Amazon sells peatys and the dakine wrap for $30...
@@pastaalalamborghini considering most straps are £5-10 and you can get a waterproof leyzene bag for £5 or so, £30 is a lot for something as simple as a a little tool wrap (maybe I'm just tight) but its not really comparable, much better in use, much easier and more secure and the straps long enough to use to hold down other things (rolled up my coat recently and strapped that into the frame along with the tool pouch as I didn't have room in my small bag)
@@MTBstuart I've gone thru 4-5 wraps over the years and settled on the dakine wrap a couple years ago because everything else I ran fell apart in one way or another after a season or two. Decent wraps seem to be about $20-$50 USD. When my dakine fails on me someday or Im able to afford a second bike, peatys it is. Cheap stuff is usually garbage, really expensive stuff is usually garbage, it's all about finding that point of diminishing returns where quality and price balance for the application.
The production quality is stunning !! I watched your original berm peak trail build video yesterday, this is like a fancy tv show ! Nice work… Manfrotto makes a clamp from the photo/video world , c clamps we called them and a big pin or c stand arm all you need under $150- won’t work quite as well as that first bike stand but its where they got the idea! Standard photo/video equipment can hold strobes in interesting places as well. Traditionally clamped onto a pole and has a small pin for strobe, hope to visit bentonville for next years National Trials competition! We up n Burnsville training… Lookin forward to the next- back to avl?
I actually bought the Grayl for a two month trip to the Balkans and loved it. It's a bit big for 500ml, but as Seth mentioned it can fill other bottles. We usually ended up using the Grayl for filtering quickly and storing up on water. Definitely recommend, even though the price is a bit steep
Peatys stuff is really cool. Well made and his valves are in Chris King colours. I have also had a couple of autographed beer mats from him with orders... Oh his new tubeless solution/lubes work great as well
Cheers mate 🍻 Apprecaite the support
Great view from the top! Ledger is an awesome space and Airship coffee is excellent!
The guys in the Specialized store were a nice resource for me as well when I needed some parts and gear.
keep up the amazing videos seth good job
Awesome vid as usual. You are one stable in my mtb CZcams!!! Thank you for your work!!!!!
Every time I look at the Altangle all I see is a pair of Manfrotto Super Clamps with an alloy tube connecting them. They've been used in the photo/video industry for decades and cost about $40. I'm sure Altangle are using billet aluminum and CNC machining rather than a casting process, but damn, that's a lot of cash.
Another key feature of the grayl bottle is it’s actually a water purifier! That means it can remove Protozoa, bacteria and other viruses that typical water filters cannot. Great for international travel or areas that have issues with bacteria heavy water sources
I’ve got a great little bike tool kit with most things you need. The Wera Bicycle Kit 3, the Lezyne Torque driver, and the Park Tool chain tool. At 230 AUD (146 USD) it’s got everything you’ll need to put together a bike. It’s got 2mm up to 8mm Hex and T10 up to T40 Torx. 5.5mm up to 10mm socket, plus 13 and 15. A ratchet and a mini screwdriver that fits every bit. Plus the Lezyne torque driver fits directly into the Wera bits because they’re 8mm based. It’s a fantastic kit for everything you need. It’s also got a couple tyre levers.
I don't know how much I trust those little water filter things, especially with an unknown water source. I would love to see filters compared by sending samples to a lab to see how many contaminants they really remove.
I'm biased because I love bikes, but to me this video, Ledger and Bentonville in general are just more evidence that places designed for people over cars are just better places to be.
I use that chin mount for my motorcycle helmet to act as a dash cam since I commute on my bikes. I love that it's specific to your helmet cause the generic go pro sticky mounts don't always fully engage that adhesive to your helmet thanks to all the funny curves. I will say that the original adhesion is absolutely critical, mine fell off on the highway like a week in to using it, but I bought a leash that also adheres to your helmet so that saved it from an 80mph tumble. Personally, I super glued it back on and it's been holding for like 3 years of riding... Probably 50k miles or more so I think you'll be golden on a mtb helmet. Quick note, mine also mounts at the perfect angle for recording. Not sure if that's a design feature or a coincidence but I like it.
Nice job on explaining everything on the 2 different wheel sizes!!
Hey Seth,
Love your videos you should make a series about how to properly service and repair and build bikes would help thousands of people
Awesome video Seth!
keep up the great content!
*Well hello there Seth! Congrats on 1 mil!!!* 😁✌🏼
"i typicaly ride with a longsword" caught me off-guard🤣
I always love the reviews! Thanks for sharing! Woo!🤘
Man, I wish I could get Seth to do a video on Bike Sizing. His knowledge, experience, view point, approach and ability to deliver the information in a way that works and connects. not to mention the fact that he actually has gone through the process of customizing a bike to fit him exactly, plus his riding style is exactly what we're after. REAL RIDING not dreaming of pro level riding in one version or another..
Ahhh figuring out what bike to buy, then what Size, and if you don't have the money to throw away and keep buying bike after bike ...eshh
Go to several shops. Get several sizings. If money is the issue there are so many options to choose from. Lots of other people over pay and then sale their bikes at a loss. Get an idea of several good options not the 1 best option. There a lot of excellent bike that will not hold you back.
Dude I’m of smaller stature, and I’ve purchased bikes online without trying them.
My advice is when in doubt, size up and adjust accordingly.
You can always make your ride tighter but if you’re frame is too small, well it’s very, very hard to make it fit.
@@zjedinite man I ended up doing the exact opposite. Joyofbike recommended going smaller, stating that you can always just throw a loner stem on, but you can't make your frame smaller 🤦 only a few $$$ thousand dollars invest in my new Santa Cruz size Small
Make more videos!!! Love your content man. Nice work. I could watch alllll day!
I've been using a Grayl on my commuter for years. Of course I pre-fill, but many times I run across water sources that are suspect. Even from spigots and public bubblers.
Ledger looks absolutely incredible, wish you went into more details regarding membership cost and if it was a paid promotion/discount for talking about it.
This is an interesting question I should probably address in more detail. It’s $200 per month, unless you want a dedicated office. Visit Bentonville paid for my one month membership as I requested a place to work during the trip. Anything I’m paid to do (like promote Bentonville in the first video) I’ll always disclose, by law and for transparency. I haven’t had a bike or component sponsor since Diamondback dropped me over a year ago, and Visit Bentonville has been my only sponsor on either channel since then. I don’t intend on getting an ongoing sponsor in the bike industry, as I prefer the freedom to review and feature whatever I want without conflict. However I’m SUPER biased. I have friends in the bike industry, I’ve ridden with people who work for various companies and even bunked with them on trips. Even the Peaty’s wrap-I’m not gonna bash Steve Peat’s product even though I don’t know him personally. More likely I would choose not to review it if I didn’t like it. In short, I stand to gain nothing monetarily by saying good things about any of this stuff, however I would feel really bad if I hurt someone in the bike industry by bashing a product they worked on, so I have to be really pissed and feel personally insulted to do that. But Ledger? That was a last second decision because there was so much cool stuff to show, and so I asked permission to shoot there.
Glad you showed this. Even those of us who live in Bentonville needed this info!
200/month for an office space sounds like a bargain!
Access to a Levo for $200 a month is a great deal. They run over $5000 retail. You could ride daily for two years, save money, and have zero maintenance costs. I guess you could even work there if you needed.
@@franklee6301 5k? my buddy bought a canyon for 9k because a levo was to expensive.
Another great product review Seth.👍
That co working space is super cool! Never heard of anything like that.
If you want the toolwrap without the tools (basically just a wrap for around your bike to hang or hold stuff with velcro) you could use XL cable ties. Look out for the reusable ones, in event tech they are used for huge coils of cables
i use chin mounts for my motorcycle, itll hold a hero 10 with all its accessories at 150 easy. super solid mounts.
As always love the videos!
Thank you so much! This is the exact video I've asked for!
"I typically ride with a longsword" made me LOL in my office...
Me too!
That hand sculpture looks awesome!
I hope one day to visit Bentonville. Looks like a dream come true!
This video made my morning.
The AltAngle is awesome for our RV. Use it all the time as we travel to different bike destinations.
That’s what I was thinking of using it for
DANG that workspace looks nice. Thx for the reviews Seth.
I use a smallrig setup similar to the Altangle to hold my syringes for brake bleeds and tubeless sealant. Great cause it frees up hands.
Get what you pay for on racks... I had an existing 1Up Roof Tray for years, but finally got a car with a hitch. I bought the 1Up Super Duty double hitch mount, plus an "Add-On" kit, to adapt my roof tray to the hitch mount and Voila, a Triple Hitch Mount!
I freakin love thoughtful engineering.
So cool to see you hanging out in Bentonville where I live!
I bought one of those Peaty's wraps a while back on a whim and was genuinely surprised at the quality and feel of the wrap when it arrived. The man does brilliant work.
Cheers mate 👊🍻
@@Peatys legend 🤘
Your reviews are the best.
Got a lot of love for Peatys products, one the tool wraps is on the xmas list.
Your videos always bring a smile. Thanks Seth! Wondering how to convince my wife that Bentonville is a valid vacation destination.
Ballin’ with the piston pro❤
that kuat rack looks really nice and a lot easier than the 1up rack.
Kuat stuff has wonderful fit and finish, they are just crazy expensive
The problem is the price. It's cuts a lot of people out of the market.
Road tripping down this weekend for a learn-to-jump clinic Sat am with Anneke somewhere in SP! You could stop by and heckle us!
I've been taking pics of the ledger construction during visits for a couple years now and have not seen it in finished form yet - cool to see the insides!
I love these clamps! You could probably build a bike with just these things.
Seth keeping is helmet on in the co working space was hilarious
Hey Seth, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I’m glad you love the area! I’ve lived here my entire life and I’m a pilot. If you are still in Bentonville I can take you flying and show you the area
That portable bike stand is awesome!
Love seeing your video's in my back yard :)
I use my grail water bottle for backpacking. Works really well
The Altangle Hangar Connect is an awesome and versatile tool!!
Seth, man, you really are living the dream! Love it.
Bentonville looks like a awesome place to live.
Great video, I have to visit Bentonville now. Keep it up!
Man you should sell real estate Seth , Because you got me and everyone else here wanting to move there ! This place is awesome! Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it flowing Seth !!
owner of the shop I work at bought the Kuat roof rack, so sweet. Literally the easiest one ive ever used
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
been a long time subscriber -when did you cross the million mark? Congrats and thank you for such great content!
I have just learned coworking spaces are a thing. Thanks, I might actually look into those in my area
Would love to see a review of your great sword biking sheath! ⚔️
Learnt more things from you than anyone else
That place is heaven. Can't wait to visit next year for the first time. And if I ever win the lottery, that's where I'm retiring!
Thanks for the content Seth
12:55 "you can ride your bike to the top of this building"
Yes!!!!! This is so sick. Or at least it's a start. Lately I've been obsessed with this idea I have that tall buildings should have "hikeable" exteriors with landscaping. I love certain kinds of brutalist architecture (specifically, angular and sloping brutalist architecture that makes me want to climb it, not the big plain concrete box type.) I want to be able to hike up a skyscraper and have views and vibes similar to hiking the mist trail to vernal falls.
I bought the chin mount for my TLD helmet and have had no issues. It’s secure and stays put.
I’d be surprised if Seth sees this. But it’s worth mentioning that there’s plenty of Fanny packs out there made with built in holsters for a handgun.
Most of them also come with these little nubs that go in between the zippers. So you’re not gonna be fumbling to unzip and draw. Especially with practice.
The biggest advantage of the Fanny pack is it clips around your waist. Just carry it on your person as you ride. They’re usually more discreet too. Even more so when you’re walking around with your helmet. Just look like a cyclist.
I rode about 650 miles in 2023. Armed MANY more miles than not.
Congrats on 1 mil subs
Great video! Keep it up! Espacially the co working space. I`ve never seen that before. Greetings from germany!
This is the holy land. Definitely want to check this town out.
Seth that’s was next level info
Thank you sir
Love these videos!!
This Bikestand is basically two Manfrotto Superclamps and a Metal Bar with two Mini-TV Taps one the ends. This is basic stuff that is available for around 60 Euros in total, so basically the same USD. And you can even roate it!
I had a run in with a bear while I was out biking in capitol forest in Washington. I was really scared and didn't go back because I didn't know how I could carry a gun while riding a bike. Glad to know they made something like that bag.
I love my dakine hot lap gripper best add on to my bike ever I have all my tools in there and tubeless repair kit
Really good video, Bentonville look like a great place to visit
That co-working place is sick!!
