- Bikes can be complicated machines. They have tons of moving parts, constantly changing “standards,” and plenty of different words for what is sometimes the same thing. This week, we wanted to do something a little bit different and put together a quiz to allow everyone to test their knowledge.

I’m a broke obese 400lb Mexican but because of this dude I bought a GT aggressor pro and have a blast riding it around town and at the local trails.
Same
Its true, I was the GT aggressor pro
Way to go
Good for you man
That's awesome bro! Mountain Biking is for everyone, glad you're part of our club
I love the helmet question. Obviously 1 impact is the right answer. But in practice it’s more like “C unlimited moderate and 1 major impact” 😂😂
To be honest, I have crashed and had major impacts frequently, but it's never hitting my head. It's always an elbow or knee, and if I'm unlucky, a collarbone
Especially since it depends what you consider an "impact". I'm not retiring the helmet after a bee hits it
@@niceguy191 yup, and I'm also not gonna retire it if I accidentally bump it 2 or 3 feet to the floor.
from what i understood is kinda like... crash and cracks than its trash...
I thought the same. Had A, crossed it out for D. Should have known better...
You know Seth, I don’t think I’ve learned anything from MTB CZcams in a number of years, and yet your channel is the only one (of the many) that I still watch. Thank you for always being high quality, and always entertaining!
Seth: Take this MTB Quiz
Me: I got every question right
Also Me: Am i a bike mechanic now?
I got all of them right and I 100% give credit to you for teaching me all of this 😂
Same!😂😂😂
Seth is still the best mtb creator on CZcams
Real
No he isnt
@@CatTerristwho’s your pick then? You’ll probably have some good reasons, but in all likelihood, Seth is the best mtb content creator.
@@CatTerrist true. Southern Tracker Channel is the best MTB youtuber.
It's funny how the tire logo position idea has evolved.... It used to be that you aligned the recommended PSI reading to the valve stem so you could see what pressure you are supposed to pump the tire to.... But nowadays you pick the brightest logo on the tire and use that.
For Mountainbikes most riders have their own opinion anyways how much pressure they put into their tires (typically not really much). So the recommendation on the tire is not that important in this use case
The PSI rating on the tire states the _maximum_ pressure, but you really don't want to pump your tires up to that unless you want to bounce down the trail like a basketball.
@@Durwood71 A lot of tires give a range of minimum and maximum pressure.
@@mattgies I think my current tires are rated for 30 to 50 PSI, but even pumping them up to the low end of 30 PSI would make them unsuitable for most riding. When I'm on the trail, I run them at 15 PSI.
@@Durwood71 below that is how you get pinch flats. But that's not an issue if you go tubeless.
That being said, some of my fastest Strava times are from before I went tubeless and regularly ran over 30 PSI in my tires. Sometimes rolling resistance is more important than corner grip.
got all of them right and majority of my bike knowledge came from this channel lol
I always apply a thin layer of brake grease on my pads, not the rotors silly 😂
I personally apply a generous layer of mineral oil to the entire rear triangle when I forget to insert the bleed block during a bleed!
SETH is the reason i got myself and my kids into Mountain biking. I wish i had found his channel before buying used walmart "mountain" bikes. Would have saved me a bunch of money and time selling and buying bikes to keep my kids excited about biking
But you're biking, you learned a little something....and at the very least you were entertained. Lol
100% here, but only because I learned most of the answers to these questions from watching your channel over the years. ❤ In fact, nearly 10 years! Man, time flies!
The most important question for viewers to answer: Why aren't you riding your bike right now?
Because it's dark and I'm drunk ;-)
Great video! As someone with a bit more knowledge I feel like this quiz was a bit too easy, would love to see a harder version sometime in the future. Keep up the good work Seth!
I loved this! You should do one all about tires. I would love to learn more about all the different types and pressure and how they act while riding.
Starting building my bike through covid watch your videos help me learn to do so and was able to answer 90% of these question from what I've learned from you.
Even though I already knew I'd get them all right instantly, I still liked this video a lot. You should make more and have them get progressively harder. Add things like cantilever theory, spoke tensions on different bikes, things like that.
As someone YOU inspired to pick up mountain biking only a few months ago, this quiz was the right difficulty for me. You have done a lot for the mountain bike community!
I got them all right!!! also as someone who worked at a bike shop I can confirm that some people do try to oil their brakes after installation.
What a FUN way to keep us entertained! I love your content! Thanks, as always.
I just binge-watched the whole 101 playlist. This is very good information for people like me who may have been a cyclist 20 years ago but we don't know how to get back into the sport. I can say I really really appreciate you taking the time to help people get back into such a noble sport!
this is actually really cool learned a lot and really like the way you did it.Thanks seth
I don't think I missed a single question, I can definitely say it's all thanks to watching your videos. I definitely ride but I learned a whole lot from you.
This was fun! this is what we should learn in school! These videos got me and 2 friends into the MTB hobby, and now we are sending Highland and our local trails most days. Thanks seth!
That was fun. Perhaps a bit easy but definitely filled with good info for people to know. I think you should do more things like this.
Great video as always. Got the first one wrong thinking the angle was measured from the top tube connection instead of the ground, but otherwise got the rest of them all right. Yay. 😊
Would love to see a video on how to teach older kids and adults how to ride for the first time. A surprising number of people grew up without learning to ride a bike, and while a balance bike is great for a young kid, someone trying to teach themselves might be unsure about how to turn their regular bike into a balance bike the proper way-- components to remove, tools required, adjustments to make, etc..
Would also love a video on how to correctly size a new bike for you, and what sort of modifications and adjustments you can make if you're stuck with one that doesn't fit you quite right (frame too big or small, which components to replace if your pedals or handlebars are too close or far to reach comfortably, tire pressure and suspension adjustments for heavier people, etc.).
This info is probably already covered in several older videos, just figured it might be worth a revisit for the sake of new content and to have a comprehensive, up to date reference for someone just getting started.
This was fun! I got them all right except the last one. I guess all the years of watching this channel have paid off, lol.
I'm a bike tech, and I'm watching this and getting all the answers right and feeling so smart even this this is basic stuff and my job everyday lol
Got em all right, but I don't see how aligning the tire with the valve stem helps you find a leak, I call that into question, as usually tire sealant does that if you run tubeless, or dunking the tube into water after removing, or visual inspection for snake bites and thorns if you tubes, and check the rim/spoke nipples, and inside tire for any signs of damage.
When you find leak on tube you can then figure out where on the tire it happened and check if a thorn or nail is still in tire. That way you wont put a hole in the tube you just repaired.
I love these series! Please do both the learning and quizzes.
You don't even need a chain whip. the Cassette tool is enough. Just hold the cassete through some kind of thick cloth. Works every time, but you better be strong.
Impact gun, and glove.
@@8FunGuy8😮 I'm not putting an impact anywhere near my cassette never mind with my hand on it
@joelaw728 Yep, unless you have a bear's hand grip. I can imagine what a cassette at speed will do to your hand and a glove. 🩸
Thick leather lined work glove would work probably
Impact in reverse with your gloved hand on the cassette. Give it a quick bump. It breaks free, and you hand spin it off. For installation Hand tighten, then use your tquorc wrench to 28 foot pounds.
This is great. New mountain bikers are being born everyday. Content like this is needed to help them learn the basics of bike maintenance regardless of whether they do their own work or not.
This quiz was fun. Seth, you have a gift for clearly explaining bikes and bike repair. I enjoy your channels because I'm always learning something. Thanks!
Love it man!!!! Keep it up
Thanks to your videos, i answered every question correct first try. Ive learned a lot, and watched most or all of you videos from the past 4 years, plus some older.
Thanks for the content, and edjucation.
PLEASE make more of these!!! Love it!!!!
Oh BOO the way the last question was worded was tricky!
I got all of them right except for the helmet one. I chose C because smaller hits on my helmet are not a concern to me. Maybe after enough of them I would replace it, so if I read more closely with realized you said "Unlimited" I would have picked A. But one decent sized hit I will definitely replace it. Heck, I won't even inspect it after a bigger hit on my helmet as I know there will be hidden damage under the plastic shell layer.
Helmets are cheap enough that I will replace after any moderate impact. Just got a Bell helmet at Target with a mips liner for $35. Fits and looks good.
@@johndef5075 Yeah, I will stick with my $250 helmets.
I enjoyed this change of pace of videos. Nice job for a variety.
Great video, I've learned a few things, I appreciate that .
Managed to get more right than I thought I would. Thanks for the video, it was really interesting.
Such an awesome video idea Seth! I had a blast playing along wven as someone who's built a few up over the years; and the education breakdowns too! Rock on!
Seth your videos just keep getting better! Keep up the good work. You are inspiring guys like me that ride bikes for the fun of it.
I don’t care if it’s a ramp or a birdhouse but I think u should get back to some building videos. Maybe even do a vid on proper trail etiquette and how to fix trails so the Surron kids maybe learn
I love the bike repair and bike education content. There is plenty of clickbaity dreamy POV ride content out there, but these educational videos and flip bike videos are so much more encouraging to me to simply fix up my bike and just ride. I love the effort to keep the sport accessible!
Ever since Seth made that video, where he thought us to ride through the mud, I hear his voice in my head, whenever I see a muddy section of trail. Like a force ghost "you wanna ride though the mud" 😂
Great video don't stop. Always educational or at least entertaining!!😊
Amazing format/video! Thanks for the fun
I could be a bike mechanic 😅...lol Belize needs a trail head!!!!!😊
Thanks for showing the BikeCAD drawings in your videos Seth!
I was struggling a bit to quickly understand the terminology around the head tube angle. Probably being a non-native English speaker and not that deep into MTB stuff doesn't help. But I think talking about angles is difficult in many languages. What would've helped me understand better or quicker is clarifying slack = lower number = closer to horizontal and steep = higher number = closer to vertical.
Apart from that last question about headtube angle (went with D, none, it was indeed counterintuitive) got everything right!
DAMN YOU SETH....I had 100% right up until that last question (I picked NONE OF THE ABOVE) - got most of the questions right from years of watching your youtube videos (lol). Thanks for another great video Seth.
Would love lessons on shock sizing and interchangeability!! Whenever its time to alter/upgrade forks and rear shocks, its very confusing about what will fit or can be adapted to fit.
Just missed 2 questions, nice and interactive video, thanks
OMG, Seth found my multitool. Right there on the green mat by the coffee mug. I've been looking all over for it.
Hey Seth, I have an idea for a good old bike hack: disc brake fenders. 2/3 of my season is riding in wet conditions with noisy brakes so I was thinking maybe you could test if they would work so I don't need to in case they dont. Seems like something you could just 3D print and attach to the frame with zip ties or if you want to get fancy you could also use the bolts for your calipers.
This vid was fire; keep doing trivia
I've learned some much from watching you Seth. Thank you my friend
100% learned it all from you Seth. Would love to see more videos like this or maybe even shorts where its one question a day
I was doing so well on the test, but I know nothing about dirt bikes so I got that one wrong 😂. Solid video!
0:09 To clarify… the head tube angle is not necessarily parallel to the fork. The fork on your Big Dummy is a perfect example. As long as you aren’t using an AngleSet headset, the steerer tube fits in the frame parallel to the head tube angle, but the fork legs may or may not be parallel, depending on the design of the fork.
genuinely the best learning video on mtbing yet
This was a well done and informative video. New and interactive which is nice
I feel like I’m learning about Phishing scams with my company.
You just made me want to do a quiz and it was still entertaining! Respect
Greatly educational. Please keep doing these vids.
This was fun. All easy questions so today I feel smart. Thanks for that feeling Seth. It's better than talking to the kids.
Cool video concept. More in the future please 🤗
Thanks for the videos
Never used disc brakes and somehow got the brake question right lol
i'm new to mountain biking but the little time i've been watching your videos I'll become very knowledgeable even on the quiz that you did. I got only one wrong. Keep them coming.
I agree with putting the tire brand by the valve, but I personally prefer putting the inflation recommendations next to the valve so I don't have to search around for those (especially since they are black).
I like all videos that you learn from. Great quiz video.👍👍👍👍👍
Fun concept. I would like to see one all about compatibility of parts including new and old bikes of all kinds
I got them all correct, but ONLY because I've been watching Seth for the last 4 years. :-)
I got them all right! I've actually had the opportunity to volunteer at a local non-profit bike shop and didn't need any training when I started because I've learned everything I needed to know from watching Seth's videos on CZcams for so many years. Thanks for giving me my education Seth 😂
Full marks for me!........ Engages smug mode like Red Dwarf's Kryten........
This is the only channel that I watch sacredly
I like the look of aligning the logo with the stem, but as someone who swaps tires from knobbies to gravel tire (budget and space limits my bike stable. Gravel tire for paved grinds) I align the stem with the tire rotation indicator.
Seth I always find myself wiating for your videos! Love them whatever they are, but I would like to see some more riding if you could squeeze it in there!
I didn’t even know it but, man I love a quiz format. Got all but 1 right, didn’t think the tire question would be all of them 😂
Definitely want to see more like this 🙌
Hey man I just got into riding bikes.. I do it in the city and I don’t know much about bikes at all.. I’m glad I found your channel for the knowledge you share.. I bought a bike off a friend for 100 bucks.. come to find out it’s a Walmart bike and every bike shop will kind of throw shade at my bike so now I won’t take my bike to any shop and I hope to learn how to maintain myself.. and I just wanna say thank you..
If anyone gets any wrong, they can sift through all your videos to find the long answer. You're a genius 😂
Thanks, that was very fun, I must have gotten over half of them right but I forgot to keep track!
ride off-trail to avoid it, became slitly ride off-trail to avoid it, big difference
You should do thread directions on crank bearings and pedals next time, my friends would always forget that stuff 😂
As a bike mech, I would very lightly sand the pads on kids bikes so they dont ruin the new pads (200g wetsand paper dry)
As someone who has done trail work to fix those muddy spots Id absolutely want people to take the safer route and avoid it then go through it and get hurt. I came across someone that slipped out and she broke her femur miles out on the trail. I don't think it's worth risking getting hurt to save an hour or two of volunteer time In my opinion, but I see your point. I loved this video!
I missed the first one. But it was a really good quiz and look forward to another one soon. Can't wait for the chain sizing video in the future too. I am custom building a gravel bike for a race, and know that it will help me immensily.
The fact that none of these questions were answered correctly by hitting it with a hammer means you know nothing about mountain bikes😂❤
Absolutely do more!, very nice content, i had 50% right i think, the puddle one was a bit trivial haha
This was such a great video, I loved this Seth!
I don't ride mountain bikes, or any bikes really. I used to ride rarely when I was a kid, 20 years ago... Maybe more. But, I love the channel and the videos for entertainment. So... I only got one question wrong. I didn't know anything about biking before I started watching berm peak, now I know enough to talk to people about it and would love to get into it if I move somewhere where I can.
Thanks for being great entertainment, and actually of making videos of substance too. I'm learning so much by watching.
Great presentation. What the audience has come to expect. Thanks.
Me. A little florescent paint dab at the psi marking to align the valve stem to. That's me. I am most certainly not a pro bike mechanic.
I love how I can assign a video to every question.
Well that was fun, you should do another one of this
Loved it!
Too easy tho 😆
Great video, the more a rider knows the better his performance. :) ;)🚲🚲
Please do more of these!!!
If I could be more specific, could you cover more advanced stuff in bike geometry? I would really like to learn how the head and bottom tube (also chainstay) change how the bike controls.
I wanna see more of this!
I got all but the chain whip & dirt jump questions. I've never used a chain whip (just grab the sprockets) or a dirt jump bike
