- Budget Mountain Bike Gets Upgraded and Sent Hard!
In a previous video, we started fixing up an old entry level hardtail mountain bike, only to get stuck due to poor planning. We were going to give the bike to a lucky kid, but to meet the deadline we actually gave him a totally different bike. That video is here: • Our FAIL turned into "...
This week, we’re finishing what we started! With a bin full of the proper parts that actually fit the bike, we’re going to build it up and get it working. Then, we’ll hold on to it for a little bit and test it out on our backyard mountain bike trails! Enjoy.

I don’t know why the “no drama drop” was so funny to me, but I could not stop laughing.
You were a good boy 🥺
same 😂😂
Do not like keep it 299
I lost it when he showd the sticker
I miss drama, why does everything bad have to happen at once?
Something the same but kinda the same. Thats what i like
Wow likes coming in fast
What da fak

"A little bit different, but kinda insane" - Seth 2021
The best thing I heard all day: "In terms of color matching on a scale of 1 to 10, this is green"
lmao
This made me laugh loud for real dude hahaha
Hold up, this video is a jojo reference. "I've got... sticky fingers"
My favorite thing was: This bike is either going to be for a little kid or a human
Caught me off guard
I feel your pain seth! I'm 5ft 4" tall and struggle to reach the floor! I'm 50 years old too so don't wanna fall from a big height anymore! I just built a bike for my son and REALLY enjoyed it so there may be a few more in my future!

Sorry but it’s accually “kinda the same but a little different”
Jordy thanks captain obvious
Stonks thanks but did I ask ?
"On a scale of 1-10 for color matching, i would say... green"
We did it bois, the smart has been found
Such Classicness
Stupidness is no more

I've always found hairspray to be the perfect thing for getting rubber grips on. It sets like glue when it dries, then will dissolve with warm water when you want to take it off.
Yep, Aqua-net was always near the tool box as a kid for working on bikes.
@@ljshoreslokal Same here but nowadays I just douse them with alcohol and slide them on.
I use windex for grips never tried hairspray before though
I came to the comments to see if anyone els mentioned this I've used hairspray on grips since I was a kid it works great
for me just ordinary alcohol disinfectant spray is just what i use when puting on the rubber grips
Oh those green grips are killing me!!!! Love the video seth
Seth: From a scale from 1-10, this is
Me: I'mma say it's 8.5
Seth: *green*
Yes 😂

Last time I was this early, Seth’s name was still Seth Bike Hacks
Ok
FUMANFUMAN wtf when did he change
bl jm litterally this week
bl jm he had a stream the other day, he said that berm peak got more searches than seths bike hacks so he just changed it
I'm sad he changed it
An oldschool tip from a retro biker: If grips or those "sticky fingers" wont get over the levers, use a little bit pure alcohol. It removes the resistence but it goes of by itself after minutes and after that everything fits. We used this with oldschool grips that were not lock-on but just rubber you have to get over the handle bar.
"This bike is either gonna be for a little kid or a human that's short" Is the greatest quote of the century and will live on through generations
we need to get a shirt thats says " something different , but kinda the same"
Yes
I support dis
Yess I would buy a shirt that says that
He said he's working on something like that
I think we already have that one but I'm not sure
Seth: “I almost forgot, valve caps!”
Me: *cringing at the sight of no valve nut*
8:04
Even worse that looks like the rim is designed for schrader/dunlop valves, so the inner tube is eventually going to get torn at the base of the valve stem and you can't really fix those tears. The absence of a valve nut could make this all the more worse than it usually would be or negate the negative side effects to some degree, time ridden will tell us more.
That's why it's called a "hack"
Me tooooo!
@Bob Longhorn not having one can shorten the life of the tube, but with a mtb you'll probably get a thorn or other puncture before that happens
It’s not tubeless
Love how you shred through the trails! way cool.
i have watched this video so many times
I'm a kid, a small human and extra extra small.
I love shredding and live in Tasmania Australia. I broke my wrist yesterday from going OTB on my old $100 hard tail with 80mm travel.
I would love this and spend every spare moment on it.
Love your vids.
Harrison!!!
I used to live in Tassie too!
Sounds like you deserve the bike mate best of luck to ya.
eshay bruh
I'm rooting for ya
sounds like you deserve the bike i hope you win :)
@@jakesampson4683 Appreciate it!
The fact that he added the sticker that said warning no Drama Drop separates him from the good youtubers, he is a pro
What about the made in china sticker🤣 he left it on
They call that CZcams Style, baby.
I'm new to this and had to look it tup to figure out it's just his drop lol. good man.
i have just came accross this video and when i was watchinh it i relised i have that exact same Giant MTB. Thank you so much for showing me the upgrades you can do on this bike much appreciated !!!
Very impressive. Both the build and then the insane bike handling skills.
Just got injured mountain biking with a broken collar bone and a concussion. Watching Seth’s videos made my day while I’m recovering
I just did my collarbone too, you're not alone
I just broke both my wrists... look at my profile pic
@@jadenr.11 oooooh that pic is nasty
I just fractured my femur from a pretty sick endo in a rocky section!
Torn rotator cuff! Lol seems like everyone is sidelined and watching seth😂
"either for a little kid, or a human that's short, like me"
Because kids aren't humans, everyone knows that.
Hey im 98% literally all of you won't see this but to the one's that do God bless you :)
Ps:I'm so close to 1.3k could you help me out ?
As a parent I agree.
As a kid I can confirm the accuracy of this
Kids are simply small sticky things that make messes, but you are still required to feed and water them.
Does that mean that 60 year old kids aren't human?
*i will never ever get tired of that diy trail jeeeeez!* 🤍
For getting the sticky fingers on, for similar tasks I tend to spray isopropyl alcohol on whatever is getting sleeved and they slide on a little easier and the alcohol evaporates off fairly quickly
Funny thing is, when Seth first reviewed the Sticky Fingers, that's exactly what he did to get them on. I was surprised to see him struggle so much in this video without remembering that trick.
"Let's see if there's any warning stickers on it"
Shows sticker saying no drama drop
That was extremely clever! Seths sticker not your comment! Lol
@@MikeR65 😂
Love the custom stickers and transfers!!
I loved that. Almost spit out my coffee when I saw that... almost
Wow haha, you really got me with this comment. You are so creative!
7:44 "this is ... *thinks* ... green" now seeing this out of context is amazing
@@javii.mov2 yeah imagine if it wasn't green
I've gotten obsessed with watching this channel. My friend recently gave me a mountain bike, however it's a really budget one and I plan to work on it and get new wheels, brakes, even a new fork because the suspension on it is awful. Watching these types of videos have been incredibly informative on how stuff on a bike works etc
Glad to see the bike get finished.
“Warning No Drama Drop” had me laughing way to hard
When Seth almost started to brush his teeth I was like “no problem, it’s still going to be just as interesting as him hitting whistler A line”🤣🤣
Hey im 90% literally all of you won't see this but to the one's that do God bless you :)

WOW
@@anythinganeverythingclips no
I got into biking because of him! Best lifestyle choice I’ve ever made.!
I got this same bike for about 5 years and decided to upgrade it the same way with a manitou air suspension fork, deore 1 x 10 drive train , deore hydraulic disc brakes, mavic tubeless rim wheel set, raceface pedals and a 150mm dropper seatpost. Thanks you Seth for giving me the ideas to upgrade my bike and make it a cool new bike again.
*changes name from Seth’s bike hacks*
...3 minutes into first video...
*Seth takes a hacksaw to a bike*
That was funny haha
'' On a scale from one to ten, this is about a green. ''
You're awesome bro! Much love and respect!
this might be my new favorite build video
The four horsemen of Seth:
"Today is gonna be kinda the same, but a little different"
"Almost forgot the valve caps"
"On the scale 1-10 this is green"
"This bike is either gonna be for a little kid or a human"
dokładnie tak
*The horsemen are drawing nearer*
Hahaha
He said " either for a little kid or A human that short"
When Seth said about the Trek 4900, that brought back some serious nostalgia!
Still have my 2007 4300😂

Why is it so satisfying looking at a bike build
I have seen this video for 20 times but I never get bored
Nobody:
Seth: There are about 35 different shades of blue on this bike, an of color matching, a scale from 1-10, this is...Green
love how you put children and humans in different categories.
655
Always
I just wanted to say thank you because of this video I fully rebuilt my jamis x26 and its way more capable now so thank you
My parents gave my bike away when I was in college, a Specialized Hardrock Sport (I think). I tore that thing up, it was great. Shame I'll never get to do something like this and kind of repay it for all the joy it gave me, but I like to think it found a good home.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, this is green”

Ik right
Me: *saluting when seth sends the drama drop*
Miss you buddy
Another fine build there,loved it, it turned out to be a really interesting entry bike to buy! Amazing to see you hitting the drama drop which is quite imposing to say the least when riding with a non-dirt jump hardtail bike such as that 👍🏻🙋🏻♂️.
Love to see old bikes being reborn.

i watch this 25 times idk why

The videos are great. The whole stare thing I thought I was the only one that just stared at my stuff after I fixed it i see im not the only one probably a lot of us anyway, keep up the good work. And yes ive watched this many times lol
That bike turned out beautiful. Thats a art, I'm sure whoever gets the bike will enjoy it
Seth: oh that’s was difficult putting the sticky fingers on.
The person that gets the bike: ehh I don’t like these *pulls out razor blade*
It’s great seeing Oscar tearing about the place at the end, that makes a meh week feel so much better
I was SOOOO glad to see you properly use your file!!!!

Waiting on my GT Karakoram Elite HT...watching your video gave me a few ideas about upgrading parts. Cool vid.

The production values on this video are insane! The rich get richer: Seth is pulling away from everybody. It really helps to have that other employee who shoots and edits. I felt like I was watching something on tv!
for anyone who is struggling with the sticky fingers: use brake cleaner, it slides on easily and the brake cleaner evaporates! Works like a charm :)
or alcohol, easier to find :D
Only slightly carcinogenic!
@@goncaloferraz1569 or alcohol of course!
Or hairspray.
National Killah brake cleaner is alcohol
You are so nice I wish I could find someone like you to make my bike better.
I know a lot but learned a lot. thanks!
BTW: you like doing the rebuilds more than a new bike due to the extra love it evokes. You know that.
This is now my fourth time watching this video, probably one of my favourites! It’s basically my childhood of fixing up our old bmx’s with whatever parts we had available. Keep up the great work Seth! you’re an inspiration to us all, young and old! - sincerely a fellow short human.
mine thenth time
Nobody:
Seth: uses Tire Lever to take off sticker residue.
Well it works lol
Hey whoever see this which will be like 0.1% I just want to say Dream big stay safe all and be positive and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true and you have a wonderfull life and ignore all the negativity and turn it into positivity your awesome i love all of these videos they are so fire and get better and better everytime never give up stay cool and people will say this is copy and pasted when no it's me just being positive just be your self and don't make other people make you change !
Well plastic tire levers won't scratch the paint so they work really well for that kind of stuff
We have a sharpened tire lever at every bench at my shop for removing stickers. Doesn’t scratch paint and way better that fingernails.
We need a follow up on the cheap fork!
It looks awesome!

Hey Seth, I heard on your livestream that you didn’t understand how I discord could benefit the channel. Basically, discord can be a place to chat with other mountain bikers. You could make different text channels like one to ask people how to repair stuff, one to find riding buddies in your area, a general channel just to chat around, maybe a Q&A channel... idk possibilities are endless. You can also add voice channels where people can talk with eachother which could also be cool. Thanks for considering it :)
I'd like to add more to this. I'm a moderator for a few discord channels so I may be bias to the idea of one. Making a discord server probably sounds like just another place to be overwhelmed by messages from fans and the like, but my suggestion would be to think about it less as a place for people to communicate with you and more of a place for the community you have created to communicate among itself. Like Thomas said, it could be a place where people could ask for advise and more experienced community members could respond. Another thing to consider is you could make it an exclusive thing for patron supporters at first so you could trial run it and see if it's something you think the community would benefit from.
I would be happy to help get one up and running, as I am sure many other people in this community would as well.
This would be sick! People could show off their bikes and share good trails
i would love to see this. I have some questions about repair on my bike and other stuff. Hope there's one in the future.
I'd love to see a video comparing budget Amazon air forks! Kinda getting back to the Seth's Bike Hacks roots of finding budget-friendly, yet quality ways to upgrade entry level, store bought bikes. We all know the forks spec-ed on these bikes are garbage and the comparable weight of a boat anchor, so a fork comparison video could be really helpful for folks in this boat... Great video Seth!
This is hilarious and informative.
Subscribed!
I really like this bike. Idk what it is but the geometry and how you you added the colors n the special BP touch. I really like it. I know I'm late. CZcams shows me all your videos every day tho.
As a mechanic I love watching old bikes get new life! I would say though for the money the Box drivetrain is not the best out there, Microshift has the Advent X which costs less, has more gears and comes with a clutch derailleur.
Thanks this helped me so much with a budget u made my year
Who else wants to see Emily shred the 4900 on Berm Peak now?
Me! :(
That would be cool
I've curious about those Buklos forks . Of course the price went up . But hey they are In Stock !!!

Love these kind of videos , looking forward to the next hacks video!!! Keep up the good work
I just bought an entry level mountain bike, and this video is giving me a lot of ideas on what to upgrade
Try using isopropyl alcohol when putting on the brake grips, it’ll just evaporate after a couple of minutes.
Good job man, bike looks a lot better
