this content is getting really close to art. good art! thanks
🥹🙌
Always has been, always will be.
it is art ❤
High art.
I’d venture to say great. 👍
We need way more of these kind of products. As we all know, cycling is getting REALY EXPENSIVE. It's not helped by all the bike channels hawking all the brand name stuff. Of course, the brand name stuff is GREAT. But usually, I can't afford great. So "good" has to do.
Great video.
I like all the gear
Impressed with your down hill road skills, the motor bike never dropped you,but bro ,the amount of glasses you wear leaves me speechless, proper fashionista!!
Please don't give up on us deal finders. We love this type of content!
Player I got you!
The latest should be right up your alley: czcams.com/video/kmAMAjCyKkE/video.html
@@EverythingsBeenDone You've piqued my interest.....

"This video has been removed for violating CZcams's Terms of Service"
Dude, you can't imagine how much I'm in love with your editing.
Pace and energy of your videos are just awesome 😍
This is genuinely "wanna be him when I grow up" moment.
My Man! You have just made my day! Much Love #Humbled
Sheesh, buy him dinner first.
just a Casey Neistat wanna be
This is refreshingly non-elitist cycling content.
Awhile back I watched your video for the Fizik adaptive (specialized power mirror, Selle italia 3d) - great content, but it left me looking at these copycat saddles, doubting that they were comparable.
This video was like someone giving me permission to try something I’ve been thinking about for weeks.
Used the link, and did the CZcams things.
Thank you!!!
Update: bought this and put a little 50 miler on it today, and my grundle didn’t approve. Gonna keep adjusting and how it breaks in. Not revolutionary comfort, though.
THank you for the uplifting words of support. I am Honored to be able to help along your journey
When it comes to Chinese knockoffs, it’s usually not the appearance or function that lacks, it’s the quality control that worries me. I’ve seen enough videos of how easily they bend, break or snap to not trust my skin and bones with them.
@@izzly42 how has it been? did it get any better?
love the vid, great to have people in the space who can be honest about this type of stuff
The POV segments at the end are the best reward for an already rewarding video.
It’s like the end of skate videos from back in the day.
🤜❤️🤛
@@EverythingsBeenDone Duuude yeah. A strong That's Life or Welcome to Hell for me please ahah.
Talent is making a video about a knockoff bike saddle so incredibly engaging. The script, scenery, music, framing, just wow Dustin ❤
🤜❤️🤛
FYI 7x9 rails will fit most droppers. You only need to worry about rail dimensions on side clamp seatpost like many specialized posts. “Normal” post that clamp from top to bottom can fit round or oval rails
100% true. I run a 7x9 saddle on my fox transfer
Came here to make sure this was said. Only thing to check is that the bolts are long enough (most are)
Another awesome video and your taste in music is so damn satisfying!
CZcams did a good job in recommending. I love how you create. Good job. Looking forward to more. ❤
DK - you're killing it, player. Keep up the awesome vids
Enjoyed the Germantown run. Whether on a bike or a motorcycle, that downhill after Skyline is so pleasurable regardless of the speed bumps. The perfect end.
DK the quality of your videos is astounding. And what a descent!
Always entertaining! I just watched the video a second time after eating a tub of ice cream! Now to make a bootleg video of your video if I can only find my glasses. 🤓
Fresh take on reviews. I dig it.
the end is the cherry on the cake ! Thank you
I am really liking the POV ending sections at the moment!
Love your vids - puts a smile on my dial every time
You had me at “statiated” and that sweet SG. Solid. 🤘🏼
First time on this channel, so much good stuff! Love it!
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent video. I've been very happy with my RYET 3D printed saddle. I might have to get one of these now.
Ohhh, my sister lives nearby that road up in Warren. So scenic! Very cool run down it - you pretty much kept up with that moto! 😀
Dude, Love the music, and the content. Ad oh, I love the music.
Because of your and other videos about this seat I purchased one but sorry didn’t use your link found one on eBay for 50 dollars free shipping. Took 2 weeks from China. Put it on my indoor trainer and took it for a spin so far seems pretty comfortable well worth the 50 bux. Thanks for the content and good information on the seat. 👍
Very enjoyable video and thanks for the sweet licks at the end. I do wonder if you might do a follow up after you've used the bootleg for a while, it seems like most bike seats have a breaking in period. And a saddle can be v comfortable for a 2 hour ride but get completely uncomfortable on a 4 hour ride!
Separately I would be super curious to see a behind the dusty scenes vid where you breakdown all the million places you stash cameras around Portland, but actually you should never do that video because I enjoy imagining there's a team of 15 camera people/drones following you around everywhere you bike.
Ah hem the team is 27
😂🤣
Great call on the saddle. I’ll continue to run this thing and see how it holds up and feels over the miles.
The saddle’s cool and all but MAN… the editing of this video. Superb 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a ton!
best content on the internet and it keeps going better! what more can you wish for 🤷
I was 3 minutes into the video when I had to press that "subscribe" button... and I never saw a video before by you... Awesome work, artful! I am excited to see where this will lead me.
Player You Sir just made my day! #Humbled
I like the self awareness comment 😂. I ride with a “Da Brim” on one of my helmets and let’s just say it’s a +10 Bike Dork buff, but -10 to your charisma 😂😅
Cool tip. Worth looking into a bootleg saddle then. Cheers! Love all of your outfits btw.
Cinamtography and music banging.
The bomb though, DK’s personality and wit. Always something in each video that makes me laugh.
Truly appreciate the uplifting words. 🤜❤️🤛
New subscriber - loving the content and impressed at the production quality you attain! Post helps cobble lots of things together, but you need good ingredients to go in and you have that! I am looking at getting a new bike and was referred to one of your videos and have been trawling through your other videos since. As someone whose professional life is production focused, I'm keen to know if you have a video or page on what you use for filming and producing your content? I know it's not all about the gear, but the footage from the setup camera stuff is great, your audio from those segments is also v.impressive!
Most entertaining cycling content on CZcams. Keep up the great work DK.
🤜❤️🤛
Nice editing and nice review. You make me buy the copy one.
Cheers
Ali Express is my savior, I saved lots of money on bike saddle, chains , cassette and TPU tubes . Love it !
This is wholesome.
great info. loved the ending pov video. Looked like Terwilliger Blvd? You caught up to that motor cycle.
Best soundtrack over YT! Hey DKlein, can you share some playlists with us?❤
what s the song title pls?
DUDE. Your editing is ace.
Player!
That POV was awesome.
I like the roads your riding, look awesome! Got my eye on one of those AliExpress $68 3d saddles...
Finally an affordable advice!!! I will stick with stock saddle for now as I am too lazy to swap it out, but will refer back to this for finding perforated saddles. One thing I am a bit worried about is durability as saddle breaking off and leaving only post under isn't something I want to experience...
I got several hundred miles on mine and its alll goood
I just recieved mine after only 11 days. Installed and took a few laps around the block, so far it feels great.
Love the report update!
Keep us posted.
Several hours on mine and I’m not looking back.
Awesome outro!
I bought a fake first, and thought it was so good a got the original. I now started buying original Chinese 3d saddles, Ryet is fantastic. I have to many bikes to be dropping 400 dollars of saddles.
How does bucklos compare to Ryet one?
@@jonhaldathe ryet that I have isn't really a sworks mirror copy. I have 5 different types of the 3d ryet saddles.. My lightest one is 130g and heaviest is 157. One of the saddles I don't like. It's to wide for my sit bones. I actually don't use the power mirror anymore b/c of weight. I'll probably put it on my trainer bike
@@kimwarner6050 Which Ryet model would you recommend overall? I don't mind weight I'm only looking for comfort . I also heard EC90 model is really good, have you tested it?
You need to do a review on Eyeglass wear. Or maybe I do, I have a hundred from all the online stores myself. Love your vids man. Bike nerds are cool.
Loved your videos man! But then i saw that you play a SG😂😂 solid video bud👌🏼
I cant put this axe down!
Just got one for my Poseidon X. LOVE IT
I have owned the original specialized 3D printed saddle for 2 years. About 6 months ago I got the knockoff saddle for another bike. While I think the real deal is more comfortable, the copy is very good also. For over $350 less, it's a great deal.

Thanks for sharing a great video. Keep it up!
love your vids and the work you put into them
ah yes a good ole wet leafy fall germantown descent. love those!
Man! That POV. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Sold! Thanks man
Any time!
Brilliant vid 😎
You were right about the saddle. Bought mine for $58 after coupon. Took 20 days to get it but well worth the wait. I thank you and my no longer sore butt thanks you.
what's the coupon?
It was some sort of special where I got $3 off for every so many dollars spent.
A cycling review video that's not boring! Nice work.
Thanks! 👍
I might look into these for my builds. Like any saddle you need to put some miles into it.
Love this, need more of this style of comparison video
Noted!
I ordered a 3d printed saddle on ali express last week so it was strange to see this video pop up in my email. Somehow I clicked in the middle and got the meat at the 5 min mark. Thanks!
This clip is Designer approved. ✅
Damn, the DJ bit with a cup of coffee hit the spot
Bought one, super comfortable !
Another fine video Dustin.
Purchased…bootleg style of course…
Both of my droppers support oval 6x9. On my XC race machine I have Power Arc. On my city bike I have even cheaper Chinese seat and it works fine.
Very nice content and never-ending licks.
I bought one too - slightly different. It was really light, but ride comfort not quite as good as my stock generic seat.
I copped a fake Bjorn saddle from aliexpress. Honestly the one of the most comfortable saddles I have. It's staying on my steel ride.
Hmmm.....Might have to give this saddle a go! The Specialized saddle is a little too rich for my tastes :)
Very entertaining content
Dude, you're extremely good at making content.
I appreciate that!
If this is how your content is all the time. You have a new subscriber.
wow great video loved that moto chase lol
Glad you liked it
Awesome video mate!
Are you using a USWE cycling vest?
Which model?
Cheers!
Thanks, great content! Just one question about the saddle width: Matte and glossy seem to have different dimensions, while matte being on the wider side. Do you also have the wider version of the S-Works saddle?
I bought a 'Zeus' 3d printed saddle for about €70 a couple of months ago. No idea if if is a knock off and didn't expect the world. Been riding SMP saddles for over ten years and I really enjoy them. But lo and behold, it's a really nice ride at about 35% of the weight of my current SMP.
It does not combine well with snow however....
Tip, I’ve had 2 carbon rail versions of these saddles. They were installed with a torque wrench and both saddles failed at the rail area. Because they are comfortable I got the Ti railed versions and no issues.
I have a theory that most brands will have to change after 3D printing evolves. There are already services that you can ask to print things. It will be very easy to pick up a model and sent do print. Much of the development and evolution will come from the hands of big brands and their production capacity and will move towards independent designers and communities.
I’m here to appreciate the MJ Emerica shot… thank you.
I have pretty expensive saddles since I experienced some pain on longer rides, but the solution was a sella italia x green comfort+ of 40€ -> now I can ride 3x longer!!
Shaman, good one👌
I sometimes say shmain
Another great vid. Who is the little saddle baggie by?
Good call. It’s from here: bit.ly/40wHovk
Loved the video but the one question I have about printed saddles is…. Do they wear through bike shorts faster than saddles with smooth tops?
I already go through bib shorts way faster than I’d like 😅
The outro is insane
considering most droppers are top/bottom clamp 7x9 oval rails work fine, i run spesh carbon rails on the droppers on my trail bike and my gravel bike
Nothing saddle related to share, just wanted to say I bought my first gravel bike a week ago, going from 700x28 fixed to 650x2.2 1x11. Haven't stopped giggling since.
Enjoy it!!!!!
like wise man. makes you feel like a kid so much gnarrrrrrrrr
Wait untill you try a full sus level of comfort =)
Yeah, one video in and I’m subscribing.
Pretty sweet vid
I got a fake one and I love it. Also, it is slightly narrower midway to the nose. So comfortable it isn't funny.
Cheers for a very, very interesting and informative video... I'll be following in your footsteps... Kind regards... Ranj ;-)
Appreciate you Ranj!
I have the equivalent Shimano 3d printed copy. Its great. Have it on 2 of my bikes.
Came for saddle stayed for the tunes and colours.
Such a Player!
I had one, it's so good. I ended up buy 3 more
I could scan the 2D barcode on my laptop monitor! nice.
Micro gains... I feel this is the story of bike development kit over the last couple of years at the cost to us. I couldn’t get along with the turbo... in the last 35 years of riding bikes it was the strangest saddle I had ever ridden.
What distance did you ride the knock-off saddle? Need at least a hunsky to really know how a saddle performs.
Hey man, great video! Could you let me know what brand your bar tape is please? Cheers!
