The bamboo handlebars are NOT $100 (they're over $200), that was a miscalculated currency conversion on my part, but they're still worth it in my opinion. On the bike carrying strap, I think the biggest problem is the marketing. There are, in fact, reasons to carry a bike, but to call it a rescue strap and base it on a story about a guy with a broken bike makes no sense. I also forgot to mention that bleed funnel is only for Shimano or Sram, and I needed to use an adapter for my TRP brakes. I hope they make more variations because it's cool!

That battery pump would absolutely be the thing for one of the guys I ride with. He has severe nerve damage in his wrist/hand and so any of those "air pump" motions cause him a lot of pain.
-
As far as the bike strap goes, if you ride the entirety of the Arizona Trail, you can’t have your wheels on the ground in the Grand Canyon at all. They back pack the bike from rim to rim to complete the ride.
-
After speaking with the guys at Neutron I can say that they are a great bunch! They allowed me to give some feedback on ways to make the funnel more universal. I will have one in my pack as soon as they release the Magura comparable model

it's always a better day when seth posts

I purchased the Renegade from Riley ramps a few months ago and my kids absolutely love it. It’s also durable too. My wife accidentally drove over it in her Explorer and the ramp held up just fine.

Another sweet perk of the Fillmore valves is they can continue to hold air after breaking. I snapped the stem completely in half, and since the inner "core" just bent and didn't break, it was still able to hold tension keeping the valve shut. You won't be able to inflate the tire through the valve anymore, but it will hold pressure as long as you leave it shut. I got two full days of shuttling out of it before replacing it back at home. Great warranty support as well. Reserve sent me a replacement no questions asked.

Thank you so much Seth for your unbiased and comprehensive review! We are truly honored to see your valuable feedback. The aspect you highlighted, which is the battery capacity, is indeed crucial for our current product upgrade. We understand that our CUBE may not meet the demands of mountain bike users as it can only fill oversized tires once when fully charged. It is designed primarily for road bike emergency use. Based on our tests, we can fill 700x25c tires up to 80psi two or even three times without any issues. We are actively working on upgrading the battery. Our goal is to develop a more durable and long-lasting battery that will provide the same convenience and performance for mountain bike enthusiasts. Please grant us a little more time. Once again, we greatly appreciate your insightful review. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us clarify our goals.❤

Been using Fillmore Reserve valves for about a year now on my gravel bike. Easiest and most worry-free bike product I’ve ever used. A tubeless game changer!
-
I think that bike carrier would be better suited for people who hike up mountains with there bike and freeride down
-
I actually think the hike-a-bike strap could be incredibly useful, particularly if you're in an area where you would like to hike up a mountain, and then descend with the bike. I hike more than I MTB, and I'm always finding places where I'd love to hike up and then try and bike down
-
To me, your product reviews are the best. You are actually the only channel i watch product reviews. They are really entertaining and informative.

The rescue strap has better use for hike a bike trails. During the summer I hate wearing a backpack when I don't have to and usually putting the bike on your back is easier when you have the backpack to lean the frame so all the weight doesn't go on your shoulders. Here in Bulgaria we also have a crazy 5 day, 720 km race that has a few sections that you are required to have the bike secured to your back so you have both your hands free while you cross the roped section. The race is called Red Bull Bike the Balkan, check it out

I love how it is super obvious that Seth doesn’t like the bike carrier idea but he still finds a way to make something good out of it and not completely just chop the idea down. He gives it some real thought! Love the content Seth! Keep up the great videos! ❤
-
The bamboo bars and the swing bike seem like a perfect fit
-
Some criuser style skate boards are made from bamboo to absorb impact as it flexes much more than other wood. I wonder if handle bars made of different wood would be more or less rigid. Awsome video though! Love to see Seth's content.

5:06 Seth: It's just a montage of me carrying a bike in the woods, don't do anything fancy Also Seth when editing: flaming piano guy meme

I miss the old Seth's Bike Hacks days. I love how Seth is going back to the old days a bit

I snapped a frame at the BB while on a wilderness ride some years ago. Ripped out the shifter cable and lashed the frame together, super tight, and covered in gorilla tape. Set derailleur to single speed with some zip ties and limit screws... and I rode all the way back to you truck, very carefully.

Those bamboo bars scream beach cruiser, definitely gorgeous and the compliance would be really handy with rigid forks
