Used Downhill Bike gets Fixed, Ridden, and Named
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2019
- This story is as much about a used $500 downhill mountain bike as it is about Kevin's progression as a rider. Less than two years ago, Kevin started mountain biking in earnest. Up until that time he had only borrowed bikes and/or ridden casually.
To avoid abusing his enduro bike, Kevin bought a used downhill bike for $500, but it needed some TLC. With a very minimal investment, he and I got the bike running well enough to take to Windrock for a proper test.

When the trap beat drops you know Kevin is about to wild out
Btw why didn't you replace the one by to a 8 speed drivetrain. Why didn't you replace the chainstay protector. It looks really ugly. And it didn't protect the chainstay really good
What the hell is going on with that dude? Riding for a year and sending four to five meter drops.
When's new bike day??
Hi Seth !
Seth's Bike Hacks that specific build of Giant Glory does actually come stock with Sram Level TL brakes. It was the most budget build in the Glory lineup of, I think it was 2016
Ok... We all know this isn’t your first time watching this.
Nope😂
Love this video
best vid
that was awesome!
Hey, I feel like I know you from somewhere
Hello Jordan
You and Seth and Mahalo my dude are my favorite RUclips channels
For mountain bikes

6yrs ago I met a good friend by the name of Mike better known as "six-o" in the messenger industry. We both loved bikes and paintball. Mike rode dh, We began hanging and playing paintball. I mostly rode bmx and wanted to get into mtb. I couldn't afford a good mtb, Mike gave me his v1 transition bottle rocket and said here's a gift I'll help you build it. I know it's an old bike, but I love it. He began to teach me about gears, parts, setups and such. 2yrs ago my friend was killed by cops and I didn't want to ride anymore. But today I am more determined to finishing building this bike in his honor.
Lenny Negron that’s sad.. hope you finish that bike
Rip
Man do it for him he would have wanted you to finsh it
You go and finish it
You could also name it mike in his name👍😇
He stole bike parts for you
*me doesn’t mountain bike
*also me watches hours of mountain biking vids
Same haha
Coastal same
Give it a go!
I just started 3 months ago. Believe me, it's extremely fun. Nothing better than being scared out of your mind going downhill not knowing what to do and then learning from the experience. Only thing is you have to pedal back up.
Try to find a local trail, you’ll be surprised how fun it can be (you should go with someone who’s experienced though)
Kevin later sold his road bikes, gained $20,000 and had no regrets lol
Billy McGee he already did
Wtf really?
900 like
Correction: road bike
Mountain biking is cute yes offense
What doesn’t make sense is I don’t even own a bike, yet love this channel. Just a quality tuber.
Hes a good youtuber too
Same thing here, I’m a motorcycle and dirt bike guy, not a bicycle guy. But I don’t miss a single of Seth’s videos, he’s such a good RUclipsr.
Why not? He's a great story teller.
His videos are great for sure. But when will you finally give mountainbiking a try? :D You should know better by now!!!
Just kidding :)
Keyword: "Yet"!
“We had to use an old rear derailleur” mate that’s a Shimano saint. I feel a bit poor rn lol.
The derailleur could have been broken but still it’s a saint.
CliffordTheEscort saints hold their value well. Unlike XO’s
@@GTChucker86
Not true at all tbh XOs are amazing
DeadKnife532 not 2nd hand it aint haha. Earlier XO models go for cheap online cause of its liberal use of Carbon parts that gets broken over time. XO derailleur with broken cages and XO cranks with broken crank arms. The Saints however are bulletproof even The earlier 2008 models or the Hone models hold their value pretty well
DeadKnife532 no they are really bad
They’re like 150 bucks, Chump change
Who’s watching after drama died and was so happy seeing him walk in the garage
I am here and sadder than ever
Yes 😔
[*]
Yeah, may he RIP and be remembered
Yes 🥺
I never would have guessed Kevin was so new to MTB. Always enjoy your vids and really enjoy seeing you ride with Kevin and Bobo, the three of you guys seem really genuine and always have fun together.
I remember Kevin’s first road bike. I worked on it. I sold him some wheels too. 💖
Always Ride Ready, Never Forgetti
That's SICK!
Hello Person spaghetti
Lucky
Yoooooo its Elmo!
Kevin liked bmx for the thrill.
He like road biking for the speed.
Kevin was good at both.
Kevin was unknowingly setting himself up to conquer mountains.
(theory=
Yes yes yes I’ve been waiting for you to drop a new video I really enjoy your stuff and you have guided me to get into mountain biking
5:57 What is this?! IFHT?! that's amazingly edited
Except for the music.
Mahalo, my dude
Whats the song
@@TeodorKubena needs some thrash...
@Misho Stoyanov Song? Dude it's just the same 808 as in every other "lit" beat that was created in the last 3 years... Y'all must be deaf 'cause all today beats sound the same.
Looks like Kevin ate more than 1 doughnut after switching to downhills
oof
more like beers and burritos. A good IPA with black beans will also blow your shorts off.
Happiness isn't always a flat stomach :-)
Yeahhh but he's happy!
Yeah but I'm 100% he is sending harder than the hater trolls!
USA : used Downhill bike 500$
GERMANY: used Downhill bike 1200€
Sweden too
Tino Gru all riders in Europe use 1500€-2000€+ bikes
true asf im in germany
Philippines: 2000$
Turkey: 5000$
Such a touching story. A roady finding his way to the dirt
Truely inspiring
Steady is a beast! I had a great time trying to keep up with him at Bailey early this year! When you ride with Steady you get Progressed!
6:40 your gunna need a lawyer for that case
good one that's funny
Mate that’s a full blown murder, case, trial and sentence
You are gonna need more than a lawyer
Defence attorney is still trying for a reduced sentence to this day
7:19 watch his front wheel
Thats because in final cut when adding a bunch of layers in one frame it makes the frame distorted.
The bass drop has ripped the spacetime continuum
Damn Seth you are an absolute legend at uploads. I’m uploading today but you upload so often it’s insane!!!
Yeah he’s an animal!!!
Seth you are such an inspiration, thank you for all you have done for this community. Keep up the good work!
At 33 about to get my first downhill bike and I am so excited about it. This was just more reassurance that I am doing the right thing lol. Good on ya mate dont stop road biking just keep on riding everything!!!!!
8:39 am i the only one who noticed that?
Noticed what?
@@willshawyer7280 his pants being pulled down again👖👇
*HAHA* 😂🤣😅
Lolololololooloooololoool
Guess he didnt fascint the Pant
Love the videos bro! Recently I faced my fear and hit a big drop (big for me). You helped inspire me to go for it
Kevin's progression has been absolutely nuts. Got the chance to ride with him for the first time back in January for his first big drop, by the time I came to visit him in North Carolina, a few months later, I could barely keep up with him at Bailey. So dope to see it properly documented! And of course for Gallagher to get some much needed attention 😂
*rear tire barely hits the knuckle “HE HIT A MASSIVE CASE”
Nice to see Kevin's progression. I remember that video when you guys introduced him to MTB and man has he progressed monumentally!
I new Kevin was progressing his skill but dang didnt know he was riding that sick. Super awesome and pumps me up to go and get better. Great video and heres to the growth of @SteadySpin.
$500 for Gallagher and doesn't have to rent a DH bike anymore...hella good find!! 🍻🤘🏼
Walt Robinson I love buying secondhand stuff it’s fun to make bikes that haven’t been treated properly and fixing up to looking mint😂
I keep coming back to this video.
It's just such a good story, and such beautiful editing... great job, man. Serious stoke.
i like how you support your friends and share their history!! Sometimes it’s not about our selfs.
This was great!!! Love watching the progression of Steady!!! And yes....the trap music made it more exciting 🤘
Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Very professional. Thank you for the great content.
Love how u use older or used pieces to build. For most of us who cant afford to put a ton into brand new this is awesome and helpful.
Thanks for the inspo, though Im totally new to biking. That DROP THOUGH!!! Way to send it!!
After one year sending huuuuge drops like this is just awesome! 🔥🤘🏻
It's really cool how many different riders you have helped grow their channels through collaborations.
Chaps, just wanted to say; I love this video. Well done. It shows that you can get into the sport in a cheap bike and that having fun is more important than dollar
Thank you so much for showing me that video I have more confidence in myself thank you so much you save my life for mountain bike Ing I wish I could pay you back you guys are one of the best mountain biking channels
A Giant Glory for 500...
Damn
Great vid! As always!
Keep it up Seth!
Probably from a friend who didnt need it anymore or is sponsored?
I hit a new big jump over a rock about 2 meters long and all your videos helped me to commit to it like the pink bike drop love your videos !🤙🤘🏻
This episode never gets old.
We NEED more of these type of videos. Love this!
Dude I just love the videos bro I love your videos so much. I could sit down every day and look at your videos.
Mtb Blew his shorts right off! 😂
Convert them all
Man your Story Telling skillz in your Videos are Unmatched .. Love it , New Sub From NY
I have watched this video 10 times over the time it’s been published and I never get bored, all time classic
Your voice is so soothing, keep it up Seth 😁👍
For real though! Hes got such technical knowledge and the smoothest voice
Hello I’m a big fan from South Africa
Love your vids
Keep it up 👍👍
I'm also from South Africa
Pretoria South Africa
Ek is ook van Suid afrika
Nice Julle ons is broers van die kaap 😂😂😂
It makes so much sense though that Kevin started out learning how to jump around and play, then got used to going really really fast, then put the two together to reach his final form
This was way more interesting than I expected
Nice to see a downhill vid on seth's channel loved it thanks for the joy you bring us from your vids
damm.... he is truly sending it...lol.. that awesome... that red bull drop is SWEET!!! way to go...great vid..
i wish i had a friend like you to help me with my bike and show me interesting fun places to visit. your a good guy seth
Man if only my job allowed me to go “alright I’m going on a bike ride in Tennessee tomorrow”
Ayeeee Kevin Thats a lot of damage. Btw Kevin is Wheelie Good :D Luv ur Vids Seth
A 2017 giant glory 2 does come stock with Sram level ts lmao
lmao. I had the 2017 Glory 2. Brakes sucked so bad.
@@dhmtb9024 I rented one at my local dh park and they got super hot after the first run😂
@@donniethornberry7750 Shimano's new super cheapo 4 piston brake is much better. Not great, but better than most cheapo brakes.
@@dhmtb9024 yeah I've had a look at them they seem very good for the price
I got avid elixir r on my Scott spark they re so good for Wheelies
The Appalachian tunnels are awesome. Seeing this big painting of a mountain road get bigger and bigger as you exit them is beautiful.
Just drove from Chicago to Charlotte and the mountainous areas of Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia are amazing. The toll roads are worth the $4-8 if you're going across WV btw. They're super well maintained and the path you take is stupid pretty.
Love the way this was filmed and made. Awesome job !
When i saw this video i was like: YEEEEES! SETH FINALLY GOT A DOWNHILL BIKE😂
Same here..that seems a bit to good to be true..🤔
I just missed out on a $200 Santa Cruz Bullit not too long ago, I was bummed. This gets me excited to try and find another deal.
Watching this video inspired me to find a project bike, found a decent shape frame and suspension bike for $700, worked on the brakes and the shop bled them, replaced the headset bearing and tightened some stuff and it was good to go!
this was very informative! thanks.
Great job on Gallagher, Kevin's progression is amazing to say the least!
When ever I see when you upload it makes me happy 😃 as I’m a gamer but only just starting to go on bikes a lot more
lol i have earned my stripes in bmx (18yrs of street/dirtjumps/park) and wanting a downhill bike, this video really pushes my urge to get one.
Love how bike feel, and physics knowhow all translate across bike genres. Cant wait to throw myself down some rough tracks!
This is one of the most inspirational videos you've made for me! I'm looking for a used dh bike right now haha :)
Kevin's a monster! Cant wait to see him winning world cups!
I don't know whether Kevin is a beast or a slayer. Dude rips mad serious
Man Kevin has come a long way! Remember Makham Park on my old ex8 LOL!
You and Kevin both have lift tickets waiting for you at Alyeska Resort Bike Park whenever you find yourselves in the neighborhood. Love the channel and keep up the great work!
That is one impressive shift from roadie world! Many people who have been riding for 10+ years including myself still can't send some of those jumps.
I already follow Kevin but I loved this video! Hope he gains a lot of subscribers!!
I love your workshop and endless amount of spare parts .
Great video Seth! I watch your videos everyday and you inspire me to get better.😀
so sick that Kevin could get a DH bike!!
although when i saw the thumbnail, i thought you had finally gotten one for yourself xD
I loved the beat drop edit
Kevin is such a cool , funny guy . I can see why you guys are friends . That guy is gold , same as Alexander and Brian .
Sweet job in finding a $500 DH and great job Kevin on the ride!
That late landing pant blooper riminds of Brett Rheeders landing on latest Crankworx in Innsbruck XD
Love your videos it has inspired me to start mountain biking
Mr. Fortze same
So cool! Welcome to the club!!
so, actually, when i first saw this video, i was in love with this bike.
and now, about 2 years later i finally own one.
thanks!
these videos are keeping me alive in -30 winter
Keep it up Seth love your vids❤️
I'm confusion,I ride bmx but still love this channel! I even took my bmx trail riding! Anyways, keep up the great vids Seth!!
Brakeless 4 Life
Inspiring! Thanks!
Love seeing old toys get a new makeover. Gallagar looks mint!
Get that boy some stiffer springs!!
8:11 LOL I laughed so hard at that. You have a great sense of humor!
It's just facts
Ha! I just bought one of these today as a bike park beater! I saw this video years ago and didn't ever remember what bike it was! And you know, this is my first down hill bike too ;-D
That Red Bull jump looks even bigger in real life.
Anything off-road looks bigger in real life
Kevin drops the hammer, Sledge-o-Matic!
Seth:he turned out to be really good at not pedaling
The camera dude: has aneurism
alex does that alot
This video is helpful thanks!
its hilarious i have watched this video over 20 times idk why but its just the best video ever
this bike comes really stock with the level XC brakes , giant had a really nice idea
6:05 for those people wondering like me is the song Chain by Ballpoint
Nickrizzle_ bro you are a legend, just know a lot of people were looking for that.
Its the 4 time i watch this now, its so good!
only 4 im on like 8
Good for him. I dont understand whats fun about road biking. Two of my buddies started mtbing this year. They both have a motocross background. Ive been on a mtb for 15 years and they already follow me everywhere. They even ride more than i do. They are hooked.
