What parts fit your mountain bike? (I won’t tell you to just Google it)

“Berm Peak Express”
Mountain bikes have a whole lot of parts, and sometimes it’s not so straightforward finding the ones that fit. People message me all the time asking what parts fit their bike, and so I’d like to think they did a lot of Googling and struck out. What do you even Google search? Is there a better…

Yes, this video is way oversimplified and at times, flat out dismissive of details. I know Sram and Shimano 12 speed MTB chains aren’t “perfectly” compatible. Some bikes have freewheels and don’t take cassettes. There was a time where no bike took a thru axle. You could in theory buy a 12 speed HG cassette which would be incompatible with Microspline, which I omitted. Yes, rims have widths too. Older bikes have rim brakes. Valve caps aren’t universal—especially since some riders are going back to shrader. In our original footage I went on forever about wheels and Boost, but we edited it down to a minute because it felt overwhelming and counterproductive. In the end I didn’t feel these caveats would be important to someone who doesn’t have enough experience to Google something. This will hopefully be a simple and welcoming way to get them started out. Thanks for understanding, and feel free to include more info below because the comment section itself is a valuable resource.
I have singelspeed what type of chain i need
Seth crawled so we can run.
I’m not kidding, I don’t know what year my bike is. I got a specialized rockhopper from a workmate who got it from his friend who got it from, idk.
Love your channel! This was a GREAT video. I saved and downloaded it to refer to. However, I do have a very beginner and very specific set of questions: I have a new Specialized Rockhopper Elite with Rockshox Judy forks. I know the head tube is straight. Is there a performance or safety downside to adapting a tapered fork? And either way, do you have a recommendation for a good sub-$800 fork to upgrade on my bike?
There is a lot that is not on YouTube or online or on the bike. Some of it is experience.
That was a very long way to not tell people to screw off and google it while also telling them to screw off and google it.
Yummy bicycle bike soup
😁 I don't really know where they shirts too
Seth is like me.. doesn't even know where shirts come from.
Great video. Im very new to mountain biking and ive been watching alot of you tube videos trying to get a grasp on things. Your videos have helped out alot. Very informative and entertaining. Thank you.

haha funny thing about seats, so I have a 30 year old bike that I really like to take everywhere with me, around town, to other towns and even offroad however I also had another bike that I didn't like however I really liked the seat and I just couldn't put the seat on my bike, I can't really say "I'll just have to suffer" because I'm not suffering and am still enjoying my bike
I will follow the help on this video, however, I do need to ask. I own a Giant ATX 880. It's from the 80s. Will I be able to find parts to upgrade this to handle trails and jumps? I've asked my local bike shop, and they said it's not worth it. I love this bike. I am comfortable with the frame, but want better shocks gears and so on.
I want to do the same thing you did with your friends son's diamondback. I saw that video and got all excited. Can I achieve this with such an old mountain bike. The original shock is a Roc Shock, but being from the 80s, I'd like better. The bike is all original except for a wheel, tubes and tires.
I can't afford a new bike, so I really want to update this. Can it be done
Try finding a 100/135 wheelset these days. It would be easier to find a unicorn. There are literally 2 on ebay right now that will work on my bike.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This would make a great series, with this being part 1. With the next parts being deep dive into cassettes, or hubs, etc.
No. Chains are not really easy to replace. For RB and GB you have to know the number of links, 116 or 126. Okay I admit, you can just buy the longer one and thats that, but the longer one is more expensive. Then there's the question of real and fake chain. OMG, i think there's a 5 to 1 chance that you're gonna get a fake chain when ordering online. Anyhow, thou im not a mountain biker, i love your content. Thanks for all the very educational videos.
THANK YOU
bike wheels measure over the tire size, not the rim. a 27.5" setup is not a rim diameter of 27.5 " a 700 wheel is not 700/25.4 in in diameter. bad standards
Very informative. Thank you.
“You’re on your own with tires”. Haha. So good. Great vid, btw
