  4. RoniBoiii on June 25, 2019 at 6:59 pm

    I wanna ask question for you guys. Is Shimano Saint gear changer good for mtb?



  5. Richard Waring on June 25, 2019 at 7:00 pm

    Any chance the mouthpiece of the bottle could come with a protective cap so that when I am as thirsty as a lizard I am not sampling the excretory outputs of many sheep, cows or horses? Or am I not tough enough to ride a mountain bike?



  6. John Martin on June 25, 2019 at 7:01 pm

    Put cheap components on your bike. Expensive components will break and cost a fortune to replace



  7. CMW Chris woodward on June 25, 2019 at 7:03 pm

    Wow, the revolutionary GMBN *Water Bottle!*



  9. AllenMoto291 AllenYother on June 25, 2019 at 7:04 pm

    Definitely love ODI lock on grips! Nothing worse than having your grips pop off every time it rains. Odi grips were the first thing I put on my bike



  10. Hugs on June 25, 2019 at 7:05 pm

    I don’t think tubless is really a necessary thing on a budget unless everything else is good.



  11. Roughdraft214 on June 25, 2019 at 7:06 pm

    #1 tip: stop spending money and ride your bike just as is



  12. Tony Martinez on June 25, 2019 at 7:08 pm

    you forgot the chain it can be also budget upgrade



  21. Will on June 25, 2019 at 7:19 pm

    Not only that these aren’t budget upgrades, but they are just the same upgrades you list in every upgrade video you make! Anyone reading this look at their channel and pay attention to the similarities



  22. Lil Rog on June 25, 2019 at 7:21 pm

    If I get new handlebars will it fit in my stem?



  23. Andrew Rogerson on June 25, 2019 at 7:21 pm

    Shock offset bushings – update suspension/frame geometry. Travel spacers to lengthen/shorten fork. Also volume spacers to make the suspension more linear or more progressive.



  24. Caleb Allen on June 25, 2019 at 7:21 pm

    "Thirsty as a lizard" I love lizards!



  25. Hatchet D. on June 25, 2019 at 7:22 pm

    Can you upgrade a 3 by 7 to a single front gear chain?



  40. Markus Pedersen on June 25, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    Is it stupid to ride Downhill with cliples



  41. Bennie Banks on June 25, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    firstly, almost none of that stuff you can buy for under $10 and it was basically just a sales pitch for your new products. am i right?



  42. Annielyn Alkonga on June 25, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    HI SIR WILL YOU GIVE ME ONE SCRAP BIKE BIKE ENTHUSIAST FROM PHILIPPINES



  43. Gregory Andersen on June 25, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    UPGRADE ROTORS – saved 62 grams just by upgrading 1 rotor to an inexpensive magura lightweight endure rotor (size 180).

    2nd increase rotor size (& mounting bracket). Better stopping power & cooler running brakes. HUGE and cheap performance upgrade.



  44. Jay Bright on June 25, 2019 at 7:48 pm

    1×11 system lol budget got me a 1×8 system bike.



  45. Zack Austin on June 25, 2019 at 7:50 pm
