  • Thank you so much Evan! It's been great getting to ride together for these past few months. Come out and shred with me in Asheville soon!
  • @intoyoursoul23
    Awesome idea, Evans. Juuuuust might have serviced the brakes, saved some money on that and taking a look at the setting and servicing the fork might have done more for the armpump than carbon bars :D Love the idea of the series, just my two cents is showing to people that with less money and better servicing they can get great results.
  • @camperhonsa8633
    I think a suspension service would have helped so much more than carbon bars. Either way this is an awesome series, keep it upđŸ€˜
  • @chrisjones7281
    It was cool to see new brakes but you could have put on new pads and a bleed. SRAM Guides are pretty powerful. I use them in the bike park and stop power is not an issue. Maybe you can use those on a future project 😎
  • @tracymcmanus550
    Love what you’re doing here. Great to see you supporting companies like Trail 1. Another good one is PNW. I was able to pick up new bars from them while they were having a sale. Completely changed my ride. Keep pumping them out!
  • @centralin2000
    as a german i am happy to see that you like "our" products so much, like Canyon (i also ride an Canyon) and Magura and Ergon. I hope your subscriber enjoys his bike.
  • Great video concept! I think this could be a really popular series.
  • @VACPOV
    Great job and very helpful to help out another fellow rider with some upgrades just makes our community better looking forward to your upcoming videos
  • @thinshadow
    Super awesome of you to do this, and I love the idea of having your video revenue be the budget for the work. Really clever idea!
  • @justsomeone9876
    This is just awesome giving back to your subscribers for there support and a new series cant wait for the next one
  • @a.s5774
    Helping a person with “trashed” bike that’s worth a couple grand and is a very good bike brand instead of actually helping someone with a actual trash bike
  • @timslim1529
    Wow dude got free upgrades and put the time pressure on you. Cool of you to do that man. Hope it comes back around for ya. You deserve it
  • @andrewpm2
    Helping your viewers/subscribers is awesome! Spreading the love and making it interesting at the same time. Great content my man
  • Super cool of you to do this for a subscriber! Love your channel
  • @Jan-Cort
    Damn man, from a great high low bike series, to this... you deserve to be a fulltime Youtuber in the future!
  • This series is a fantastic idea, I feel like many of us have deferred maintenance, mismatched parts, and worn out stuff. My bike could use a few things yet I continue to ride it how it is haha
  • @offdaystv
    Your videos and GMBNs videos are the gold standard of mountain biking content and information. I prefer you because you don’t assume we have thousands to spend on parts and I like your honest reviews. You are also fantastic at explaining things and keeping it interesting
