What's your go-to item to wear on the trails? If you're after a new favourite, why not check out our range on the GMBN Shop 👉 https://gmbn.eu/28b
Want comfort? Get GCN stuff.
C'mon guys, stop feeding us regurgitated content.. You've talk about what to wear how many times now?
Can you please make a similar video on body protection. I am looking for a back/chest protector for bikepark visits but I am confused about the many different types from padded tops to full stormtrooper armor. What should I look for?
Rich you keep showing off in that cool burnt orange longsleeve jersey but why isnt it in the gmbn shop..!?
An extra headband under a beanie works wonders in winter.
Oh dear this content is rather hollow,
"if you ride clip pedals then a clip pedal shoe is the way to go forwards for you"
Wow great insight there 🤔 maybe next you can do a video on how to tie shoe laces or a video on how to make your bike move forwards.
Honestly people if you can't work out the temperature and weather outside and dress accordingly then maybe you are not fit to leave your house and should get a carer
Really didn't mention about not talking to strangers, common if you need telling what to put on don't forget get yer mom stitch your gloves to your sleeves and mickey mouse ear warmers .you are early for April 1st nice try.
Ordered a Nukeproof Nirvana for about 77,50€ a few days ago, since I really needed a very light but weather proof jacket.
I get really hot even from just walking, even in winter, so I rather have some light weather proof outer layer and then layer up beneath for needed insulation with regular clothes, if necessary.
i like cotton on me upper body but not plastic, on the lower body it's the other way round. so tshirt and downhill shorts. when it's cold hoody and under the shorts some thermo undwear. bibs never, uncomfortable af, way worse than all butt pain in the world.
Rain , Hail or Shine. Fox shorts or Fox Long pants, mates bikeshop tshirt/Steel City Cycles, Fox gloves, 5 10 Hightop shoes, Santa Cruz socks, helmet. Simple.
I wear a summer attire with a jacket
I pretty much only wear long sleeve dri-fit tops and dri-fit shorts is FL. When it's almost always in the 90s plus you got stay cool but also protected from the sun and those pesky summertime mosquitoes.
Sorry I couldn't thumbs up. I don't want to be number 66.. you know
Southern California here! Bwahahahaha ; )
What about shorts and leg warmers at spring and autumn?
This some corny tricks into biking this guy doesn't know what he's talking about
"There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing" has to be the most British thing I've heard in a while
Nice 👍
If i wear all these here, in Greece, i will propably blow out
#GMBN Don't have much winter where I live, BUT what is the brand of your #GMBN hoodie insolation jacket that you all have?
In winter -20, summer +25. I find winter the easiest as I can fit all my guards under coat and pants. But in summer you are running too hot with torso protection, elbow pads, knee pads, shin pads and fullface. Am I the only one wearing protection?
When they showed the video of "winter" I laughed. That's not winter, 2 ft of snow over night is winter.
Is it more acceptable to ride muddy trails over there? Here in Michigan someone’s bound to put a hit out on you.
I just stay in my baggy jumper and shorts year round 😂
I live in central Colorado. There’s not a lot of winter mountain biking to be done here. In the summer time you just have to accept getting wet. It will rain for 30min to an hour around 3pm and then go back to being sunny.
Ski pants are great in Winter, with walking shoes, or golf waterproof trousers, just as good
New biker here. I find dickies canvas shorts are great as I already had them. Solid canvas for protection, breathable in the summer and nice and loose for movement. I have an old cheap windbreaker for the grey days which works great so far. But I want to invest in something a bit more specific for top half as it gets warmer. I hated sweaty t-shirts last year.
Do this video again for fat people. (PS – What was with the crotch shot?!)
But we have typhoons
Would wear a long sport pants to reduce injury not even from wearing
I got more injury from the sharp points from the bike itself than actually crashing or falling of my bike
What would be best to wear under the fox Kevlar pants?
The winter jacket ur wearing what’s the name brand. I’ve been looking for a jacket like that for this winters season rising. Some of ur other videos have the same jacket in it and it look crazy warm
I want a GMBN MTB pant… 🔥🔥😎
New to mtb coming from triathlon so I really need to ask, should i wear underwear when wearing mtb shorts?
Fox…just buy fox…the best for all seasons
It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I wear a Swoosh dri fit, top and shorts, dries quickly and comfortable too
Hehe you have a way with words. Nice tips!
In early-spring/late-fall, I like to wear normal mtb clothing but with (long sleeve shirt and trousers) with a lumberjack-type jacket (those red and black ones. It enables you to move a lot while being warm and very protective
not too heavy ?
Digging the poignant pointers! Cheers!
He had me when he said 'scorchio!".. come in Paula!
Shorts and a t-shirt or a hoodie does work for me most of the times
Everything functions properly https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of YouTube. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!
