How-to treasure trove 1- General mtb concepts

[suspectdevice]

Little Known Secret:
I spent the summer of '97 starting a bike company and getting paid to make "expert" videos for the intraweb.

They are all one take, off the cuff no script kind of affairs, and they're shot by people that don't know bikes, but there is a bunch of great info in them, especially the mechanical stuff. It paid the bills. Some of the compression codecs they used suck. Not my fault!

And thus it beings;

Hey, don't you do repair videos too? The first time I ever bled a brake was to your tutorial. I never noticed the little spooky logo on your mech. shirt. Thanks to your video, MTB repair has become my favorite aspect of mech work!

When I can squeek in the time I'll try to stick the rest of the videos up here. The mtb suspension one down below is pretty informative.
As I have a few 20 minute spans I'll try to stick a few of the other playlists up. It would be great if they were in order somewhere. I don't do 2 minute soundbites very well...
I had forgotten about these videos entirely until I ran into someone in a parking lot a few weeks ago who recognized me from them. Eerie moment.

I remember seeing you in one of them too.
Thought it was funny.
