[spiderjoe666]

the commercials piss me off

[Kelly14UK]

YOU CAN'T BEAT A GOOD, FAST TOURER.

[Sowyyoudead11]

His description of the types of bikes LOL he talked about 3 and its the 3 that everyone knows about... what about cyclocross bikes might be interesting to knoww about those lol

[dwgraham106]

bike NOOBS

[ivanmatearajkov]

its not actually da comfier

[ZachmanTheFisherman]

@willzrocks it depends on where you live and if you want to have it prebuilt than you have to go to a cycle shop. If you don't mind building it your self than i believe bicycle ware house carries specialized bikes. hope this helps

[bibles123]

wat about bmx?!?!?!?!?!

[orengard2]

@bibles123 i don't think specialized very popular with bmx

[zerordie95]

@bibles123 specialized has a few bmx bikes in the P. series

[anduthinkurright]

LOL...he's mentioning about "specialized" type of bikes not the brand!! dumbass!

[chris55268]

im thinking of starting offroad jumps anyone kno any good inexpensive bikes for beginnners?

[rubiks15]

@chris55268

My brother has a" Specialized P. all mountain disc". Its pretty good for off road jumping and shouldn't be to hard to use. It also depends on how much your willing to drop on a new bike.

[ConnoR303]

@chris55268

good and inexpensive are two words that do not mix with bikes. either you get a cheap one which will fall apart very quickly or pay a fair amount for something that will do the job right.

but I'd recommend going on ebay and just having a browse round.

[hottie4eva980]

what about cruisers!!!??!!

[bikebeerrun1960]

Hybrids not great at any one thing!? with a few choice extras they make great commuter/utility riders,check out my channel to see;(blatent plug)LOL :-)

[LiLLinz28]

[cuevarap]

Top of the art brands have so much to offer first world biking demands. How are they doing in South America? Be surprised by googling Caloi Bikes.

[icanhaslego]

why would you want a bike with only rear suspension? 1:49

[Taupofreeride]

HOLY SHIT!!!!! there are different types of bikes!!! far out! thats a shock!!!!, i always thought everyone rode the same bike.... hmm makes me think this is made for brain dead people... cough HICK cough cough,

[incognitotec]

i dont learn any thing

this video sucks

[JirkaStanek555]

you sucks

[FUSER2K07]

this video didn't really give me anything i didn't already know about bikes.

and for the people who don't actually know much about bikes either i am sure they would understand what a fucking hybrid is & what a ''Mountain bike'' is used for or where you would use a ''road bike'' this video is rubbish lol

[IckyThump101]

hybrids are fucking shit. cant do anything well. exp. be shit

[wungabunga]

They are for gay homosexuals. GAy ones.

[stuprestonexperience]

LOL this vid dont really tell you much about Spesh bikes TBH

[optimum24]

ridgeback storm 08 4 sale west london. fast and smooth with hyraulic disc breaks only£190 excellente condition. receipt & manuals included. this is a £500 hybrid bicycle. drop me a line its a absolute gem!!

[JokerPokerUberSmoker]

14 "ehm" in 1.39 so 1 ehm every 10 second at this video allso :D

[willzrocks]

Where are the Specialized?

[futuref22pilot]

i think he's talking about the different types of bikes. like a mountain bike is specialized for rough terrain. But, i could be wrong.

[dangerouspowerG3sper]

its a brand

[Morrisseyhead]

This is stupid! if you don't know your differences between bikes and bike use- you have no business buying one!!!

[nnnero21]

Relax dude, sure its bike101, but you gotta start somewhere right?

[Morrisseyhead]

It's more like Bike pre-school for special kids.

[imbrd]

dude- chill not everyone knows this stuff- like not everyone knows about computers & linuxes but u can learn it slowly. i didnt exactly know all about specialized road bikes, hybrids, & suspensions till few weeks ago but now i know some. no one knows everything so just chill a bit

[DeeptaPatel1980]

Dude... stop taking PROZAC... not good for you.

Not everybody lives in the bicycle world. Trust me you have no idea the difference between Meteorology vs. Climatology.

That's the reason why there is bike101, computer101, diy101, and etc.

Some people wants to learn.

Got my point ?

[fordieform]

lol

pozzit

-hero

[TimpBizkit]

I have a Giant Yukon MTB with slick tyres. Enough gear ratios for the steepest of hills and high speed too. I guess my setup is closer to a hybrid.

[piftorres]

I just got a GT avalanche 3.0, hard trail bike, how you would rate it? I cant aford a $3000 bike.

[zasqack001]

Um about a 4 out of 5 i would have gone with a specialized rockhopper or hardrock but its the brand loyalty thing, i've always ridden a specialized. When it really matters is when you get up to high end. 99.99% of bikes like the avalanche are the same. They all have a shimano 7 or 8 speed gearing, roughly the same frame with a different name, and a low end fork. Fun and affordable! You're next step would probably be a Specialized Rockhopper or GT Avalanche 1 or Trek 6500

[recoveredperv]

Expertvillage?? more like Elementaryvillage. If you found this video increased your knowledge of bikes, you are not ready to buy a bike.

[ImDino]

totally, an educational video on what bike you need should be AT LEAST 20 minutes long, with fast talk that is.

[hawaiiancookie]

hybrids are for people like this guy

SUCK IT

[ernestogherra]

hey bro i need you're opinion i have a specialized hardrock sport rims 26" and frame 19".

my stature is 1.68 mts the size of the bike is the correct?? please help me

[bmx0524]

did you know you also have a bike called a bmx :S i have like all of them bikes

[demoownsmtb]

ummmm... dh and freeride bikes r made for going fast 2 ha ha

[JoeyoftheYear]

SPECIALIZED FTW!!!!! XD

[alexayal]

Buy Fisher!!!! Frames rock

[silverguitar88]

KONA ARE WAY BETTER

[MASTERCON12]

why? their paint jobs suck, and their suspension design makes me feel like I am on a pogo stick. Nice grammar, dude.

[SimonBMXstreet]

kona isn´t better than specialized if that´s what u meant.

And KONA doesn´t make forks..

[MASTERCON12]

They design frames that have shocks on them. their full suspension frames and bikes suck ass. especially their cross country models like the dawg. I don't really like kona or specialized, even though at the bike shop I worked at, we primarily sold kona bikes. I currently own a surly 1x1, and it was my first mountain bike. honestly, I think suspension and gears are bullshit, but that is my opinion and not necessarily yours. and I am fine with that. I am too lazy to capitalize these sentences btw.

[silverguitar88]

dont even talk about biking when u dont know what kona's primary cross country bike is!

[silverguitar88]

mabye u should learn to dial ur suspension right!

[MASTERCON12]

I know five people that ride the dawg and the dawg supreme as a cross-country bike. Full suspension bikes climb like shit, and the kona duelies somehow managed to pedal like shit on level ground. GT and Intense's I-Drive suspension design allows the bike to be pedaled up hill very efficiently, even compared to hardtails. Like I said before, I hate gears and shocks with a passion, because I feel that unless you are doing 6 foot drops(I can only do 5 on my surly)You don't need gears or suspension.

[ImDino]

wanna suck some dick too? GET OUTTA HERE!

[IntrepidKartRacer]

HOW TO BUY A BICYCLE: pick one out. try it. if you like it, you take it up to the cashier and you purchase it with paper or plastic. hahahahahaha. the best bike store is ERIK's Bike Shop. oh my god- i didnt know that there were different types if bikes!!!!!

[silverguitar88]

KONA are the best Bikes!! they are tuff as nails

[bedbugg1]

no! specialized are! RAAA!

[bumblesbounce54321]

i like the specialized

[frogger2222]

when i hit nails with they bend

[silverguitar88]

its a figure of speech duh!

[NotnaRed]

Yeah! Specialized f***ing rock!

Got a Bulls Copperhead at the moment with Magura julie disc brakes(210mm at the front and 190mm at the backside) Rock Shox reba sl air suspension....

[1q3er5]

if i use my mountain bike to ride say 20 minutes to and back from work but on weekends do some off road riding, should i get a mountain bike or a hybrid. Are mountain bikes really that bad on pavement? I mean how much slower can they be than say a street bike or a hybrid

[silverguitar88]

u should get a mountain bike. to ride on pavement just switch tires to slick ones and ull roll better

[Vipmaxp]

hybrid

[Forceofwon]

I have a mountain bike that I use for both. The tires sing louder then the street bikes, thats it. Just max your air pressure in your tires if only doing street. I see peeps do it all the time

[fuzzywzhe]

Get a mountain bike for fun, and a cheap fixed speed road bike for commuting. Fixed speed will improve your spin a lot.

> Are mountain bikes really that bad on pavement? I mean

> how much slower can they be than say a street bike or a hybrid

Mountain bikes are agonizingly slow on pavement. Slow period really.

[pyropaul566]

everyone knows that stuff all ready

[proedgebiker]

LOL!

[whiteypetals]

Perfect video. Just what I was looking for since I have no clue how to buy a bike. The only thing that maybe could have been mentioned was how to choose the right size of bike. Otherwise, great video!

[RaggaRasta]

I just bought a Mongoose Domain and only 6 days old and the front gears are broke and the back brakes broke. And since I road it already the store won't take it back. Now what do I do?

[zymuur]

what u do is um buy a bike that doesnt suck and yea and for all the people that need help buying bikes just go to the store and they will tell u wat u need and do some reaserch on the google about different bikes. also watch pro bike videos and watch for names of bikes that people ride in mountains, skate parks, racing and all that

[silverguitar88]

u shouldent buy a bike from a store like target those are cheap. well most of them . go to a bike shop.

[fuzzywzhe]

> I just bought a Mongoose Domain and only 6 days old and the front

> gears are broke and the back brakes broke. And since I road it already

> the store won't take it back. Now what do I do?

You learn not to buy anything that is sold at Walmart.

Cannondale was recently bought by Pacific Cycle, which owns Mongoose. I ride a 1998 Cannondale road bike and that's the last Cannondale I will own. Pacific takes good names, and ruins them.

[nnnero21]

start complaining. go back to the store and tell them its unacceptable. Don't get too worked up, get the logic of your argument straight and complain more to anyone who'll listen.

[driver521221]

the bikes wal mart and kmart sell are junky. btw, walmart used to have giant signs on the front of their stores that read, "satisfaction guaranteed" but i see it less and less with their remodeled and new stores.

[dobbsy90]

thow a brick in there window

[generalducttape]

It's "their" window, not "there." Fucking idiot.

[GTDONDADA]

Are Hybrid bikes faster than mountain bikes on tar roads? cause i notice hybraid bikes has a more stable setup and design.

[cook199]

Hybrid Bikes are great and all.... just, if you're serious about mountain biking, and put alot of abuse into your bike... then don't hesitate... my whole front end, including the handle bars are demolished :(

[bhogaboam]

Thanks for the info. I think I bought the wrong bike. Dang!

[tupac3453]

wow! now i know what bike i need to buy! Thanks!

[colmcrae]

thanks captain obvious, you must sell heaps of bikes through this. loved the bit about flat bar road bikes.

[quasilan2]

That was very educative - Thank you for that.
