Hi friends! We didn't post much on this channel this summer, because we were busy racing bikes instead of fixing them. If you want to catch up on our racing exploits, they live over on our other channel ‪@sydandmacky‬

Now that it's the off season, you will see more regular videos here!

We did it! 100k subscribers on this little channel. Thank you to each and every one of you. This channel pulled me out of a rough place, and I hope it has helped many of you as well. Thank you for being open to learning along with me. It means more than you know. New videos dropping soon, we promise ❤️

We're taking a short break from videos BUT we will be back soon with a new summer series. We'll be leaving the comfort of the shed and taking you out on the trail to demonstrate fixes for common on-trail problems!

Share an on-trail mechanical that left you stranded below and maybe we'll make a video about it 🤔🤔

Also, yes, Jack is sitting on my tools in this photo 😂

30k subscribers!!! 🤯🤯 What. The. Heck. Never thought this many of you would want to watch me putter around in the shed, call everything a "thingy" and routinely mix up my righty-tighties and lefty-loosies. Or, let's be honest, are you all just here for Jack? 🐱

Either way, we appreciate you all immensely. Thank you for helping me make something cool out of a garbage heap of a year. It means so much more than you know. ❤️

No video today because we are BUSY BUSY building up Macky's new ‪@NinerBikesOfficial‬ Air 9 RDO single speed! We are super stoked to bring you our first full build video in a few weeks. You will be able to watch me build this all the way from frame to full bike -- my first time doing a full build all by myself 😬 eek!

Have you ever done a custom build before? If so, what problems did you run into? Drop them in the comments and we'll try to help!

SUSPENSION VIDEO COMING TOMORROW!!! We got a lot of great questions about suspension in our last community post, so we decided to turn our suspension video into TWO VIDEOS. And it's a good thing we did because we just finished editing part 1 and it's a DOOZY, but we really hope it will help demystify the subject for you. Suspension can be really confusinf but it's SOOOO important!

This first video will explain what each setting on your MTB suspension does, and give you some suggestions for a baseline starting point. In part 2, we will discuss how what you're feeling translates into suspension settings and talk about how pros dial in their suspension before a race! First video drops tomorrow 5am MST! 😊

Since it's Valentine's Day, here's a video from our other channel ‪@sydandmacky‬ that we shot a couple years ago at Nevados de Chillan bike park in Chile.

Let's talk SUSPENSION SET UP!! We will be filming a video this weekend that will take you through the process that race mechanics use to dial in suspension, and how we modify this process when we set up our suspension at home. So leave a comment letting us know what your sticking points are with suspension set up and we will try to make the video as helpful as possible! What trips you up? Confuses you? Is there one setting you feel like you can never get right?!?! Drop it in the comments ⬇️

And thanks FOX for sending me this sweet hat so I can convincingly pretend to be Macky's suspension tech 😂😂😂

20k ya'll 🤯 honestly I am floored that so many of you have found this little channel and that you have faith in my ability to learn to wrench...or at least faith that we will both learn things along the way 😂😂 this has been a lot of fun and bright spot in an otherwise pretty rough year. Thanks for your support, comments, questions and love. I can't think of a better way to go into 2021!!
