Linking Rockshox, Pedros, Tioga and GT | Doddy joins MTB dots 

Doddy is back! Hell yea!

Holy smokes! Doddy has his own channel? Uh, yes please. Hey Doddy, great job, as always, and thanks for sharing your stories and expertise.

Immediately subscribed the moment I discovered Doddy's Channel

This is what I miss!!!! Doddy nerding out on retro MTB tech and companies 🙏🏻😎

Yay, Doddy is back talking MTB tech. Praise the MTB gods 🤟

Doddy always needed his own channel❤

Doddy! Yes! The Legend has returned.

What a trip down memory lane!

I’m stoked to get to watch and learn from Doddy again!!!

Great video Doddy! More please and yes please do make the documentary 😊

I laughed when you said how terrible farmer John's tyres were, yet I can remember just how bad I wanted them as a 14 year old! 😂

Was able to see some of those videos as a youngster. And is why I still have a softspot for GT. I still have my old avalanche, this makes me want to build it up again😊

Doddy, mate- you are an MTB encyclopedia. Loving the new channel. Best of luck at Mondraker, too.

Glad to see you back doing this kind of content again. Subscribed and looking forward to the next installments.

Great video, still riding my GT Zaskar, I've still got my milk leavers, 🤘

Reminds me of the TV show from the 90’s on TLC called “Connections”. Keep them coming!

I just saw your channel today - and hope this will go on and grow!

Watching Tread in early 94’ gave me massive goosebumps. The first time I saw my sport filmed so brilliantly, it was epic. Great video Doddy. Pop over one day and come see my collection

I have learned so much from this man i just appreciate it so much i wouldn't have ever considered taking my bike completely apart till i stumbled upon Doddy so thanks bro

Looking at those classic mtbs got me thinking of rebuilding my old very old araya mtb...

These stories and information are awesome! 😎👍💯

Back in the day when the North Shore freeriding scene was taking off Canondale tried to license the term Freeriding. Rocky Mountain bike just called their group the Fro Riders and Bret T / Ritchey S and Wayde Simmons made it go to a whole new level.

Awesome, great video......more please!

Dodd we have missed you! Great content!

Farmer John's tyres. Blimey, I'd forgotten all about those (luckily 😂).

Thanks for such a cool knowledge drop, Doddy! Life Cycles is so absolutely incredible I own a physical copy of it. Can't wait to watch Tread and get inspired to go shred on my Proflex.

DODDIIIIIIIIIE my man 😀🙌🏾. Never would i've thought I would see this great guy again. Finaly having your own youtube show 👍🏾. If some one knows a thing or two about mountainbikes, Doddy is that Man. Great to see you back.

Thanks Doddy, great interesting content

YES!! Doddy is back. never knew you had a youtube channel

GT' fast campaign was spot on. Every time a new one printed, people would talk about it everywhere you went!

Nice one Doddy, keep them coming.

Great video Doddy. Awesome.

Great to see you back in videos. The way you communicate with the viewer is fantastic. I have an idea for a video also. British bike brands that people may not have heard of, like Whyte, Vitus, Bird. Even Saracen which are well known but many don't know, is made in the UK. Keep up the good work!

First real mtb was a 1992 Kona Cinder Kone, I was 14 and it was amazing, project forks.. xlite bar ends, wished I’d kept it . Good old days.

Where did you go doddy ... I missed you ... Your so much better on your own channel . That high pitched voice that replaced you at your old job I'd not the best at the job 😢 Legendary effort on your new channel . I've subscribed and dump the gmbc net work Thumbs up mate

I have always used dhf/dhr2 on my bikes. They're limits are beyond my abilities which is a good match for me. As ever Doddy, brilliant content. Glad to have you back. Ps I ride a 2018 GT ALLOY SENSOR COMP F/S 29er. Much upgraded - the best trail bike ever!

Cheers Doddy! The 80's & 90's was such a pioneering era for mtbing, so many weird and wonderful parts and designs. It sure was great to be a part of.

I moved from bmx to mtb in 84, some of this stuff I've never even seen before. The rest is amazing to be reminded of and hear the back stories. No idea what dead end of my brain stores these magazine features for instant recall once I see them. Love it!

Awesome details. Thx

Those disc drive wheels, you could hear them coming from the top of the hill!!! 🤣

Ramble on, Man!

❤ love the shirt!! 👌👌👌

Wow, I just love this type of stories. It‘s like reading an extensive editorial in a good old bike magazine. A few days ago, I had a conversation with a colleague about some old Kleins and he was impressed with my „encyclopaedic“ knowledge but compared to you, I know nothing. I suggest „who really mad it“ as a topic. Things like who really made this tires are fascinating.

I've always enjoy your vibes doddy and how you get down to the nitty gritty when you're dabbling on specific topics. Glad I found you.

Yay Doddy’s back, I’ve missed this content, great insight, and much much more please.

Doddy. Just found your videos and subscribed. Am now one happy camper again!

Paul Brodie has a great youtube channel - I believe he is currently building a "giraffe" bike :)

Good to see you back, Doddy 💪💪💪

I so remember that "Fast is corporate policy" campaign...I used to race Zaskar's back then and shortly after jumped on the i-Drive bandwagon. Even the i-Drive campaigns were great! Andrew is a gem...love that human!

Woohoo. Great to have you back.

This was awesome, keep e'm coming🤘

I'm happy for your new channel. This video is so nice MTB archive for the ones that started MTB before the 90s is pure gold.

Nice one Dodd! Keeps these vids coming!

Doddy!!!!!! Im so so glad ur back doing tech ! I hope to see it more! GMBN Tech sadly went down the drain after you left :( I hope to see the same supremly superb quality of information as before! Ive missed your MTB wisdom

This video brings up so many memories for me. I started getting into mountain biking in the late 90s as a (broke) preteen. My friend had a copy of Tread of VHS and that is what really got me I to mountain biking. To this day almost 25 years later I’m still a Han Rey fan and dream of taking a road trip like they did with my son when he’s a bit older. The US magazine Mountain Bike Action did a great article on Hans a few months ago that’s worth the read. I still quote the “fast… it’s corporate policy” line all the time (especially after I became a paramedic). Right up until about 5 years ago I still had the GT pint class with slogan on it. The late 90s/early 2000s was such a great time to be in the sport. The Volvo/Cannondale team was my “home” team since I live 3hrs from the factory (even got to visit when I was around 14yrs old). Missy, Ann Caroline, Cadel, Tinker, Brian - the team was stacked! Thanks for such a great vid! Please make this a whole series!

Got your very oun channel well i be diped. Keepemcoming

the Mongoose rider might have been Brian Lopes. The time frame fits

Great video, he’ll of a history lesson and invoking of memories. I had an RTS when it first came out. Brochure had Juliana Furtado when she won the DH world championships title out of nowhere. The bike actually worked when many other designs were just complete crap

super cool that you have your own channel

Sooooo good to se you on your channel. You are the ONLY really reliable source to MTB technology and history. Deeply appreciated 🤗🤗🤗 Greetings from an old school XC rider (still on Bontrager OR bike with XT 737 stuff and Marzocchi z1 with 1” steerer😂

The ad990 and a-head changed bmx. Still call brake bosses AD lugs!! As for diskdrives, we used them in polo....made out of estate agents signs!! Must admit, i made one for my kona!

Great work,

I had a Speedball dropper for over a decade. It changed my riding beyond recognition. Best upgrade ever, after front suspension.

Doddy... Do more... Very interesting..

Nice one Doddy. Unrivalled passion and knowledge as usual.

Yes! Love everything about your channel! Really brings back all these memories from my teenage years. I still have my milk levers. Amazing levers still.

Doddy for the win 🥇 , it’s so good to see and hear the stories from back in the day, been Riding Atb and Mtb’s for 33 years and counting 😊 bikes = life . Great job , should do some longer videos dig deeper into this thing we love ❤️

Mooore, we need more of this, Doddy!!!!

Say What ?? Love the T-shirt !

Love the channel! Looking forward to future content.

Great vid. Really happy to see your encyclopediac knowledge back on the Tube. The old channel ain’t what it was 😅. Looking forward to the next installment

Subscribed. 👍

Congrats Doddy on your chanel you got a faithful folower love the video cheers from the edge of the 1st World and the 3rd worl, Tijuana, Baja California México!

Doddy doing a dirt shed tech style video is perfect get to know his really thoughts on brands, interesting to see his workshop now when all the brand sponsor stuff is gone and it’s him using what he actually loves. Of course he will have mondraker bikes but in terms on tyres suspension cleaning products and tools

awesome stuff doddy, good to see you chatting about MTBs from the workshop again, great storytelling, Hans no way Ray! what a dude! those moab sections on a clunker must have been mad :)

Yes for Doddy

I love the story-telling about the origins of MTBing. I got my first Cannondale in 1993, switched to GT in 96 for a few bikes,,,thanks Allspeed!. Still have an Intense Uzzi SL from 96. YaY! Doddy's back!!!!

it's so good to see you back telling stories Doddy!

Another great vid buddy!! Going back to Tread reminds me of my favorite vid around that time Pulp Traction - it was the first time I'd seen any riding like the stuff Tippie and the crew were doing and is always a good watch.

Very good video!

Onza Smoke and Dart!

Happy to see you back on RU-vid talking about bikes!

Love this. So hard to find history on mtb. Cool video

As many are saying. I was heart broken when you stopped coming in on that other channel. This made my morning, as a now older guy I wasn’t there in the ultra early days. But about 2000 I came in and well that was a quarter century ago now. And it’s fun to get a far more in depth view on stuff that was just out of this world in the shop back then, and now where near the coverage media wise that the stuff available now gets. Keep the content coming!

It seems I sub your channel at about 2110 th to 2120 th. Welcome back Doddy!

I'm glad to find this channel. Last night I am watching your video in GMBN about breaks and bleeding them. :)

Doddy you make me feel old hahaha, great memories, cheers

cool story link Dodzy, another marketing campaign during the mid/late nineties I enjoyed looking at were from C'dale always liked the image they projected in them. If viewers aren't aware Paul Brodie has a channel here on YT, the guy is an artist. Looking forward to hearing your story on the ano (purple) colour craze during the early nineties or the aftermarket component explosion during the same period

Good to see ya back talking bikes on RU-vid Doddy! Honestly, GMBN is feeling just like a content mill now, with so many repeat themes over and over again that I’m looking for other options for bike channels/vids. Always enjoyed when you’d be on that channel.

Glad to see you with your own channel, you are one of my favorite people in the world

Life cycles has to be hands down my favourite bike movies 🙏 Great video too dude 👏

You stopped short of the best Kona tyre names:: Scratch and Sniff, Break and Enter, and my personal fav, Gravy and Lumpy

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 \\ Liked and Subscribed // 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice one Doddy love the retro stuff 🤜

Nice one Doddy. Dead good. Please keep them coming now.

Quality content.

Finally I was craving a video from you doddy

Thank you for this, the gmbn channel hasn’t been the same since you left

I'm genuine happy finding your channel. Hope to see you on a regular-ish base :)

Nice t-shirt Doddy
