The Just Riding Along Show Andrea, Matt, and Kenny on Just Riding Along Outdoor Media

This week's episode sounds a little breathy because I (Andrea) tried a sound equalizing filter. It's got some compromises... like making breathing noises louder. 
This week, Matt talks Enduro, Andrea was almost eaten by a mountain lion (again?), and Kenny did moto stuff as usual. They're heavy on the new shit and light on listner content, so head over to the JRAshow.com website and fill out the contact form with anything you want them to discuss! 

In this week's episode, Matt raced the Salida Enduro and then it's the usual moto and hunting talk. 
New Shit: 

Kenny drops a bomb about the Delta/Dimension stem recall. Spoiler alert- they're lying when they say that "no injuries have been reported." Oh yeah, and if you came here just for this, it starts at about 22 minutes in. We've been sitting on this a while, and everyone needs to know.

Kenny is live and in person for this week's episode. The crew talks motorized stuff for a while before getting to the good bike stuff. They discuss riding in St. George and what the riding season is like in Salida, CO.

Listener Question:

Should I relace my DT Swiss carbon wheels with BERD Spokes?

Welcome to a thrownback from 10 years ago! Amazingly enough, the bike parts have changed, but the advice hasn't. The sound on this one is a little echo-y since at the time, we recorded ourselves sitting around a single microphone at a kitchen table. It's still got all the JRA you crave, though. 
In this episode, the crew makes a pretty amazing prediction when it comes to fork lockouts followed by paying the Wolftooth tax, advice on 1x10 chainline and gearing selection, Andrea's gravel racing plans, and how Kenny lost a KOM. 

In this week's episode, Kenny may have bought a new (to him) motorcycle, and Andrea may not have crashed it yet. Andrea talks brain drugs and goats, and Matt is putting his Epic Evo on a diet.
