    Ep. 32 - XC Fork stuff, shocking shift speed tests, and serious drivetrain discussions...and racing!

    Starting out with all the new secret changes that are starting to leak, new Fox XC forks, SID changes, and a truly surprising shift-speed test between 7 different drivetrains, new modular rear derrailleur system, and some racing wrapups including one of my own local races that didn't go the way I was expecting...

    Ep. 30 - Olympic let downs, US Nat. Champs race stupidity, having 6 or more helmets?

    Of course the Olympics must be discussed, the let down of a US National Championships without the real best racers in attendance, why do I have so darn many new helmets? Old BMX/mtb legent Toby Henderson made how much cash back in the day?

    Ep. 28 - A long one! Lots of cool product news, several NOTS, and PFP is a goner officially.

    Man, lots and lots have happened since the last episode. Sram updates, a "future of xc" type bike from Viral, Stan's wheels have fallen, mud tires, and 3D printed stuff for your body...and some tidbits and a short racing update. Worth a listen!

    Ep. 27 - King hubs no longer Kings? Shimano Electronic Brakes? Dean, Valves, ti cranks? PanAm Champs...

    Tons of little gear news I find interesting, including EEWings finishes, chain guides, Stans with new tweaks, some old school news from Dean and Brodie, Shimano patents go crazy, and tons more...

    Ep. 26 - MASSIVE xc product blast, new tires galore, crazy chainrings, and the US is back!!!

    What can be said, the U.S. riders absolutely killed it in Brazil. 4 women in the top 10? Winning the mens elite? dominating U23? Really? Amazing work, and it happens again tomorrow in Brazil. And there are so many new tires announced for XC racing, and Time pedals, and Fox's crazy arch, and insanely high tech chainrings, what can I say. This is a bundle of great info all in one place...oh, and an official Short Travel release date is announced.
