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...

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.

Ep. 25 - Epic 8, US XC racing confusion, BATTERIES!, Cape Epic kinda boring...

Got a long one for you here, first we talk Thomus bikes in the USA, then lots of geat stuff including how all XC race bikes look the same, Trek chopping skus, serious battery charging from Trek and Sram, the new Epic 8 might be my perfect XC bike, Flight Attendant rules, bigger rotors, the extremely confusing US Pro series, and USAC Mountain Bike Series are not the same, but have the same races? Lots to discuss...

Ep. 24 - GT bikes back in XC? Grotts is back? Shimano/Fox going down, Time XC Pedals!

Exciting racing pre-World Cup, Spain, Puerto Rico, and the US riders are doing fantastic. We go over some industry news, not all doom and gloom. Cape Epic talk is starting to ramp up. Enough to keep you occupied I think...and another update on the YouTube channel progress.

GCN+ Goodbye...Pidcock rules, free bikes, did I mention GCN+ dying sucks?

Ep. 19 – Nino everywhere, VDP/WVA/PID losing steam?, Canyon is killing it, 3 wheel sizes?

That's right, Nino Shurter seems to be the topic of many videos as of late, and can these multi-discipline racers really do it all? Seems maybe not. Ditching AXS for mechanical shifting, Canyon increasing sales when everyone else seems to be shrinking, crazy wheel sizes at the Olympics, and a bunch more.
