EP. 23 - Race Season Starts Now! Is Peter Sagan already done? TRP Drivetrain...and way more

Lots more actually, XCM schedule released, the new NORBA XC races in the USA, Zipp and Hayes wheels on the move, TRP drivetrain the new hot ticket? Imagine never having to bed your new disc brakes in, or bleed your brakes? Let a robot do it! Zwift on Vision Pro makes me SICK, literally...

Ep. 22 - I have HATE in my heart, Don Myrah?, $150K race?

One new mtb trend I absolutely hate with a passion, revealed. And, XC racers killing it at the CX champs, Mechanical drivetrain on the comeback? And much, much more. Plus a special announcement at the end on Short Travel's future plans.

Ep. 21 - Luca Rules!, my 3 favorite bike purchases of 23, zwift? other options?

Well, 2024 is off and running. We start with a ramble about ditching Zwift for some othe platforms, MyWoosh being free, was considered, but is it worth a switch? Luca Swarzpower reups with Canyon, a killer carbon chainring worth considering, the Canyon Lux is finally in stock, and some CX talk.

Ep. 20 - GCN+ Goodbye...Pidcock rules, free bikes, did I mention GCN+ dying sucks?

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.

Ep. 18 - PFP is fat? Horrible races, MBA Magazine a bust?

PFP is back racing it seems, and a race report of a fat bike competition gone all wrong. Mountain Bike Action magazine has abandonded XC entirely, 1991 memories, and stop with the gift lists!

Ep. 17 - Iceman Ruled, Brandau? Remember her? Silca on my radar.

XC Eliminator racing? Is that still a thing? Are the Black Friday deals worth it? Elite racer Elisabeth Brandau from Germany, what happened to her? Dangerholm has jumped the shark, Silca is cool, all kinds of random stuff...and a quick summary of a great race weekend up in Michigan.

Ep. 16 - Bike Industry Doomed!, Blevins + Greece, Holmgren hot, studs for the win!

Another round of doom and gloom for the bike industry is upon us it seems. Who else is going down the toilet? And what can be done to a bike if a race is going to be muddy? Sram Transmission wheel changes, the World Cup Schedule is weird, old racing stuff is odd, and all kinds of good XC info in this one.

Ep. 15 - Mtb HOF, Wiggle/CRC bankrupt, Pidcock in 25th?

Random XC goodness this week. Ingrid components out of Italy, Supercaliber nonsense? Iceman disaster story, Puck still killing it, Little Sugar 100K, Jose Ulloa gone for 18 mos...and more.

Ep. 14 - Mont St.Anne a wrap. PUCK!!! Talkin’ crap about Trek, Mud Fests.

Lots of racing talk this time. Mont St. Anne is a wrap, great racing. Luca Schwarzpower's test bike is probably the real thing, even some mention of, gulp, Tyler Hamilton...most definitely NOT a XC racer.
