Episode Synopsis

Our summer biking season is flying by and we’ve been spending a ton of time on a lot of very interesting bikes and gear — with a lot more to come. So we decided to check in with several of our reviewers to hear about the gear they’ve been most impressed by so far this year; the new products they’re most excited to check out; and along the way we talk about mullet bikes, bike shop pranks, and unveil several genius new ideas that we definitely shouldn’t be giving away for free.TOPICS & TIMES:Pivot Trail 429 (1:01)Commencal Meta TR, bike weight, & shop pranks (3:02)Privateer 161 & tradeoffs in seat tube angles (13:22)Pedals: flat vs. clipless vs. magnetic (21:15)Shimano Deore 12 speed (30:54)Vorsprung Secus & “NOS for your bike” (31:57)Pivot Firebird (34:35)Mullet bikes (36:53)High-pivot bikes — Forbidden Dreadnought, GT Force, & Trek Session (38:37)RockShox ZEB (40:50)Specialized Status & shady cryptocurrency purchases (41:12)Nicolai G1 (45:23)Öhlins RXF38 (46:21)We Are One Arrival (46:55)RELATED LINKS:Pivot Trail 429Commencal Meta TRPrivateer 161Vorsprung SecusPivot FirebirdForbidden DreadnoughtGT ForceTrek SessionRockShox ZEBWe Are One ArrivalBecome a Blister MemberCamping in Gunnison & Crested Butte Hosted on Acast.
