Listen "Reviewer Reports: DW-link Head-to-Head; Forbidden Dreadnought; Shimano vs. Sram; & Category-Defying Pedals"
Episode Synopsis
Today we have Blister Bike Editor David Golay talking to reviewer Dylan Wood about all the bikes and gear they’ve recently been spending time on, including some A-B comparisons of short-travel, DW-link bikes at both ends of the price spectrum; a range of longer-travel Enduro bikes both fairly conventional and quite unusual; some very intriguing pedals; and they mix in some thoughts on the importance (or lack thereof) of bike weight, and the current state of the Shimano vs. SRAM drivetrain wars.TOPICS & TIMES:Pivot Trail 429 (1:03)Ibis Ripley AF (2:30)Shimano drivetrains (7:37)Canfield Lithium (12:05)Commencal Meta TR (17:43)Forbidden Dreadnought (27:41)Hustle REMtech magnetic “clipless” pedals (35:48)RELATED LINKS:Pivot Trail 429Ibis Ripley AFCanfield LithiumCommencal Meta TRForbidden DreadnoughtBecome a Blister MemberCamping in Gunnison & Crested Butte Hosted on Acast.
