  • Can you raise the volume

    Hey guys, love the show but volume seems low. I have to have it on max but that’s still not loud enough if I’m walking near traffic. Thanks

Hopefully I can save enough money to finally buy a Santa Cruz Nomad from them…been wanting that bike for about 5 years! It’s a great podcast and shop so if you’re in the area go visit them. Support the brick an... more

Bike Fit Tweener Talk - The Path Bike Shop Podcast

Flex and Mechanical Steering Trail - The Path Bike Shop Podcast
Q: If I'm riding my e-bike and I pedal harder, will I get more range?
Depending on the situation, probably not. Pedaling harder can just make the battery put out more power without significantly increasing range.
Drop It Like It's Hot - The Path Bike Shop Podcast
Q: Inverted forks seem to be more common just lately. Trend or here to stay?
There's likely going to be an increase in inverted forks as they offer better performance benefits.
