Latest Episodes

We go over our findings from the most recent round of value bike testing in Sedona, Arizona.

Three time Olympian and six time Dutch National XCO Champion, Anne Terpstra, shares her insights on racing in challenging conditions, her transition to a new team, and her thoughts on future bike technology and courses.

Kazimer was getting over jet lag, and Dario has a cold, so this one is a little shorter than usual. We'll be back next week with a longer episode and a deeper dive into the reader question inbox.

Hattie shares her journey through injury rehab, her bike setup changes, and her recent success in downhill racing, offering insights into adaptation, training, and mental resilience.

  • New Format

    The format with the listener Q&A is great. Please try to reel in the vocal fry, it can be very hard to listen with the croaking.

  • No longer a must listen

    Missing the old crew. Especially Mike Levy. The podcast used to be useful and entertaining. Now I am bored and usually only listen if Mike K is on the episode or if I have nothing else to listen to. I have abandoned many episodes half way through out of disinterest. That NEVER happened with Mike Levy. Mike K/Brian P episodes were good too, but Levy added a level of enjoyment that is sorely missing now.

  • Awful interview with the G.O.A.T

    Just listened for 15 minutes before I had to switch this off! The interview with Nino was awful and had zero energy and context.

    Why ask him about 32inch wheels ffs! Surely he deserves better questioning and some better banter! His legacy is epic! Come on PB!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

China Bike Show, Spy Shots, & Reader Questions
Q: Is most bike manufacturing still Taiwan-dominant, or are there new hubs in other countries, and how does assembly factor in?
The hosts explain that production is global and varies by brand and model; some frames are made in Thailand, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, or Myanmar, with assembly occurring in multiple locations depending on business needs, tariffs, and market strategy.
China Bike Show, Spy Shots, & Reader Questions
Q: What are your thoughts on Canyon's swappable rear brake mount that they used in Korea and claims about anti-rise changes?
The group expresses confusion and acknowledges that a floating brake arm changes anti-rise by altering where the brake force acts on the linkage, but they aren't fully certain about Canyon's specific mount and plan to reach out to an engineer for clarification.
Matt Made a Mega Mullet
Q: What were the main mechanical changes to fit the 32-inch front wheel?
Key changes included reducing fork travel to prevent bottom outs, shifting the headset and shock placement, and ensuring the wheel clearance through careful frame geometry and potential longer reach or adjusted head angle.
Matt Made a Mega Mullet
Q: How does the Mega Mullet affect handling vs. a traditional 29er downhill bike?
The Mega Mullet shifts weight and leverage in a way that increases grip and stability on fast, rough sections, but it also makes the bike feel longer and sometimes harder to initiate into corners; riders may need to adapt their line choice and body position to get the most from the bigger front wheel.
Opinions on Dominions and More Listener Questions
Q: Would it be possible to put a downhill drivetrain on a full-powered, long-travel e-bike to get some added durability and shave off some gears that aren't used much?
They suggest that yes is possible in some cases, but it's not universally viable; outcomes depend on hill profiles, battery and chainring considerations, and you often lose useful gearing for steep climbs, so it's situational.
