  • 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.

Why Downcountry Is Silly, New Patents, Fork Talk, & Reader Questions
Q: How do Fox and RockShox differ in suspension feel and setup, and which performance style would the hosts choose?
The hosts describe Fox as generally more supportive and communicative, while RockShox tends toward comfort and supple traction. They emphasize that setup depends on rider weight, style, bike and terrain, and that both brands can be adjusted to suit different preferences.
Why Downcountry Is Silly, New Patents, Fork Talk, & Reader Questions
Q: Is a used 2024 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay Alloy 50 still a good e-bike purchase, or is the technology changing too quickly?
The hosts say a good deal on the 2024 model is worth considering. Its power remains competitive, and the differences in weight and battery efficiency from newer bikes are not dramatic; they recommend checking that the price makes sense and considering the bike's intended use.
Shorter Days, Deeper Puddles - What We Change for Fall and Winter Riding
Q: I switched from 180 to a 203 rotor, and suddenly have no luck trying to bed in the brake pads to the rotor. I've tried ceramics, I've tried centered, I've tried organic, no luck on any of them. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
The hosts suggest cleaning the rotor with alcohol, checking whether it is resin-only, and trying a fresh rotor. They explain that bedding in different pad compounds on the same rotor can leave mixed pad material and prevent consistent braking.
Shorter Days, Deeper Puddles - What We Change for Fall and Winter Riding
Q: Do I buy a dirt jump bike or something more versatile like a Marin St. Quentin? Or do I just put flats on my trail bike? Or do I just accept that I'm old now?
The hosts say a trail bike is enough for most community dirt jumps. They suggest using flat pedals, starting small, adjusting tire pressure and suspension, and learning from an experienced rider or coach. A dirt jumper can be a useful long-term purchase but is not essential.
The Age-Old Tech vs Flow Debate
Q: What fork would you recommend for a rider choosing a light enduro fork for a Bronson or a last-generation Stumpjumper Evo?
The hosts favor lighter, smaller-stanchion options such as the Fox 36, RockShox Lyrik, or Manitou Mezzer Pro when the travel fits the rider's needs. They compare stiffness, weight, travel, rebound adjustment, and suspension feel, and note that a larger fork may suit some riders or setups.
