My 1995 S-Works was 22lbs....and still couldn't win back then

My first bike Specialized Stumpjumper M2 fully ridged, red and yellow with grey umma gumma tires

24 HOP is an AWESOME event! Epic Rides puts on incredible events. You should make the trip to Tucson to ride it. Best thing is the small town (24 Hour Town) that springs out of nowhere in the middle of the desert! Hoping you all make the trip!

We need a full review of RockShox vs. Fox on the ASR!! No lockout at all on the Fox?

I feel like a star with that mention 😮

I switched to thick grips a few years ago because I felt like I was squeezing too hard and getting tired, was death grip going down. It was a game changer, so much more comfortable/confidence inspiring. That was Ergon grips, purchased some Hell’s Gate but haven’t gotten to use them yet and it’s snowy here now so have to wait until spring. Also will be trying some slip on Oury grips.

On the tool front I tend to go to Park for very bike specific tools e.g BB tools, derailleur adjustment guide etc... and then shop around for more general items like hex wrenches, pliers, ratchets etc... and try to score Wera tools when they are on sale. Also Seth at Berm Peak recently reviewed a number of tool kits ranging from budget to 'bougie', might be worth the questioners time before he makes a decision.

Yesss!! 😎😎😎

Another great one 👏🙂👍

I totally agree about not saying "acoustic bikes" - it sounds silly and unprofessional.

"Olive the colours" 😆

This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites, if not THE favorite. Such a wealth of knowledge, along with some comedy here and there. Love it!

Welchs fruit snacks

I bought a road bike against my will and I got a Conyon Endurace AL6 for 1600 bucks and it does everything I could want. I ride gravel bike trails with it all the time and it can run up to 35mm tires.

My go-to trail snack are fig newtons. I also have skittles for when I need something sweet.

Oh thank goodness - let’s get it guys! Here we go! Woo-Hoo…!!! 🔥

I've owned 15+ e-bikes since 2018. I currently own 2 Crestline bikes and hands down the best riding bikes I've ever owned. Also the best customer service I've ever received. My next bike will 100% be a Crestline.

Best truck is the new Honda Ridgeline

Hell yeah you guys are the best! 😁😁🤙🤙

I am respectful e-bikes are a big part of cycling, but I skipped most of the pod.. Back for the nxt 🙂👍

I remember riding my normal stuff on Galbraith and ran into "a dude" at the top of Evolution. He was on the Crestline and I was like, what the heck is that? He gave me all the details, rad bikes. Rock on Crestline, you're good people.

All bikes are awesome, including e-bikes. I appreciate all the information you guys give us during these podcasts. 😊

is it uncomfortable to stand the whole podcast?

Nice work gents thanks for sharing, very excited to have ordered one of these machines and cannot wait to receive it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love ebike

Sorry Fellas, 🙁 First Pod I've ever skipped 😢. I love you guys but, ZERO interest in the e-bike thing.. I'll catch the next one!! Take care.

least favorite 16 yr on e-bike going full turbo

Sick :p

If you send your X2 to Fox service, it will receive 2 parts updates that will make it an hybrid 2020 and 2024 updated shocks. Mainly better reliability

Stop tapping the desk!

Jeff standing there with a Dr Evil smirk on his face when Liam is explaining the brutal treasure hunt he set up.

Man, you guys were all over the place! Ha! I love the hell bender, bb and headset always. I just bought the ext storia V4. We'll see how it rolls the front range here in CO. Stard bro hard! ❤🚵‍♂️🏔

I'd love to do the treasure hunt. Two things though, if you make it take multiple days in multiple states you're pretty much guaranteeing the money going to someone who doesn't need it because most of us don't have the means in either money or time to do something that involved, and Secondly the Asheville idea of giving away money when at an event to raise money for people who lost everything might rub some wrong. Going to donate a bit to Jeff's team and if I can might come down to volunteer for the event❤❤❤

I have two Giant Revolts. One gravel one all road. One running 1x with 2.2” Conti Race Kings plus a dropper and the other with slick 40’s and 2x.

I'm down in the Phoenix area for a treasure hunt!

Another great Pod.. I do like the resilience and sustainability of a Hope Tech headset for UK conditions

It definitely should not cost 100$ for two small bearings and 4 rings of metal. The entire bike industry needs to wake up and realize that the pedal bike isn't the same thing as a gpmoto race bike or dirt bike. It's a pedal bike. It shouldn't cost over 2000$ to get a full suspension bike reliable enough to jump. A wheel for a bike should not cost the same as a wheel for a car. It's a bike, the simplest cheapest means of human powered transportation.

Jeff lookin stressed before Jared even finishes his first word 😂

Welcome back boys!

WootWoot!! So glad to see some awesomeness going down on 11/11! Let’s get after it! 🔥🏃‍♂️🤙

You mentioned not being able to ride the Pivot’s but how DW-Link works good. While technically not DW-Link, Banshee uses a very similar design, and you do sell that online. Some would argue it is an improved DW, since it has some rearward wheel travel initially.

Garbaruk is actually lighter then sram xx1 and shimano xtr, I ride their 10-52t 12spd cassette and it is solid!

What's the theme song of this video podcast? Fade To Black?

You got your little participation trophy. 🤣

Run those MTB tires until they resemble your fathers bald head, slick in the middle and furry on the sides. Less waste and more slide outs.

I was hoping for some reasoning in the stem length and sizing. I am on a 2019 Evil Following MB with 450mm reach and 50mm stem. I just bought a Banshee Phantom frame to build up and am debating stem length. A 35mm stem means I’d only truly be gaining ~5mm length when jumping from the 450mm to 470mm frame reach. I hear other people say to match stem length to fork offset (with most coming in at 44-46mm now), but I see most stems in 40 & 50mm options. I’m 5’11” btw.

Reach + stem length is only good when comparing bikes with identical seat-tube angles.

Need a comparison review of the Fox vs RS on the ASR!!

I'm actually a bit concerned about our fearless leader - Jeff. It's easy to imagine the daily stress of owning a bike company of any kind in the current business climate. I wonder if he's just so stressed that he is taking on all these life-threatening activities because he subconsciously feels that dying on the side of a mountain somewhere might be easier than keeping our favourite bike company solvent...? Be careful out there, Jeff!😆

LOL … participation trophy. You guys are awesome when you rag on each other.
