We are mountain bike nerds! We will talk about anything mountain bike related from the perspective of being pretty OK riders, racers and fathers. We love Enduro, Trail riding, dirt jumping and we even do the odd XC race now and then. We're also actively i
You're probably missing the point when it comes to these tires.
After a very wet spring with little riding worth talking about, we talk a little life, a little moto and then our MTB stories we are ashamed of.
In April of 2020, we put together the definitive list by which one can determine one's "broness." We have made adjustments and recalculated. We apologize for Klint's audio going wonky later in the podcast. We are trying to sort out why that happens.
Turns out, suspension designers want you to use the compression damping. Klint is mad about it. Also, when did bikes become good and what do you want for Christmas?
Chloe Harisberger (top youth girl finisher), Breanna Goff (Women's Pro Winner) and Cade Pummill (2nd in Men's Pro) come on to talk about their BT Experience, Collegiate Cycling, going fast etc. This was a really fun one to record. We even left in some nonsense at the beginning! If you want to donate to Chloe's cause, find her dad on Instagram and shoot him a message. @harisbergerexplore !
In this episode, Ryan and Klint recap what went right/wrong at the 2024 BT Epic, although somehow we talk about Kyle for the first 10 minutes. Anyway, shoutout to Jeremy Runge for giving Klint some extra water when he really needed it. We call this cover photo "Disappointment"
What's the trail like? Where's the water?
You're going to hate some of Klint's takes in this one as he defies the current trends. Less electrolytes have resulted in less cramping, he wants to run a narrower front tire for XC and he swears that SRAM Transmission helped him place higher than he otherwise would have.
Ryan's bike has had suspension this whole time, you guys! This short episode is kind of unbelievable.
Ryan and Klint interview 10 (or 12 depending on how you count)-time Leadville 100 finisher and local Missouri legend Brad Wadlow. We talk Leadville, the BT Epic, race nutrition and lots of other things. If you want to get straight to the Leadville talk, skip to 17 minutes in. Also, thanks to AI-generated art, we are now "Nounty's BKE Podcat"
He has a strategy, and you're going to hate it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/okmtb/message

We did it! We made our month deadline.
