Full Spectrum Cycling Podcast – Episode 333 (333.2) with Allroy from Canada https://youtu.be/xX9fEGCrRhw It doesn’t happen all at once. Usually it’s one bike, one caliper, one cold morning where you squeeze the lever and something is clearly not right. But on Episode 333 of Full Spectrum Cycling, both Sven and Allroy – independently, on different bikes, in different countries – arrived at exactly the same conclusion about hydraulic disc brakes and winter fat biking. They’re done with them. When Hydraulics Quit in the Cold Allroy rides a Norco Bigfoot as his primary winter machine. Last season, one of the Shimano hydraulic calipers blew out. He had a spare cable-actuated brake sitting around, swapped it on, and rode out the rest of the winter without issue. No drama, no performance drop he could actually notice. Sven had a similar story with Magura hydraulics on his fat bike. No crash, no obvious damage – the front brake just stopped having fluid one day. Replaced it with a TRP Spyke cable-actuated caliper and hasn’t looked back. The culprit with hydraulics in cold weather is usually fluid behavior, seal expansion and contraction, and the fact that a small leak or air pocket that’s a nuisance in summer becomes a real problem at -20. Mineral oil brakes (Shimano, Magura, and TRP’s own hydraulic line) handle cold better than DOT fluid systems. Plus, DOT will strip your paint and be a general nightmare but even mineral oil setups aren’t immune to cold-weather issues. Why TRP Spyke and Spyre Are the Answer The difference between a TRP Spyke or Spyre and a mid-range mechanical caliper like a BB7 comes down to pad movement. On a BB7, only one pad moves the other is fixed, which means you end up micro-bending the rotor to make contact. It works, but it’s not ideal. TRP’s mechanical calipers actuate both pads from center, which means you get consistent, even contact and a much cleaner adjustment. The Spyke is the mountain/fat bike version (long pull lever), and the Spyre is the road version (short pull). Both are made by the same people who make Tektro, just at the higher end of the line, and they’re priced reasonably for the quality. The honest take from both Allroy and Sven: on a fat bike, you’re not descending at 60 mph. You’re not shuttle-lapping a bike park. The actual stopping power of a good mechanical disc brake is more than adequate for how fat bikes get ridden, and the reliability advantage in winter is not small. Fat Bike Lab is at 110 Members – and It’s Active The Fat Bike Lab community on Skool is at 110 members and, notably, it’s not a ghost town between November and April. A good chunk of the current engagement is coming from UK riders, who tend to have terrain suited to fat biking year-round and don’t wait for snow to justify riding wide tires. Allroy gave a specific example of what makes the community worth being in: a thread where someone broke down the differences between Manitou fork variants, complete with technical detail that’s hard to find anywhere else. That kind of thread, from people who actually know the equipment, is what makes the community useful rather than just a place to post bike photos. The discussion about adding a “Pantry” section, essentially a classifieds or gear swap area, came up as a logical next step. The idea is to give members a dedicated space to post used gear for sale or trade, separated from general discussion, without turning the whole community into a marketplace. If you’re a fat biker and you’re not already in Fat Bike Lab, it’s worth checking out.https://www.skool.com/fat-bike-lab-4983 Wyatt Bicycles Closes After 15 Years This is a real bummer! Coming from Wisconsin too we are saddened to learn that Wyatt Bicycles, based in Bangor, Wisconsin, closed after 15 years of building American-made aluminum fat bikes. These weren’t budget bikes! They were well-engineered, reasonably priced for US-made product, and built with some smart design thinking around how the chainstay and seat stay yoke were jigged for easy, consistent welding. The story of Wyatt is also the story of what happened to the fat bike industry more broadly. The big brands, Specialized, Trek, and others, came in, made money off the trend, and then dropped fat bikes from their lineups when growth slowed. The small builders who had been doing it seriously before the trend, and kept doing it after, were left trying to survive in a market that had been inflated and then deflated by companies with no long-term commitment to the category. Allroy’s town went from four bike shops to zero. The closest option is now a 20-30 minute drive to a big-box franchise. The same pattern is playing out in Milwaukee, where COVID accelerated shop closures that were already underway. None of this means fat biking is dying, the Fat Bike Lab community is proof of that, but the retail and manufacturing infrastructure that supported it is thinner than it was five years ago. North American Brands Worth Supporting The conversation moved naturally into brands that are still doing things right. A few that came up: We Are One Composites – Canadian carbon rim manufacturer, making wheels that save real weight without the overseas price-to-quality lottery. Seeley Dave went North American for a summer wheelset build and landed on We Are One after running the numbers on a full US build with Onyx hubs, Bird Spokes, and Velocity rims. 9.8 Components – Also Canadian, makes dropper posts and the inverted-style flat pedals that Tony is a dedicated fan of. The dropper posts are fully user-serviceable if you want to do the maintenance yourself, or you can send them back. That repairability matters for a component that takes a beating. Onyx Racing Products – are made in Minnesota by Christianson Systems, a family-run machining operation that originally built farm equipment. The hub line started with BMX racing and has since grown into arguably the most comprehensive hub catalog in cycling covering BMX, mountain, road, gravel, fat bike, park, and track, with hundreds of configuration options across axle standards, driver bodies, colors, and their Classic and Vesper weight tiers. The engineering centerpiece is a patented sprag clutch mechanism which delivers completely silent coasting, zero drag, and engagement so fast it’s effectively instantaneous. Every hub ships with ceramic hybrid bearings as standard. For fat biking specifically, the combination of instant power transfer and dead-silent rolling makes them a standout choice, and the fact that they’re built in the U.S. and backed by a company that has been doing precision machining long before cyclists discovered them doesn’t hurt either. The Beer, the 3D Printer, and Everything Else JK brought an Abita Brewing “Jockamo” Juicy IPA from New OrleansABV 6%, 30 IBU and Jazz Fest-approved. Allroy went with Rouge River “Hop Eye” Hazy IPA at 6.8%, purchased from his local government agency store now that corner stores in Ontario carry beer. Both received passing marks. Sven’s 3D printing setup was on display during the show, and Allroy’s son has been printing glow-in-the-dark Godzilla figures and working through a backlog of functional and decorative projects. If you’re new to 3D printing, the first thing you print is a Benchy. It is law. Allroy also got out for a three-day bikepacking trip with Rory – described as genuine Goldilocks conditions, meaning no rain, no mechanicals, and no regrets. He’s hoping to get back out in August. And Sven’s birthday is July 4th, which coincides this year with the United States’ 250th anniversary. He has complicated feelings about competing with the entire country for his own birthday!

Trumpet player and vocalist Jennifer Hartswick sits down with us in the green room at Jazz Fest to talk about her decades-long love affair with New Orleans — a city she calls "its own planet" — and the musical relationships that have shaped her career. Jennifer recounts her first New Orleans gig at the Maple Leaf, an overnight set that ran from 3am to sunrise, and reflects on what it took to earn that kind of audience. She shares the story of meeting Christian McBride, a musician she idolized as a kid, and forming what she describes as an instant soul bond. And she tells us about the night she met Phil Lesh — he didn't know who she was, noticed her trumpet in the green room, and the conversation that followed led to years of playing together in Phil & Friends. We also talk about High Sierra Music Festival's move to a new home in Grass Valley, and why Jennifer believes this inaugural year there is going to be something special.

The kids keeping the jazz tradition alive. Hear what the 2026 Dakota Ensemble has to say ahead of their main stage performance at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival

The Nancy Bierma trio plays on the Bigos 6th street stage along side Mears Park at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, this Saturday, June 20 at 3pm. Nancy and her husband, bassist Jim Bierma, have been playing professionally for decades. But Nancy's jazz playing was the result of a dramatic change of course during her college days. She told Phil Nusbaum about it.

If you’ve lived in New Orleans for any length of time, you know we love to rebuild. We rebuilt the levees. We rebuilt the schools. We rebuilt the Superdome. After every storm, we rebuild thousands of roofs and hundreds of homes. After Hurricane Katrina, a small group of New Orleanians decided that the way they could make a contribution toward saving the city was to help build companies. They revived a small volunteer-run organization called Social Entrepreneurs of New Orleans. Three years later they turned it into a registered non-profit and gave it a new name. They called it, “Propeller.” The idea was - Find people in New Orleans who had identified a problem in their community and were trying to build a business or nonprofit to fix it. Get these folks in a room. Teach them how to read a balance sheet, how to apply for a grant, how to write a marketing plan, how to hire a bookkeeper. Then turn them loose. It worked. Today, Propeller is a business accelerator and co-working space that has seen more than 300 ventures go through its program. Those companies have generated over $290 million in revenue and external financing, and they’ve created more than 485 full and part-time jobs in the city. The CEO of Propeller is Jessica Allen. If you happened to watch HGTV in 2024, you may have caught a series called “Bargain Block: New Orleans.” It was a New Orleans spinoff of HGTV’s Detroit-based home renovation show. The two hosts had design ambitions. The person on the show who turned those ambitions into actual buildings, walls, and floors was a New Orleans general contractor named Charles Aponza. Charles came to New Orleans in 2012 to teach in the Recovery School District. He bought a fixer-upper, restored it himself, and then friends started asking him to help with their houses. In 2015 he turned his home building skills into a business - Brighter Horizons Construction. Charles and Brighter Horizons came up through Propeller’s Impact Accelerator. Then there’s the other side of what comes out of Propeller. A nonprofit. In 2014, Kimberly Novod and her husband Aaron were expecting their first child. Their son Saul was born prematurely at 28 weeks. He spent 20 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. He died there. Kimberly has said publicly that the question she was left with was, “What do I do with all the love?” Her answer was Saul’s Light – a New Orleans nonprofit she founded to support NICU families and bereaved families across Louisiana. Today, Saul’s Light serves around 200 Louisiana families a year.Beyond emotional support, they provide financial assistance. And as an advocacy group, Saul’s Light has produced two Louisiana state laws – a tax credit for stillborn children, and a requirement that health insurance, including Medicaid, cover prescription human milk. There’s a tendency, when we talk about business in New Orleans, to default to conversations about tourism, hospitality, Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras… The fun stuff. We don’t hear so much about the social justice economy: people who are building businesses and organizations to fix things that are broken. At Propeller they put that work at the center of their existence. Charles came up through Propeller and grew a construction business that builds homes New Orleanians can actually afford. Kimberly came up through Propeller and built an organization that helps 200 families a year go through one of the hardest things a person can experience. As in music, sometimes in business the silence is as powerful as the conversation. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Recorded live at Bayou Boogaloo during Jazz Fest in New Orleans — two of our favorites in one green room. Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce) and Wally Ingram (percussionist, collaborator extraordinaire) join us for a wide-ranging conversation as the golden-hour sun goes down over the bayou. We get into the deep connection between the Grateful Dead world and New Orleans music, what it was like for Eric to join Phil Lesh on stage with no rehearsal and an 80-song set list, and how Wally ended up on the Bob & Phil duo tour with literally a djembe and a pair of bongos. Plus: how Eric produced Aaron Neville's Grammy-winning album Apache, the story of Lawrence sleeping on his studio floor before they were famous, his new music collaboration platform Ensemble, and why Billy Kreutzmann plays like a New Orleans drummer. Oh, and Eric's five-year-old son is really into James Brown right now. Just FYI.

It seems that we have arrived at the end of May 2026, as well as the end of another busy week at Charlottesville Community Engagement. This week began with a holiday and ushered in a switch to a morning publication as opposed to an afternoon one, a transition intended to prepare for a more active future covering local and regional government in the community. One hopes.Mostly every story that features soundbites from a meeting is produced using skills I learned in radio over 30 years ago. The podcast is a weekly digest of some of those stories and is a slightly different edition from the award-winning radio show that airs on WTJU every Saturday. Well, one award. The Alliance for Community Media recently recognized the radio show with a 2026 Hometown Media Award for Best News Program. Hit play and listen!In this edition show:* Albemarle Supervisors briefed on how county government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (read the story)* Charlottesville Planning Commission briefed on environmental reviews underway (read the story)* RSWA can now safely accept lithium batteries; new baling facility cost less than expected (read the story)* RSWA Board approves $11.7 million budget for FY2027 (read the story)* Biosolids company reduces amount of land requested to be sludge eligible (read the story)* Health-oriented community fair happening midday Saturday at Washington Park (read the story)* The Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review takes a look at new design for a student housing building near Westhaven (read the story on C-Ville Weekly)When you're done listening, share with someone else!First shout-out: Charlottesville Jazz Festival is less than two weeks away!In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Charlottesville's Downtown Mall, JazzFest2026 will offer audiences a chance to enjoy nationally and internationally acclaimed artists and many of Charlottesville‘s finest musicians over four days of club, concert, and featured performances.Multiple stages in the Downtown Mall area will host special events with outstanding artists and the festival will feature a two-night/multi-venue Club Circuit with no cover charges. One way to learn what's happening is to follow the Charlottesville Jazz Society's Facebook page.The Charlottesville Jazz Festival's mission is to bring people together through the spirit of jazz—celebrating its culture and qualities of innovation, improvisation, and collaboration.JazzFest 2026 will foster those qualities for the benefits they offer both the art form and the community.Second shout-out: Consider support for Town Crier Productions!In July, this newsletter and occasional podcast will mark the 6th anniversary. There have now been at least 1,060 regular editions, over 360 Week Ahead Versions, and dozens of property transaction editions. All of the work is done from my sense that people should know what's happening in local and regional government.I'm only able to do this work because of a steady stream of people who want to help cover the costs to research and produce stories about land use, transportation, economic development, and whatever else I can get together in a given edition.This continues to be an experiment and one worth doing as long as I can. The business model is overly simple.* I'll report as much as I can and keep building up a system that allows me to do more reporting* People who want to support the work can do so through ways that make sense to themOn that latter point, paid subscriptions through Substack work quite well. There is a chance at some point that the newsletter delivery mechanism moves somewhere else, but that's a project term at least two or three horizons away. Any amount helps, but be warned I may increase the base price in July.I've also set up a way for people to make a charitable contribution to support the journalism. This is through the Tiny News Collective and I've got a lot of ideas on what that might mean for the future of this work.A bit about shout-outs. When I launched this venture back in 2020 during the pandemic, I promoted a Patreon account and offered brief promotional messages in exchange for them being at a certain tier. Many are still paid for that way, but I'm no longer taking new ones.Instead I have an ever-evolving media kit for a sponsorship package that's received a few bites. I introduced a line at the top of the regular newsletter and am trying to measure how many people click. This media kit is currently available by request because I am very much still trying to figure out that system.In any case, the real question is: Did I read all of this in the podcast version or did I say something else? You'll just have to hit play! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit communityengagement.substack.com/subscribe

Today on the show we talked about Jazz Fest, Chris Carr, Rick Jackson, Iran Deal, Memorial Day Festivities and Malcolm X.

Episode 24 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie opens not in a record shop or a green room, but in the unglamorous reality of domestic collapse: Brian's gas hot water service fails, leaving him hunting for a plumber and waiting five days for resolution. Musically, the emotional high point is a warm, informed appreciation of David Byrne.  The hosts tip their hats to Byrne's wider career, including his work with Brian Eno, particularly ** My Life in the Bush of Ghosts **, and note his recent appearance at Jazz Fest.

Jazz Fest sold out Saturday - did it FEEL like it sold out? Earth Wind & Fire was notably missing some fire; How many people does it take to sell out Jazz Fest, anyway? SCOTUS throws pro-choice movement a lifeline - for now; Emily Blunt has advice for those who hate their jobs

Saturday was the first non-Rolling Stones day that Jazz Fest had to stop selling tickets because so many people were in attendance - but how many people was that, exactly?

Did the Eagles draw so many people to the second Saturday of Jazz Fest it felt TOO crowded? Did it actually sell all the way out? What does that mean, anyway?

Scoot's experience of Earth Wind & Fire's 2026 Jazz Fest performance left a lot to be desired. Did you experience the same thing?

Most people think success in music looks like the spotlight. The front man. The headliner. The name on the marquee. But there is another path. One built on preparation, consistency, and being ready when the call comes. In this episode, I sit down with Frank Grocholski, a professional guitarist, session player, and touring musician for Cowboy Mouth, to talk about what it really looks like to build a life in music. From getting his first guitar at three years old to teaching himself by ear off Nirvana, The Beatles, and Metallica to touring the world before he was 20 to stepping on stage at Jazz Fest in front of 30,000 people Frankie's story is not about chasing the spotlight. It is about becoming the guy who gets the call. We talk about the grind, the moments that mattered, and what it means to build a career between airplanes and amplifiers. If you have ever wondered what it really takes to do what you love for a living, this one is for you.

Well we tried to schedule Jason Scheff who's coming out with us this summer on the Happy Together Tour but that will have to wait until next week but don't miss that one.  In the meantime we visit each other and get a nice report from Susan from Jazzfest in New Orleans.  Enjoy!!

Get in loser, we're going swimming in a polluted outflow canal; When is a lake not a lake? After 42 years, WWL mainstay Steve St. John will retire; Nice weather doesn't mean Jazz Fest isn't gonna be kinda smelly and nasty; What is Miller Lite getting right in it's ad messaging?

Yes, the weather will be lovely Saturday and Sunday - but the huge amount of rain Thursday and Friday means it's gonna be MUGGY and MUDDY

 If you've ever attended Jazz Fest then it's likely you've seen the Black Masking Indians, dancing and singing on stage or parading down the path. The Indians have actually played a role in Jazz Fest since its founding, and the music event helped to make more people aware of the Backstreet culture.Last week, WWNO's Alana Schreiber spent some time with Black Masking Indians getting ready for Jazz Fest performances. They discussed how the culture has changed over time, from one of seclusion and occasional infighting, to one of community and sharing. Any day now, a decision is expected in a bench trial challenging forced labor on the farm line at the Louisiana State Penitentiary – better known as Angola. The lawsuit was filed three years ago by both current and former incarcerated men, who argue the work constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.For more, WWNO's Michael McEwen spoke with Samantha Pourciau, a senior staff attorney at the Promise of Justice Initiative, the organization representing the plaintiffs in federal court. The Grammy award-winning New Orleans band, Tank and the Bangas, is coming out with a new album, The Last Balloon. This Saturday May 2, fans can catch the band promoting their latest songs at the Joy Theater. Lead singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball and band member and co-founder, Norman Spence, dive into some of the tracks and discuss the band's Grammy win for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas, Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters It was great. Like any day you spend at Jazz Fest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was Sunday, April 26, 2026. Hot, humid and beautiful. I got to see the tail end of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers set. I really enjoyed hearing them play! Then I finally got to see Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters live and in person. Dopsie is a performer who channels James Brown with unimaginable energy. He brings a relentless drive to the washboard and managed to keep the crowd in a state of constant motion. Next, I had the privilege of seeing the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas once again. There is a profound sincerity in her voice. There's no one quite like her. She shared a poignant moment with the audience, noting that while she may have never had a million-selling record, but she has millions of fans. We all cherish what she does. The day concluded with a headline performance by Rod Stewart. Seeing a legend of his stature in the context of the Fair Grounds was something I won't forget. He delivered a set that felt like both a grand finale and a celebration of showmanship in the classic sense. Rod and his band moved seamlessly from hit to hit. And you could tell he had a genuine appreciation for the festival atmosphere and the city. I heard a lot of music! From the sounds of Mento and Zydeco to the world-renowned icons on the main stage, the 2026 festival was like all the other days of Jazz Fest I've witnessed. It was a day of phenomenal performances that personified the New Orleans spirit. The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat.
