This week, Ronan and Dave ponder how they would equip an entry-level road bike, and while chatting, realise that maybe the industry has backed itself into a costly corner.Of course, there's a PSA and a bunch of tech news to discuss. Meanwhile, members of Escape Collective get access to Ask a Wrench, where this week Dave and Zach Edwards answer four member-submitted technical questions.Enjoy!Time stamps:3:15 - How would we spec an entry-level road race bike22:30 - A PSA to grease your axles27:20 - Cervelo's new R530:40 - Castelli's PFAS-free poor weather jacket37:00 - SRAM's 1987 Limited Edition Silver group38:00 - What's coming up, plus Escape gets a much-wanted feature42:00 - Ask a Wrench (member's only)44:00 - Suspension service intervals and not riding50:00 - Breaking chainring bolts56:00 - Using a shorter fork on a modern XC bike1:01:30 - Why are aero wheels not a thing in fast MTB races?

Blake Samson (aka Zimblake) is on the podcast!! After nine years at GMBN, Blake opens up for the first time about what it was really like to be part of one of the world's biggest MTB YouTube channels. He takes us inside the “gold rush” early days, the reality of filming 365 videos a year, the sunshine shoots, idea sessions, thumbnail battles, and the relentless pace that nearly broke him. Blake also shares how Martin Ashton brought him into the fold, the story behind the legendary Bucket Bike, his approach to reaching audiences outside of MTB, and his surprising pick for the one bike he'd ride for life. And as one chapter ends, Blake teases the next: going all-in on his own channel with a mix of MTB, outdoor builds, Jeeps, 4x4 adventures, camping, motorbikes, fishing, and big adventures still to come.

Nick is a rider who proves that passion, persistence, and maybe a touch of stubbornness can take you pretty far—whether that's up a Wasatch climb at sunrise or across the finish line at Leadville. He grew up in Salt Lake City as the oldest of three kids. He earned his Eagle Scout, served an LDS mission in Milan, Italy, earned his Economics degree from the U and MBA from Westminster. He even found time to volunteer at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, supporting the U.S. Olympic Team with athlete services and translation. He's been with Optum for 23 years, working his way up from sales to Director of Business Operations, and I think he'd tell you the reason he's stayed so long is because of the people and relationships. He's been married to his wife, Jennilynn, for 17 years - and she keeps him fueled with plenty of baked goods. He is a proud dad of two (one through fertility treatments and one through adoption), and shares his home with Bella, a 5-year-old St. Bernard who probably weighs more than all of his bikes combined. He's been passionate about sports since he was young. He ran track and cross country, once ran a marathon, finishing in 4hrs and 4 min, and swore ‘never again,' and eventually found his true love in cycling. Since then, he's tackled countless endurance events—multiple century rides, six LOTOJAs, Steamboat Springs Gravel, and most recently, the Leadville 100 MTB. Nick is so grateful for the Mi Duole team. Riding with them has pushed him to grow as a cyclist while also creating meaningful friendships that extend beyond the bike.  Around the house, he's known as the guy who fills the garage with bikes, never stops talking about cycling, and occasionally finishes a project or two in between rides. Passionate, disciplined, and just stubborn enough to keep pushing through the hard stuff is what makes him such a strong rider and a great husband and father.

Feedback is synonymous with high-quality stands and training bike gear. Because it is no mystery that wherever you go on road, MTB and CX races, you will always spot that at least half of the mechanics use the unmistakable red stand.I had a talk with Doug, founder and CEO of the company, to discuss the past, future and present of the brand, and of course, there were a lot of CX and sustainability chats.Enjoy.Episodes note:⁠Zürich Cycling Movie Night #2⁠Feedback SportsVoice by: Stefano Nucera aka Calamaro Photos by: Music by: The Spinning BlowFish: The BroomWagon Podcast

In dieser Episode geben wir Dir exklusive Inside-Stories aus unserer 2-Monatigen Coaching-Tournee, die uns nach Livigno, Reschen und Gedern führte. Statt Theorie bekommst Du echte Einblicke: Was haben unsere Teilnehmer erlebt? Welche überraschenden Learnings haben wir als Coaches gesammelt? Und was kannst Du für Dein eigenes Mountainbike-Training für die Trails mitnehmen? Wir sprechen über: - Du stehst im Juli auf über 2000 hm plötzlich im Schnee - was macht das mit einem?  - Warum Nässe und rutschige Wurzeln die besten Lehrmeister sein können. - Welche Aha-Momente unsere Teilnehmer hatten – und was die Leute anders machen, die sich krass weiterentwickeln.  - Was uns frustriert hat.  - Welche Skills Erwachsene wirklich brauchen, um auf Trails sicherer und entspannter zu fahren. - Was wir als Coaches selbst über das Lernen, Üben und Dranbleiben mitgenommen haben. Wir merken wie so oft: Beim Mountainbiken lernen als Erwachsener geht es nicht nur um Fahrtechnik und Bike-Technik – es geht auch oft um Erfahrungswerte, den förderlichen Umgang mit Überraschungen und Selbstzweifel. Wir teilen Geschichten, die Dich motivieren sollen, Dich auf dem MTB weiterzuentwickeln.  Hier die in dieser Folge genannten Produkte, die uns SEHR durch den Regen und Schnee geholfen haben: Anstelle einer dunklen Brille, lieber eine selbsttönende Brille

I first heard Jeff on Vital MTB's podcast titled The Financial State of MTB which really blew my mind. This dude can analyze so many different angles of the bike industry being an avid mountain biker/pro racer combined with a background of finance, tech, and start ups. He digs beneath the surface to truly understand how things are the way they are and learn from the past to understand the future. In today's world most opinions are surface level and it is refreshing to talk to someone that views the bike industry from so many angles. We discuss learning about the bike industry from earnings calls of Fox Factory, trends and predictions of the bike economy, and his personal take on certain brands/preferences. This may be one of the most fascinating podcast interviews I have done yet and I hope you think so too! P.S. He is coming out with a competitive product to Strava!!!!

Meredith JUST completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB 104 mile mountain bike race in Leadville Colorado. If you think this is a story of success and the power of planning, think again. Leadville is known for its... unknowns. And there were plenty of those. This conversation explores the entire experience of this monumental race through the lens of a very good amateur rider doing her first ever Leadville 100. What makes someone choose Leadville? What makes it so hard? How does it compare to a race like Unbound? And what were the biggest lessons? All of those questions will be answered and more in this candid, open, and detailed conversation.

Trek has just launched a versatile trail platform in its new Fuel. Riders here at CCM have been fans of the previous Fuel EX and the Slash enduro bikes. The new Fuel, which actually comes in three configurations, has elements of both of the preceding models as well as the 27.5” Remedy. In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, MTB editor Terry McKall speaks with three folks from Trek about the new Fuels. Ross Rushin, Trek mountain bike marketing manager, Dylan Howes, Trek mountain bike senior engineer and Trek marketing manager for Canada Taylor Cook get into the details about the expansive system for talking on all kinds of trails.The discussion turns to the project both McKall, and CCM photo editor and MTB tester Matt Stetson have been working on: a comparison between the Fuel LX model and EX one. McKall took the longer travel bike out on the trails of Vancouver Island, while Stetson played on routes in Ontario. You can check the video with McKall and Stetson's insights, after you listen to the pod.Trek offers three versions of the Fuel: EX, MX and LX. The Fuel EX and LX models both run 29” wheels. The former has a 150-mm fork and 145 mm of travel. On the LX, there's 160 mm of travel working with a 170-mm fork. Finally, the MX is a mullet bike (29” front, 27.5” rear wheel) sporting a 160-mm fork and 150 mm of rear wheel travel. To add to the lineup, there's also the new Fuel+ eMTB, which replaces the EXe. It is similarly available in EX, MX and LX versions with a new motor and battery. Find out more details about all those bikes.McKall and his guests discuss how Trek came to develop the new Fuel system and what changes designers had to make to the frame so that it could work with such a wide range of forks and travel options. They give you more information about what's required to convert from one platform to the other. Also, Howes and Rushin talk about how riding has evolved and how those changes have affected the design of the new Fuel system.

What does it take to race almost every Enduro World Series round since 2013, survive a life threatening brain aneurysm and then keep racing? In this episode of The Ride Companion we sat down with Iago Garay to hear about his journey from early Mega Avalanche races to the modern EDR World Cup. We cover everything from how Enduro racing has evolved, the training demands, nutrition, memorising tracks and Iago's near death brain aneurysm in 2023 that changed everything. We also dive into what he would do if he ran the sport, why coverage is still an issue, how enduro is still the most relatable form of MTB and how his recovery reshaped his entire perspective on life.

And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn't stop him and the rest is history.  On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more.

In this special “lost episode,” I sit down with Sam Alison, the founder of Singular Cycles — a UK-based brand that's been quietly ahead of the curve since 2006. Sam shares how his journey from Australian shop rat to UK-based frame designer was shaped by a lifelong love of bikes, and how his early experiments with 29ers and drop bars paved the way for what we now call gravel bikes. We talk about his iconic models like the Swift, Peregrine, and Griffin, the rebirth of Singular with titanium offerings, and his philosophy on timeless design, frame material, and rider-first geometry. Whether you've seen a Singular bike roll by and thought “what is that,” or you're just curious about the origins of modern gravel geometry, this conversation is well worth the listen.
