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"
You can hear Ryan now! Yay for $20 earbuds! Kyle talks about Bike Fest, Klint rants about XCO and we talk about the things that ruin rides if we don't have them
He has a strategy, and you're going to hate it.
Are MTB companies out of ideas and now can only copy others? Kyle FINALLY got a Santa Cruz and raced the Chubb Enduro. And, what should Ryan and Klint BET on regarding the BT Epic for 2024?
We're back and apparently we are resolved to do at least one of these a month in 2024. We discuss the insane amount of MTB bike brands, New Year's Resolutions and even some Supercross stuff.
Silent Bryce becomes not-so-silent as he joins Kyle, Ryan and Klint for a review of all the action at the 2023 BT Epic, 52.7 mi MTB Race. Best race of the year!
We are two days from the 2023 BT Epic and Kyle is racing this year. Naturally, there has been lots of drama this week.
This one is for all the mountain bike nerds.
How do the boys approach bike setup? Well, for Klint, some things are different between Enduro and XC, and the same goes for Kyle and Ryan. However, the what-and-why of every decision can differ significantly between riders.
It's time to get nerdy!
