16. New Mountain Bikes, Dropper Posts and Mechanic Answers
from Cycling Together with Kristin & Steve · host Kristin & Steve Brandt
Kristin is getting a new mountain bike - a custom built BC40 from Allied Cycle Works. In addition to discussing why Allied is a good fit for the Shop, we discuss types of mountain bikes (cross-country, down country, all trail) as well as some of the component choices they are making while building the new bike. Speaking of components, we discuss why dropper posts have become "required" equipment (and why we don't think that's a great idea) as well as answer questions from listeners and the internet on topics including mountain bike suspension, hooked and hookless rims, and bike gearing.Send us Fan MailSupport the showLeave a comment, question or topic suggestion for future episodes.Find Cycling Together with Kristin and Steve on YouTube for Closed Captioned video version.You can visit CyclingTogether.Bike for show notes or to learn more about Kristin and Steve.
