From hardtails to rigid single speeds, underbiking forces you to ride more dynamically, improve line choice, work different muscles and build serious MTB skills. Underbiking is a fun, budget-friendly way to turn familiar trails into fresh challenges.  The guys also debate 'overbiking,' ideal bike setups, argue about gravel bikes (spoiler: Dan is not a fan), and agree that mixing it up keeps things interesting.
