The Many, Many Big Ideas of Williams Racing Products

Mic Williams was racing as a privateer when Covid hit and racing went on hold. But instead of binging Netflix, he used his free time to start a very unusual bike company — Williams Racing Products. Mic has a whole lot of ideas for how to make bikes better and WRP has offered a lot of out-there products, including what can only be described as the reincarnation of the Honda RN-01 downhill bike. So we sat down with Mic to talk about all the big ideas he has for WRP; the Privateer Parts Program and privateer racing in general; and much more.TOPICS & TIMES:The origins of WRP (1:27)Mullet links (8:24)The heyday of garage-built bike parts (14:21)Centre Hub (20:12)The return of the Honda RN-01?
