The Short Travel Magazine Podcast

Trek does a Top Fuel switcharoo, Rocky Element hits the dirt, World Cup racing changes are kinda goofy, and buy some socks to help out...

Starting out with all the new secret changes that are starting to leak, new Fox XC forks, SID changes, and a truly surprising shift-speed test between 7 different drivetrains, new modular rear derrailleur system, and some racing wrapups including one of my own local races that didn't go the way I was expecting...

Oh no...drop bars on MTB has reared it's ugly head once again, World Champs coming up and you can guess who's going to win, Durango still rules, Canyon releases 3 cool bikes, patent stupidity, let's go!

Of course the Olympics must be discussed, the let down of a US National Championships without the real best racers in attendance, why do I have so darn many new helmets? Old BMX/mtb legent Toby Henderson made how much cash back in the day?

Got a long one for you here, first we talk Thomus bikes in the USA, then lots of geat stuff including how all XC race bikes look the same, Trek chopping skus, serious battery charging from Trek and Sram, the new Epic 8 might be my perfect XC bike, Flight Attendant rules, bigger rotors, the extremely confusing US Pro series, and USAC Mountain Bike Series are not the same, but have t

Exciting racing pre-World Cup, Spain, Puerto Rico, and the US riders are doing fantastic. We go over some industry news, not all doom and gloom. Cape Epic talk is starting to ramp up. Enough to keep you occupied I think...and another update on the YouTube channel progress.
