In this episode Josh and Dane discuss and debate (argue even) about annoying mountain bike stuff. Some of the topics we debate on include…
- Presta valves + chunky sealant.
- Dunlop valves.
- British brake lever setup (rear brake on left / front brake right).
- MOAB closing its lift (yes, they had one).
- Spoke holes inside rims (requires rim tape = tubeless system failure point).
- Nipple management.
- Rim tape that won’t stick.
- Overwhelming # of mountain bike tire variants. (width, tread patterns, compounds, casings).
- YouTube “expert advice” on mountain bike tires.
- Microscopic sized rotation indicators on mountain bike tires.
- Accidentally putting tires on the rim, backwards.
- Flat mount disc brake caliper mounts = frequent alignment issues.
- Monster gravel bikes.
- Mountain bike standards constantly changing.
- Press fit bottom brackets.
