Two guys, 10 mountain bike myths, and one question: fact or BS? Josh and Dane sit down at Guru Bikes to settle the trail talk that’s been going around forever. Some myths get thrown out right away, like the idea that a cracked carbon frame belongs in the trash. Some turn out to be completely true, like what happens when you mix wax and non-wax chain lube. And a few start real arguments. Modern MTB geometry? Clipless pedals? Strava? Let’s just say there were no unanimous decisions.

Along the way, you’ll hear about hydrogen embrittlement and Simple Green, why “get your butt back” is outdated advice for steep descents, chamois vs. no chamois, and what’s changing with SRAM T-Type chain wear. Josh also gives a quick report on Trestle Bike Park. Listen, laugh, then come tell us where we got it wrong.
