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.
