2024 and we still getting flats...gotta be a foam out there that would completely eliminate it. Every ride checking air pressure, hoping sealant is still fresh enough gets old. Moto has it already in Mousse
MTB would have evolved faster if we had copied MX bikes rather than road bikes. There was the technology to make spring forks/shocks with decent damping back in the 90s, BOS made amazing suspension for the Sunn Chipie team. There's still a lot of areas where modern bikes can improve. Durability, servicability, less standards, better handling/geometry for all price ranges. Ebikes will get lighter and have more range and power.
These guys keep discussing the evolution of bikes, or that bike technology is so "new".... but the Tour de France athletes of 1903 were able to traverse 1,980 miles on what was already an almost perfect design.... Anything since then has been very very small tweaks.
Amazing episode, watched nearly every one. Could we include timestamps?

Road bikes are a completely different type of engineering. A DH bike vs a road bike are VASTLY different machines obviously.
Surrons aren't mountain bikes and IMO guys like this who want to continually blur the lines do more harm to the sport than good.
