Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
Oh, you think commentating is your ally.. But you merely adopted the sport; Rob was born in it, moulded by it. He didn't see the mic until he was already a racer, by then it was nothing to him but BLINDING!

Field Test: 5 Trail Bikes Face the Efficiency Test
@mikelevy: that’s the real takeaway here - they all pedal fine at the power that most ppl climb, most of the time. Which is great to know.
I’d wager that factors other than the frame/component spec make a bigger difference in this efficiency scenario, and probably your PB subjective impression is more important. There are some easy ways to make this test maybe more accurate.. but they’d be less digestible and less appealing to package as a simple climbing ‘test’.
Give a holler to the CyclingTips crew and have them do the climb efficiency work at the same time, link in PB article to CT test for the watt nerds. Single stone, meet 2 birds.

Field Test: 5 Trail Bikes Face the Efficiency Test
I'd be happy to see both the Mikes doing 5 min climbs at 250w NP and then average both times for a final result.
The differences do add up over hours, but nobody irl is doing 330w for hours. 250w normalized would help add a little more science and a bit less bro.

Field Test: Santa Cruz Hightower - Extra Normal, Extra Good
On a positive note.. this round of Field Test episodes seem to be a bit longer than others, and Mikes are always a classic pair to listen to talking about bikes. Enjoying the casual, unhurried reviews. Nice work y’all.

Opinion: Group Rides Are the Worst
@caboose: lol ok true, and HQ gives lots of the reasons why.
He’s also on point about those select rides with buds that are special and stay in the memory banks!

Tech Tuesday: How to Set Up Your Mountain Bike's Cockpit
I tried telling the credit card company it was *my* bike because I set up the cockpit correctly.
They had a different opinion.
