While visiting the San Lee Gravity Bike Park in Sanford, North Carolina, we recorded a spontaneous segment about the fun that is gravity parks. We discuss some gravity park basics, and why no jumping is required – just control your speed.
We also do a deep dive on mountain bike suspension inspired by a couple of questions Kristin spotted while scrolling one of her favorite mtb-related Facebook groups. We review basic terminology and setup including how to interpret the travel numbers of your bike, how to set the sag, and how where your ride, how you ride, and even how much you weigh can determine the right amount of suspension for you.
Listener feedback gets Kristin rolling on another pet peeve – male riders who feel the need to comment on equipment, or ask questions such as “did your husband bike you that bike.” As Steve says… “don’t be that guy.”
