There is still a lot we don’t know about the new tariffs, but experts all appear to agree – the costs of new bikes, as well as parts, accessories and everything else are likely to increase.

Steve and Kristin sit down to discuss how tariffs may be already affecting purchasing decisions for manufacturers, supplies and retailers, as well as what you can do to save in the short term whether you have a bike, or need/want a bike.

We also discuss the beautiful red SID Ultimate Flight Attendant RockShox fork spotted during this past weekend’s UCI World Cup in Araxá, and the “ken-energy” of certain naming conventions.
