On today's MTB Podcast Jeff, Jared, and Liam discuss their current favorite rides and then dive right into a comparison between the SRAM and Shimano drivetrains which includes the cassettes, derailleurs, and how the shifters feel while riding. We then segway into our favorite MTB handlebars, talking about the finer details of the bend, sweep, rise, and stiffness of each. Next up is Commecal’s Care Program which helps their existing customers with any potential build, setup, or potential warranty issues. Jared also gets on a video call with Micah Rice, the Executive Director of the Pikes Peak APEX Mountain Bike Challenge to discuss the race as well as how to set up a race in your local area.
