It's time for the third instalment of The Wild Ones Podcast. And boy is it a good one. This week the lads chat about groupsets and why they're backing SRAM, debate whether rim brakes are dead, call out some marketing BS in the world of 'gravel' and 'indoor' specific products and debate chain wax, shaved legs, Lance Armstrong and more in another round of Overrated or Underrated.
