After a look at commuter eBikes and Campagnolo, you mountain bike tech heads must be wanting some action? Well, I hope this was worth the wait? We have a stunning show with Jarno Hoogland. He is not only a former downhill racer from the Netherlands (!) but also has a long career in the mountain bike trade as is now editor of the excellent https://www.imbikemag.comIn this pod we discuss what bikes and components will actually reach the consumers and trade this year, eMTB and acoustic MTB innovation and tech goodness, why downgrading your MTB is sometimes a good idea and of course, why Jarno chose to live in Switzerland over anywhere else in the world. (I think Slough was a close second.)Once you’ve heard the show, check out the latest IMB online, it’s a cracking read and makes us yearn for a Europe wide road trip with the mountain bikes before a blat over to Whistler for a pilgrimage.
