Kenny starts the show off drooling over his 1300-something gram Nox Composites/Industry Nine wheelset and drooling some more over his lovely bike. Matt gives you way more thoughts about the TRP Spyke brakes that he's been testing than you can possibly process. Plus, you get another listener question about a worn out, old bike.

Huge thanks to Michael for the $25 donation to the show. The lights stay on another week!

"I would rather ride an Avid brake, I would rather just ride around with a stick and jam it in my wheel to stop."

Rebecca is candid and shares her thoughts on pushing her limits, racing, her new sponsor, gravel events, her Kokopelli Trail record, and much more.

"Are you kidding me? That'll be death by boredom...I went because I was asked to go...There is no hiding in the gravel - you can't just sit in a road peloton and that's what I thought it would be like...but I was wrong."

About 40 Hands

A fan of riding bikes with one gear, malt liquor, riding without knowing how many miles I’ve covered, and strip clubs that let you bring your own keg. I typically have a stupid grin on my face, it is because deep down I know that no matter what, my mom thinks I’m cool. Denver, Colorado, USA

About D2

I am a writer and a photographer. I never killed a man in Reno, but I once rode a bike through a casino in Vegas. Bikes are cool, huevos rancheros are for breakfast, whiskey is for dinner. Denver, Colorado, USA
