Ordinary Outside

It's another rainy Wednesday night at the Tuesday Sound Studio but the Gear Fix Duo is excited. Mike just got a new road steed and he's pretty excited about it. The Duo discusses the future of Dual Snowboards, and it doesn't look to be very bright. Shimano adds more electronic shifting to their road bike line-up and it's time to get schooled in a little trail talk. All this and more on this week's episode of Gear Fix.

Topics of discussion on episode 24 include: Throw Back Throw down at Breckenridge, Enduro motorcycles, Specialized's new electric bike the Turbo, Paris-Roubiax bike race, Trek's new Domane road bike, Pennywise's Bro Hymn, and Pearl Jam's documentary PJ20. As usually the Gear Fix duo go off on all kinds of crazy tangents on this week's episode of Gear Fix.

Spring time continues to influence the Gear Fix discussion. Listen along as Tim and Mike wrap up winter by talking about salsa gardens, canned peaches, British Columbia's proposed future jumbo resort, wind maps, more crazy ski accidents, random stories and a tent discussion that trumps all other tent discussions. That's right, on a scale from 1 to 10 this tent talk is an 11.

The Gear Fix Duo is back at the Tuesday Sound Studio but this time unsupervised. On this week's episode the Duo talks about spring skiing at Snowbasin, Mike skiing and Tim snowboarding, driving snow cats, huge late season avalanches, turning bikes into machines, Sram's new grip shift, and down vs synthetic sleeping bags. All this and more on episode 22 of Gear Fix. http://www.geargenius.com/

Returning to their humble beginnings the Gear Fix Duo is back in the '98 Honda Accord. With a new intro, that really isn't as big of a deal as they think it is, the Duo doesn't let the Honda get them down. Mike and Tim share more stories than normal in this episode as they recount more bad news from an already tragic ski and snowboard season. Other topics that are discussed are getting your bike ready for spring and Mike's wife's obsession with cargo bikes.

Episode 20! Can you believe it? Sit back and relax as Mike and Tim walk you through some outdoor industry news, how to get past the 'what ifs', a steel vs. carbon debate, and some spring time skiing and snowboarding tips.

Back at the Tuesday Sound Studio the Gear Fix Duo gets nice and comfortable while recapping a recent storm system that made its way through Northern Utah and most of the Western US. More avalanche fatalities make their way into the conversation as well as some new gear purchases. Mike and Tim discuss what they have in their backcountry ski/snowboard packs and talk helmets. The conversation gets a little political as the discussion turns to the National Parks. Join us for another amazing episode of Gear Fix. http://www.geargenius.com/

For episode 18 Gear Fix steps away for the comfortable Tuesday Sound studio and records from the sales counter of special guest Wayne Wheeler's new bike shop, Joy Ride Bikes. In this week's episode the Gear Fix Duo and Wayne talk about more bad avalanche news, some bike news, and Tim and Mike ask Wayne all kinds of questions that anyone who has ever dreamed of opening a shop of their own would ask someone who just did such a thing. So sit back, relax and enjoy. The hum of the heater is so real that you'll feel like you were there in person. http://www.geargenius.com/

There's more beard discussion in this week's episode of Gear Fix as Tim has decided to shave his beard. No need to worry as a sweet mustache remains. In this week's episode Mike discusses a recent online shopping experience gone wrong which leads to some tips and tricks when buying outdoor equipment and gear online. The Duo also discuss a pretty impressive rope swing in the Moab area of Utah, Mark Stephan and his amazing goal of riding his recumbent across the country this summer, Mike sells his beloved '93 FZJ80, and episode 17 wraps up by Mike and Tim dreaming of what they'd buy if they had a pocket full of money. All this and more on episode 17 of Gear Fix. http://www.geargenius.com/

There's really nothing like the simple pleasures in life. One of those pleasures happens to be new socks another is bandanas. Mike happens to have both on. Listen along as the Gear Fix duo discuss Mike's tainted shirt and their 3 favorite or most used pieces of outdoor equipment of all time. http://www.geargenius.com/
