This is great episode filled some some of the "hot topics" in the mountain biking world. The gang discusses carbon wheels, gravel bikes, fatbikes, the Surly Krampus, and Interbike, with a dash of armadillo thrown in.
It's a full hour packed with practical bike talk with a small dose of four-letter words.
Bonus content during the show: Kenny hates the 29+ platform.

This is show is packed with discussion from beginning to end. All 90 minutes! Usually episodes don't go over an hour, but this was special. Where else do you get a discussion about Gerry Pflug vs. Ben or vs. a bear or....
Ben Welnak is a guest on the show to discuss his Vapor Trail 125 experience. Andrea is all in for a future attempt at the VT125, but Matt and Kenny aren't so into actually racing it.
The debate on when and where stiff carbon wheels are appropriate goes on and Matt discusses his new bike situation. Check out the extras to see a picture of Matt's new Salsa Spearfish.
