Guitar Ted shares what he found at Interbike in Las Vegas. Three areas of cycling have really taken off.
Fatbikes have blown up over the last three years and now companies are commonly offering carbon goodies, including forks, frames, and rims. Many other fatbike options have also come to market, including tires, gear, and other components. This year the 27.5 inch wheel size has taken over this year's news and it has become a mainstay in many company lineups. In the background, the gravel riding scene has been experiencing huge growth in rides and races filled to capacity.
Listen in to hear a discussion about what Guitar Ted saw of each of the three groups in Vegas.
