ABOUT THIS EPISODEMatt and Kenny double team a rant about bicycle vs car tire cost. Later they remind you Joe Rogan talks to his listeners that way all the time. Kenny has been on the lifts already out at Deer Valley. Andrea still (really, still loving it) is liking the Mayhem. After a quick trip to Spot we found out she can run a piggy back shock. Tour Divide Riders have started hitting town.

Mark Landsaat – Noble BikesMark Landsaat was out at Sea Otter in April to share his relaunch of his new bike brand, Noble Bikes. Mark has some great experience in bike design in the cycling industry and shares his thoughts with Ben in a sit down interview in the Noble Bikes booth at Sea Otter.
About Noble Bikes: The Noble brand name was born on a bike ride. Me and my buddy Dave Pearson went on a mountain bike ride together and as we were riding up Corrall Pass I was thinking about possible brand names. At the top, Corrall Pass splits into several trails. We choose trail #1184 Noble Knob. While catching our breath after reaching the top I threw it out there, what about "Noble"?
