Whether you're pushing on the pedals or letting gravity do the work, wind resistance is one of the major factors keeping you from going at warp speed.  Road cycling is full of aero this, wind-cheating that, with millions of dollars spent developing (and marketing) the slipperiest of products.  But this is a conversation rarely had in mountain biking. But why?  Tom and Seb talk through where aero makes a difference, what can be done, and why it should matter to you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seb dives deep into how, why and where suspension tuning works with Jake Ireland of Sprung Suspension. Suspension tuning can seems like a dark art. But what exactly can a tuning company do to improve your (already very sophisticated) mountain bike suspension? And if what they do is so good, why don't the shocks and forks they work on come with these modifications from the factory? Do Fox and RockShox not know what they're doing? Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. We sit down with Jake from Sprung suspension, a local tuning workshop, who candidly dives into what they do and why. Apologies for the background noise - we recorded this podcast in a busy workshop.   You can subscribe to the BikeRadar Podcast via a range of podcast services, just click ‘Subscribe’ to avoid missing an episode, or hit one of the buttons below!
