The Trend The Bike Industry Needs To Fix! | The Global Mountain Bike Show Ep.24

This week on The Global Mountain Bike Show, James, Owen, and Adam discuss a major crisis facing the cycling industry: the growing shortage of qualified bike mechanics and why maintaining modern bikes is becoming more difficult. They also dive into the latest tech from Roc d'Azur, including Decathlon's aero XC concept bike and an innovative e-bike gearbox system. Ferg joins the show to break down all the action and weather drama from Red Bull Rampage.
