We Can't Believe We Used To Use These Products! | The Global Mountain Bike Show Ep.22

This week on The Global Mountain Bike Show, James, Owen and Rich dive into the rise of alternative race series and new pay-per-view prize structures shaking up traditional World Cup racing. We also look back at obsolete mountain bike tech, discussing which old-school standards we're glad to see gone, and a few we surprisingly miss. Finally, we tackle the issue of antisocial behavior, snobbery, and trail etiquette in our community.
