Cycling Together with Kristin & Steve
For over 25 years, Kristin and Steve of Steve the Bike Guy, an independent bicycle shop in Massachusetts, have been cycling together – keeping things rolling over roads and trails as they also navigated marriage, kids, and careers. Now, they are inviting you to join the ride as they share experiences, insights, and advice for anyone who does, or wants to, ride a bike.

Cycling Together with Kristin & Steve
New Mountain Bikes, Dropper Posts and Mechanic Answers
Kristin is getting a new mountain bike - a custom built BC40 from Allied Cycle Works. In addition to discussing why Allied is a good fit for the Shop, we discuss types of mountain bikes (cross-country, down country, all trail) as well as some of the component choices they are making while building the new bike.
Speaking of components, we discuss why dropper posts have become "required" equipment (and why we don't think that's a great idea) as well as answer questions from listeners and the internet on topics including mountain bike suspension, hooked and hookless rims, and bike gearing.
