Leadville Recap and is the Drop Bar Mountain Bike Finally Gaining Traction?

EPISODE 112 - Leadville Recap and is the Drop Bar Mountain Bike Finally Gaining Traction? What up party people. Well we almost had to record this Leadville recap episode without the one Bonk Bro who was actually at the race because homeboy Dylan Johnson was still asleep at the time of our schedule studio session… luckily he answered his phone and I wish y’all could’ve heard how frantic he was when he discovered he was almost going to miss the Leadville show. Anyway, that’s basically what we talk about the entire show. If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or slide your way into those Bonk Bros instagram DMs (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).
