10: Will a Better Mountain Bike Make Me a Better Rider?
b'
I often wonder if a better or different bike would have helped me ride that section I just got off my bike and walked. Or is trust in the bike and self-confidence in my own ability? So I asked my friend Rusty Spiedel to come on and tackle this topic, and talk about what bikes can do for us. We discuss different wheel sizes and their pros and cons, different types of terrain and body types and the importance of the Adjustment Ride - do you have the right travel on your bike? Is the air in your fork enough or too much? Are you locking out the suspension at the right times? Lastly, if money were no object, what bike would you buy?
Lastly, Rusty shares with us a few tips plus a bonus one, on preventing your next mountain bike shit show.
