In this unfiltered episode of The Mountain Cog Podcast (recorded during the snowy Sedona Mountain Bike Festival) hosts Josh and Dane are joined by special guests Mike "Babyfoot" Jones and Derrick Kampfer for a raw, technical dive into mountain bike suspension. The conversation takes unexpected turns from the hilarious origins of "nipple management" in bike maintenance to detailed comparisons between Fox, DVO, and RockShox fork technologies, with expert insights on how suspension choice impacts ride feel and performance on different trails.

The episode explores the technical aspects of mountain biking while highlighting the welcoming nature of the mountain bike community. Listeners will gain valuable insights about suspension tuning, the debate between flat pedals versus clipless systems, and custom frame protection options like Ground Keeper designs. The hosts and guests share personal riding experiences, technical advice, and lighthearted trail stories that showcase why mountain biking attracts riders of all ages and skill levels despite the significant investment required to participate.
