Shownotes Transcript

In this episode Matt and Jeff discuss the results from a recent survey that asked, "What is the least useful mountain bike innovation?)".

For those who missed our survey, the top five answers among nearly 10,000 votes were:

  • Electronic suspension control (22%)

  • Electronic shifting (17%)

  • Flip chips (14%)

  • Internal cable routing (12%)

  • Hip packs (7%)

Commenters pointed a few choices we didn't include in the survey, so we talked about those as well.

  • Steering stabilizers and limiters

  • Tire inserts

  • 20mm thru axles
