Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 170 of the MTV podcast presented and hosted by Worldwide Cyclery Kettle Mountain Apparel and Trail One Components. I'm Jared.

I'm Liam. And my name is Trevor. That is right. Ladies and gentlemen.

My name have. We are back and in this episode we are going to discuss some exciting new stuff from the Revel, plus some classic listener questions ranging from the right tire for your bike to emergency toolkits servicing your pedals and everything in between.

It's not something you hear every day is servicing your pedals, is it?

No, sometimes you've got to do it though.

Sometimes you do have to do it.

I mean, granted, I was at a SRAM event who owns time.

But they said, and it is true, that the pedal is probably the most

The most neglected, for sure.

Most neglected and just like...

Yeah, I got a lot of stress on a pedal.

A lot of stress, you forget about them.

They're literally unseen under your feet.

Yeah.

And you need them really bad. You do. You can't ride a bike without them. The unsung hero of your bike. Yeah. And if you ever broken a pedal or a crank arm, it is terrifying. Yeah. I've had a Shimano pedal like freeze up on me. Or the whole, I've had the whole body like slide off your axle. Oh. Yeah. See, this, ladies and gentlemen is why you want to give your pedals love. Yep. That's some words of wisdom. But how about Zach's words of wisdom? It got a little something more, a little deeper for you from Zach today. I still love riding bikes and I always will. but running genuinely changed the trajectory of my life.

It reshaped how I think, how I deal with discomfort, how I show up when things get hard.

In a real way, it altered the course of my world over the past few years.

This quote is from a book called The Longest Run, and it really nailed something I've felt ever since getting into running.

Endurance sports, whether it's running, cycling, or anything
