A good ol Mountainbike ramble. Paul Aston is not an unknown person in the bike media world. In this Testpilot Podcast we talk about, what he calls his „light bulb moment“ he had with a bike he first couldn’t really ride but made some geometry changes on to transform it to what he called back then „the best bike ever“. A second light bulb moment with Geometron Bikes from Chris Porter. A little bit about his crowd funded testing of bikes and components on his website AstonMTB.bike.
How he broke his first 5 bikes he purchased for his testing, how this led to building his very own bikes. This again led to many new influences and understandings in regards to bike geometry. History in bike development and how different it could have been if we relied on Moto- instead of roadbikes. We compare our philosophy of improving your skills on a short travel vs. a long travel bike…
It is a well packed hour of easy listening of two lads talking bikes. Enjoy!
CAUTION: This podcast may change your view on how you interpret numbers for kinematics and geometry of a bike. You may become a handful in after-ride-discussions with your buddies about which bike performs how and why. Welcome to the nerd side of bikes.
