Show 330 – Welcome to Full Spectrum Cycling Show 330! It’s Mar10 Day, and we’re talking all things bikes and Milwaukee. Maybe a bit of beer. We’ve got details on Dave’s bike, Justin Timberline, and its 34th Birthday Ride, the Bay View Rollout coming up in May, and Strummerfest at Club Garibaldi’s in September. We’ll catch up on the latest from the 30th Street Rail Trail meeting, check out a Rohloff vs Pinion drivetrain smackdown from Tumbleweed’s Daniel Molloy, and share some e-bike news. There’s fresh fat-bike gear from Revel, Esker and Blivet, plus a Fat Bike Birkie recap, and updates from the Fat-bike.com Lab, newsletter, and Micro Dose podcast. Grab a beer and hang out with us while we roll through everything that’s happening in the fat-bike world.
