## Resource

Today on the podcast, Jared, Jeff & Tydeman chat about some recent rides and Jeff's new bike build before debating a few topics in a new segment we're calling "how it aged" to see if certain trends in the MTB world aged like milk, or if they aged like wine. Then we get into a couple of listener questions where one listener is wondering if his bike is dated enough to justify a new rig, plus how to select the perfect tire for your bike and more. Tune in!
