This week, Senior Technical Consultant/Correspondent Ian Schmidt tags in for mattio as we discuss the encroachment of MTB technology into road and cyclocross bikes. First up is a fairly detailed discussion about the pros and cons of road tubeless tires. Then we get all WHBP and wonder about the implications of all this new tech for cost and accessibility of the sport.
