In this week’s GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Blake Samson is joined by Rich Payne, to discuss whether mountain bikes have peaked in design? Or will we continue to see more innovation in MTB? In the rest of the show, we look at the Red Bull Rampage results, plus the usual favourites including this week’s FAILS Of The Week, some super nice MTB’s locked away in the Bike Vault and much more!

    1. If I win this bike I invite you lad's to my place (South Tyrol Dolomites) and we're gonna shred the dirt outta this rig!! 🎉😂❤

    2. I don't think mountain bikes have peaked, but they are on a level where it doesn't matter which amount of money you spend, you'll find a great bike 🙂

    3. I think the beauty of design is you will see it filter down into the cheaper bikes as time goes on making it so budget restricted riders will be able to do more on cheaper bikes.

    4. I was going to submit the design of the bike but when I saw the terms and it said you have to cover the cost of the shipment and other stuff I was sad and I didn’t submit it I guess I am rocking the cheap hard tail 😢

    5. I added a bash guard because I ride rocky terrain and it was painful to hit the rocks with the chainring. However, it seems that hitting rocks with the hard plastic bash guard brakes the bike and sends you OTB whereas the chain on the chainring slides over the rock. How bad is a rock hit on the chainring? Should bash guards be made of hard, shiny metal?

    6. When that Transition popped up in bike vault I thought "I've seen that locally" then they affirmed it was from my town Haha pretty cool

    7. I really hope i win, i cracked my frame and my parents wont buy me a new one, and nobody will hire me because im 14 (ive applied to many places)

    8. Orbea Staff: “Shove the cables through the headset and offer some new colors.” I’m so glad that I got my recent year Rallon before this nonsense happened.
