Always appreciate your simple honesty Jeff. HUGE RESPECT to you. So many people in sales industries try to candy coat and put spins on news people dont want to hear. Honesty and transparency are on the decline in our world but i am glad to see, integrity is not yet a lost art. I think that is why i enjoy and trust the advice on this channel. Thank you.
Hopefully things will smooth out to a reasonable point where both sides can do well. I know many people that would like to get involved but some of the cost are unrealistic for many. As a business owner myself I understand both sides have to win. All the best. Enjoy your videos and do buy from you sometimes.
Love this series. WC has been such a good resource for me as a mountain biker over the years I really appreciate it. Happy to hear more podcasts are coming.
always fun and informative vids.. what more can i ask for!! U still have that option for 1000? lol if u came to my crib u better bring a bike LMAO.. thanx for all you do Jeff and your crew!!! oh and just got your title bars and stem and love em... again thanx so much for the years of honesty and great advice and info!!!
Give James Hayes a crisp hi five for me. That poor guy has had to answer more questions from me than anyone should have to and none of his upgrade recommendations have let me down yet.
We actually did our PA shop camping trip at Raystown last year. Such a fun place. Never heard of the Allegrippis Trail Days but will check it out. Thanks!
I been peeing in the bushes for years. Main thing is to make sure you rotate where you pee so as not to build up too much stench and too much urine in one spot will kill what ever plants there. Normally just a piss here and there on a plant is actually good for it, provides fertilizer, but you have to think about the pH, over fertilized and such that will kill the plant. I'm always rotating around the front and back yard on where to piss. I figured I have saved thousands of gallons of fresh potable water every year, and tens of thousands of gallons all these years since peeing in the bushes. Hell I even started pissing while showering too about 15years ago.
The fact that there are E-Bikes coming out that are almost the same weight as my acoustic enduro bike is crazy. I’m on a 2021 GT Force AL that comes in at a whopping 38 lbs, without a motor or a battery. Climbing on it is a struggle.
@@WorldwideCyclery I know. I want one but I think I’d rather sink that money into slapping Öhlins suspension, carbon wheels, and more fancy (expensive) bits.
I appreciate that breakdown of my question. I'll have to try riding on of our local DH trails chainless (done it before just not intentionally). Happy trails! PS What's your opinion on bike only, DH only trails? Our local organization, COMBA, has been fully embracing them and putting them everywhere. I personally love them but would love to hear your opinion.
It is super fun to ride with no chain, really worth a try so you can feel it for yourself in the most noticeable way. As for bike only trails, I think that is a great idea. But does depend on the trail network. If the trail was built by MTB'ers just for MTB then it should stay MTB only and be directional. If it's an old trail that hikers also use I like the idea of odd/even days. Odd days for MTB only, even days for hike only. Some places in CO are like that and it's really nice.
@Worldwide Cyclery That's pretty much my feelings as well. Next time you're in Colorado I highly recommend some of COMBA's trails. They are very unique especially for in Colorado. On thing that I have noticed with the even/odd days is those trails are notorious for conflict with hikers. It also tends not to deter many hikers. Apex is infamous for that.
I agree that the innovation with bikes has hit a bit of plateau, and I actually think it's going to recede a bit in the coming years. Things like Canyon's KIS is interesting, but it doesn't change the way we ride like the dropper post did. The dropper post became so "necessary" that it pushed people to 1x drivetrains. I don't think 1x (despite having additional benefits of chain retention and reliability) would be nearly as popular if the real estate on the left side of the bar wasn't needed for the dropper lever. I actually think the geometry progression will slow or even reverse as the industry and community shrinks post-boom. A lot of the rapid evolution of geometry has come from bikes becoming more specific to certain terrain (and the popularity of Enduro style riding). Manufacturers could sell a product line of 6 different models of FS bikes during the boom because the market was there. I think we may see a lot of companies pulling back to 2-3 models, but innovation may come in the form of adjustability and customization of those frames. Think better flip chips, adjustable kinematics like Canyon Shapeshifter, adjustable head angles, etc.
@Jeff, not sure if you remember me, I ran the GES and was close to Joe and Neko and Logan. Anyhow I had heard you are planning a Whistler trip and I and on the West coast and would like to be there the same week or two, so when are you going brother?
Dan! Hell yeah I remember. 2009 was an incredible summer of racing your series. We will be in Whistler June 11 - 15. Ping me on Insta and maybe we can grab a beer or a ride.
Now that is something I can get behind! I love Thailand, visited in 2015 and had such a good time. Ping me on Instagram and we'll see if we can work this out. Could be really fun to ride some local trails out there. @jeffcayley on Insta. Cheers!
Wellll sort of. Transition made a bike called the Relay with the claim you can ride with no battery but it's still just not really ideal but looks cool. That style hybrid might get someone in the future as the designs improve.
Great vid Jeff. I now own a number of Ketl items, all of which are fantastic. Any chance you'll come out with a pair of shorts chamois? I own a pair of the bib shorts and find them very comfortable.
We definitely will at some point. I actually wear chamois shorts more often than bibs myself but it's less popular so we haven't produced any as of late but it's on the road map :)
In 2017, at age 52, I got back into cycling. I'm a build my own the way I want it built guy, and you've been a go-to source for me on 4 builds so far. Thank you for all your help and tremendous customer service over the last 6 years; you have definitely earned my loyalty. If tough times are ahead, my best wishes for you and your continued success go without saying, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Seriously appreciate the kind words and you shopping with us. Awesome story to hear you getting back into a fun and healthy outdoor sport on 2 wheels. Keep charging :)
I have been tuning in to your content for a while. Always high-quality, always informative and fun. This one was super interesting Jeff. I look to to order from you guys but US shipping costs are like US foreign policy - f&cked.
Really like your company and the way you run it, I have some of your Ketl bike shorts and I give them a 10. 1 question are you going to get into the gravel/road bike components? Keep up the good work and I also like your videos.
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for giving the KETL stuff a try. As for gravel/road components, I don't think so. Our expertise is in the MTB world when it comes to bikes/components so we'll keep pushing on that with Trail One and working on making the apparel we've always wanted with KETL :) Cheers! - Jeff
Haha I am very careful to spread the pee while peeing and to also always pee in different spots. We've got about 30ft of bushes to water which has prevented in smell. Also, hydrate! Clear pee doesn't smell quite as strong.
Hey Jeff and crew, love the content on the channel. You guys make me laugh every video. Would you or have you ever considered adding a plus size to your Ketl apparel line. I’m talking 40+ waist size for example. It’s extremely hard to find quality mtb apparel for the larger people. Thanks guys.
for me, Ebikes are not MTB. the only excuse for an Ebike user to be called an MTB is if the user is Person with Disabilities. That is just my opinion though ;)
I think it’s smart of you to make Ketl. Look at the obvious, sports apparel is stupidly overpriced. Sure some of it’s better quality and details are more refined, but at the end of the day it’s just a piece of clothing that doesn’t really matter.
Thanks Jeff for a State of the Union of the Mt Bike business...I really appreciate your insights and always enjoy you and your goofy bike mates Jared and Liam...
@@WorldwideCyclery One of these days I'd love to stop by your shop. I lived in Newbury Park/Thousand Oaks for 25 years and loved all the places to ride around there. Now for the last almost 25 years, I have lived in a small town called Brentwood in Northern California...I really miss riding in Malibu Cyn and Santa Barbara...
Thanks! And yes we do plan to get those in black at some point. We've also got two new pairs of shorts coming, one an MTB specific that I really think will be a fan favorite.
I would be great if you started using chapters in your videos so it's easier to get to a certain question or product. Doesn't take much time to do and would help a ton when looking for some detail in a video after one viewing.
My local store can't move mid range full suspension bikes, but at the same time are moving lots of ebikes of all varieties. So business is still good, aside from the money tied up with stock that's not moving...
My wishes for the bike industry : Mixed wheelset options, not even sizes but also rims, as you maybe want a lighter, softer rim in the front and burly, heavy, stiff one in the rear. Better servicibility, like reducing the number of bearings and bushings your parts need to function at its current level and also creating bikes and bike designs where everything is easily accessable, simple to understand and just more of a joy to work on. A general reevaluation of prices. I get you can charge 13k for a bike when people still buy them but thats not the case at the moment and they need to touch grass.
Hello Jeff and the Worldwidecyclery family, FYI: I visited the WwC Pennsylvania store around 3 years ago and to my surprise (A Jeff) popped his head around the front counter saying, "Hi, welcome to WorldwideCyclery." I was quite surprised you were there at my first visit and immediately stated "I want to cut your hair." I went on to say, "I have clippers in my car right now." Yep, I'm that guy! Anyhooooo, My two questions are............What are the black things in your glass? Secondly, do you believe RockShox will create a dropper post that electronically drops to a desired position and raises to a desired position being integrated with the batteries I already have with my AXS XX1? Thank you very much. Stay Awesome and Never Give Up!
Judging by FOX Live Valve and Rockshox Flight Attendant, I think the future of mountain bikes might be suspensions that can automatically adjust themselves depending on where GPS says it is based on user defined profiles, maybe even integrated with a social network for sharing profiles, and based on the dropper post position. It's going to be expensive so I only see it catching on with pros
I don't know how existing electronic suspensions work or how fast they can change their settings, but it could be possible with today's tech with firmware updates and connecting to the cell phones and cycling computers most riders have on them
Hi Jeff. Why set sag with everything “open” if I ride with different compression and rebound settings? Would I want to set sag with my normal settings?
Hi Jeff. I really enjoi all you vids. You did give me a lot of idea what is going on in MTB world. I have one question why you newer comper or mention products from HOPE? For example brakes are one of best or maybe the best in the market. Easy to fix powerful works for ever, bullet proof. Your shop have high quality stuffs so you should have HOPE. Only think what comes to my mind is that You don't have enough dealership in US... Great Job mate keep doing what you do. Best regards.🤘🏻
I think these videos add a ton of value and the people behind WC are rad! My only complaint and a reason why I shop at Jenson when I actually need something is that, WC takes 3-5 days after ordering to ship my purchase. I’ve had an order take as long as 3 weeks! So if I order something it takes a week to more. Jenson can come later that same day! Or at the slowest… the next day. (I live in NorCal) I know it’s tough to keep up with Amazon/Jenson. But why does it take so long to process my order and get it shipped? I would like to give more business with WC, but when I need a bike part, it’s usually because I broke something and need it ASAP.
Thanks for the feedback Alex. I will say our shipping is dramatically faster these days and to be honest with us and really everyone else. It really depends on what you order. We offer 19,000 products on our site. 3000 of them which are commonly sold are kept in stock and able to ship same day as the order. However, some stuff needs to be pulled from a distributor via a just-in-time inventory order process or some of it might come from our Pennsylvania location because we only have one in stock there and none in stock in our California or Nevada locations, which, then it would take a while to go from Pennsylvania to Northern California. It’s a pretty complex supply chain. Which makes it really hard to get every single part to a specific location really fast. But all I can say is that don’t always assume it’s going to be slow from us as more often than not It’s actually just as fast as everywhere else. But depending on the product, it can be slow from us or anyone else as well. It’s a little bit like rolling dice. You are welcome to always reach out to us via email, phone or chat prior to any order and we can tell you exactly where it’s located and how quickly it will get to you. I also dare you to try and reach out to Jenson and get as thorough of a reply, and as quick of a reply on any customer support matter and compare it to us 😉. - Jeff
The problem is bikes went up in price too damn fast and now we have overstock and rising other costs. That said, 2022 bikes should be 20-30% off, then prices need to go back to pre-Covid. I’m being patient and waiting out 2023 to see what’s there when the dust settles.
Please lose the background music. It distracts from Jeff's presentation. Sorry, couldn't stay for the entire video because of repetitious obnoxious "music." Maybe next time. Bye.
Thanks for the feedback. Didn't realize it was bothersome to some people. Will adjust next time around. If you want some good voice only stuff scope our podcast channel :) - ruclips.net/channel/UCczlFdoHUMcFJuHUeZf9b_Q
For the next ask Jeff: Jeff I recently purchased some Ketl mtn gear. It fit according to my waist size but it's clear these clothes were meant for more "normal" sized people. Has Ketl mtn considered adventure gear suited to larger people?
Yo James. Two things... 1) The V1 & V2 of our Virtue shorts came out too small, we fixed that for V3 & moving forward. Sizing has been a challenge to nail down and something we continue to refine. 2) As a small brand we only have the funds to offer so many sizes, as we grow we plan to offer more sizes and more fit-types to everything to accommodate all body types. Slowly but surely we will get there :) Thanks for giving KETL a try.
@@WorldwideCyclery thanks for the response. I kept my pants. The quality was too good and I'm on a weight-loss journey anyhow. I have a friend that had a hard time with your shorts, but frankly, he's a viking. I absolutely love my bib and jersey. Both were sized just right. It's our thunder thighs that gave us the problem.
There is no need to adjust the suspension 1000 times/second, but if it can happen without you knowing… it’s a big deal. Ask anyone who rode a Ducati Skyhook suspension on the Multistrada.
Guys, the avg consumer has no extra money atm due to inflation and other economic factors, yet the avg price for a mid-range bike is around $4000. This trend will continue for some time, and we will only see second hand bike sales spike over the next few riding seasons.
BTW, I'm on Instagram @jeffcayley feel free to ping me with questions any time 🚵
Where can I find a sweet hoodie like the one you have on this vid?
Thanks! 🤙🏽

Why are bikes so cool?
Why am I so old and slow?
Happy Tuesday!
You’re a fast young man, Doug.

I don't know how existing electronic suspensions work or how fast they can change their settings, but it could be possible with today's tech with firmware updates and connecting to the cell phones and cycling computers most riders have on them
Hi Jeff. Why set sag with everything “open” if I ride with different compression and rebound settings? Would I want to set sag with my normal settings?
Love the videos and the store! What brand hair dye do you use?
Yo thanks! And 😅 that’s natural hair color bboooiii
I think you are spot on with the lightweight e bike
Why thanks mate.
😎 Love it!
Hi Jeff. I really enjoi all you vids. You did give me a lot of idea what is going on in MTB world. I have one question why you newer comper or mention products from HOPE? For example brakes are one of best or maybe the best in the market. Easy to fix powerful works for ever, bullet proof. Your shop have high quality stuffs so you should have HOPE. Only think what comes to my mind is that You don't have enough dealership in US... Great Job mate keep doing what you do. Best regards.🤘🏻
@WorldwideCyclery. TM ?
Those bushes are going to die😂
They’re healthy so far after 6 months.
I think these videos add a ton of value and the people behind WC are rad!
My only complaint and a reason why I shop at Jenson when I actually need something is that,
WC takes 3-5 days after ordering to ship my purchase. I’ve had an order take as long as 3 weeks! So if I order something it takes a week to more. Jenson can come later that same day! Or at the slowest… the next day. (I live in NorCal)
I know it’s tough to keep up with Amazon/Jenson. But why does it take so long to process my order and get it shipped?
I would like to give more business with WC, but when I need a bike part, it’s usually because I broke something and need it ASAP.
Thanks for the feedback Alex. I will say our shipping is dramatically faster these days and to be honest with us and really everyone else. It really depends on what you order. We offer 19,000 products on our site. 3000 of them which are commonly sold are kept in stock and able to ship same day as the order. However, some stuff needs to be pulled from a distributor via a just-in-time inventory order process or some of it might come from our Pennsylvania location because we only have one in stock there and none in stock in our California or Nevada locations, which, then it would take a while to go from Pennsylvania to Northern California. It’s a pretty complex supply chain. Which makes it really hard to get every single part to a specific location really fast. But all I can say is that don’t always assume it’s going to be slow from us as more often than not It’s actually just as fast as everywhere else. But depending on the product, it can be slow from us or anyone else as well. It’s a little bit like rolling dice. You are welcome to always reach out to us via email, phone or chat prior to any order and we can tell you exactly where it’s located and how quickly it will get to you. I also dare you to try and reach out to Jenson and get as thorough of a reply, and as quick of a reply on any customer support matter and compare it to us 😉. - Jeff
@@WorldwideCyclery I appreciate the response! I will keep that In mind and respect your transparency! Thanks Jeff
The problem is bikes went up in price too damn fast and now we have overstock and rising other costs. That said, 2022 bikes should be 20-30% off, then prices need to go back to pre-Covid. I’m being patient and waiting out 2023 to see what’s there when the dust settles.
Please lose the background music. It distracts from Jeff's presentation. Sorry, couldn't stay for the entire video because of repetitious obnoxious "music." Maybe next time. Bye.
Thanks for the feedback. Didn't realize it was bothersome to some people. Will adjust next time around. If you want some good voice only stuff scope our podcast channel :) - ruclips.net/channel/UCczlFdoHUMcFJuHUeZf9b_Q
For the next ask Jeff: Jeff I recently purchased some Ketl mtn gear. It fit according to my waist size but it's clear these clothes were meant for more "normal" sized people. Has Ketl mtn considered adventure gear suited to larger people?
Yo James. Two things... 1) The V1 & V2 of our Virtue shorts came out too small, we fixed that for V3 & moving forward. Sizing has been a challenge to nail down and something we continue to refine. 2) As a small brand we only have the funds to offer so many sizes, as we grow we plan to offer more sizes and more fit-types to everything to accommodate all body types. Slowly but surely we will get there :) Thanks for giving KETL a try.
@@WorldwideCyclery thanks for the response. I kept my pants. The quality was too good and I'm on a weight-loss journey anyhow. I have a friend that had a hard time with your shorts, but frankly, he's a viking.
I absolutely love my bib and jersey. Both were sized just right. It's our thunder thighs that gave us the problem.
I thought I was gay, it turned out to be pedal kickback. I need some mouthwash.
There is no need to adjust the suspension 1000 times/second, but if it can happen without you knowing… it’s a big deal. Ask anyone who rode a Ducati Skyhook suspension on the Multistrada.
Guys, the avg consumer has no extra money atm due to inflation and other economic factors, yet the avg price for a mid-range bike is around $4000. This trend will continue for some time, and we will only see second hand bike sales spike over the next few riding seasons.
honestly shocked they could not see the most obvious thing in the world coming.
I love the industries lack of common sense. Those clearance prices are gonna be good for the consumer
