In this episode Matt and Jeff discuss the results from a recent survey that asked, “What is the least useful mountain bike innovation?“.

For those who missed our survey, the top five answers among nearly 10,000 votes were:

  • Electronic suspension control (22%)
  • Electronic shifting (17%)
  • Flip chips (14%)
  • Internal cable routing (12%)
