Keeping Rachel Atherton Rolling – Joe Krejbich

August 28, 2018

Ever wondered what it takes to keep one of the most successful riders on the planet rolling? Well Joe Krejbich, mechanic to Rachel Atherton, joins us for this episode of the podcast. We sit down at Joe’s Shropshire home to chat about his background, how he got from working in a bike shop to working for the Atherton’s, and then we’ll step through a World Cup weekend from a mechanics point of view. I’ll be asking him about Rachel’s snapped chain at Fort William, why she wasn’t wearing gloves in her race run at Andorra, and I’ll try and get some top tips for looking after your own bike.
