EPISODE 112 - Leadville Recap and is the Drop Bar Mountain Bike Finally Gaining Traction?

What up party people. Well we almost had to record this Leadville recap episode without the one Bonk Bro who was actually at the race because homeboy Dylan Johnson was still asleep at the time of our schedule studio session… luckily he answered his phone and I wish y’all could’ve heard how frantic he was when he discovered he was almost going to miss the Leadville show. Anyway, that’s basically what we talk about the entire show.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or slide your way into those Bonk Bros instagram DMs (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this episode started.

DIY Saunas, Embargoes, and Did Someone Really Suggest Gravel Tire Size Limits?

Episode 140 - DIY Saunas, Embargoes, and Did Someone Really Suggest Gravel Tire Size Limits?
What up party people. We’ve got another long-dong stem episode for y’all jam packed with all sorts of shenanigans like Dizzle contemplating a DIY El Camino, pro roadies needing to take some direction cues from gravel so they can actually make it to the finish line, Nate Haas hanging out with Cheech and Chong too much when analyzing tire testing, and did someone say maple syrup?
Speaking of maple syrup, as tempting as it may be to fill up your tires with tree sap, I highly recommend against it because you’re just asking to find yourself a sticky situation. Instead, check out the latest product drop from our homies at Silca because there’s a new sealant king on the block. Don’t wait too long to get you some because this stuff already sold out once so you know it’s hotter than a two dollar Rolex. Make sure to use the new code “bonkbrosfiberfoam” at checkout for an extra 10% off. (https://silca.cc/?utm_source=Bonk+Bros&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=stripchip&utm_id=Bonk+Bros+Podcast)
Also, if you haven’t heard, our friends at Bike Tires Direct are running a massive site-wide sale and for this week only if you use the code “bonkbros” at checkout you get an extra 20% off one item. So whether it’s taking advantage of their steep discounts on SRAM products, snagging some of the Kings while they’re still in stock, or basically any other cycling product you could ever need, hop on it now to save some extra dolla bills.

DIY Saunas, Embargoes, and Did Someone Really Suggest Gravel Tire Size Limits?

Episode 139 - DIY Saunas, Embargoes, and Did Someone Really Suggest Gravel Tire Size Limits?
What up party people. This episode is literally all over the place with topics like Dizzle’s DIY sauna, listener questions about limiting tire size for gravel racing, which gravel race is the official kickoff for the domestic gravel season, more listener questions, and mansplaining Drew about embargoes.
Speaking of embargoes, Silca just dropped their newest product and boy howdy are we excited about it. That’s right, there’s a new tire sealant on the scene and they’re all but guaranteeing you won’t flat with this magic juice in your tires. So, what you need to do is head over to Bike Tires Direct (https://www.biketiresdirect.com/?utm_source=bonkbros&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=bonkbros2025) and use the code “bonkbros” to get you 10% off your favorite tires, THEN drop by Silca (https://silca.cc/?utm_source=Bonk+Bros&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=stripchip&utm_id=Bonk+Bros+Podcast) and use the code “bonkbrosfiberfoam” for another 10% off their Ultimate Sealant, and slap all that on your bike when it comes in and you can pretty much ride that setup until the knobs fall off worry free because this new Sealant is going to be that good. So jump on it now because you know this stuff is going to sell out faster than a Crockpotanator4000 on speed.
