Anyway, that’s basically what we talk about the entire show.

Summary
The conversation starts with a lighthearted discussion about a Menards coffee mug and transitions into talking about the returns desk at Menards.

Takeaways
The returns desk at Menards is considered the bottom of the barrel job.Social media coverage can make it seem like a team is winning more than they actually are.Winning a race is not always hard, but the work to get to that position can be.Genetics can play a role in athletic performance, but it is not the sole determinant of success.Kristen Faulkner's celebration at the finish line of the women's road race in the Olympics was discussed. The hosts analyze the tactics and performance of the riders in the women's and men's road races at the Olympics.They discuss the importance of not looking back and taking risks in racing.They speculate on the reasons behind certain riders' actions and the dynamics of the race.The conversation also touches on unrelated topics such as living situations, hobbies, and training challenges. The weight difference between full suspension and hardtail bikes can have a small impact on race times, but other factors like fitness and skill are more significant.Dropper posts can add a slight weight penalty, but the time saved on descents may outweigh the disadvantage.The choice of tires can affect grip and handling, especially on technical sections of the course.Drop bars may offer aerodynamic advantages, but their impact on overall race times is debatable.Calculations and personal experiences can help inform bike setup decisions, but individual preferences and riding style should also be considered. Drop bar mountain bikes are not versatile and may not be suitable for all types of ridingThe hosts make predictions for the Leadville raceThe podcast has had a positive impact on a listener going through a difficult timeThe hosts discuss their bow and arrow specs and preferencesGravel wheels are becoming wider and deeper for improved performanceThe hosts engage in lighthearted banter and share their appreciation for the listeners

EPISODE 109 - Dylan’s Quitting YouTube. Dizzle’s Retiring from Crits. What Next, Discontinuing the Conti Race King?!
What up party people. First off, just wanted to give a big shout to all the folks who came up to me at Nepomuk Narly this past weekend to mention your loyalty to the show, interactions like that are truly what drives us (well at least me anyway) to keep this thing running week after week. Speaking of Nepomuk Narly, if you weren’t at the biggest little gravel race in Pisek, ND this past weekend then you definitely missed out on a good time. Not only did they manage to recruit even more big names to show up this year including reigning champ Adam Roberge, Ted and Laura King, the Minnesota hit squad of Inno and Chase, and a bunch of other fast riders from all over, they also just know how to bring the Midwest hospitality in such a unique way. From games and activities for all ages, race distances for anyone and everyone, the kindest host families you can ever imagine, and for the tip of the spear, one heck of a prize purse to boot. So put it on your calendars for next year, July 19th coming in hot. And no, this is not a paid advertisement, I just love this race to death and want y’all to experience the Nepomuk charm as well.
Okay so for the show this week, basically Drew drank way too much coffee and brought us on tangents galore the whole episode so you’ll just have to hang tight to find out what we really talk about.

EPISODE 108 - The Future of Gravel w/ Former World Tour rider Chad Haga
What up party people. Just a quick intro here because I only have 2min before I have to log into an 8hr design review summit sooo here it goes. We’ve got former World Tour rider, Chad Haga, on the show this week to talk about his experience transitioning into the pro gravel scene this season, including his 2nd place finish at Unbound after spending all day in the breakaway with Lachlan Morton. Tune in to hear some of his thoughts on the US vs International gravel scene, what he predicts gravel will look like in the future, and even his thoughts on tires.
Speaking of tires, while we don’t have a tire sponsor for the show we do have some great partners that are tire adjacent such as Silca and their Ultimate Tubeless Sealant (code bonkbrosbikewash for 15% off), Dynamic Cyclist which will help you stay nimble and sharp on the bike so you can keep it rubber side down (code BONKBROS for 10% off their fitness plans), and Bolt Skin and Shave to help you remove not only those unnecessary leg hairs but also those pesky hairs from your Cont Race Kings (code BONKBROS15 for 15% off).

Summary
Chad Haga discusses his transition from road racing to gravel racing and his experience at the Unbound Gravel race. He talks about the differences between European and American gravel racing, including team tactics and the importance of positioning. Chad also shares his thoughts on using aerobars in gravel racing and the challenges of racing as a team in a solo-focused sport. The conversation includes some lighthearted banter about bike brands and equipment choices. Chad discusses his experience racing the Rift and his tire choice for the race. He also talks about his setup for the Migration gravel race and the challenges of racing on rough terrain. The conversation shifts to the changing landscape of professional cycling, with younger riders entering the gravel scene and the transition from road racing to gravel. Chad expresses his satisfaction with racing gravel and the freedom it offers. The discussion touches on recovery between races and the demands of the gravel season. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted discussion about VO2 max and the perception of age in professional cycling. The conversation in this segment starts with a discussion about VO2 max tests and the results that Chad and Drew received. They joke about their VO2 max scores and how they compare to each other. The conversation then transitions to a discussion about the future of gravel racing in the US, including the potential for teams to become more involved. They also talk about the UCI's involvement in gravel racing and the popularity of longer events. The conversation concludes with listener questions about tire width preferences and how long the Bonk Bros could hold Tadej Pogacar's wheel up a climb. In this final part of the conversation, the hosts discuss crank arm length and its impact on performance and comfort. Dylan shares that he switched to 165mm cranks on all his bikes to reduce knee pain and improve his range of motion. Chad mentions that he is considering switching to 170mm cranks on his road and gravel bikes for fit reasons. They also touch on the topic of shorter cranks benefiting time trialists by allowing them to maintain a more aero position. The hosts conclude the conversation by discussing upcoming races and plans.

Takeaways
Gravel racing in Europe often involves team tactics and cooperation, while American gravel racing is more individual-focused.The Unbound Gravel race is known for its deep field and tactical racing.Chad Haga prefers not to use aerobars in gravel racing due to the nature of the terrain and the need for control.Team dynamics in gravel racing can be challenging, but having a reliable teammate can make a difference.Equipment choices, such as bike brands and clothing, can vary between regions and races. Tire choice is crucial for gravel racing, with riders opting for wider and more durable tires to handle rough terrain.The gravel racing scene is attracting younger riders who see it as a viable career option, leading to increased competition.Chad enjoys the freedom and fun of racing gravel and does not miss road racing.Recovery between races is manageable for Chad, with most races being long aerobic efforts.VO2 max testing is not always a reliable indicator of performance, and experience and body of work can be more important in evaluating a rider's abilities. VO2 max tests can provide interesting and sometimes surprising resultsGravel racing in the US is likely to continue growing, with the potential for more team involvementThe UCI's involvement in gravel racing is limited, and most major gravel races in the US are not sanctionedTire width preferences vary among riders, but wider tires are generally considered fasterThe Bonk Bros speculate on how long they could hold Tadej Pogacar's wheel up a climb Switching to shorter crank arms can help reduce knee pain and improve range of motion.Shorter cranks may benefit time trialists by allowing them to maintain a more aero position.Crank arm length does not significantly impact power output.Chad is considering switching to 170mm cranks on his road and gravel bikes for fit reasons.The hosts discuss upcoming races and plans.

Wasn't even close.""I largely see it just continuing the way it's been going as far as the events that are on offer.""If I'm training a lot, like probably 30 plus hour weeks, I can get some knee pain. And when you have shorter cranks, you do a little bit smaller range of motion.""The research seems to suggest that crank length doesn't impact power output. It doesn't really matter what the length of your crank is.""I don't know if there's a need for me to go to 160, but apparently SRAM is going to start doing 160mm cranks."

"Scott, you're so considerate, man.""Uh, I quit. I quit YouTube.""More than likely what would happen is that I would lose places in the standing if Crusher did actually happen because I'm set.""I had the 276 KOM, which is probably the most coveted KOM in the Brevard area.""He did the first half with a time trial bike, and then switched bikes to his road bike for the second half where it gets steeper.""I think that for my standings in the Grand Prix, this is actually better for me.""People are finally realizing that mountain bike tires are faster for gravel racing.""I've been right all along but no one cares until somebody fast does it.""If I was able to climb with the front group, then I might just keep my mountain bike set up as a normal mountain bike without drop bars.""Still historical? Come on. Still gotta hype it. You know Cav is hyping it.""Just because it happened last week doesn't mean we can't talk about it.""The gravel stage was very much in line with the spirit of US gravel"

"All right, we got we got two of the biggest gravel beefers on the pod right now.""I don't think that I have an opinion. You guys have an opinion. Um, and they're just, they're different.""The first year I did Unbound in 2018, people had loud forks.""We should do it the, yeah, Lord of the Rings of Gravel.""You could do both. You could, cause each movie is like what, a little over three hours? You could do them at the same time. I could watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy and probably finish Unbound and it would be like roughly the same amount of time.""So, so.""But the rule is you have to ride the same frame throughout the duration of the race. So they thought that one through. But you can't swap anything else, yeah. But same frame.""I figure anyone who's decent is above 70.""Having your number flat on the front of your handlebars is a 10-minute penalty at unbound.""Yeah, let's talk predictions.""So are you gonna tow the specialized corporate line and go with Sophia for the women's race too?""Don't you think if it's muddy though it comes down a little more to fitness?""That's why.""Godfather of gravel.""I had a couple people this weekend at the crits come up and say that they're big fans of the podcast."

What up party people. Sorry, I don’t know why I just did that. Apparently we’re putting these things back on YouTube now because so many of y’all requested to not just listen to our dreamy voices each week but you actually want to see our beautiful faces too. SO I didn’t want to look like Will Farrel and not know what to do with my hands but I think whatever I just did was actually worse. Anyways, we’re talking Giro updates and whatever in the hell Tadej has going on with his mix-matched kit, we answer some listener questions pertaining to DJ and the bike fit sorcery he has going on, Scott tells us about his planned return to gravel racing to try and upkeep his undefeated record, and we also touch on some happenings across the pond at the Traka 360 this past weekend. Or is it the 200? No one knows.
