Episode 122 - Hot Takes, Big Sugar, and the Life Time Grand Prix Finale
What up party people. Alright I know what you’re thinking, this entire episode is going to be about Dizzle bragging about him smashing Dylan at Big Sugar this past weekend but I promise we don’t let it be the Dizzle Show the whole time. That said, I think we would all agree it was probably for the best that Dizzle took down his arch frenemy so he could get back to his usual self, for better or worse. Let’s see, what else… Life Time Grand Prix final standings and more updates for next year, the year of the mountain bike tire saga continues, and the boys wrap up with some listener questions after I had to bounce. So yeah.

What up party people. Alright, I don’t know exactly what was said in the YouTube comments (other than the ones we read on the air this week, some of which are hilarious) but Drew decided enough is enough and quit the podcast for good… nah I’m just kidding, he had some other more important life stuff to cater to this week so only graced us with his presence for a few minutes. The rest of us riff on some of the latest updates Life Time has made to the 2025 Grand Prix series, touch a little bit on some recent racing like this weekend’s Little Sugar sprint finish and Scott’s take on the Gravel World Championships, AND Eli Iserbyt getting DQ’d after have some cross rage in the middle of the race this past weekend, and a whole lot more to boot.

YouTube Beef, Gravel World Champs, and Tire Talk w/ Tyler Pearce (aka VC Adventures / The Vegan Cyclist)
10 10月· Bonk Bros
Episode 120 - YouTube Beef, Gravel World Champs, and Tire Talk w/ Tyler Pearce (aka VC Adventures / The Vegan Cyclist)
What up party people. I’m going to be completely honest here, I really had no idea who The Vegan Cyclist was until he started some good old fashioned beef with Dizzle in his Dustbowl 100 video and even after that I still didn’t know his real name was Tyler Pearce until the night before recording this episode.
But hey, I give the guy some serious props for agreeing to come on the show this week and checking his ego at the door. Tyler came into this conversation with not only an open mind but also open arms willing to accept Dizzle and his sometimes brash persona despite all the controversy that was sparked.
Dylan and I mostly sit back and let the two YouTube frenemies clear the air on what really happened during their interaction at the Dust Bowl 100 before we all dive into some conversation on a few topics like Gravel World Champs, tires, marginal gains, and future projects VC is working up.
Oh yeah, and if you came this week hoping I would share my latest tire test results comparing DJs beloved Race Kings to the Keegans sought after Aspen ST, I unfortunately was not able to complete the testing project prior to recording since we had to move our recording session forward a day but I’ll post some of my preliminary findings on the socials at some point this week and leave the conversation for another episode.
If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).
Shout out to our presenting sponsor Silca for having our back on yet another whirlwind Bonk Bros episode. As Dylan mentions later in the show, one of Silca’s best kept secret products is actually one of their free resources offered to the public which is their tire pressure calculator. So next time you’re going to air up those mountain bike tires on your gravel bike, make sure to head over to their site to reference a starting point for dialing in those PSIs and should you also pick up something swanky while you’re at it, use the discount code “bonkbrosbonus5” when checking out.

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.
Bonk Bros is brought to you each and every week by our proud sponsors. Check out the marginal gains offerings from Silca including their top of the line bike wash product to give your ride the pampering it deserves (code bonkbrosbikewash for 15% off), Dynamic Cyclist and their strength and mobility plans to keep you nimble and sharp on and off the bike (code BONKBROS for 10% off), and our friends from Bolt Skin and Shave who are taking leg shaving for men to new heights with their one of a kind Performance Razor (code BONKBROS15 for 15% off).

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.

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.

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"
