First comment superiority
hmmm?…probably
Was this recorded before Powless crushed Dwars door Vlaanderen?
Basically Scott doesn't want anyone to talk to him, and frankly I feel it. Doesn't detract from the enjoyment factor.
Scott should probably learn to bunny hop
I really enjoy having someone who is in a medical field that understands the physiology behind ketones and carbs and such. So then i get a good understanding of why they work and what the point of thwm are
Lace gang forever.
Best comment on the whole episode! What’s the difference between that and a raw oyster? 50:35
Obviously the answer to the sauna hydration question is to drink boiling hot water
as Drew was saying the shimano RX gravel shoe is walking on high heel. instant ankle roller.
BIG TIRES
Corn hole HAHAH
If you guys want to see another drop bar mountain bike to see if it is "Dylan approved," check out the new Lee Vougan Innova Supergravel. It is a soft tail (30mm piston damping in the rear) with a 100mm front suspension (though Clint Gibbs put a 120 fork on his test sample). 69 degree head tube which is 1 degree slacker than the Ridley with an 1140mm wheelbase which is pretty respectable for XC geometry.
Also, not sure what you guys are talking about with that Ridley Ignite GTX only having a low spec build, unless you have just becone total Transmission fanboys. There is a drop down menu which lets you pick the latest 12 speed 820 GRX version (albeit, they do substitute a few cheaper items to keep cost down).
Adam being against BOA as an engineer is the most surprising thing about this episode to me. My mtb shoes are lace and I lose my will to live every time I have to put them on.
Dowset found that his gravel shoes were more aero than his carbon track shoes, more gains for DJ?
edit* Damn he got to it
Great vibe tonight.
Corn hole 😂😂
All the US world tour pros have euro names. Sepp, Matteo, Neisson, Magnus.
A kombucha culture is not an animal (it's a symbiosis of bacteria and yeast). Oysters are animals. I think the difference between animals and bacteria would be in a normal school curriculum, even in the United States, so maybe refer back to that.
Tyler is a national treasure
