Love to geek out on marginal gains!
Fantastic podcast - really great discussion of how to go faster on a bike technically and super fun to listen to.
The latest podcast with John Cobb was excellent storytelling! John’s deep experience, humility and ability to paint a picture through words was a great listen to anyone interested in bikes, engineering or problem solving. Good job to Josh for knowing when to talk and knowing when to listen!
Five stars!
