We are happy to report that we continue to seek questions Josh is unable to answer, or at least unwilling to try.

Josh was, in fact, distressingly excited by…

Josh, Hottie, and Fatty talk about problems in data quality, sampling bias, confirmation bias, cherry picking, and more (including a little detour into baseball). it’s great when data bolsters your beliefs or arguments, but it’s often times way more exciting and enlightening when they don’t!

This was not the episode we intended to create. Josh, Hottie, and Fatty sat down to record an episode on confirmation bias and how it can undercut marginal gains, and instead found that what we want to talk about — and think you might enjoy hearing — is the good things Josh is seeing during a very difficult time. So this is a "stories" episode: sto…

Damon Rinard has been at Cannondale as Engineering Manager for the past five years, but has been immersing himself in bike tech for the better part of three decades. In this episode, Josh and Damon completely nerd out over their shared love of all things technical.
Hottie digs deep into getting your bike fit just right with Nate Loyal, one of the best-known and respected coaches and bike fitters in the US (loyalcoaching.com). From saddle height to bar width to crank length to the effects of a dropper post on fit and beyond, Nate has details on it all.
After the 2019 Leadville 100, Fatty conveniently (?) skipped over miles 60-75 in his race report. Now he finally (?!) tells the story of how he lost twelve minutes in this relatively flat and fast section of the race. Warning: it is not a pretty story.

Is a matte finish on helmets faster than a gloss finish? What are the…
Cyclists are always on the prowl for marginal gains. We slam our stems, because we've seen pros do it, and they're fast. We eat mounds of spaghetti before races, because we've heard that fast cyclists carbo-load. In many ways, cyclists and cargo cults are remarkably similar. What's a cargo cult, though, and what does it have to do with granola? We'…

You know you've had this suspicion: the core of the cycling industry—much of what it's really selling you—is not tech, speed, or fitness. Nope, the truth is that one of the most powerful marginal gains you'll ever get is thanks to the placebo effect. Josh, Fatty, and Hottie talk about what it is and how potent a force it is in cycling.…
