Episode 89 - BWR AZ, TT Helmet Absurdity, Tire Pressure, and Inside Jokes What up party people. We’ve got a jam packed show for y’all this week. I had to duck out early so I’m not totally sure what the rest of the crew talked about for the final half hour but while I was still on we heard Dizzle’s breakdown from BWR AZ, talk about the whack new TT helmet just released by Giro, assess Keegan’s claimed tire pressure numbers, and more.  Hit us up with any feedback or questions for the show at [email protected] or slide into those Insta DMs(@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Oh and in case y’all haven’t heard, the crew is going to be bringing the banter to MidSouth next week so keep an eye out for some meet and greets to be announced as well as the possibility of a course pre-ride or something. Alright let’s get this thing started.
