Velo ChumpsVelo Chumps Year in ReviewWe've come to the end of another season of the Velo Chumps! We start off this episode with our resident Shimanophile (Chad) talking up the new GRX updates that dropped recently.

2025-12-241h 00Velo ChumpsChris Heerschap Talks to the ChumpsAt the intersection of bikes and 3D Printing, you will find 3D printer extraordinaire Chris Heerschap. Chris was nice enough to come on the show and talk about 3D printing, in general and in the bike space. He has some great stories, and you will learn a lot about what are good bike related objects to print and what you might want to steer clear of. Chad suggests a new product line that Chris may (or may not) add to his offering, so listen to the end to hear that! Most importantly, do yourself a favor and...
2025-12-141h 10Velo ChumpsBreaking AwayThe Chumps return from an unplanned break in our programming to talk about a breakaway bike, and you might be surprised to hear Chad's take. We also follow up on Shimano moving to a 10 cog on the "road" side of things, and we bring you the Chumps take on the big news that Keegan Swenson is rumored to be moving to Specialized. Chad ends with a factoid about what this move might mean for gravel bike tech.

He inadvertently drops a factoid at the end so keep your ear open for that!
2025-10-211h 12Velo ChumpsName That RaceThis week the Chumps talk about one of our *favorite* organizations, the UCI. Their shenanigans don't cease to amaze, so the Chumps were forced to develop a solution to end them. We need our audience's help though, so listen in to get your assignment and get back to us with your input!

2025-09-2952 minVelo ChumpsThe Chumps CheckoutThis week the Chumps Checkout a bike that just came on the scene - you know the one. We also talk a bit about recent news related to the UCI and its crusade for safety, and another bike that just came out - you don't know this one. No factoid this week, but we still have a fun way to end the show.
2025-09-271h 05Velo ChumpsIndigo Cycling Talks to the ChumpsThis week we have Kai and Tyler from Indigo Cycling to talk about USACs recently updated Policy VII. USAC announced the change to their competition category policy on September 2 with an effective date of September 15. The response from Indigo and the rest of the Chicagoland cycling team community was swift and unambiguous. Kai and Tyler take us through that, but they also talk about the bigger picture of cycling and what Indigo is doing to support all cyclists.To learn more about Indigo and to find ways to support their mission, you can check...
2025-09-191h 05Velo ChumpsLuke Guyton Talks to the ChumpsThis week, Luke Guyton, organizer of the Big River Gravel Series and the Lead Ore Gravel Race talks to the Chumps about his races and gravel racing in general. Luke has some great stories, and brings a grassroots passion to cycling, and gravel cycling in particular, that will cut through even the most cynical takes on the gravel phenomenon. He even comes up with a great factoid on the spot!To learn more about his races, you can find more information here:Big River Gravel Series - https://www.bigrivergravel.comLead Ore...
2025-08-101h 13Velo ChumpsThe Velo Chumps ConsultancyHire us! That's the intro. The Chumps are branching out into consultancy for all things bikes. You don't want to miss this one because this is our introduction where we give free advice! to demonstrate what you can expect from the Velo Chumps consultancy. Since this whole episode is really just one giant factoid, we don't even need to end with one.
2025-07-1955 minVelo ChumpsDerek Teel Talks to the ChumpsThis week Derek Teel of Dialed Health joins the Chumps to talk about strength training for cyclists! We start the show talking about how Derek got started with strength training for cyclists, and then we clarify that pro cyclists do strength train. The bulk of the show though is about how strength training and other aspects of the Dialed Health program can help chumps like us on and off the bike.Be sure to check out Dialed Health for yourself here: https://dialedhealth.comDerek and I talk about Dialed Health on the...
2025-07-071h 13Velo ChumpsIt's a Camp-spiracyThis week the Chumps tackle the big topic on everyone's mind - handlebar width! Chad has a unique take on what is really behind the UCI making this handlebar width rule and other rules in the name of "safety." We also discuss some new recently released groupsets, including the new wireless 1x12 GRX that was announced today. We have some opinions on this GRX and Shimano's approach to gravel. The factoid this week is around the Camp-spiracy, so listen all the way through hear what that is!
2025-06-241h 04Velo ChumpsGroupsets, Aero Bikes, and Faster CommutesThis week the Chumps talk about some new groupsets and what they mean for us Chumps. We also discuss a wild new aero bike spotted in the World Tour and how that might affect our Sunday coffee rides. Finally, in lieu of a factoid, we discuss a listener question about what changes on their bike will make their commute faster. Chad has some good tips, so don't miss that part!
2025-06-181h 10Velo ChumpsWider Tires, More Gears, and TariffsAfter a hiatus while we recovered from a race (we tell you that story) the Chumps are back! Chad and Eric discuss a variety of topics, which are seemingly unrelated. Other than the fact that they will all probably lead to higher prices for bikes. Most importantly, Mike Green sent us a factoid that you don't want to miss, so listen to the end for that.
2025-05-181h 19Velo ChumpsThe Ten ThousandThe Chumps had the privilege to talk to Stu Garwick who has been a legendary figure in the history of the Ten Thousand Gravel ride and gravel riding in the Driftless area of the US Midwest. Even if you don't know Stu's name, rest assured he helped make Gravel (not GRVL) what it is today. Give this episode a listen to hear about where gravel came from, how the Ten Thousand plays a role in that, and what riding your bike on gravel roads is really about. You might even find the elusive "Spirit of Gravel" along the way.
2025-04-181h 33Velo ChumpsIt's Not a Sport, it's a ParticipationThis week the Chumps start off with some GREAT news before moving on to a discussion of the new mechanical SRAM Transmission, and what that means for chumps. Then we take on the question of whether cycling is a professional sport, or not. Ryan gets some homework for a two part factoid so listen to the end to hear about his assignment.
2025-03-311h 08Velo ChumpsMidwest Ultra CyclingThis week the Chumps talk to Jack Peck, organizer of some of the most exciting, and challenging, Ultra races in the Midwest. Jack talks about why you should register for the Mishigami Challenge and the Driftless Dagger, but he also gives us a lot of insight into Ultra racing and riding in general, something us Chumps are not very experienced with. If the show inspires you (of course it will!) check out the Midwest Ultra Cycling website here:https://www.midwestultracycling.comYou can find links to each race...
2025-03-111h 12Velo ChumpsWider is Better, Right?This week the Chumps take on the wide tire craze that is gripping the bike world. Do you need to throw out your current gravel bike? Also, some pros (or at least one) are experimenting with 150mm cranks. Does that mean us Chumps need to run to the bike shop for a switch? Answers to your most burning cycling questions inside! Chad ends the show with a factoid related to the new My Canyon custom program.

2025-02-2310 minVelo ChumpsThe Oracle of Canton?This week the Chumps take a trip down memory lane to a past episode where Chad made a prediction. We listen to his old prognostication and discuss how close his prediction matches reality, and also the implications now that we have seemingly arrived in the future. We also talk a little racing and about a new product from our friends at Silca. Ryan closes the show with a factoid, and he even asked for some listener participation.
2025-02-221h 05Velo ChumpsJames Huang Talks to the Chumps!This week we have tech industry connoisseur James Huang on the show! James talks about the state of cycling media and his new independent publication, N-1. He also tells us a little bit about what it is like to be a tech editor in the cycling space in general. We then get some of James' insights into the bike industry, and what he likes about the gravel segment in particular (don't worry though - we did touch on internal cable routing). James closes the show with a factoid blast from the past that you won't want to miss.
2025-02-131h 03Velo ChumpsWho Made These Rules Anyway?This week, for the first time, we have a guest Chump on the pod. Jonathan Toups joins me, to talk about some of cycling's "rules". This comes off the heels of the last episode where we gave Ryan some grief for running so much, and we wanted to address the reality that, like most of cycling's "rules", giving runners grief is quite silly. No factoid this week because Ryan had one, but he backed out of the pod last minute - something that truly deserves grief.
2025-02-021h 01Velo ChumpsGuess who's back?The Chumps are back for 2025, just in time for the start of road racing season. Eric and Chad talk about being fans of the professional sport of road cycling, and what the people running the show are doing, both good and bad, to impact the fan experience.
2025-01-181h 11Velo ChumpsFrank Overton Talks to the ChumpsThis week special guest Frank Overton from FasCat coaching talks about the past present and future of coaching and training for cyclists. Being chumps, we had an approachable conversation that is science based without overwhelming science talk. Frank shares some of his incredible knowledge around coaching and training, and at the end of the show he gives us some insight into the recent Strava API fiasco.
You can get more details on FasCat coaching here: https://fascatcoaching.com
2024-12-151h 22Velo ChumpsStrava Did What Now?*EMERGENCY EPISODE* Strava announced some changes to their API access and how third party applications would be able to use data going forward. This ruffled a lot of feathers, so the Chumps decided we needed an Emergency Episode to discuss this from the Chumps perspective. This emergency epidsode might not have the normal polish, but the content still hits.
2024-11-231h 06Velo ChumpsUCI Gravel Worlds Special - Women's EditionThis week we talk to Kyleigh Spearing about the women's UCI Gravel World Championships. Kyleigh takes you inside the race, she talks about US vs. European gravel racing, and she gives us insights about the nuances of women's gravel racing, both the competitive and business side of things. This week Kyleigh herself provides a great factoid to close the show.
2024-10-301h 20Velo ChumpsUCI Gravel Worlds Special - Men's EditionThis is the first of two special episodes where the Chumps bring you inside the UCI Gravel World Championships. We talk to Ethan Overson who races in the elite field in the US gravel scene and also represented the USA at the UCI Gravel World Championships in both 2023 and 2024. Listen for Ethan's insights on the race itself, the gear, and what is in store for the future of gravel racing.
2024-10-191h 11Velo ChumpsAny Signs of Intelligence?The Chumps talk about some new features from some of our favorite apps - Strava and Zwift. Whether these new features are intelligent or not is still up for debate. In the course of those discussions, Chad drops some gems that these companies should pick up. Mike did not make it, but Eric ends the show with a (hopefully) fun story.
2024-10-111h 01Velo ChumpsEmptying the Pro's ClosetThis week all the Chumps are back to discuss the demise of the Pro's Closet. We also discuss the UCI Gravel World Championships and how that is related to the US Federation (USAC). Mike Green showed us a leaked GRVL tire marketing graph, but (since this is a podcast) you will need to go to The Velochumps Instagram page to see it.
2024-10-061h 06Velo ChumpsIs SRAM in Trouble??The rest of the Chumps were quite surprised to hear Chad's position about the future of SRAM. So much so that everyone joined the show this week to hear what he had to say. We start with a few news items, but you won't want to miss the discussion of the future of the bike industry and what that means for SRAM (and Shimano). Mike Green brings us a rumor instead of a factoid, but it leads to a fun way to end the show.
2024-09-111h 06Velo ChumpsCheckpoint, Checkmate, or CheckoutThis week, a reduced Chumps cohort takes it old school and rants about some unfriendly (for Chumps) new products that cycling brands are using to try to extract money from us. Before we get to that though, we do have a funny corrections corner, and an even funnier look at the start of stage 6 of the Vuelta a Espana.
2024-08-261h 09Velo ChumpsThe Chumps ReturnWe are back. After our mid season break, while the cycling world was saturated with the Tour de France and the Olympics, we are back to tell you about the Chump relevant developments in the bike world. Of course we discuss the new SRAM Red XPLR group, but we start with another "interesting" product that also recently dropped. Mike Green could not join our triumphant return, so no factoid this week, but future factoids promise to be better than ever.
2024-08-131h 04Velo ChumpsTour de MarketingIt's the most wonderful time of the cycling year. The Tour de France is upon us once again, and that means brands will try to use the iconic race to sell you anything and everything. This week the Chumps look at 2 of the more ridiculous marketing stunts we have seen. One is ridiculously priced, and one is just, well, ridiculous on its own. Listen in, and the Chumps will let you know if you can believe the hype.
2024-06-2955 minVelo ChumpsThe Chumps Stamp of ApprovalThis week the Chumps, uncharacteristically, have mostly positive things to say about a few new products in the bike world. We even start off with a tip to save you a lot of money if you haven't yet got sucked into the chain waxing black hole. Also, Chad is back with a historical factoid that you don't want to miss!
2024-06-2458 minVelo ChumpsUnbound Unpro RecapThis episode is all about the biggest gravel race in the world, Unbound Gravel. One of the Chumps was lucky enough to race the Unbound 200 this year, and we talk about it from the point of view of a chump in the amateur pack. No professional race coverage here. If you want to know how Unbound really is, or might be, for someone like you, tune in!
2024-06-071h 36Velo ChumpsA Red DawnThe Chumps discuss SRAMs newest offering. The updated Red groupset has a lot of new features, so that are more interesting to chumps like us than others. We also discuss the ecosystem SRAM is trying to create and the pros and cons for chumps. Stay to the end for a Red related factoid from Chad, and finally, who doesn't love an 80's movie reference in a title. Someone comment on this pod or on the Velo Chumps Instagram page and let Ryan know what the title refers to.
2024-05-221h 04Velo ChumpsBarry and the End of SpringThe Chumps wound down our own spring campaign racing a classic of our own, Barry Roubaix. In a first for the Chumps, we recorded the majority of this episode together on location. We previewed Barry itself and also big gravel events in general. Stick around to the end because we did record a post race segment to wrap things up.
2024-05-031h 12Velo ChumpsThe Holiest of WeeksDuring this holy week of cycling the Chumps talk a little bit about what holy week is and why it is important. But before that we hear about a significant update on Ryan's bike build, which you don't want to miss! We talk a little bit about local racing, and Mike Green is finally back with a factoid to close out the show!
2024-04-061h 10Velo ChumpsHelmets for the PeopleThis week the Chumps talk about the of the first World Tour TTs of the season and the arrival of this years TT tech, namely the helmets. That led us into a new segment, "Ask a Triathlete," which didn't necessarily go as planned. We finished with a discussion of some new tech from SRAM, both released and speculated, and what that means in the broader scope for the chumps out there.
2024-03-161h 12Velo ChumpsRacing is Back, and We Seem to Care a lot About Tires.The Chumps talk opening weekend of the racing season, but of course from the chumps' perspective. We also talk a lot about tires, both big ones and potentially unsafe ones. So much tire talk that we couldn't even fit in a factoid this week. We hope to have Mike Green back next week with a gem of a factoid, so be on the lookout.
2024-03-011h 17Velo ChumpsKaia Schmid Talks to the ChumpsThis week we talk to Kaia Schmid, an up and coming rider racing with Liv AlUla Jayco. She talks about her successes at a young age and also working through adversity in the world tour, and how that not only got her where she is today, but how that will help her in her next steps as she grows as a racer. She has a long career ahead of her, so get to know her now so you can follow along!
2024-02-121h 13Velo ChumpsA Preseason Topic or ToupsThis week the Chumps talk about the upcoming riding season. One chump got some news about an event they will need to train for, we discuss the SRAM Red groupset update we expect to see later this year, and we have some tips for getting your bike ready to ride outside in the spring. We also reveal what month the Randy in serious kit picture was taken and the long awaited winner of the Iistener contest!
2024-02-021h 05Velo ChumpsKyleigh and Ethan Talk GravelThis week professional racers Kyleigh Spearing and Ethan Overson talk to the Chumps about their cycling journey and how it led them to gravel racing in the US scene. They have a different perspective on gravel than what we typically hear, and it gives us hope for a bright future in the US. They also talk about contributing to growing cycling through their coaching program.

We talk about what we are looking forward to in the coming year, but we spend the most time on what we are not looking forward to in the coming months: cold weather and indoor riding. We messed up a bit at the end because our factoid is an actual fact, so stay to the end to hear what it is!

They discuss Scott and Chad’s lives, the religion’s attitude to truth, and its cruel practice of shunning. The discussion also takes up cultish practices by other groups, religious and political; how to combat cultism; and the experience of “absolute possibility” upon leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

2023-12-3159 minVelo ChumpsSliding into DMs for CyclistsIn the last episode of 2023 the Chumps cover some news topics including Strava DMs, a new trainer offering from Tacx, and an online chain lube calculator. We also get a bit philosophical discussing a listener question and what sponsorships mean to pro teams. The Chumps hope you have a great holiday, and we can't wait to talk to you again in the new year!
The chain lube calculator link is:

Hopefully you pick a good one :)
2023-12-181h 09Velo ChumpsDr. Andrea Cyr talks to the Chumps!This week the Chumps were lucky enough to have Dr. Andrea Cyr on the show! She tells us about her experience in the National Cycling League (NCL) and her team, the Miami Nights. She also gives us a lot of great insights into starting as a female cyclist, being part of the professional women's peloton, and being a professional woman in the medical field. She also talks about what we need to do to grow the sport for women and in general. It's not often we have a Velo Superstar on the show instead of just chumps, so enjoy...
2023-12-031h 12Velo ChumpsGiving ThanksThe Chumps got together for a short episode over the holiday weekend to talk about what we are thankful for in the cycling world. Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving out there, even if you are not in the USA.
2023-11-2631 minVelo ChumpsA Sad Day for CyclingThis week the Chumps tried to start off with some lighthearted stories to balance the devastating news that GCN+ is shutting down roughly a month from now. The main conversation was about the demise of GCN+ and what that means for us and for the greater cycling community. It's obviously terrible, but listen to our conversation to get some chumps perspectives on why.
2023-11-171h 19Velo ChumpsSpurring Your PerformanceThis week the Chumps talk about some new products that claim to improve your performance, or at least your on bike experience, in one way or the other. We discuss if these claims have any merit, and more broadly what chumps should think about the marketing claims that accompany product releases. Then, Mike is back in action with not 1 but 2 factoids this week!

2023-11-1004 minVelo ChumpsDirty Dozen - It's ComplicatedThis week the Chad and Eric give a recap of a an event we did in Pittsburgh called the Dirty Dozen. It is small but a lot of people have heard of the ride because of the steep hills that are part of it. After that the Chumps tackle the question of whether bikes these days are too complicated or not. Mike is back on track with the factoid this week, so listen to the end for that!
2023-11-051h 05Velo ChumpsNice Things to Say?In this episode, the Chumps are uncharacteristically positive about some of the new bikes and tech that have recently surfaced. A new indoor trainer option is timely for those of us where winter is around the corner. A few new bikes that are chump friendly, and a curious drive train that has a lot of positives round out the episode. The end of the show derailed, and we had to edit a new ending in, but listen to the end details about a special treat for you!
2023-10-201h 03Velo ChumpsInvisible World Championships?If a race goes down in the woods, but no ones sees it, is it still a race? The Chumps discuss the UCI Gravel World Championships and the coverage of it (or lack thereof). This lack of coverage itself has been discussed by many people in many places, but we try to bring the Chump perspective as usual. Listen to the end for Chad coming through yet again with another historical fact(oid)!
2023-10-141h 09Velo ChumpsCross Checked OutThe Chumps start by referring back to an early episode where we gave Wahoo some advice that they finally followed! We talk a little racing, specifically Mark Cavendish, but from a chump's perspective. And, like everyone else this week, we finished up by talking about the sad demise of the Survey Cross Check and what it means for the chumps out there. The factoid was actually in the form of a failed quiz game, just listen to the end and you will understand.
2023-10-0755 minVelo Chumps(Re)Calling all CranksThe Chumps talk about, what else, the Shimano Ultegra and Dura Ace crank recall. Chad thinks we are fueling the fire by even talking about this as he thinks the whole thing is already overblown. But seriously, what else were we going to talk about this week? At least for Chad he comes through with another excellent historical factoid!
2023-09-291h 05Velo ChumpsTech that Moves YouThis week the Chumps start with some short racing takes on the Vuelta a España. The main topics though are some new tech from Wahoo and Silca, and new endurance bikes from Specialized and Giant. We give you some insight on whether or not you should go out and buy these new shiny things. Mike's factoid this week is a personal one, so be sure to listen to the end.
2023-09-181h 07Velo ChumpsWaving at 12 speed GRX Di2?Randy is back! So we give him a wave at the start of the show. Chad talks about his theory for GRX 12 speed Di2, and then Randy has questions about rim and tire compatibility. We have discussed this before, but its important enough to revisit. Stay to the end for another historical bike factoid from Chad!

2023-09-073h 59Velo ChumpsBig WheelsThe Chumps talk a little Vuelta, particularly how (dis)organized it has been so far. The big topic though is some new big wheels and what they mean for bikes and riders. Chad tells us about his love for custom bikes and the MADE show where US builders are showing their wares, and he also, once again, comes through with a factoid!

2023-08-191h 08Velo ChumpsMasters of Marketing? Maybe NotIn the cycling world, it sometimes seems that brands put as much effort into marketing as they do into the products themselves. No brand is more recognized for their marketing than Specialized, but did they get it right with the launch of their new Tarmac SL8? The Chumps have some opinions on that, and no, we didn't even discuss the "Speed Sniffer" once. The issue seems much bigger than silly names for ugly parts of the bike.
2023-08-1153 minVelo ChumpsIntelligentsia Cup Race SideThe Chumps went to the races! We bring you some race side analysis and perspective on American Criterium (Crit) racing at it's highest level. This style of racing is non stop action, and we hope that we can bring you just a little bit of the excitement you can experience at a crit race. If just one person listens to this episode and then decides to attend a crit in the future, we will consider that a success.
2023-08-021h 18Velo ChumpsTour Fantasies, and Computers?The Chumps talk a little bit about the Tour de France - our Tour fantasy league and also how brands often use the Tour to market their bikes or other tech. Wahoo is certainly one of those brands, and we tell you if you should buy a Wahoo or Garmin bike computer. Stick to the end because Eric has the factoid this week and it involves dentists.

2023-07-1448 minVelo ChumpsGeometry for Chumps?The Chumps start off with a little tool talk, but the main topic is the evolution of bike geometry and whether or not bike brands are giving chumps like us the geometry we need. At the end, Chad gives us a factoid instead of Mike, and it is a good one!
2023-07-041h 01Velo ChumpsUn-enthusiasts watch Unchained - Special Episode 2The second installment of our special series where we talk to non-cycling enthusiasts to see if the Netflix Tour de France Unchained Docuseries sparks an interest in the Tour and road racing in general. In this episode, we talk to Josue, who is a sports fan, but he is not in to cycling at all. He doesn't even ride bikes for fun right now, but maybe that will change after watching Unchained.

2023-06-2222 minVelo ChumpsElectronics are the future...?The Chumps have a few special announcements. First, we introduce our Instagram and YouTube accounts:
https://www.instagram.com/velochumps
https://www.youtube.com/@VeloChumps
Then we discuss all the new electronics for bikes that were recently announced. SRAM released entry level electronic shifting with Apex AXS, and Zwift is adding video game controllers to your handlebars. Mike had to leave early this week, so listen to the end for a classic factoid from Chad.
2023-06-1858 minVelo ChumpsUn-enthusiasts watch Unchained - Special Episode 1Netflix released the long awaited Tour de France Unchained Docuseries, and we thought it would be interesting to get some reactions from non-cycling enthusiasts to see if this series sparks an interest in the Tour specifically and road racing in general. In this first special edition we talk with our friend Casey. She is an accomplished triathlete, but not someone who was into watching professional cycling at all . . . until now.
2023-06-1646 minVelo ChumpsRide 10 Thousand RecapThe Chumps recap their annual epic gravel adventure into the Driftless region of Illinois. This year was a lot of fun, and there was a surprise story that happened after the ride was over. We also discuss the latest entry level bike from Specialized and what it means for Chumps that are just starting out with cycling.
2023-06-041h 02Velo ChumpsJosh Poertner talks to the Velo Chumps!In this special episode we were lucky enough to talk with Josh Poertner, President of Silca, and general bike tech legend. Josh tells some great stories, including why your road bike has disc brakes. He also confirms a lot of what we have been saying about the need to build a strong bike community. Bikes are becoming more complicated and difficult to set up and maintain, and new riders, or experienced riders getting new tech, will need help from the cycling community to keep their bikes safe and working. Listen to the end for the Chumps' take on what...
2023-05-171h 40Velo ChumpsHappy PointsAll of us Chumps, and the vast majority of cyclists, ride our bikes to make us happy. But brands keep trying to sell us speed. Of course going faster might make us happy, but is it the only thing that makes us happy on a bike? Probably not.

2023-05-0232 minVelo ChumpsRide to Survive?The Chumps discuss the upcoming Netflix Tour de France Documentary, made by the same production company that made the very successful Drive to Survive F1 docu-series. We talk about what the Tour docu-series might mean for road racing in particular and cycling in general. We also talk about a few new bikes and this week's factoid actually comes from Randy, even though it centers around Mike. Don't miss it!
2023-05-0159 minVelo ChumpsOss Pee WeeThe Chumps talk about our latest race and the (questionable) nutrition strategies that some of us used on race day. We also discuss some Strava features that regular chumps want and what we got instead. And, you will just have to listen all the way to the end to understand what this week's show title is about.
2023-04-201h 01Velo ChumpsPerformance for ChumpsThe bike industry makes a lot of claims about the performance gains that new products can provide. But do any of these gains really make a difference for chumps riding at chump speeds? Well, bike performance is governed by the laws of physics, and people have developed formulas and calculations to describe the physical world we live (and ride) in. Lucky for you, the Chumps do some of the math for you on this episode so you can better understand how much you are really going to gain when you buy the latest performance bike or component.
2023-04-111h 02Velo ChumpsPeople with HammersThis week the Chumps discuss the next big thing, SRAM's new Transmission group set. In fact, the high end version is literally called the "SRAM XX SL T Type AXS Eagle Transmission Groupset." The episode was running long so we didn't have time to say that whole name so it's here in the show notes. Unlike everyone else, we are not reviewing the new group set, partly because SRAM did not send us anything in advance to try out. We are instead talking about what this means for the future of bikes, especially bikes for the regular people out there...

Velo ChumpsRide on Bikes with Jason McKenzieThis week we got to sit down with Jason McKenzie. He is the owner of Ride on Bikes, a shop in Columbus Georgia that is "Probably the best bike shop in the world". You don't want to miss the knowledge and perspective that Jason shared with us! He told us about what it is like being a part of the greater bike community, what his bike shop went through during COVID, and what it means for him with big bike brands going direct to consumer more and more.
If you are in the area, definitely pay Jason...
2023-03-221h 19Velo ChumpsShaved Legs and Peanut ButterThe Chumps talk about some interesting (though some may say odd) topics this week. Thankfully we are not taking about shaved legs and peanut butter at the same time though. On the topic of shaved legs, there is a YouTube video mentioned in the podcast with some facts from Josh Poertner at Silca that you can see for yourself here: https://youtu.be/zX15XT1qx2U
2023-03-1553 minVelo ChumpsHorses for CoursesThis week the Chumps talk about the excitement of women's racing, new group sets, and we tell you about a few of our bike adventures. Also, Mike's factoid this week is a "news" item he came across that might appeal to cyclists.
2023-03-081h 02Velo ChumpsIs Your Bike Trying to Kill YouIs all bike innovation good innovation? The Chumps discuss how bikes have changed over the years for better and for worse. We also talk about some bike tech like the Classified hub and OSPWs. Mike Green has some (allegedly) pro tips for us this week, so listen to the end.
2023-03-011h 00Velo ChumpsCan Shimano predict the future?The Chumps address the recent Shimano annual financial report and what it tells us about the industry as a whole - in short, we don't like it. What went wrong? Mike is back with a super factiod that you don't want to miss at the end of this week's show. Also, we talk about donuts!
2023-02-221h 02Velo ChumpsTraining for ChumpsThe Chumps have something to train for! We talk about the (sometimes sorry) state of the industry that is trying to sell Training related products and services to regular people like us.
