Speaking of questions, if you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).

For pretty much all of your cycling accessory needs make sure to check out Bike Tires Direct. I’ve had a bunch of y’all reach out asking about my experience with the Pirelli Zero Race tires I put on my MOG a few weeks back and so far, I’m digging them.

Check out tires and more over at biketiresdirect.com and use the code “bonkbros” at checkout.

If you’ve been keeping up with Vuelta news then you’ve probably seen that a whole boat load of Vismas bikes were stolen and if I had to put my money on the main motivation, I’d say it’s probably because they’ve got the hottest chains in the business thanks to that Silca wax treatment they’re getting each night. So, no promises your bike won’t get stolen after you wax it but I do promise there will be less mess and more speed. Again that’s “BonkBrosAug2025” at checkout.

Shout out to everyone we ran into this past weekend while out in Cloud City, it’s always so fun and cool to mingle with the fans and hear about some of your favorite takes from the show. Speaking of running into people, DJ and I also got to meet Adam Barker, founder of Bolt Skin + Shave, for the first time in person at their expo booth and he was stoked about how many of y’all mentioned hearing him guest appear on the show last week and stop by the booth to check out their products after. So thank y’all for that. And if you did stop by then you know that we weren’t joking about how heavy those razor handles are (in a good way) so hopefully you picked one up so you too can get level up your shave game.
Another big shout out to the Silca folks, always good catching up with them at the events, and I was even lucky enough to bring home some new hardware in the form of their Ultimate shock pump. Now, if y’all have been listening to this show for a while then you’ll know I’m a pretty die hard SRAM boy so I was a little hesitant at first to step away from my trust Rockshox shock pump but let me tell you, this Ultimate shock pump is just a thing of beauty.

Leadville Bike Drops, Small Feet, and Shower Talk (01:31:41)
Episode 163 – Leadville Bike Drops, Small Feet, and Shower Talk
What up party people. Welcome back for another stacked episode of the Bonk Bros Podcast. We’ve got a guest appearance for y’all today so stay tuned for that to happen about halfway through the show. We get into some more pre-Leadville talk including more bike setup discussions, then we talk a little bit of Tour de France Femme, before getting into some listener questions and some foot stuff, oh yeah and DJ’s big tire dilemma.
Speaking of tires, ya boy just got my first set of road tires in the mail this week from our good friends over at Bike Tires Direct and boy howdy am I stoked. I haven’t had a proper set of road tires probably since I sold my last road bike back in 2018. I actually still miss that Cannondale Supersix Evo but I digress. Now I know what you’re thinking, wait if you don’t have a road bike then what are you going to do with road tires?? Well, glad you asked because these aren’t just your average 25mm road tires. Nah, I got me some 40mm Pirelli Zero Race tires that I’m going to swap onto one of my ENVE wheel sets for my MOG because I’ve been finding myself riding more pavement these days and the SWorks Pathfinders that I’ve been using as my “road tires” kinda just serve as crappy road tires to be honest. So I didn’t want to go all the way to road size tires because I’m honestly just used to smashing into things after so many years without riding anything under 40mm that I was afraid I would just hate it. So, I’m going to slap these bad boys onto my MOG later today and give them a rip and report back on what I think. If you too want to pick up a slick set of road tires (or any tires for that matter) make sure to check out all that’s on offer at biketiresdirect.com and use the code “bonkbros” for a sweet discount at the end.
For updates on any and all of our supporting partners including the latest discount codes for y’all, check out the show notes each week so you can get access to some of our favorite items from partners like Silca and Bolt Skin+Shave, KetoneAid, or those amazingly intelligent lawyer folks over at Scarborough Bicycle Accident Law.
Oh yeah one more thing, if you’re just absolutely blown away every week by the incredible sound quality and seamless editing of not only the audio but also the video version over on YouTube, well surprise surprise that has nothing to do with any of us goons on the show and for that you are welcome. All AV magic takes place behind the scenes by our wonderful Taylor, who not only has to listen to the show while editing each week but she even sits in on the recordings to make sure and keep us in line, well mostly Drew that is. So huge shout to Taylor who doesn’t get enough praise from us for doing the dang thing week in week out.
Alright, I’ll hop off the sap wagon now and let y’all get on with the show. If you have any questions or feedback you can always email us at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Instagram. Or you can sign up for Patreon. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out our sister podcast the Bonk Babes Podcast who killed it on their first episode last week, bravo ladies.

The Tour Finale and the Pre-Pre-Leadville 100 Gravel Race Episode (01:23:14)
Episode 162 – The Tour Finale and the Pre-Pre-Leadville 100 Gravel Race Episode
What up party people. Welcome back for another fun episode of the Bonk Bros Podcast where we’re talking about our thoughts on the Tour finale, getting into all things drop bars at the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike (I mean gravel) race, as well as our reaction to Dizzle’s latest round of VO2max testing, and plenty more.
As always, this episode is brought to you by some of our AMAZING partners who continue to stand by our side and bring you access to some of our favorite products that we use on the daily.
For all of your bicycle tire and accessory shopping needs head over to Bike Tires Direct (or BTD as we call them) and use code “bonkbros” when checking out for a sweet little discount. BTD was kind enough to support the Crested Butte training camp that I co-hosted a few weeks ago and sent us a boat load of tires for the athletes to demo, along with some Silca sealant, and they also provided us with a couple of the newest head units from Garmin, the Edge MTB. We got to put these rugged little buggers to the test over the course of the week and one of the lucky campers even got to go home with one after we raffled it off at the end of camp. If you’re in the market for a new bike computer and you’re anything like me and constantly breaking these darn things then be sure to check out the Garmin Edge MTB head unit over at Bike Tires Direct.
Next up if you’re just sick of having to always pretend like you’re buying razors for your wife at the store every time you run out of leg shavers, then check out the best razors for men who shave their legs from our friends over at BOLT Skin + Shave. And for an extra 15% off that silky smooth shave experience type in code BROS15 at checkout. That’s Bolk Skin + Shave (code: BROS15)
Oh yeah we've also got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always developing the latest in marginal gains products plus a whole bunch more. Silca too was a sponsor of the Crested Butte camp, setting us up with Crockpotanator 4000s, tons of Secret Blend wax and all the various chip additives, they made sure we were washing bikes in style every night with the Bike Spa treatment, plus they made sure each camper went home with some Super Secret wax drip lube. Check out any of these products and more over at Silca.cc and use the code “Bonkbrosjuly2025” for discount at checkout.
Just a few more here for y’all.
If you’re still in the process of dialing in your training and racing fueling strategy (which you should always be doing) then you need to experiment with the magical powers of ketone esthers by the folks over at KetoneAid. Once you do, you’ll quickly find that unlike the absolute monstrosity of sugary concoctions high carb drink mixes are, KetoneAid brings you a product that can be used for both on the bike and off the bike fueling to support overall lifestyle performance. Use ketones for things like enhancing cognitive function, improving recoverability and sleep, and even for that afternoon pick-me-up before you leave the office to head home and hammer out a training ride. Click the link in the show notes for free shipping.
Speaking of hammering out rides, if you’re serious about your fitness but just don’t have the time or resources available to work with a coach, don’t overlook the power of AI to help you curate an effective and easy to follow training plan for your situation. JOIN cycling wants to make sure that every rider has access to a training program just like that and even wants to offer you a FREE month of training when you can head to join.cc/campaigns/bonkbros or click the link in the show notes.
And last one for today is Bicycle Accident Law. Spearheaded by Matthew Scarborough, who is with you on every ride, for better or worse, Bicycle Accident Law is your go-to resource any time you’re involved with a vehicle incident while out riding and need advice navigating the legal process that follows. Just mention the Bonk Bros sent you if you’re in need of their services for a bonus offer, including a month of FREE coaching with Ignition Coach Co when you return to riding.
Alright I hear ya, that’s enough business talk for today, if you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).

Episode 161 - Big Name Tour Dropouts and Dizzle Cracked the Top 10(6) in Iceland!
What up party people. I apologize for the sweat beading off my face, I just got back from a steamy rucking session over at the local ski hill and it's absolutely scorchin' out there. Luckily, I had all day fuel on board from our friends at KetoneAid so now I'm straight buzzin' and ready to get back to some good ol' computer work and house stuff.
Speaking of friends at KetoneAid, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all who continue to support the show with your hard earned dollars by picking up some of your favorite products from any number of our amazing show sponsors. We love hearing from our partners that y'all are straight up killing it with the use of those discount codes because it truly does help us keep this thing rolling. None of us have actually taken any pieces from the pie personally yet, however, having some play money allows us to do cool things like upgrade equipment when we need it, pay for professional producing so your boy doesn't have to go back to receiving hate mail every week for the shoddy edit jobs I was doing back in the old days, we also get to use those funds to come to events and meet with some of y'all in person (like Leadville in a few weeks, Chequamegon the month after, I'm sure a few of us will be down at Big Sugar again to witness Dylan having NOT fun at the gravel rave, and you better believe we're bringing the heat to the legendary Iceman in November). Also, if you stick around to the end of the show you'll hear a teaser for a new spin off podcast that will be launching here soon, so just another example of those funds going to cool things.
That said, if you're new here I'll just quickly rattle off a few of our continued supporters so you can hop on the discount code train along with our boy Dizzle who's always shopping those sales.
We've got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always mixing it up with fun discount codes to share with y'all with the latest code being “Bonkbrosjuly2025”.
For that silky smooth shave experience check out our homies over at Bolk Skin + Shave (code: "BROS15")
For all of your bicycle tire and accessory shopping needs head over to Bike Tires Direct (or BTD as we call them) and use code “bonkbros”

Episode 160 - Tour Talk and DJ's Riding the (Over)train to Leadville
What up party people. Thanks for all the positive feedback y’all gave us for the episode with Alex Howes last week. Sounds like y’all really enjoyed having him mixed into the conversations, which probably says more about Howesy himself than anything we brought to the table but nonetheless, we enjoyed it too. Hopefully we can have Alex back in the hot seat again soon for y’all to pick up where we left off.

Next up is our friends over at Bike Tires Direct where you can get basically anything you could possibly want or need to support your cycling addiction. I just just got back from ripping my way through the high country of Crested Butte, Colorado while putting some new Vittoria Barzos to the test and so far I’ve been pretty impressed. They handled the chunk like an absolute champ (even though I did hit the deck at one point, but that wasn’t the tires fault), and I even won our local short track race on them last night to prove they can also rip some steamy fast trail racing. Check out all the tires from Vittoria and countless other brands over at biketiresdirect.com and use the code “bonkbros” at checkout.
For all bike maintenance and marginal gains needs head over to Silca.cc and use the code “Bonkbrosjuly2025” at checkout for a sweet little discount.

Check out all the chain waxing options and so much more from our homies at Silca, and again that’s code “Bonkbrosjuly2025” for an extra discount.
This week DJ gave us an update on the latest status of his leg recovery, including his first time out on dirt since the accident. If you should find yourself in a similar situation where you come into contact with a moving vehicle while out riding, make sure you always have your go-to resource handy to help you navigate the legality of the situation. Scarborough Bicycle Accident Law wants to be with you every step of the way throughout the process, and to show their continued support beyond the court room, they’re now offering TWO FREE months of coaching with Ignition Coach Co for any of our listeners who find themselves in that unfortunate situation. Just mention the Bonk Bros sent you and they will get you back on the bike ASAP.
And last but not least this week is definitely a brand you’ll be seeing plenty of over the next few weeks at the Tour. That’s right, our trustworthy homies over at KetoneAid are doing ketone supplementation right so if you want to get your hands (or mouth) on that same liquid gold as all the fast bois at the Tour then click the link in the show notes to get you some today.
Alright that’s all the business for today, let’s get this party started!

Anyway, tune in for some big announcements and hot takes.
