Listen "Bike Sauce on Cycling YouTube "Science""
Episode Synopsis
He's one of the few Bike-niche YouTubers qualified to design experiments, and his data don't lie. Today we are joined by Nolan (The Bike Sauce). He teaches Mechanical Engineering by day at University, and rides gravel by night... or actually just whenever. We answer listener questions about the Specialized Future Shock and frame compliance and even learn a little about drone photography.
