Welcome to the Ascicycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road. I'm coach Jonathan Lee and we are here in Kona again

0:07.2

With another special episode with our head coach Chad Zimmerman everybody Nate Pearson blue and two special guests

0:13.6

But they'll sound like one probably two special guests John and Chris Thornham from flow cycling. What's up guys?

0:19.9

Hey, man. How you doing? We're doing great. Thanks. Sweet. Thank you guys just answered your own question

0:24.4

So those that don't know their twins and flow cycling they

0:29.6

Really how long ago did you guys get started

0:32.8

We started designing and thinking probably in 2009 and we first started selling in 2012 February 2012

0:39.1

And what they're selling are wheels right yep, so we designed and manufactured carbon fiber cycling wheels for bicycles

0:44.6

Yeah, and they're it's really we wanted to have you guys on here because recently you put out

0:51.8

Basically a case study a numerous case studies where you really went in depth with CFD and you really went in

0:58.5

Depth with design on your on your newest batch of wheels or newest design newest model and you guys went you'd like deep dive and all of it

1:06.4

We geeked out on it. We love it and we think that we can learn a lot about aerodynamics wheels tire pressure

1:13.1

How the two interface bunches really resistance yeah all that stuff

1:17.0

So that's what we want to dig into today

1:19.2

And hopefully what we can grab from all this is different things we can do even if you don't have or for example a set of flow wheels

1:26.4

But different things that make a certain wheel set good or make them bad and different things you can do to set up your wheels with tire pressure

1:33.4

Or which tires you pick or anything or which depth you pick all that stuff

1:37.6

And then people can make action will take ways to make them faster. Yep, so cool

1:42.0

Let's get right into things. I guess with you mostly make row or road in triathlon. That's your market

1:48.0

That's our primary market for now. Yeah, we have some other stuff that we're working on

1:50.8

But today you can buy road and try stuff the other stuff tricycles

1:55.8

So I see this a lot, but I don't want to make this a a flow
