Hello everyone welcome back to another special episode of the Geek Warning Podcast brought to

you by the Escape Collective the show where we not only bring you up to speed on the

latest happenings in the world of bicycle tech but also help you make your

own bike as good as it can be now Now our last two special episodes were Ask

a Ranch editions where we answered a whole bunch of members submitted

questions on maintenance, repair, tuning, upgrades, that sort of thing. And we

figured we'd follow up on that with a Workshop Edition where we'll chat about what you need to get your home workshop up and running,

maybe some nice optional extras, some ideas on how to physically set up that workshop,

and basically what tools should go where and why. So we've got a whole big

pile of collective professional mechanic experience on the show with us today. Joining me is my fellow

tech editor at Escape Collective, Dave Rome. Hi Dave. Hey James. We also have

Instagram famous mechanic Brad Copeland who spent a decade on the UCI World Cup

director at
