This episode tells you all you need to know (and maybe even a little bit more) about wheels, tubes, and tires. And the expert guest TJ Tollakson - an industrial engineer, the Owner of Dimond Bicycles, the Founder and CEO of Rüster Sports, and a former professional triathlete - is the 'man for the job' when talking about the science behind optimizing your setup. TJ, along with TriDot Coach Jeff Raines, discuss types of wheels, braking surfaces, tire widths, tube selection, and more! What goes into the engineering of a top notch wheelset?
