Your Tyres Are Slowing You Down Here’s Why
This week on Rider Support, Anthony and Sarah dive deep into the rubber that meets the road. Tyre width, PSI, tubeless vs clincher—turns out most riders are doing it wrong. We break down the myth of high pressure, the truth about rolling resistance, and exactly what setup you should be using based on your weight and terrain. We also tackle tubeless fails, sealant myths, and whether the switch is worth it. Plus: a wild moment at Roubaix involving Van der Poel, honest thoughts on whether cycling clubs are pushing people away from the sport, Garmin vs Hammerhead, kit sizing nightmares, and the great Velosamba style debate.To calculate your zones or tyre pressure you can use our free calculator here https://www.roadmancycling.com/membersOur S&C Plan - https://www.roadmancycling.com/strengthandconditioningThe podcast wouldn't be possible without our amazing sponsors:If you would like to join Anthony & Sarah and race the L'Etape by Tour de France event in Las Vegas go tohttps://lasvegas.letapebytourdefrance.com/ and use the following code to get a 20% discount at checkout! - Roadman20REAPCustom Carbon Composition Bikes made in the UK.

The Cost of Discipline: Burnout, Body Image & the Hustle Myth With Brian Keane
What happens when the identity that once drove you starts holding you back?
