Is John looking for the latest podcast? No! He’s looking for a feed or a bottle or something. He knows all his compatriots are having drinks and having a good ole time, but where’s his? Hear about this, plus the Two Johns thoughts on the spring season wrap up, Rebellin getting implicated, local news, John K goes to Georgia, John G sees the world- or at least the wind swept corn fields of Ohio and we both tell about it. This week we receive communique from F.R.R. (who sends twice), Z Man flexes his muscles, reverser nodders & race facing again, what should I drink?, open clinchers, why don’t more ride them?, and a return from a very special contributor who gets his own theme music. We break format; feedback of the week is selected and given the choice of slipstreams OR socks- the choice is yours! All this & more in this, the 81st edition of the Two Johns Podcast.

If you are that thirsty John G, you should get a camel back.

King hubs do not offer a campy cassette body. But you can get a 9 speed shimano spaced cassette to work fine. Just use the limit screw to lock out the lowest cog, and start by adjusting the chain in the 5th cog.

joyeux anniversaire David Moncoutie! For those of you that have not seen all the dznuts ( Zabriske ) videos, you need to check them out! Go to Cyclocosm.com and from there you can link to others.

Okay I already e-mailed this to you guys, but then I found your blog!! Here ya go:
In response to the questions regarding open tubulars…. One benefit to a tubular is that it allows a nearly perfect round shape of tire on the rim whereas a clincher is forced into more of a teardrop shape. The roundness of a tubular allows for more contact to the ground, thus better ride quality/grip/performance etc. The Vittoria open clincher attempts to achieve the roundness of the tubular. Deda also makes an open clincher, the RS Corsa, which customers at the shop I manage seem to prefer over the Vittoria. Hope this enlightens you!

PS It’s your podcast, however I would like to suggest that you recommend people be fitted for a frame before choosing, not recommend by brand. A Cervelo (as you mentioned in the podcast) might not be the best fit based on their measurements.

I think simon gerrans is 28 or 29, I saw him win the Prato Nevoso (whatever the spelling) stage of Le Tour last year.

where is the z-man pic? i came on here to compare guns but was disappointed…
i might send a topless pic of myself but I have lost a lot of weight since the last podcast as I have been training so hard, so i think I would lose a “guns-off” with the z-man.

Personally, I like the ‘chicken arms/T-Rex/light ABOVE the belt’ effect on a cyclist – put your money where it counts~!
