Rouleur tech podcast: Unbound with Alison Tetrick

In what host Dan Cavallari dubs 'Tech tricks with Tetrick' – see what he did there? – former Unbound winner Alison Tetrick takes us through her set up for the 200-mile gravel race in Kansas.

Tetrick starts with a special Specialized Diverge with Future Shock suspension running at all times and Pathfinder tyres with the pressure set just so – whatever that is. Comfort is key, including an anatomically correct saddle, Camelbak vest and snack bags. And Dan chips in with some bourbon suggestions for Alison's emergency hip flask.

But at the end of the day, her advice is: "Get to the frickin' start line and go. It's just bikes. Have fun." We like Alison's style very much.
