Welcome back to a new season of Bench Talk on the Endurance QuickCast. We start our new recording season every November and as promised there are going to be some changes in all of the shows. With that being said I want to welcome Joe O’Callaghan owner of Irish Cycles and Carolina Precision Components as my new co-host and sponsor of Bench Talk. Today we are discussing what it takes to get your bike feeling new again.
Note: Before you get out pencil and paper for the show I want to let everyone know that that this show will have extensive show notes. To find the show notes simply go to PositivePerformanceCoaching.com/blog/ or search for the show title on our website.
