Die Abkürzung SW bei Automobilen ist eine von vielen Bezeichnungen für einen Kombi. Bei Peugeot bedeutet SW Station Wagon. Warum das so ist, weiß ich ehrlich gesagt nicht, aber ich habe mal bei einem Station Wagon behauptet, das SW stehe für „Schöner Wohnen!“ Beim aktuellen Peugeot 308 SW stimmt das auch jeden Fall. Es ist dann ein „automobiles Schöner Wohnen!“ Darum geht es diesmal!Selbst unter dem Blick auf übliche automobile Lebenszyklen ist der Peugeot 308 SW ein Jungspund. Seinen Markteintritt erlebte er am 11. Juni 2022, also quasi vorgestern! SW steht bei Peugeot für die Kombiversion und die ist optisch gelungen! Wir testen ihn als 308 SW 225 e-EAT8 GT Plug-In Hybrid. Das Outfit!Optisch ist der neue Peugeot 308 SW absolut gelungen. Die Motorhaube ist langezogen, die Windschutzscheibe nach hinten versetzt. Insgesamt wirkt die Linienführung der Karosserie athletisch und katzenartig und besonders schlank und dynamisch. Das Emblem mit dem neuen Löwen-Logo der Marke ist prominent in der Mitte des neuen, vertikal ausgerichteten Kühlergrills angebracht.   Power und Drive!    Als 308 SW Käufer hat man die Wahl zwischen reinen Benzin, - Diesel- und Hybridmotorisierungen. Einstiegsmotorisierung ist der 1.2 l PureTech mit 96 kW/131 PS. Die gleiche Leistung hat auch das BlueHDi Dieselaggregat, es zieht diese Leistung allerdings aus 1.5 l Hubraum. Und schließlich kann man unter zwei Hybridmotorisierungen mit Systemleistungen von 133 kW / 180 PS und 165 kW / 225 PS wählen. Wir hatten die letztgenannte Variante im Testfuhrpark. Dieser Motor beschleunigt den 308 SW in 7,6 Sekunden von 0–100 km/h. Da der Wagen auch rein elektrisch unterwegs sein kann, gibt es zwei Höchstgeschwindigkeiten. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit im Elektromodus liegt bei 135 km/h, das ist schon recht komfortabel. Mit Unterstützung des Benziners sind es hundert Kilometer mehr, also 235 km/h. Apropos komfortabel: Das Schalten erledigt ein elektrifiziertes 8-Stufen-Automatikgetriebe, also genau richtig für schaltfaule Fahrer wie mich! Die Kosten! Werfen wir noch schnell einen Blick auf die Preise. Die bewegen sich zwischen 31.450, -- € und 46.500, -- € für die von uns getestete Version Peugeot 308 SW 225 e-EAT8. Beide Plug-in-Hybride gibt es übrigens nur in der Topausstattung GT. Wenn Sie sich mal die Mühe machen, die einzelnen Ausstattungen zu betrachten, dann werden Sie feststellen, dass es fast überall ein „S“ für serienmäßig gibt! Somit ist der Preis absolut gerechtfertigt!  Alle Fotos: ©  Peugeot Deutschland GmbH / Stellantis   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

This week Randall and Craig open up the floor to questions from The Ridership. Support the Podcast Join The Ridership  Automated Transcription, please excuse the typos: In the Dirt 32 [00:00:00] Craig Dalton: Hello, and welcome to the gravel ride podcast, where we go deep on the sport of gravel cycling through in-depth interviews with product designers, event organizers and athletes. Who are pioneering the sport I'm your host, Craig Dalton, a lifelong cyclist who discovered gravel cycling back in 2016 and made all the mistakes you don't need to make. I approach each episode as a beginner down, unlock all the knowledge you need to become a great gravel cyclist. I'm going to be joined Really By my co-host randall jacobs for another episode of in the dirt [00:00:34] Craig: randall, how you doing today? [00:00:36] Randall: I'm doing well, Craig, good to see you, bud. [00:00:39] Craig: Yeah. Great to see you too. I mean, I've been looking forward this just a, a little bit of reprieve from everything else that's going on in life. It's just nice to connect with you and just purely have a half hour an hour conversation about bikes. [00:00:51] Randall: Yeah. Yeah. I know you've been going had a lot going on with your mom and so on. So, you know, definitely sending a lot of love and good vibes to you and your family going through some challenging times. [00:01:01] Craig: Yeah, I appreciate that. I mean, we it's the conversations we've had on the podcast and certainly within the ridership community, just about the value of this pursuit of gravel cycling and just kinda getting outta your head. I I've always loved it in that, like when you're on a, a gravel trail, particularly a technical gravel trail, like I ride you can't really think about anything else, but what's in front of you. And it's just so, so helpful for me to just sort of think about the bike and performance and riding. Rather than thinking about everything else going on all the time. [00:01:32] Randall: Yeah. Yeah, I can, I can relate. I've been processing some heavy things in my own life these days. And at the same time returning to the bike, I've been doing a lot more walking, hiking trail running lately as well as like canoeing and kayaking the canoes great with the kids. But there's. There's that flow state that you can get into on the bicycle that is, you know, people talk about runners high. I've never really had that. I don't think I can run long enough to get to that head space, but on the bicycle, there's just a place where everything is just in sync and the it's. I just feel very connected to everything, but not overwhelmed by it. If that makes sense. [00:02:13] Craig: yeah. You know, I was up in lake Tahoe last weekend and did a bunch of standup paddle boarding. I got some good recommendations from people on the ridership as to where I should explore to ride. And I had a bike, but honestly I just left it on the patio because I, it was just enjoying the lake so much. And to your point, like with standup paddle boarding, I found, you know, I just have to focus on the balance piece. So I, I, it sort. Took me to that same place. I just got in the rhythm of stroking on either side of the standup paddle board and, and being focused on the physicality of it. And, and the moment that I was experiencing, which, which I also really enjoyed. [00:02:49] Randall: Yeah, standup paddleboards are great. I actually like them. I use them occasionally standing up, but having them as like your own little floating island in the middle of a lake or a pond you know, you can have two adults. I've had, you know, another adult and a, a toddler on one. And so one adult is in the water swimming and the toddler is kind of jumping on and off and, and it's, it's just so much fun. Yeah, [00:03:12] Craig: but you've got, you've got something coming up. That's kind of probably forcing you a little bit to get back on the bike. Right. [00:03:17] Randall: Well, so, well, one I'm wanting to start coordinating more group rides. We've talked about this quite a bit and just life has gotten in the way you know, the logo launch and some things in, in my personal life and so on. So there's that the O positive festival. In Kingston, New York is coming up. That's the seventh through the 9th of October and community member, Joe conk in the ridership. He is the founder of that festival. And once again, we're gonna be coordinating a gravel ride. Together with a road ride and a a mural tour ride, which will be through the, the city of Kingston and is very family friendly. As part of that weekend, I believe it's gonna be on the eighth. So we'll be posting more information about that in the ridership and would love to have people come out and join. [00:04:00] Craig: That's super cool. I remember you talking about the festival last year and some of the riding that you've done with Joe up there. So that sounds awesome. So for anybody on the east coast, that's within range of that, we're able to travel, as Randall said, it'll definitely put some notes out there. Maybe we can talk about it again, more specifically when you lock down the details. [00:04:17] Randall: Yeah, we're, we're finalizing the route right now and we'll create a page for the event. So if you're interested in staying in touch, we'll definitely announce it here on the pod. I might even bring Joe on for a few minutes to share some more details, but the festival itself, it's, it's arts, it's music, it's community, it's great food and just a wonderful vibe right outside the Catskills and the riding out there is great. I've done quite a bit of riding out there with him and others. So if you're in that area, definitely come out and join us. We'd love to see you. The, the event is it'll be, the ride will be you know, we may ask like for a recommended donation, which doesn't have to be provided, and that goes towards the artist community in Kingston. And then, you know, there'll also be an option to get a wristband for the entire festival too. So. So, yeah. And if you wanna be participate in the conversation, definitely join the the Hudson valley channel in the ridership. That's where, where we'll be talking about this [00:05:07] Craig: Cool. I similarly am trying to get my act together. Cause I signed up to support the Marin county bike coalition and the NorCal NACA league for the eventual adventure revival ride. I think it started three, maybe four years ago. They did had one year that was virtual during the pandemic, but I missed last year cause it sold out. So I was sure to get on it this year. And it's a great route starting out of Fairfax, California. So super fun route , very technical it's only 60 miles, but it's got a decent amount of climbing, particularly up the aply named Randall trail. Off of highway one is a, is a grind at the end. And then you're coming across Fairfax BOS Ridge, but it's a lot of fun. And I believe I saw that Rebecca Rush is joining. [00:05:51] Randall: oh, great. [00:05:52] Craig: So that's gonna be cool. She's so nice. Former podcast guest couldn't have been more friendly when I've connected with her and subsequent times when I've ran into her, it's been awesome. So looking forward to seeing her again. [00:06:04] Randall: I got to meet her at a dinner hosted around sea Oder some years back. And yeah, she's, she's a rad woman. And a great rider. Very, very cool. Is it the same route as the original cause I did the original one some years back living in the bay. [00:06:18] Craig: Yeah, I don't, I don't think they've changed anything. I mean, I'll tell you after the 17th, but I I'm pretty sure it's the same route [00:06:24] Randall: Well, if anyone's considering doing this run higher volume tires and have a properly low gear, cuz you will want both and maybe a suspension stem. [00:06:34] Craig: and maybe a suspension for Randall. [00:06:36] Randall: Yeah. And maybe a suspension fork sacrilegious. But yeah. [00:06:39] Craig: No. Yeah, no, it's a great route and, and totally perfect recommendations Randall, cuz it's, it's, it's technical. It'll push your limits. I mean, I loved it. I just thought it was like one of those roots that favored adventure, like the name, the name is perfect, cuz you're just out there on the mountain. They're carving the route through rugged terrain, you know, basic fire roads and just this awesome part of the north side of Marin. [00:07:06] Randall: I mean, it's the location where mountain biking got ITSs start. And frankly, the gravel bikes that we ride are far superior mountain bikes than they were riding back in those days. So [00:07:14] Craig: Yeah, a hundred percent. I think I recently was at the, at the, the museum up in Fairfax, the mountain Mike museum, and looking at a clunker. And I was just [00:07:23] Randall: Mm-hmm [00:07:24] Craig: I can't even imagine with a kickback break, how they even survived going down Mount. [00:07:29] Randall: well, they had to rebuild those hubs pretty much. Every run is my understanding. So. [00:07:34] Craig: he hence the name repack downhill. [00:07:38] Randall: Yeah. I've ridden with a few of the, the OGs of the mountain biking scene and it, it wasn't the good old days. We definitely have it better now speak speaking of which we have a new bike to nerd about. [00:07:49] Craig: Yeah, not may not maybe a bike that I would take on adventure revival per se, but a very interesting bike for people to take a look at it. It's the BMC now, how do we decide that? It would say pronounce it [00:08:02] Randall: CAS say it with confidence. It's gotta be KIS, maybe [00:08:05] Craig: Kay. [00:08:06] Randall: Ks. Yeah. Something like that. [00:08:08] Craig: Super racey bike, actually, what I would've thought that BMC would've introduced to begin with kind of in the vein of the Cervelo ESP Sparrow, this bike looks, I mean, this bike could have been a road bike. When, when you see a picture of it. [00:08:23] Randall: It's stunning. I love they, there's some unique design elements on the top tube that are very BMC. I like how the, you know, the chains, the seat stays are perfectly paralleled with the down tube and it's just a very elegant bike. The, the paint schemes, particularly on that top end model are quite striking and definitely a gravel race bike. And in fact, I would say a dedicated gravel race bike, which is a little bit different than that as Sparrow. [00:08:48] Craig: Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's seven dedicated 700 C. But it still manages a fairly tight change stay and fairly good tire clearance. I mean, 700 by 45 is nothing to sneeze. [00:09:00] Randall: Yeah, especially in such a, a, you know, a tight change stay. And it's, it's optimized for that. It has 80 milli BB drop, which is to say like the bottom bracket drop relative of relative to the axles. And that's quite a bit, so anyone running longer cranks is. Going to have say like a pedal strike issue. If they try to run smaller tires, which is why I say, like, it's not quite like the Aspero, the Aspero is much more of a one bike. Like you could use it as a dedicated road bike as well. And it would be great for that sounds like bikes like that or ours, or you know, the, the open up that I always call out. So this is. The the bottom bracket drop the fact that it's a, a longer top tube, so longer reach relative to the stack, just make it a bike that is very much optimized for bigger 700 seat tires, shorter stems. And all of this works really well. Well, offroad, but kind of takes away from its versatility as a, as a road bike which [00:09:56] Craig: I also, [00:09:57] Randall: for what it's designed for. [00:09:58] Craig: yeah, I mean, it's very intentional, right. I also saw that they speck like a fairly narrow handle bar on there with a wide flare. So like keeping again, keeping that body tight in that race, race position. Yeah. [00:10:12] Randall: Yeah. Which I, I'm not sure how much I like that. I think it makes a ton of sense on the road. But I, I feel like often, well, we'll, we'll see I think there's, I think there's a place for it. I would probably want if I was gonna go so narrow, I'd probably wanna do a compound flare in order to get even more flare in the drops without having the hoods super kicked out. Because that, you know, that that extra leverage in the drops is, is nice to have, and it's kind of, but, you know, interesting to see some some difference of perspective there, [00:10:43] Craig: Yeah, let me be clear. Like I would be terrified to ride. I think it was a 37 millimeter bar hood to hood. I would be terrified to ride that. I mean, that just seems really tight. I have heard of some of the pros kind of going super narrow and maybe on a, a non-technical course, like a S B T gravel, or if you live in a part of the country where it's, you know, you're just basically on dirt roads that might, that might work. But yeah, for me, I think I'd be terrifi. [00:11:10] Randall: I think that there's a, a place for this. And you, you see it on, on the road. You've seen some road pros go towards more narrow up top and it does improve arrow. And there a lot of gravel races are not that technical. And so that arrow benefit is meaningful. I just think that there's a little bit more evolution to happen in terms of one getting even more arrow on those narrower hoods. So maybe like something to support the forearm a little bit. So you can be grabbing the, the top of the, of the hoods, but, and, and have your your forearms perpendicular the ground at parallel the ground in your upper arm perpendicular. So you really get that arrow benefit, but then, you know, again, compound flare to get that, maintain that extra leverage in the drops when you need it. Nonetheless we're we're getting into deep handlebar nuance here. Let's let's back out and look at the rest of this machine. [00:11:56] Craig: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do think it's, it is just sort of interesting as you pointed out, like this is for a very specific rider and it's pretty natural. Companies are gonna continue to evolve around speed and ultra performance for one side of the market, not the side of the market, that's gonna attract me per se, but as more and more dollars going into racing and more and more people are looking for super high performance, like it's natural that bike companies are gonna do this type of thing. [00:12:24] Randall: There's also an element of like, you know, the bike industry likes N plus one. And so this is distinct enough from a, a road bike where you would have your road bike and, and this bike and the type of person who has this bike probably has multiple bikes. I mean, it is a dedicated race bike so that, you know, it makes sense. [00:12:46] Craig: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You pointed out a few other interesting things about the design as well. [00:12:50] Randall: Yeah, so I like, I like how they did the inter I'm not a huge fan of integrated cabling through handlebars and stems. And I like how it seems that they kept the, the cabling external to the handlebar and then ran it underneath that new rock shop. That new shock stop stem. I think they're calling it some something different. They, they built it in using RedShift's suspension, stem tech. And so it stays external until it drops into the upper headset bear. So that could be a lot worse in terms of serviceability and adjustability and so on. The top end model is a one piece HBAR and stem that has fully internal routing looks stunning, looks really, really beautiful but an absolute nightmare to set up and service. And I wouldn't recommend going that route on any sort of bike period, because even a pro rider needs to be able to get their fit adjusted properly. [00:13:45] Craig: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you and I share the same opinion on like, on elements of bike design that make it constrained from modification, easy modification. So yeah, I'm I'm with you on that. It absolutely looks gorgeous, but knowing me, like, I think I'd be frustrated at the limitations of it. [00:14:03] Randall: yeah, yeah. But kudos to them on the keeping the, the cabling outside the bars on the Lower end models, which I say lower end, they start at six grand, which is another thing about this bike, which is on trend. Everything is so expensive. It's remarkable. How expensive bikes are these days? [00:14:19] Craig: Yeah, we gotta, we got a question about that in the, in the ridership, right? Just sort of, why are bikes so expensive and it's yeah, I don't know. You know, when you look at a $10,000 bike or $6,000 bike, it's just that's. I mean, that's a hell of a lot of money. Yeah. [00:14:33] Randall: I mean, there's, I think there's a few things that go into that. So this was we, we put out some, you know, we asked the, the ridership community for some questions in comments. So this was Matthew Kramer chiming in, you know, asking about why bikes have gotten so expensive. I think a, a big part of it. I mean, of course there's inflation, right? And one of the major drivers of inflation in recent years are COVID related supply chain constraints. Right. So it's harder to get, it's hard to get parts and it's hard to get complete bikes, which means there's, you know, Up until recently. And there was a flood of, of like stimulus money for example, into the market. So you had all these dollars chasing less available product. And so by companies focused on the higher end, I mean, we did the same thing. We, we, you know, we actually kind of regret having eliminated the mechanical model cuz but it was because we couldn't get parts and we went with all access, which is really great, but puts it at a, a more premium point. But. [00:15:27] Craig: you're layering. You're layering in increased fuel costs for transportation. There's a lot of things that have gone into it. [00:15:34] Randall: Yeah, that is a factor. But I, I don't think that that's a major driver for this. I think it's more well, honestly, a, a significant part of it is people are paying it. Right. And there's some R and D that goes in here, like the, you know, this, some of these bikes that you see coming out. On the really high end, you know, the volumes are not that great. And so that R and D has to be incorporated somewhere and with bike companies focusing on the higher end, cuz that's where the bigger margins and dollars are and riders having limited options in the more affordable end of the market, because that's not where bike companies are focusing. I mean, I think it's, it's kind of like the automotive industry right now where, you know, I bought, I bought a used Prius for like seven grand and I've put a bunch of miles into it and like, Like scrape the bumper and things like that. And I could probably sell it for 11 [00:16:24] Craig: Right. [00:16:25] Randall: like, you, you just see that in a number of different domains. And I think the B the, the bike space is no different. But you do get bikes are improving in incremental ways. But I, I, it has been a pretty radical shift towards the top of the market. It's is hard to find middle end products that is frankly, just as good in many ways. [00:16:45] Craig: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you hope over time. We know historically it does trickle down and there's, I mean, don't get us wrong. I, I think there's a lot of good entry level bikes out there. It's just getting your hands on one and finding one today is a challenge. [00:16:59] Randall: When supply chains go from 30 to 60 day lead times to, you know, at one point you know, there were like, you have very limited options for your levers and, and Dils and so on. Right. We have a duopoly in our industry, you know, and can't be is now, you know, they have a, a good product a competitive product in gravel now with their 13 speed stuff ECAR groups. But you know, that stuff was like one to two years. So when that's the case, you know, if you have a limited buy, where are you gonna focus? You're gonna focus on the higher end and that's that? I think that's part of it too. [00:17:32] Craig: Yeah, that makes sense. And I also remember you mentioning on an earlier podcast, just the amount of commitment level the component manufacturers are expecting from you. So, you know, in order to get a, a seat at the table, maybe you have to buy 50 of something, which as a small builder, you know, that could, that's a, that's a lot of dollars out of pocket. [00:17:50] Randall: Well, and the, the smaller builders generally are like, if you're a domestic builder and you're assembling domestically, it's a different supply. You're paying, you're paying more from say like STR for their domestic distributor versus the, you know, their Taiwan based distributor, just because they're manufacturing a lot of that stuff in Taiwan. But yeah, there were greater constraints. Sometimes you had to put a deposit up front and, you know, you put a deposit on something that is not going to, you're not gonna have for a year and you can't get that deposit back. So the, the risks associated with, you know, well, is something else new gonna come out or what's the market gonna look like in a year? So there's, there's all these you know, it, it really drives home, just re how remarkable it was prior to the pandemic that supply chains worked so well. I mean, truly it is a miracle of a whole lot of very complex decentralized coordination that, you know, any of this works at all. As a supply chain nerd, it's, it's something that, that is, is is not lost on me. And yeah, even the current circumstance, it's still pretty amazing what humans do. [00:18:52] Craig: Yeah. [00:18:53] Randall: All right. So where do we want to go from here? [00:18:55] Craig: Yeah. I mean, one thing I did did I thought was interesting that you pointed out about that BMC is that they do have an integrated suspension stem offering from that they've worked with, it sounds like Redshift on [00:19:05] Randall: Yep. [00:19:06] Craig: yeah. [00:19:07] Randall: I thought that was well executed. One downside I believe is that you can't flip the stem and with that beat bike being relatively long and, and on the lower side, like, you know, it's a race bike you know, it's, again, you have more constrained fitment options. I think the standard shock stop, then you can run in the up upward pointing direction. [00:19:28] Craig: Yeah, you can. I think what's interesting to point out there though. So if this in BMCs designer's mind, this is a flat out thoroughbred race, bike. To have that be an option suggests that designers are coming around to the fact that suspension and suppleness can, can be a performance benefit, like put putting, I mean, you and I have talked about that and obviously I'm sold on it, but it just struck me as like this incredibly arrow stretched out race bike is offering that they must have determined that this is gonna help people win races. [00:20:02] Randall: Yeah. Yeah. Fatigue and control it's material. And they've also done a few things with the frame design, which you see on other bikes like the really the, the seat tube towards the bottom gets really narrow. It gets really thin. So it has a lot more flex built in you saw that with bikes, like, you know, the GT grade is, is kind of an extreme example of that, but compliance is, is a great thing. That's the reason why we have one of the reasons we have such wide rims now, too. And what's so great about, you know, high volume, supple tubus tires, you know, it, it all, it all improves speed as a system. [00:20:35] Craig: Yeah. I mentioned this when I had someone from BMC on talking about the S and the S LT. I have a, I have a hard tail BMC, 20 Niner mountain bike from back in the day, like at least a decade ago. And I remember getting on that bike, I came off of a, a similar Niner. Coming to that bike, the back end definitely had a supplement to it. It had that, that exact drop stay design that you're kind of talking about and it really worked. And I was super impressed. I remember when I got on that bike, it just felt so fast and I could control it so well. [00:21:10] Randall: Yeah, well, I had you know, you probably heard the conversation I had on the pod with Craig Cal talking about suspension on road bikes and whether or not you fully agree with that thesis. I think it's, I think it's fairly compelling. Definitely higher volume tires. Like I don't see, even, even in Marin, I would be running minimum 28 mill tub plus tires. Nice low pressures on wide rims. There's no reason to run narrower than that. And you see a lot of the new arrow wheel options for road being built to a width where you can actually get an arrow benefit with those tires, you know, adhering to the rule of one oh 5%, which we had talked about in the wheel episode. So, so yeah, all of these things are, are good developments. [00:21:53] Craig: Yeah. You know, speaking of good developments, I managed actually to hook up with Matt Harvey from Enduro Barings, they did a ride. Out of Fairfax, California, a few weeks back. And I, I joined probably 50 people up there, Yuri, Oswald and other podcast guests was on there. And I think a couple others, I, I think I counted four old podcast guests on that ride, which was great, but a hell of a lot of fun. You had some conversation, some great conversation with him about Enduro Barings, which I hope people will go back in reference. But I think there was a question or a comment about from the ridership about. [00:22:27] Randall: Yeah. So, you know, one of the things that we covered in that episode, which I had so much fun with Matt he's just has a wealth of knowledge about the bicycle industry. He's an engineer, an engineering mindset clearly cares a lot about what he does. And you know, talking about the merits or lack thereof of a lot of ceramic bearings and long story short, most ceramic bearings. Rubbish, the ones that are of those that are good, the majority of them require a lot more maintenance to stay. And the, and the benefit is pretty trivial. And then there's this XD 15 bearing that Enduro makes. And I'm sure, you know, others probably have some, some equivalent, but I haven't looked into it, but that I find really interesting. And this is an Aeros, you know, a, I think a French aerospace alloy used for steel alloy used for the races. And then they have these high, very high grade ceramic ball. And because of this particular steel, which is very expensive and they have to buy it they don't, they can't buy it in tube form. They have to, you know, buy it in sheets and, and take it from there, I believe. But because of the unique properties of this material You can get you can use ceramic bearings and if it gets any contamination, essentially the contamination gets like pulverized and kicked out as opposed to pitting and, and starting to, to damage the the metal, because in many cases, the ceramic bearings, that metal is a lot less hard than the bearing itself. And thus, as a consequence, it's the thing to give. We go into a lot more detail in that episode, but yeah, Hans, I'm gonna, I might butcher this. So, bear with me here. Lale I'm guessing L E L L E I L I D he, he brought up this article that James Wong, why admire immensely? He's at cycling tips now wrote about an Enduro bottom bracket with this XD 15 bearing set. And what James said was incredibly low friction feel phenomenal toughness. We did everything we could to kill it, but this thing is simply incredible. And like that is coming from someone like James Wong. It makes me really think, okay, this is something that we're gonna still do a little bit more investigation and Matt's gonna be sending us some data, but we'll probably, we're strongly considering this in incorporating these into a, a higher end version of our, the logos wheels in the. [00:24:36] Craig: Got it. Nice. Yeah. I mean, I had enough smart people tell me that that was the way to go and happy that I've got that in my bottom bracket of my, my unicorn. That I've started riding. [00:24:47] Randall: Oh, it's an XD 15. [00:24:49] Craig: Yeah, I believe so. [00:24:49] Randall: Oh, sweet. Yeah. Yeah. Genuine benefits that you don't have to spend a lot of time servicing. In fact, the service, it should essentially be zero service. That's pretty cool. [00:25:00] Craig: that's what I'm looking for. [00:25:02] Randall: Not cheap though. Not cheap. So everyone else, high quality steel bearings. [00:25:07] Craig: Yeah. And I think Hans was also leading the conversation around just kind of, like flared bars, flat pedals, different kinds of like, you know, We're just out there for enjoying the ride kind of features of a bike or ways in which you could set up a bike. [00:25:22] Randall: Yeah. I mean, I think flare borrows are de rigor. I. Would run flared bars on every drop bar bike, including a pure road performance bike, just with a, maybe a different philosophy on my road bike, I'd go super narrow and get the flares to have more control in the drops for aerodynamics. But flare is here to stay. You see levers being designed with a little bit of flare. So with flare in mind and you know, any sort of, you know, is there an arrow cost? I have no idea. I, I don't think so. As long as the lever is aligned with. The bar behind it, it should sit in its wake, but if, even if there was the control benefits more than outweigh it. [00:25:58] Craig: Yeah. I think that co that the arrow part might come into play on the trend towards super wide bars. And as the, as you know, I've played around with that, I mean, I've got, I think I've. A 48 on one of my bikes and my fitter kind of brought me back to a 44. I, I do miss kind of the offroad control the way to rip the bike around that I got out of the wider bars, but I'm, I'm fairly comfortable at 44 as well. So I, I think I just need to play around with the flare on the bar that I'm running right now. And then it will be the right, right mix for. [00:26:37] Randall: Well, we've talked about in the the, in the ridership that we're thinking about developing a bar that has a compound flare. So you can get, say like eight degrees on the hoods and then 16 to 20 in the drop. So you kind of get the best of both worlds in that you still get that. You know, that roady fit up top, but then the extra control the, the first bar to do this, I believe was the three T a GI. And, and I don't even know if I'm pronouncing that right. We've talked about it on the pod [00:27:02] Craig: Yeah. And I think there was the other one that was like the Whis whiskey components has something similar [00:27:07] Randall: also does a compound. Yeah, I think compound flare makes a ton of sense for, for all of these bikes. [00:27:15] Craig: I wish it wasn't so costly. And you, you didn't have to sort of go all in to create a bar, like cuz you can't 3d print, something like this, right? [00:27:23] Randall: no, but it, it would be easy enough for somebody to create, say a, a high quality aluminum version. It's just another bending process plus testing regime to make sure that it, you know, it doesn't, it doesn't break on you. [00:27:38] Craig: yeah. I'm gonna keep exploring that. I'm I'm not sort of locked and loaded on my handlebar and stem right now. Still just wanted to make sure that the bike was fitting me correctly. And I feel like I've got enough inputs to figure out which way I wanna go with any one of the cockpit components. [00:27:55] Randall: Well, depending on your, what your timeframe is, I may have a prototype for you in time, so let's [00:28:00] Craig: All right. Many, many reasons why you're a good friend Randall and that's just one of 'em [00:28:04] Randall: you know, a guy, you know, a guy who can get you stuff. [00:28:07] Craig: yeah. [00:28:09] Randall: Tom SHEEO was asking about suspension seat posts. What's your take here? [00:28:14] Craig: I I'm a yes. So, I mean, I've been running on the thesis. I have a, a, a P N w coast dropper that has both a drop and a suspension, and I found that it's air tuned. So. Very tuneable very predictable. And I came to the conclusion, like anytime it moved, when my first inclination was like, oh crap, I'm losing performance. Anytime it moved, I wasn't in a fluid pedal stroke. Like I had hit something unexpectedly and it was just saving me. Similarly, although I think it's less active rock shock on the wireless. Their wireless dropper post does have what they call active ride. And I'm probably not tuned correctly on it right now. Cause I don't feel a lot of movement. The big difference between the two is on the PWC PMC. What am I saying here? Pacific PM. Yes. That one moves when you're fully extended. So it doesn't matter whether you're dropped or not. Like it it'll move. If the amount of pressure applied to it from your, your backside is, is forcing it to move. Whereas the rock shock post, it has to be lowered a little bit. So if you're in the full position, you're who locked out. It's only active when you're down a little [00:29:30] Randall: I wonder if that's a design constraint, because meaning something inherent in how they architected it as a dropper post, because from a product standpoint, that's exactly the opposite of what I would want. [00:29:41] Craig: I'm kind of with you and, and I, you know, in talking to rock shock, they did say some of their riders will actually set it up a little bit high so that they can basically constantly ride it with it on. [00:29:53] Randall: Yeah. I think that makes sense, especially adjustability. So to, to answer Tom's question, I think we both agree that suspension has its merits. I would definitely get a dropper first though. I like the best suspension you have is your arms and legs. And the, the float between your body and the bike. That's, that's my strong opinion. And from there you have pneumatic suspension from the tires you can do, you know, a slightly cushier saddle, like, you know, you can have some, some compliance in the frame. There's a whole bunch of things you do before you do a suspension seat, post primary amongst those being a dropper. [00:30:28] Craig: A hundred percent dropper. Number one, upgrade for gravel bikes, period. You'll never go. I don't know if I've ever met anybody who went back. Honestly, once they had a dropper. [00:30:37] Randall: Yeah, I mean, I occasionally talk to people, looking at our bikes who are like, oh, well, you know, can I swap in a rigid post? And I was like, well, if that's what you wanna do, get the, you know, the access wireless droppers are really expensive and they're heavy. But you could have a saddle on one of those and, and, you know, a standard post and swap it in, in and out with a single bolt. So that that's an option. [00:30:58] Craig: I've got that set up now. And I will tell, I will tell you, I will tell our friends in the community if I ever swap it. [00:31:05] Randall: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, [00:31:07] Craig: I don't think, I don't think I will, but [00:31:09] Randall: yeah. I can see on a city bike or like a burning man rig not having a dropper. That's that's about it. that's a whole, that's a whole separate conversation though. [00:31:18] Craig: I will argue with you on the city bike, but anyway, you still wanna drop her on the city bike? [00:31:22] Randall: Let's see. Luke Lopez and Larry Rose were commenting about non-competitive gravel setups, you know, alternative handlebars, flat pedals bags, and fun rides, and so on. Inspired by our friends over at pathless pedals who very much do a lot to create content around the non-competitive side of cycling. So what are your [00:31:41] Craig: Yeah. I mean, I think whether or not you set your bike up in a specific way to go out and have this non-competitive experience, or it's just a mindset. I think we're aligned in that gravel, gravel is for everyone. Right. And whatever your jam is going fast, going slow. Just getting out there is important. I mean, for me, I often change my clothing. [00:32:04] Randall: Mm-hmm [00:32:05] Craig: When I'm out there for just a fun ride, like, like I've got some, some, you know, great baggies that I can wear and different things. And it's definitely a different mindset rolling out the door. Not that I'm out there hammering on a general basis, but it's definitely a different mindset when I'm just out there to stop and smell the roses. [00:32:21] Randall: Yeah. Yeah. And I, I appreciate that mindset, but I still vastly prefer Lyra and, and being clipped in and, and, you know, and so on. [00:32:35] Craig: And I've got a, I've got a mountain bike. So like having a flat bar on a gravel bike, like I I've had that set up on an old cross bike. I loved it. Super fun, nimble, but for me, like if I'm gonna go flat bar right now, it's definitely gonna be more on a mountain bike than a, a traditional gravel bike setup. [00:32:52] Randall: But at the same time, you see, I can't recall if it was Luke, but you see folks with like an old Bridgestone mountain bike that they've converted into, you know, a flat bar or a drop bar, gravel bike. And it's, you know, they got a, you know, a handlebar bag on there and it's much more of like a let's go out and get lost and have an adventure, maybe do coffee outside or things like this party pace as you know, as Russ likes to say over. You know, PLP. [00:33:18] Craig: Yeah. If you've got a quiver by all means like, I, I love all bikes and I'm one who appreciates the nuances between them. So, you know, I just don't have a garage big enough for all these things. [00:33:28] Randall: yeah, yeah, no, I, I like I like the, I like being able in the middle of a ride to decide that I feel like throwing down a little bit. Sometimes I get that, that little jolt of energy less. Now that I'm 40, I suppose, but, but still [00:33:41] Craig: I I've seen you have those jolts Randall. I know it's there. [00:33:45] Randall: Let's see, what else? Oh, Matthew Kramer turned me on to something that I thought was really cool in the ridership, which was E 13. Now has a 12 speed, 9 45 cassette that is compatible with standard 12 speed chains. So you don't need that funky flat top chain. That's fair. Still, you know, pretty proprietary to Ram in order to run a tighter cluster. [00:34:07] Craig: So is that, is that 12 speed cassette from shrimp? Something you have to run on their product. [00:34:15] Randall: So the way that SW has set it up, they have migrated all their road. And then now they're dedicated gravel drive trains to this 12 speed flat top chain which is, you know, it, it has a slight benefit in terms of like, You, you get the same cross sectional area of the side plates with a thinner side plate so they can make the chain a little bit thinner. And that helps with the, the already very tight spacing of those cogs and like, but also makes it so that it's something proprietary. And so they've been expanding that I, I suspect that you'll see it on their mountain bike groups soon enough. And, you know, I really like to adopt, you know, proven open standards and non-pro proprietary stuff whenever possible. And the fact is that standard 12 speed works really well and nobody was making a tighter cluster for Eagle, like, you know, or for, for like, you know, a mullet set up where you have. A mountain bike rear derailer, but maybe you want a little bit tighter cluster a little bit tighter cassette for your road or your, your certain gravel applications. [00:35:17] Craig: when you talk about tighter cassette. I remember seeing this pop up and I was like 9 45. Okay. Why do I really care? Talk about the tighter cluster? Cause I think that's an important maybe nuance beyond just like, oh, you got a 45 and a nine. [00:35:30] Randall: Yeah. So the, the biggest knock that people have against one by drive trains is the jumps between cogs. Right. And yeah, I get it. A lot of this can be mitigated by proportional, crank length, and by having a proper bike fit. Because it allows you to spin at a wider range of cadences without, you know, while still maintaining a smooth pedal stroke. And I've, I've been fine with my setups. This 9 45 is it's the same as a, a 10 speed, 1138. Which is, you know, a, a larger road cassette from, from a few years ago. And it just adds a, a taller cog and a bigger cog you know, on that same cassette. And so you get, you know, jumps that I think are probably tight enough for the vast majority of roadies to say like, okay, well, if I had any concerns about jumps, now those are mitigated some. Want it to be like one tooth jumps between cogs and you know, okay. Go ride your road bike. That that's fine. But but yeah, I like, I like to see this. I was actually considering having us develop something if someone else didn't. So I'm glad to see this in the market, I think is a real gap for it. [00:36:35] Craig: Yeah, it's interesting. I wonder why, like SHA doesn't go to a nine cause you think like, I understand why smaller companies kind of pop up and they see an opportunity like this gap, but E thirteen's been doing this kind of thing for a while. [00:36:49] Randall: The nine tooth is so it it's gonna wear all else equal same material and everything it's gonna wear itself and the chain more quickly than a 10 tooth or an 11 tooth. Right. And so the, the entire philosophy of the drivetrain changes with a nine tooth in that. You know, I like to think of the nine tooth as an overdrive gear, plus the jump between the nine and the 11 is significant. Right? So if you're spending a lot of time at the top end of the range, you know, you might not love that, but for me, you pair it with a 42 chain ring and that 42 9. With a, you know, a, a 700 by 28 or 700 by 30 tire is the equivalent of, of a road bike with, you know, 51 11, which is to say, you have plenty of top end. You're not gonna spin out all the time on, on a high speed descent, but it's not all that often that I'm descending at those sorts of speeds. And so that jump from the 11 to the nine is not a problem for me on that end of the cassette. And so in turn, when you have that nine tooth that also informs the chain ring that you pair. Because you, you know, you kind of need to set your chain ring based on how you wanna calibrate that range that the cassette has. So yeah, I'm not surprised that Ram didn't go that didn't go that route. But I do think it makes a ton of sense and I love one by drive trains and I'm all about one bikes as well with one by drive trains. And so the nine two really facilitates that. [00:38:08] Craig: Yeah. Yeah. Super interesting. And Eli Bingham who often chimes in, in the ridership about some real technical stuff and tends to explore a lot of components. He had a kind of note on this didn't. [00:38:18] Randall: Yeah. So, one thing you gotta make sure, because of, and again, this gets into like proprietary standards and so on. So like the free hub, the XD XDR free hub standard that this cassette is compatible with is a proprietary standard that you know, Sam made it. So any. It's really easy for a wheel company to create a wheel with a free hub that, that uses the, you know, XD XDR. But they patented every possible way. They could think of, of attaching a cassette to that so that only they could produce the cassettes. And so E 13 has a came up with a really clever solution, but it requires like a cinch bolt. That clamps around the free hub body. And if that comes loose, it can affect the shifting. So that's kind of like the one issue that these can have. I've never had that issue with E 13 cassettes and I've run them exclusively for several years now. But it's just something to keep in mind. I find that they shift shift really excellent and they're light and they hold up well, cause they're, you know, most of the cogs or steel. [00:39:11] Craig: Right. Yeah, right on. And then I think we should end with, I think, which, which was one of my favorite questions coming out of the ridership from our friend, Silas, pat love is the pursuit of a quiet bike without creeks, an achievable goal or a pipe dream. [00:39:27] Randall: , it depends on what you're starting with. Unfortunately. I think in general I mean, this should AF absolutely be the standard. It, there's no reason why things should be rattling around. And you know, there are ways to get around it. So there, you know, wireless shifting and so on helps. But also like in our case, we run full housing through the frame and then we put it in a, we put it in a foam sleeve and we do that with. Hydraulic hoses too. And every bite company should be doing that because rattles suck bottom bracket Creek, again, like any bottom bracket will Creek if it gets contaminated. But you know, having a bottom bracket set up that aligns and supports the bearings sufficiently. You know, should eliminate the vast majority of those creeks. Yeah, it, this, this should entirely be possible. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bikes that, mm let's just say that this sort of thing was an afterthought. So it may cost, it may cost some money and require some expertise to chase out the, you know, all those creeks. [00:40:25] Craig: I think that's gotta be the worst task as a bike mechanic to be tasked with is when someone comes in and says, my, my bike is creaking. Help me resolve it. [00:40:34] Randall: Yeah. And, and honestly my experience, it it's a special mechanic. Who's who's really good at. I've had bikes that you know, our, our bikes will have a Creek here and there. And we'll say like, you know, bring it to a mechanic, have them take a look and they can't chase it. And I've actually had an instance where I had the bike shipped to me personally, and I chased it, but I chased it in a way that like, you know, it's I'm trying to remember what it was. Oh, it wasn't even a Creek. It was just that. Axis rear derailer the hanger on the was ever so slightly misaligned. And then the axis derailer was harder. When it's miscalibrated it makes a lot of noise on the cassette and that was the noise. So we're like, they were looking at the bottom bracket, they were looking at the seat post. They were looking at the, the headset interface and, and so on. And unless you have that, like the time and that deductive mindset and some experience of like, what things sound like, it's really hard to, to chase. So if you have a mechanic, who's a good chaser. That that's that's someone who really knows their stuff and [00:41:39] Craig: Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah, my, my go to, I mean, as a non methodical bad mechanic, definitely like I clean my bike when a Creek arrives and that usually, like, it's say 85% of the time solves the problem. And then if, if I need to go further, it's about. You know, greasing things, making sure, just kind of being a little more I inspect of, of what's going on. I I've generally been pretty lucky that I haven't had creeks that I weren't, that I wasn't clear on how to resolve. [00:42:10] Randall: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'd like to end with a with something that I'm excited about, which is I haven't nailed it down yet, but I had pinged you about coming out west for a bit. And so once those dates are locked down you know, getting a big group ride in the bay area and potentially in a couple other parts of the us. Something I'm super excited about and to meet some of the riders that are in the forum and that are, are regular listeners and so on. So more on that as we approach. But that would probably be Denver, Boulder, maybe San Diego, and then definitely the bay area. [00:42:40] Craig: That's super exciting. I feel like, you know, before the pandemic we had kicked off some really amazing group rides and [00:42:47] Randall: I miss it. [00:42:48] Craig: you. Yeah. And you and I have been longing for, we've had a lot going on to not kind of be putting that out there ourselves personally, but I think it's, it's a great time to do that and hopefully we can get some knocked out by the end of the year and super excited to see you when you're in the bay area. [00:43:04] Randall: Likewise. It's been too long. [00:43:06] Craig: We're good to catch up. My friend, [00:43:08] Randall: Likewise. All right, my friend. [00:43:09] Craig: take, take care. [00:43:10] Randall: See it. [00:43:11] Craig Dalton: That's going to do it for this week's edition of in the dirt. From the gravel ride pod cast How's a bit of a postscript. I did attend the adventure revival ride up in Marine county, out of Fairfax this past weekend. Quite a lovely event, benefiting Nika. The course is amazing and difficult as I imagined and remembered from the last time I did it such a great route put together by the Marine county bike coalition. Super challenging on a gravel bike. I remember thinking about halfway through. Wow. I'm about halfway through feeling quite beat up. And I was riding my unicorn with a front suspension fork on it. I certainly saw a number of riders out there on mountain bikes, which would not have been a bad choice. Anyway, phenomenal event, definitely something to have on your radar, down the line.

Special thanks to Jefferson Moore, independent filmmaker, for providing the guest intro for this repeat episode. Episode Tie-In: The film “Blonde,” which is the subject of controversy due to its NC17 rating and graphic nature, airs on Netflix on September 23. For more details on the controversy, listen to our SW update episode posted on August 30th. CW: Adult themes/descriptions of violence; listener discretion is advised. Although often stereotyped as the ‘dumb blonde' character, Marilyn Monroe was actually a complicated woman who overcame a traumatic childhood, studied acting with Lee Strasberg, co-founded her own production company, and formed relationships with a number of high-profile, powerful men.  Sadly, Marilyn's promising career was cut short in 1962 when she was found dead, nude in her bed with a telephone receiver in hand, the victim of an apparent overdose. She was only 36.  But was Marilyn's death really the result of an overdose and ‘probable suicide,' as the coroner declared at that time? Or was Marilyn intentionally silenced, as many did and still believe, including her close friend Frank Sinatra?

8 sex workers share what happened on their first day on the job.Like accountants, journalists or retail assistants, sex workers offer their services, in exchange for payment, and as with any other job, things like contentious clients, questionable bosses, and first day job jitters, are also commonplace.Writing about their initial experiences on a recent Reddit thread, various sex workers from erotic text line operators, to escorts and strippers shared their first day on the job.This is what they had to say.1. “Getting partially naked in front of strangers for the first time is very unsettling.”First day on the job stripping — I was 19 and worked in a very tiny club (used to call it my shoebox club) with a wobbly pole from Lowe's that went through a gaping hole in the ceiling.Had a panic attack in the dressing room before it was my turn to go on stage cause getting partially naked in front of strangers for the first time is very unsettling, and then came out to see people that I vaguely knew sitting by the tip rail (I used to live in a small city).I had actually biked past them on the way to get there! Proceeded to awkwardly roll around on stage and accidentally kicked an ash tray off the tip rail at them. Not my finest hour haha.2. “I got VERY lucky.”I got VERY lucky. My first ever client was an attractive, middle aged man who lived in a huge and pristine house. After all was said and done, I divulged that he was my first client. He looked me in my eyes and said ‘you shouldn't be doing this.' I only did it for about six weeks.3. “Much less than minimum wage.”I once worked for a company where I would reply to explicit text messages. First day I thought it was really funny and kinda cool, I did it from home so I would tell my partner about some of the messages I would get. It was explained to me that I would handle several ‘profiles' of women. I was sure the men knew it's a fantasy line as the manager told me it was clear on their website. But she would not tell me what the name of that site was.Anyway as time went on I realized that the Johns were texting what they thought were real women. They kept referring to it as a dating website. I kept getting general emails from my manager repeatedly to say we must always say we “liked the idea of meeting sometime” but never agree to it, and to keep saying we wanted to talk longer first to keep them replying for longer. Some of these men had been texting ‘one woman' for YEARS, when in reality that profile could be handled by 20+ women a day.Found out from one John that it was advertised as meet local singles for sex, and they had to spend £3 (AU$5.41) per message and were getting frustrated that the women never met up.Edit: Lots of people asking about pay. It was £0.15p per message (AUD 27 cents). Even going as fast as I could it was much less than minimum wage per hour as I often had to read through the message history or look up info (e.g the John might ask what the weather was like where ‘she' lived).4. “Lasted only three days.”At one point in my life when I lost my job and car I stripped (lasted only three days) and I remember my first day, technically night, like it was yesterday. I was very shy, awkward, clueless, desperate, and ashamed.I never thought I would turn to dancing (stripping). After I danced the five stages, this [doctor] asked for a private dance. We go to the very back of the building where no one can see. So I'm dancing on him and then he asks could he insert his penis in me. I freaked out!!! I said NO! And he said “okay, can I jack off while you dance, I'll give you $200”. I agreed, and a few seconds later, he jizzed in his pants…. they were khakis.I made $250 in about three minutes. I was scarred, and was only able to dance two more nights before I realized I just couldn't do it anymore.5. “Sex work saved me.”So, I started off doing erotic massage back when I was basically homeless and just couch surfing…, working any odd jobs I could find. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was living off stale food left forgotten in random peoples fridges, so I went for it.I posted an ad on a website with a friend and within a few hours got an inquiry. I didn't screen or take any precautions because I didn't know any better, and in retrospect I was INCREDIBLY lucky. I was so nervous. I got all dressed up in the only halfway decent thing I owned.I went to his hotel and when he opened the door my mouth nearly fell open. He was so fucking handsome and I was floored. He was a 30 something businessman from Iceland. He was absolutely delightful. He was charming, intelligent, immaculate, and funny. I had an amazing hour with him and walking away with what I normally could make in a week working my ass off at a shit cafe getting abused by rich customers who were fine with spending $7 on a latte but not tipping a single cent. The 180° change in my job status was shocking.After that I started posting ads every day and was able to get an apartment and go back to school. I'm now at a great university and my life is wonderful. It's been over five years and I've never been more grateful for anything in my life. Sex work saved me.6. “He made it easy.”I was very nervous. No one in my life knew I was going to work as a sex worker. The madam at the brothel knew it was my first time but she gave me very little useable advice. An older experienced SW told me what I needed to know to get through my first client.My first client was a young man, he treated me well and the sex was vanilla. It wasn't scary or anything. He made it easy. I think I had a few clients that night, I can't remember.Edit: The advice she gave me was about not telling the clients that it was my first time or that I was new in the industry. She said that the clients would immediately try to take advantage of that. She told me how to use lube to fake enjoyment, and that when I got my period I could still work I'd just need to wet a small sponge and use it as a tampon. She let me know the brothels that where the girls were so competitive that they'd sabotage your jobs, spread shut about you and cut the straps on your shoes. And most importantly she told me that even on your worst night the money would make it worth it.7. “My coworker had to show me how to give a lap dance.”I'm a dancer, my first day was kind of awkward but I think I got the hang of it quickly. I was interested in pole tricks before I started the job so I was pretty good at those already, but had no idea what to do for the actual dancing part.My coworker had to show me how to give a lap dance lol. Talking to customers was also nerve-racking but I quickly learned to just ask questions and they would spend the rest of the conversation talking about themselves. It got easier once I developed a fun, confident persona that was separate from my actual everyday self (I usually have a lot of anxiety and body image issues).I also learned some very effective ways to shut down creeps.8. “My feet absolutely killed me.”My first day stripping was terrifying. I wore off brand stripper shoes so my feet absolutely killed me. I was scared out of my mind to talk to people I was a nervous wreck. Luckily the girls at the club were nice and helped me figure out what to do.I'm still stripping a year later and it's pretty much second nature now I love it and I'm pretty good. I also do porn now and my first day doing that was addicting! I loved it I had so much fun it made me feel invincible.Almost forgot to mention I've gotten to meet so many amazing people. All my close friends now are girls I met at the club. Everyone at the club is like a weird, f*cked up family.

Akira (@akirathahun) is a 28 year old lesbian SWer of British-filipina heritage. She got her start in SW 11 years ago in the height of the era of personal Craigslist ads with her ex girlfriend. Akira is also 7 years clean from her0in and recently thoughtfully re-entered SW as a dr*g abstaining individual. (TRIGGER WARNING for this episode: we will be discussing dr*g use and survival SW. ) This episode we sit down with Akira and cover a ton of topics: her entrance into SW; her dr*g addiction and her recovery journey; her experience doing FSSW; her decision to re-enter into SW; and how it is for her being a lesbian doing “straight” SW. Akira is extremely vulnerable and honest in this episode and we found her story and journey so inspiring! Thank you for listening! Have a wonderful week and happy wh0re-ing!

Check it out below: [00:00:00] Chuck Swope: if you want to purchase a warehouse in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where we do a lot of our work suburban Philadelphia and we're all throughout the Mid-Atlantic region New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania but anywhere in that region it's very hard to find flex space, 5, 10, 20 5,000, 50,000 feet. It just doesn't exist. [00:00:31] Sam Wilson: Chuck Swope is a commercial real estate broker who focuses on the Mid-Atlantic region. Chuck, welcome to the.  [00:00:37] Chuck Swope: Thanks so much. Thanks for having me, Sam. Hey  [00:00:39] Sam Wilson: man. The pleasure's mine, there are three questions. I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get  [00:00:46] Chuck Swope: there? Sure. I like most people I got into real estate and commercial real estate by accident. I was in graduate school and had worked for a couple of developers. Doing commercial development also residential land acquisition in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia suburbs had an opportunity to get my real estate license. And my first assignment was selling industrial condominiums. That was going on 18 years ago. Give or take. Where am I now I think that was your next question. That's right. Sure. I I worked for a gentleman who I continue to have an immense amount of respect for and after about three and a half, four years, I said, I'm still pretty young. And I'd like to go out and do this on my own. And in 2009, when things were just rosy, as you recall, I took the big plunge and we're still here to talk. Whatever this is 13 or so years later,  [00:01:34] Sam Wilson: 2009, that's a heck of a time to take the plunge into  [00:01:38] Chuck Swope: I didn't have children. I didn't have a whole lot of responsibilities. So, coming outta the great recession, why not?  [00:01:44] Sam Wilson: Right. Take your risks early, man. Yeah. When the consequences are few, , I love that. How have you seen things change? Like have you thought about 2009 market, 2022 market? How are things different  [00:01:57] Chuck Swope: now? Sure. Well, I got into the business in 2005 and again, I had a period of time where I worked in another office 2009, I guess. I really didn't know what, I didn't know. One of the greatest investments I've made in myself is the C cm designation and the education that the CCM Institute offers that immediately catapulted me into a much better broker and a much better resource for my clients. I can't advocate that program enough. Things have absolutely changed the the pricing. I mean, I can't believe I'm even saying this, having, just shy of 20 years in the business. I mean, I've seen values, double flex and industrial buildings that we used to sell for 60, 70, 80 bucks. A foot are now trading $150 a foot. That was one of the things we had talked about early on is just kind of the appreciation that we've seen over the last couple of years, especially in industrial and flex. What else has changed? Technology's obviously changed. We've implemented a lot of technology and advancements, in our small boutique brokerage. We're about a half a dozen folks here. Not a big shop by any means, but we really embrace and invest and look for technology to, to make the client experience better and to make us better brokers. So the technology and ability to work pretty much anywhere and ability to gather information is huge. And we love it. And we're gonna continue to look for new and better and different ways to do things. When you  [00:03:13] Sam Wilson: say technology. Yeah. Remote work. I get that part of it. But when you say gather information, like what information are you guys gathering right now that you feel like maybe you didn't have access to previously? And then how are you leveraging that to make informed decisions?  [00:03:27] Chuck Swope: Sure. Obviously co-star is kind of a thousand pound gorilla in the in the industry. It's kind of a love, hate relationship with them. But they do a good job. They're not shy about their prices. Maybe even unfair. But CoStar has a ton of resources. Even just from a marketing standpoint and kind of the infrastructure we used to run our office. We've made some in updates and investments there. What we used to outsource in terms of marketing brochures and flyers, and all types of offering memorandum and those types of things we're able to within minutes assemble that in our office change things updated. There's a lot more integration on the marketing. side We've got a couple other resources that we really rely on depending on the assignment Remy has been a great resource for us as well. Even just, the advancement in with something as simple as your cell phone. The pictures, I think are second to none. We do hire third party professional photographers, but a lot of times we can just . Grab 'em on our phone and they're Pretty darn good.  [00:04:18] Sam Wilson: That's. That's exactly right. I was talking to somebody about that the other day. And again, all the photographers and people in that industry are probably gonna, delete my show and say, no, you're absolutely wrong. Which, I love what they do, but I was talking, my wife was like, this is. This is a, I mean, your phone takes amazing photos, like for  [00:04:32] Chuck Swope: something that's quick and dirty and kind of routine. Now. Now, like I said, we do outsource things. Yeah. But kind of the day to day is for what we do is perfectly acceptable to use your phone for sure. And I also through the pandemic had really shifted and embraced more of an online presence and I've got, I don't know, maybe 50 or a hundred LinkedIn videos out there. I'm constantly adding. And the technology that you carry around in your pocket, enables you to take a video, upload it to LinkedIn and really make an impact. And sure enough, when I put a video out the phone rings for the next couple days, I call it dumb luck or whatever, but it's and I've been told I have a face for radio. Just little kind of little tweaks like that. Just embrace technology. Technology's a mixed blessing. It's not everything right. But it certainly does enhance certain areas of the business without a doubt.  [00:05:18] Sam Wilson: Yep. Absolutely true. I love that. Thanks for giving some very tangible products and things that you  [00:05:22] Chuck Swope: guys are doing. One, one other thing I want to highlight for those of you who do use the iPhone. And I know it's kind of two different cultures, iPhone, and I guess Android. Yeah, I'm not I'm and by the way, I'm not much of a tech guy. If you go into the notes section of your iPhone, there is a part of that application that allows you to scan full size plans. I can't tell you how many times I've been in, in a building. Somebody says I have these plans, they're 30 years old and I will never let 'em out on my possession. I said, do you mind if I just roll 'em out, we're gonna put 'em right here on the floor, put a stapler, on either end to hold it. And you can take a scan of a full size plan, 24 by 36. I had no idea it's in the notes section of your if you use an iPhone, if you go into notes, that's a huge little tip. Just go to a new document and then take the picture and you can do scan documents. You can get pretty darn good quality without ever taking that, that hard copy out of that building.  [00:06:17] Sam Wilson: That's cool. There you go. That's an active tip and trick right there. Folks. I, had  [00:06:20] Chuck Swope: not heard that you can do that today. You can do that today.  [00:06:23] Sam Wilson: That is very cool. Let's transition here. Chuck, I got questions about where you see, I mean, you guys are active brokers in the MidAtlantic region. Tell me, where do you see opportunity and then where do you see risks in the market  [00:06:35] Chuck Swope: right now? Risks. I think in certain segments in certain sectors the prices are definitely getting frosty. That being said if you want to purchase a warehouse in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where we do a lot of our work suburban Philadelphia and we're all throughout the Mid-Atlantic region New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania but anywhere in that region it's very hard to find flex space, 5, 10, 20 5,000, 50,000 feet. It just doesn't exist. And the cost to create that is high and therefore the price to purchase a building like that, or even the price to lease it is on the high side. I think at some point there's gonna be a correction. I have no idea when but prices are up and that's just the reality of the market we're in right now. For somebody with a five plus year horizon who's going to consider purchasing a building. I don't know that matters a whole lot that interest rates have gone up, but they're still relatively low. I'm not old enough to remember, the 18 and 20% rates of the early eighties. I was alive then, but I was. In the business. But the, when I remember six, seven, 8% interest rates, not that long ago, and that was sustain. Yeah,  [00:07:41] Sam Wilson: well, that's really interesting.  [00:07:42] Chuck Swope: So, so I think just to kind of close that thought, I think that, real estate is a tool and it's a vehicle for somebody to conduct business, whether they're at a professional services, accounting law firm, doctor's office, or whether they're warehousing product it's one piece and it's a vehicle to conduct that business. And, I think it's important that. Occupy and utilizer that real estate, looks at it in a bigger picture. Yes. Prices are up, interest rates are up, but you need someplace to run your business.  [00:08:07] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. And there's that question out there is, do prices ever go back down or normalize maybe at, I think at best maybe normalizes what we get  [00:08:16] Chuck Swope: we've printed. I think you're gonna see some softening. I don't think you're gonna see the bottom fall out. I just fundamentally don't think that's something that's gonna. Right.  [00:08:25] Sam Wilson: Right. and I don't see how it could, I mean, we've printed so much money that, I mean, it's gonna chase yield and it's in the system at this point and it's like the money's gotta go somewhere. It's the likelihood that those prices go back down, I think is limited. Tell me this, we talked about this a little bit off off air before we kicked off this show. What is an asset class you see, picking up right now and why?  [00:08:47] Chuck Swope: We have interestingly and we're, we're a small boutique firm but we've seen some office deals. I don't wanna say I was surprise to see them happen, but we're definitely seeing life in the office market without a doubt. I think work from home is convenient. I think work from home has a place. But it's also very difficult to bring bring on a new associate, to build a culture, to build a team around work from home. It's certainly convenient for us. Being a couple hundred miles apart to have this zoom call. Right. But I wouldn't wanna work like this every single day. Right. Right. So, so I would say if anything I think office is proving to be interesting.  [00:09:20] Sam Wilson: Is there opportunities to buy there at a discount right now? [00:09:25] Chuck Swope: It all depends on which what size and sector and the motivation of the owner and or landlord or seller yes. There's opportunities, but they would. In, at least in my experience it's maybe not as ripe as you would think. Because there is a market there and there is activity and there is demand. Yeah. Yeah.  [00:09:42] Sam Wilson: No, you hit it on the head there. You said it's not as ripe as I might think. I'm not in the office sector or office space, but it's something where I would've. Thought that there might be some really low hanging fruit there. And you're saying that's maybe  [00:09:52] Chuck Swope: necessary, not the case, at least where we are. I would say there's opportunities there to lease or purchase office space. And I would still say that's, either the buyer or the tenants market. But that's slowly shifting. And there's just not a lot of new supply coming online and the supply that's out there has been picked over and you've got some well healed landlords that, expect to get a reasonable return and they're in a position. They can wait for that.  [00:10:14] Sam Wilson: What are you recommending? I know this is asset class. I'd probably borrow or specific question. So maybe it's an unfair one, but what are you recommending on the debt side of things? What do you see people doing? And then what do you guess recommended to your  [00:10:26] Chuck Swope: clients? So we do a tremendous amount of owner occupied real estate.  We, we do investment real estate as well, but we also work with a lot of owner occupy. I think anybody who occupies real estate should consider owning it. I'm not saying everybody should own it, but anybody who occupies real estate for their place of business should consider owning it. One of the biggest tools that we push as a company or advocate for, I shouldn't say push, but, bring that awareness to the table is the SBA loan program. Everybody hears SBA and they think government and a bunch of bureaucracy and red tape. And I'm not gonna say there's not any. However we do, I don't know how many, a couple dozen SBA loans a year through our office and the process is not that much worse than conventional bank financing. There's two big things. In my opinion, the SBA offers to borrowers and that is 90% loan to value. And that includes the real estate, the improvements, fixtures, kind of everything in one. So you're coming outta pocket less. You're keeping that money on your balance sheet. I think most cases, a responsible thing for a business owner to look at. The other thing is that the SBA loans are fixed for 25 years. Unfortunately the ship has sailed on the really great deals that they were having, but back during COVID and after COVID. You were getting fixed money for 25 years, three, three and a half percent, three in change. Now, keep in mind that SBA piece is a portion of that 90%. It's of the 90% your bank will do 50% and the SBA will be 40. So, but roughly half of our little less than half of that loan is fixed for 25 years, which is a gift. Right.  [00:12:04] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And is there a particular size of bank? I know I've I've dealt with this a little bit where the project size was either too big for the bank that I was talking to, or that maybe somebody else was talking to where they said, man, we could use the yes, but they just didn't understand. I guess the nuance,  [00:12:21] Chuck Swope: My father was a community banker here in Chester county and I just have a special place in my heart for community and regional banks. We work with the big banks. They certainly have their time in their place, but I would always encourage someone to speak with a local community bank as well. [00:12:35] Sam Wilson: Yeah, no, that's absolutely true. What about timing on the SBA loans? I've heard that they take longer to get across the finish line through an SBA loan. Is  [00:12:44] Chuck Swope: that not true? Not necessarily. Okay. It is important to understand that they are for intended for owner occupied real estate. So it's not investment real estate owner occupied, broadly defined by the SBAs occupying 51% of the building or more  the timing and the process is not much different. There's a couple extra steps I would say for kind of that much more work. You're getting that much more benefit. Right. Especially on the leverage and the term of the loan. So that's something the SBA has two primary commercial real estate loans. The 5 0 4 is more or less the flagship, the SBA 5 0 4. And then the seven a is also another real estate loan program that they have. But it's not anything more than what you would have to provide for a typical lender. Right,  [00:13:25] Sam Wilson: right. No, that's cool. I'm glad to dispel that myth. The gosh it's been for me the last time I used an SBA loan. Ooh. 15 years ago. So it's  [00:13:32] Chuck Swope: been a long time since so you wanna get familiar with the SBA lenders in your area and have these conversations front and, you want to air your concerns up front as well. Right,  [00:13:42] Sam Wilson: right. No, that's really that's. That's great. Absolutely great advice. We've talked a little bit about office picking up, we've talked about flex industrial. We've talked a little bit about risk. We've talked something some about financing and programs that are out there that maybe everybody's not utilizing, I guess. Is there anything else you see in the market or risks you see in the market or opportunities?  [00:14:00] Chuck Swope: Just, yeah, just one thing I wanna touch on. Yeah. And, rates of in, in this market, they've gone from you. Four and a quarter four and a half up to, five and a half, 5, 7, 5. Right. And some people have a very strong reaction to that, but I just wanna provide some context and some perspective if the deal was so tight that it doesn't work with a point difference or a point and change. If you can't make the deal work at 5.5%. But it works at four and a half percent. That was never a good deal to begin with. Right. It's just too tight. If you can't afford your mortgage or you can't make your numbers working as an investor. And you've got that, increase in interest rates, it was a deal that, that never should have happened in the first place. Yeah, , let's keep perspective and keep context. That's  [00:14:47] Sam Wilson: a great point. I like that a lot. I like that a lot because yeah, people are panicking. You hear like, oh my gosh, like we can't make this work. Or like you said, that's the deal was never a good deal in the  [00:14:57] Chuck Swope: first. It wasn't a good deal to begin with. [00:14:59] Sam Wilson: Right? Yeah. Yeah. And that's keep that. Yeah. That's keeping people probably out of trouble.  [00:15:03] Chuck Swope: So that's yeah. And that's fine. People shouldn't do deals that aren't good deals. Right, right. But if you're so light on your equity in the deal or. That change, in the mortgage payment makes that meaningful of a difference. It was never a good deal to begin with, in my opinion,  [00:15:18] Sam Wilson: if you were to give advice. Yeah. And I couldn't agree with you more last question here for you. If you were to give advice to someone who was just now scaling into commercial real estate, and they said, man, I'm really anxious to get it. Get in. What advice would you give them out of the gate  [00:15:34] Chuck Swope: as a broker or as an investor or as investor? I'll put myself out of business with this advice, but I would go take a couple CCIM classes. If I was a new investor, , you can start with the intro, which is two days or go through all four courses. The 1 0 1 is the flagship, but I would go sign up for cm class, do it online or in person, or I think there's hybrids as well. That's what I would do if I was giving advice.  [00:15:58] Sam Wilson: Wow. What would someone expect to benefit or get out of going through those classes?  [00:16:04] Chuck Swope: So I don't have a background in finance or I should say I came into the industry without a background in finance. I have a bachelor's degree and a master's in environmental studies. And I understood numbers. I understood mortgage payments and things like that. But the CCM program will allow you to take deals apart from front to back, back to front change all types of different variables and, manipulate your projections based on, more equity,  to me, it really just allows you to understand every single variable in the deal. That's  [00:16:31] Sam Wilson: really cool. That's not advice I've received yet here on the show. Certainly appreciate that.  [00:16:35] Chuck Swope: And if you don't have your C M Sam, I want you to go out and sign up today. I don't,  [00:16:40] Sam Wilson: I actually don't. I need to, I need to heed what you're telling me and go get that. Go get the  [00:16:44] Chuck Swope: education. The education is second to none. It's cheap. They should charge more for the courses. Right.  [00:16:50] Sam Wilson: right. That's awesome. I love that. Thanks for that. That that pointer there, that's something, actually, I was writing it down like, okay. One on one class CCIM. Doesn't just  [00:16:57] Chuck Swope: do, just start with the intro. It's two days. I don't know how they do it now, but when I took it, 15 years ago, it was two days. It's probably I do it online. You probably do it online. You can do it. Yeah, but how do you know if a deal's a good deal or not? Well, back up from there? It depends on the investor's objectives, right? But if somebody says I want cash on cash, or I want IRR, or I want, whatever it is that they want, I want to complete this exchange and then refinance in the future. It allows you to, to slice and dice all those different variables. That's awesome. I love that. I love that efficiently.  [00:17:31] Sam Wilson: That's yeah, there's the key point there's slice and dice them efficiently. Chuck certainly enjoyed having you on the show today. Thank you for coming on and just, yeah. Give us your thoughts on the market where op or opportunities are where risks are. We talked about the CCIM designation and going through the 1 0 1 class. You even taught us how to scan scan prints and things like that right there, right here, right there from your iPhone. So that's fantastic. Certainly appreciate it. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you, learn more about you or see what what you guys have in the pipeline. What is the best way  [00:17:58] Chuck Swope: to do that?
