Robert Chung on using the ingredients available for homemade aero testing

In this episode of Performance Process, Ronan Mc Laughlin and Caley Fretz discuss some updates planned for the podcast.

Then Ronan sits down with Robert Chung, the creator of the Chung Method, a revolutionary way to aero test without a wind tunnel. They explore how this virtual elevation method has made aero testing more accessible, allowing cyclists to optimise their setups using real-world data.

Robert breaks down the math, principles, and practical applications of the method, including its surprising role in the shift toward wider tyres and lower pressures. The conversation covers common mistakes in aero testing, how to refine your testing protocol, and why real-world conditions often beat lab data. This episode is packed with insights on how to start and then fine-tune your testing.
