Founders Series: Josh Poertner, Silca (One of Cyclings Oldest Brands)
From a diverse background, including motorsport, Josh is best known for his work at Zipp where he worked a long time and had his hands and mind on many projects including but not limited to the Firecrest wheel. He has worked with such cobbled classic luminaries as Fabian Cancellara and Peter Sagan on Paris Roubaix victories.
We get into Silca’s tools and why Josh decided to buy the company and get into some of the engineering behind bike racing.
“You know, a bike ride is a great place to, you know, come up with an idea, right, I think, you know, generally, I think your brain is putting the pieces together for your best work when you're not trying to do your best work”
- Joshua Poertner
