In this week's episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Simon von Bromley laments Cannondale's decision to update the SuperSix EVO, rather than the SystemSix – a bike that's close to his heart. As ever, Simon is joined by faithful companion, Jack Luke, with the pair discussing Komoot's curious introduction of a ChatGPT-powered route creator. They then move onto last week's most read story on BikeRadar – a look into the challenges Basso faces as a bike brand manufacturing in Europe. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vi sveper igenom det viktigaste som hänt i cykelvärlden innan vi vänder fokuset mot det forna storlaget som nu genomgår lite av en transformation. Kan INEOS komma upp i Team Skys forna glans? Daniel har äntligen fått fria händer och dundrar på med ett prylsvep som inte bara innehåller nya tyska aerohojar och smarta brillor från Oakley och Meta utan även lite rykten om färsk aluminium från Cannondale!

El pasado 2 de enero fallecía Joe Montgomery, fundador de Cannondale, a los 86 años. Por eso nos hemos reunido para grabar este podcast recordando su figura, la importancia que ha tenido en la industria y en el desarrollo de un deporte como el MTB y la impronta que ha dejado en una marca como Cannondale que siempre se ha caracterizado por apostar al máximo por la innovación y no dejar a nadie indiferente. En gran parte responsable de la entrada del aluminio como material para la fabricación de cuadros de bicicleta, su primer producto fue un carro, el “The Bugger” que permitía llevar carga en prácticamente cualquier bicicleta. Ya que al hecho de apostar por materiales ligeros y resistentes se unía el hecho de contar con un anclaje a la tija que lo hacía, prácticamente, universal. En este podcast con José Crespillo, nuestro hombre #ClassicMTB y el más indicado para guiarnos en este viaje por la historia de la marca y de su fundador, recordamos los grandes aportes que hizo Cannondale a la industria del ciclismo, su importancia en el desarrollo de un nuevo deporte como fue el MTB en los años 80, de su particular forma de entender la industria y la producción (hay que recordar que, siendo responsables de llevar a la producción en masa algunas de las mejores innovaciones, Cannondale mantuvo su producción en USA hasta el año 2009). Repasamos algunos de los modelos icónicos que ha tenido la marca (la Cannondale Raven, la F2000), sus innovaciones como las horquillas Headshock y posteriormente la Lefty, los componentes Coda... y también de las grandes estrategias de marketing y patrocinio como el famoso equipo Volvo Cannodale o el Saeco del “Legalize my Cannondale) y de los fracasos que llevaron a la empresa a la bancarrota como el proyecto de la motocross Cannondale MX400. Un pequeño homenaje a un hombre que entendió la pasión que despierta este deporte y que ha logrado que la marca lo mantenga a lo largo de todos estos años.

In this week's episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Jack Luke is joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the week's biggest tech stories in cycling. First up is the news that Cannondale's CAAD14 has leaked. The highly anticipated aluminium road bike looks like it might be about to launch imminently, and we've got all the details you need to know. Following this, Jack and Simon discuss BBB's intriguing new CoreCap Presta valve adaptors, and the news that Rose bikes has re-entered the UK market. This week's rant of the week sees Simon bemoan the proliferation of subscription services in cycling and general life. Hardly an original thought, but he does have some concerns about where all this might be heading. Finally, we finish on our top story from the Christmas period – a piece by freelance writer, Charlie Allenby, about whether an enormous VO2 Max is enough to be a pro cyclist.

If you have logged onto LinkedIn anytime in the last year, chances are you already know Juansi Vivo. Juansi has become one of the most candid—and provocative—voices in our feed, posting daily critiques that challenge how we do business.Before he was a digital thought leader, Juansi was a project manager in Spanish academia with a secure job for life. In this episode, we talk about the personal tragedy that forced him to quit that safety net and dive headfirst into the cycling world—working with major players like Cannondale, BMC, and Orbea.We discuss why he believes the industry is currently "inbreeding"—talking only to itself—and we break down his central argument: that we are leaving money on the table by ignoring 95% of the population. He calls them "Los Ignorados"—the ignored ones.Read the latest 'The Business of Cycling' BlogSign up for 'The Business of Cycling' Newsletter
Today, we're kicking off a new series for Bikes and Big Ideas: we're setting out to identify the best bikes of the 21st century from over 30 brands. We've done a similar series over on our Gear:30 podcast for skis, but that was easy compared to doing the same for bikes.Over the next couple of weeks, you'll be hearing about our choices. We're also including a survey, as we want to hear from you. Additionally, we'll be sending the same survey to some bike industry luminaries, too.Once we've reviewed an array of brands, we'll discuss how our selections align with your answers.And for our grand finale of this series, we're going to offer our choices for the Very Best Bikes of the Century. It may seem like an impossible task, but we're hoping we can agree on a top 10, maybe even a top 3, and if the stars align, one single bike. Or, we may never speak to each other again, but we're willing to take that risk.Part 1 kicks off with Simon Stewart, David Golay, Dylan Wood, and Xan Marshland.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover or a guest you'd like us to have on Bikes and Big Ideas.

We dive into his thoughts on the 2025 Downhill World Cup season, and some of the exciting young riders coming through the ranks right now. Josh opens up about his changing relationship with his nickname Ratboy, and what it's like riding alongside his son. We also talk about how becoming a dad has shifted his perspective on influence and legacy in the sport. Plus, we dig into the story behind his Bolly Skyline race event, what really motivated him during his race career, and his experiences at Hardline Wales and Maydena this year.

Esta semana el “salseo” de la industria ha estado protagonizado por la incertidumbre alrededor de la próxima edición de Eurobike, una feria que nos gusta y que consideramos necesaria, aunque también necesita una revisión. El no acuerdo protagonizado por ZIV - Die Fahrradindustrie y Zukunft Fahrrad, dos de los socios más importantes, y los organizadores de la feria han puesto en peligro su próxima edición. Analizamos el formato feria, la importancia de un evento del calado de Eurobike (aunque no se celebre en el mejor sitio posible ¿o sí?) y todo lo que gira entorno a la que ha sido la feria más importante del sector en los últimos ¿20 años? En cuanto a las novedades de producto, hemos tenido algunas muy interesantes, sobre todo en las e-bikes urbanas (quizá algo más que urbanas) como la nueva BH Atom+ NX o la Cannondale FlyingV. También una e-bike que nos resulta muy interesante por concepto, la Focus Jarifa2, una e-MTB hardtail con horquilla de suspensión de 120 mm y un cuadro de aluminio con muchas roscas y detalles. En cuanto a los componentes, también hemos tenido noticias, ya que Campagnolo ha presentado un nuevo grupo, el Super Record X, un 1x13 electrónico para gravel; y Avinox ha dado el salto a los accesorios con su primer sistema de luces. Este episodio de La Semana ha estado patrocinado por las nuevas gafas Spiuk Nauka. Unas gafas pensadas para los que no se bajan de la bici: cómodas, con buen rollo y perfectas para tus rutas gravel, trayectos por ciudad o para cuando toca compartir anécdotas con los amigos. Ligeras, con lentes de protección UV400 y disponibles en dos colores. Échales un ojo en la página web de Spiuk.

Episode SummaryIn this honest and entertaining episode, the hosts tackle what happens when cycling takes a backseat to other life priorities. Aaron has fully embraced his golf obsession while dealing with some health challenges, while Devin shows off his new corporate Cannondale cargo e-bike and continues marathon training.Despite the lack of actual cycling talk, they manage a solid Tour de France recap covering Pogačar's fourth victory and the ongoing rivalry with Vingegaard. Family life features prominently with discussions about Trail Kids camp, North Country vacations, and the universal parenting struggle of sleep regression battles.What happens when a cycling dad chooses golf over bikes?Join Aaron and Devin for their most candid episode yet, covering everything from corporate cargo bikes to parenting victories and failures. Aaron explains his complete cycling hiatus and newfound golf addiction, while Devin tries to convince him that 20 minutes on Zwift isn't too much to ask.In this episode:Devin's corporate "land yacht" cargo e-bike adventuresTour de France recap: Pogačar's dominance and bike tech updatesThe great golf vs. cycling debate (golf is currently winning)Family vacation stories from Minnesota's North CountryHealth reminders for busy dadsSleep regression battles and parenting real talkPerfect for: Dads juggling priorities, cycling enthusiasts, parents in the trenches, and anyone who enjoys honest conversations about balancing hobbies, health, and family life."You got to take care of yourself first before you're able to take care of others."Connect with the Cycling Dads:Follow for more dad truths, cycling content, and the occasional golf roastSponsors:ReMax Results (Devin's company and studio sponsor)Trail Kids Program (making work camps fun since... recently)
Today's show takes a deep dive into two new bikes at opposite ends of all the spectrums: State's no-fuss 4130 All-Road sells for under $1,000 USD, and Cannondale's Topstone Lefty Gravel bike that employs a single-sided suspension fork and 30mm of rear-wheel-travel via a clever system combining built-in frame flex with a single pivot. Alvin, Josh, and Levy also dissect Zwift's new outdoor ride-tracking feature that may (or may not) eventually challenge Strava as many people's go-to app, and Alvin reports back on how using shorter cranks for the last five months has propelled him to new heights and watts... or maybe not?
This week we've got wireless shifting on our minds. Campagnolo's new 13-speed wireless continues to be seen out in the wild, now at the Giro d'Italia. Dave has had his hands on WheelTop's latest wireless mountain bike derailleur and shifter. And SRAM has an option to upgrade its new mechanical T70/T90 system to wireless, and nope, we're not joking.Additionally, Ronan is feeling misunderstood. We warn about using modern Ai-type tech in your repair endeavours. And of course, there's plenty more.As always, Escape Collective members will hear our popular Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) and Dave Rome answer member-submitted questions related to fixing tubeless punctures in road tyres, the complications of Cannondale's Ai asymmetry, and we provide some thoughts on the best tyre setups for amateur racing across multiple disciplines.

New Tech Alert: A speedy all-road bike with all the tire clearance, an unreleased (and still embargoed) gravel bike, and a clever gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss make this a gear-focused show. Senior Tech Editor Alvin Holbrook chats with Levy about riding Cannondale's completely redesigned Synapse that offers massive tire clearance, a best-in-class storage box, and integrated lighting that (might) finally make sense. Further, he explains how one battery powers all of it and the AXS derailleur. The price? $16,499. He's also spent some time on a new gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss that features integrated brake hose routing and aero-ish shaping, and even got to use one while racing a very wet Traka 100 in Spain just a few days ago.

How is it that a product can be raced by a professional, in a professional event, and that the media aren't allowed to tell all? It's become a surprisingly common occurrence, and in this episode, you'll hear Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome explain how it all works.You'll also hear about Campagnolo's latest spotted new drivetrain, and why it likely spells a wider change to 13-speed. Also, Ronan and Dave discuss the new Cannondale Synapse and its rather confusing overlap with other bikes in Cannondale's range. The conversation then moves to cover other new products and industry news.Finally, Escape Collective members will hear our popular Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Ronan and Dave answer member-submitted questions related to their favourite Co2 inflator heads (and preferred alternatives), an update to the Classified two-speed hub system, and calibrating power meters.

Cannondale has launched a new Synapse endurance bike, with 42mm tyre clearance, an aero-influenced frame, down tube storage and a reimagined SmartSense system that's, well, much smarter than before. It's a bike that, on paper, represents the evolution of the latest endurances bike – a category that's in rude health. In this podcast, George Scott quizzes Warren Rossiter on the new Synapse, and the essential features of an endurance bike in 2025.

Yesterday, we shared the first part of Isaac Seidel's story, providing insight into his life and the events leading up to his disappearance. You learned that Isaac vanished along with his bike, phone, and backpack, leaving behind everything else at his home. Isaac hadn't mentioned to anyone that he had plans to go anywhere. In fact, it appeared that Isaac was simply going about his usual Sunday routine. He had chicken thawing, something he regularly did to prep meals for the week. It seemed he set out for a bike ride, intending to return in time for dinner. But something happened to Isaac, and several years later, his whereabouts remain unknown.If you have any information about Isaac Seidel's disappearance, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (717) 567-3110. Isaac's dark green Cannondale bicycle is also missing.Megan has a social media page for Isaac to help spread awareness. You can follow her over on Facebook at Find Isaac Seidel.

Isaac Seidel, a 36-year-old man from Blain, Pennsylvania, disappeared on September 12, 2021. His loved ones grew concerned when Isaac missed several days of work, prompting them to visit his home. There, they discovered a chilling scene: Isaac, who lived alone, was gone, but his bicycle, backpack, and phone were missing. Everything else seemed untouched, including chicken thawing in the sink, suggesting he had planned to return home to cook dinner.Initially, Isaac's family feared he might have suffered a tragic accident, and they began combing the roads near his home, searching ditches and ravines, but found no trace of him. Now, several years later, they continue to search for answers, holding onto hope that they will uncover the truth behind his disappearance.If you have any information regarding Isaac Seidel's whereabouts, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (717) 567-3110. Isaac was last seen with his dark green Cannondale bicycle.You can follow Isaac's case on social media at Find Isaac Seidel.

It's great to be back with another episode! It's been quite the recovery journey, so in this episode, we'll discuss everything I've been doing, how it has helped, and why Everwell MD in Newport has been a huge resource in getting me back on track after surgery. (Shout out to Mark!) I dive deep into BPC 157 and TB 500, and we also have a good bike talk since cycling is the only form of cardio I can currently do without putting too much strain on my knees. We'll cover recovery, peptides, fitness, and a little motivation to kickstart your day.

We are all excited to watch our pod guest, USA Olympian, Kristen Faulkner compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Road Race. Reposting this convo. When Kristen Faulkner moved to New York City to pursue her career in finance and venture capital, she thought getting into the sport of triathlon would be a fun athletic activity. She already loved running and swimming and was on the varsity teams in high school. She was also on the varsity rowing team while studying at Harvard. Clearly athletics was in her DNA. Cycling however was her weakest link, so she joined a local cycling organization here in New York City to improve her technique and confidence on the bike. Kristen is now on Team EF-Oatly-Cannondale as of 2024. Kristen and I sync up about what it was like growing up in Homer, Alaska, moving to NYC, then California, and now living in Girona, Spain. We talk about she loves about cycling, how she went from recreational cyclist and a career in venture capital and finance to becoming a professional cyclist. We discuss our mutual love of Zwift and how she got in to E-racing, she talks about her love of gravel cycling and I get the scoop on what she reading and watching when shes not on her bike! Kristen and I caught up before the official teams were announced for the the tour and she was about to compete in the Tour de Suisse, where she came in second overall final. Some other 2022 race stats include two stage wins at Giro Donne and third overall at Itzulia Womens Stage Race.

Lawson Craddock grew up in the flatland of Houston but fought his way onto the WorldTour feeder team Trek-Livestrong when he was still a teenager. After turning pro three years later, he raced for Giant-Shimano, Cannondale, and his current team, Jayco–AlUla. In his 10 years in the WorldTour, he's taken podiums at the Vuelta, won the Time Trial National Championships in back-to-back years, and had a standout performance at the 2018 Tour de France, but not for the usual reasons.Lawson caught up with Payson in Spain last week to reminisce about racing together in Texas as teenagers and his subsequent move to Europe and into the WorldTour. He talks about how getting pulled from the Vuelta in his first year in the pro peloton gave him extra fuel for a triumphant return the next year, and how a relentless training plan mandated by his team nearly derailed his momentum. He also details his viral performance at the 2018 Tour de France. After fracturing his scapula in the first stage, he went on the complete every remaining stage and raise $380k for his hometown velodrome in Houston which was damaged by Hurricane Harvey. Now in his early 30s and raising a young family, Lawson talks about whether he plans to move back home to Texas and whether he finally intends to fulfill his childhood dream of joining the family roofing business.Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen
