The travel bike is a highly desirable item for many cyclists with dreams of frequent travel, but does it still hold a place with many modern airline policies? It's one of the many topics you'll hear the geeks discuss in this week's episode.In addition to that, you'll hear Dave Rome, along with Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) and Escape's newest tech hire, Josh Weinberg, cover the latest in tech. They discuss the new Factor Monza road bike, where it sits in the range, and the sneaky new UDH Mini rear hanger. Silca's entry into the electric pump world sparks a wider conversation about the category. Plus, there's plenty more tech and industry happenings.The episode wraps with our usual Ask a Wrench segment. Here you'll hear the geeks chat 11-speed Di2, common shock pump leakage, and ponder the pros and cons of modern gravel suspension.

In this episode, Jack Luke sits down with hardcore roadie turned gravel dad, Simon von Bromley, to discuss the missing 1x version of Shimano's 12-speed GRX Di2 groupset.   With images of potential new XTR Di2 parts leaking online in recent months, we've been wondering what it could mean for the next generation of 1x GRX Di2 – something conspicuous by its absence in Shimano's gravel line-up.   The duo ponder what a fully wireless XTR could mean for GRX and Shimano's other 12-speed Di2 ranges, why Shimano's enormous product ecosystem can appear so confusing from the outside, and what features they think would be essential in any new 1x GRX Di2 groupset.   Shimano XTR Di2 'leak' reveals the one thing we've been waiting for 12-speed Shimano GRX Di2 is finally here – but it's 2x only for now Learn more about your ad choices.

Wie seht Ihr das? Erwacht das Rennrad 2025? Wir haben das Gefühl, dass nach dem großen Graveltrend der letzten Jahre das Rennrad wieder gefragter ist. SRAM hat ein Patent für den Universal Brake Mount eingereicht. Ähnlich wie beim UDH versucht SRAM viele Probleme, die aktuelle Scheibenbremsen haben zu lösen. Macht das Sinn? Wird das Erfolg haben? Letzte Woche machte Flitedeck Cockpit die Runde: Ein integrierter Lenker mit eingebautem GPS-Fahrradcomputer, Licht und Klingel. Wir diskutieren, ob das Ganze Sinn machen könnte und wo die Vorteile und Nachteile liegen. Interessant ist auch das Gründerpaar, dass sich komplett eigenfinanziert aus Einnahmen erotischer Fahrrad-Fotos und Videos.

Este fin de semana vimos a Van der Poel cruzar la línea de meta de los Campeonatos del Mundo con una Canyon Grail equipada con Shimano Dura-Ace… Y no son pocos los que se preguntaba en redes sociales ¿por qué no lleva Shimano GRX? ¿No se supone que es el grupo específico para gravel? La explicación es sencilla y complicada a la vez. Hablamos de ello. También hacemos un repaso de algunas de las novedades que se han lanzado en las últimas dos semanas. Por ejemplo, Giant y LIV han sido protagonistas con lanzamientos como el de las nuevas Trance e Intrigue de montaña o las nuevas versiones eléctricas de la Giant Defy y la LIV Avail. Otra novedad interesante ha sido la Moustache Game, una bici con soluciones innovadoras y propuestas distintas, como suele ser habitual en la marca francesa. Terminamos con la Orbea Wild de las que os damos las principales pinceladas a la espera de que Iñaki pase por el podcast ha darnos más información sobre las dos pruebas que le ha hecho a la evolución de la ebike más exitosa de Orbea.

Plus why tyres are likely to keep getting wider.With the road season soon to come to a close, the events in the tech world are unsurprisingly more focused on the dirt. In this week's episode of Geek Warning, you'll hear Brad and Dave cover the latest in tech across road, gravel, and mountain bike.Amongst a number of new things, the geeks discuss a future of electronic suspension and what that could spell for the gravel world. Why tyres are likely to continue trending wider in cross-country racing (among other disciplines). And with Specialized announcing free full suspension frame bearings for the lifetime of its mountain bikes, we discuss new ways to sell bikes in tough times. All this and plenty more!Time stamps:1:25 - BMC's new Teammachine R Masterpiece7:30 - Sad passing of Bob Parlee8:50 - Bontrager goes up to 29 mm rim width for gravel12:40 - Lauf's first mountain bike raises questions on the future of big tyres24:40 - BH has an interesting new short-travel XC bike29:25 - Fox joins the wirelessly-controlled electronic suspension game36:22 - New ways to sell the bikes that aren't selling?47:20 - Ask a Wrench: career mechanic woes55:25 - Ask a Wrench: storing Di2 for winter59:10 - Ask a Wrench: keeping alloy rims black

Kit Nicholson and Jonny Long join Caley Fretz to discuss the heat and a big transfer at the Vuelta and a supermarket sweep in Germany. Plus, Joe Lindsey joins to chat Di2 hacking.

For episode 84 of the road.cc Podcast, we took a deep dive into one of the more curious, and headline grabbing, cycling tech studies of recent years – which discovered that your bike's electronic shifters may be susceptible to hackers, who could even be lurking at the Vuelta a España, waiting to sabotage Primož Roglič's next move to the big ring.That study, published earlier this month by three US-based cyber security experts, explored the security features of Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting systems, the current most common method of changing gears in the pro peloton.The researchers rather worryingly concluded, through a black box analysis of Shimano's systems and a roadside experiment, that they can be hacked by a relatively simple and cheap radio technique – one that potentially has the power to allow nefarious individuals by the roadside or in the peloton itself to change or jam a rival's gears without their knowledge during a race, in a bid to scupper their chances of victory.In this week's podcast episode, one of the researchers behind the much-talked-about Di2 analysis, Dr Earlence Fernandes, a cyclist himself, chats about what inspired him to delve into the security set-ups and flaws of wireless shifting, how hacking someone's gears actually works, his subsequent interactions with Shimano, and how pervasive he thinks the threat of wireless doping could be to both the pro cycling world and us weekend warriors out on a Saturday group ride.

Bike component maker Shimano has launched its new GRX Di2 groupset, which features 12-speed cassettes and semi-wireless shifting. On this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Dave Lawrence and Nick Legan of Shimano talk about how the latest version of their gravel group came to be, its features and what still might lie ahead for GRX. Lawrence is a road and gravel product manager at Shimano and has been with the company for more than 30 years, overseeing the launch of numerous groupsets. Legan, a former WorldTour mechanic and current Shimano road and gravel brand manager, has been participating in gravel and chronicling its development since its early days. He not only provides context for GRX, but looks at the gravel scene as a whole.Topics the duo cover are why there's only a 2-by option of the groupset, the GRX's compatibility with Di2 road groups and the new feature called Front Shift Next. Also, is there ever tension within Shimano between innovation, possibly pushing technology and keeping things ultra reliable, a feature which the brand is known for?Canadian Cycling Magazine has something to say about the new gravel group, too. Recently, associate editor Andre Cheuk was at a Shimano media event for GRX in Carson City, Nev. He took the groupset on some serious rides, including Stetina's Paydirt gravel race. Cheuk, ever the gear geek, gets into the nitty-gritty details of how GRX performs on gravel, in sand and even after some stream crossings. You can read Cheuk's detailed look at the Shimano GRX Di2 on the Canadian Cycling Magazine website.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by MS Bike.

Welcome back to Geek Warning! This week, James and Dave have a varied conversation covering tech related to road, gravel, and mountain bike.The Giro has begun and Tadej Pogačar took a little tumble that many were quick to blame the equipment for. James and Dave discuss that such finger pointing was not warranted this time.At the opposite end of UCI disciplines, the conversation then turns to aero gains returning to professional downhill mountain bike racing.In the tech new front, the geeks praise Chris King's new Gen 4 hubs and discuss why Forge+Bond entry into the road market may not be hugely successful. Plus there's discussion of a new Bike Yoke dropper, Zwift's price rises, and more.Meanwhile, a new Shimano Di2 patent has surfaced teasing wireless 13-speed shifting.

Andrew is in his studio this week… joining Ben via satellite to talk about what is arguably his favorite artistic medium.  But first, some encouraging news about Andrew narrowly avoiding the robot / AI takeover, and how his new daughter is keeping him positively occupied during a period of union drama.  Then Ben shares his experiences with what he has been playing lately: Thirsty Suitors by OuterLoop Games, and Dead Island 2 by Dambuster Studios.  Be warned… there are a few DI2 spoilers in the conversation, so if you want to play this game at some point, you might want to consider skipping to 00:17:00.  Andrew takes yet another sensory adventure trip to Japan before the hosts dive into a discussion about the word ink.  Additional subjects include: independent comics, participating in Inktober, the pros and cons of AI generated art, the origin of Andrew's recurring character Booger Bear, and the seldom seen Mortal Kombat arcade clone from Data East… Tattoo Assassins!    00:00:21 - Sometimes Pringles, sometimes Y, not partially, buying domains, and radicalization  00:03:20 - Picketers borrowing babies, the temperament of custodians, and Skynet is at bay 00:05:13 - Ben started playing Thirsty Suitors, High Fidelity, and correction … 5 not 50 00:09:35 - Los Angeles is not an island, escape from development hell, and zombie cults 00:12:26 - Ben critiques Dead Island 2, zombie types, CHiP bursters, and an artist ruins horses 00:17:00 - Killing another can of Japanese Pringles for Andrew's Sensory Adventure! 00:22:26 - A message to the hot honey flavor designer, and a unique airport Pringles side quest 00:25:53 - Mollusk adjacent words, Admiral Ackbar gets scared, and Andrew discovers comics 00:28:34 - DC and Marvel comic book story differences, and utilizing existing infrastructures 00:31:41 - Art classes, not the shoes, the ink aesthetic, using art software, and a first Inktober 00:36:19 - AI art, outside observer perspectives, the purpose of your art, and deeper meaning 00:41:56 - The definition, the government buys highlighters, and Ben's memories of drafting 00:45:27 - Tattoo designs, the power of creating art, words as structure, and a choir of angles  00:48:03 - The origin of Booger Bear, Andrew's 1st political cartoon, and from a different angel 00:50:39 - Jake Parker, no NaNoWriMo for Andrew, Inktober controversies, and staying current    00:55:01 - Whamageddon, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Googling sports things, and “real” 00:57:06 - Ben's hometown arcade "The Machine," and the dumpster fire of a test game  00:59:11 - Bob Gale, didn't make it out of COVID, MAME nostalgia, and not on VHS footage 01:02:53 - Over 2000 finishers… “eat ship and die” and the DeLorean were 100% Bob Gale 01:04:50 - The roster, the backstories, abandoned by the Army, and back to finishing moves 01:09:04 - Farting flamethrower, the Night Trap documentary, and the Hot Honey equivalent 01:11:40 - A cut above, Andrew doesn't have tattoos, help from Harryhausen, and bad tattoos 01:13:56 - Just do Inktober, maybe wait until you are 30, and the calamari episode   Follow Andrew / Partly Robot Industries on… His website: https://partlyrobot.com/ On Instagram: https://instagram.com/partlyrobot On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@partlyrobot On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/partlyrobot Follow Two Vague on… Our website: http://www.twovaguepodcast.com  On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On X-Twitter: https://twitter.com/TwoVaguePodcast For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com References and Hashtags: https://www.thirstysuitors.com/ - #thirstysuitors  https://outerloopgames.com/ - #outerloop #outerloopgames https://deadisland.com/ - #DI2 https://www.dsdambuster.com/ https://www.theonion.com/cia-realizes-its-been-using-black-highlighters-all-thes-1819568147 - #theonion https://inktober.com/ - #inktober #diypodcasting, #applepodcast, #podbean, #podernfamily, #videogames, #diversity, #lgbtqplus, #twovaguepodcast, #comedy #pringles #pringles_japan

Heute blicken wir noch einmal auf das Transcontinental Race zurück, Flo und Straps besprechen die Unterschiede zwischen Ultra Rennen mit Crew und unsupported races, bereiten die Leistungswerte anschaulich auf, rechnen den Kalorienbedarf der 8d:16h:30min in Zimtschnecken um und beantworten eure Fragen, die ihr uns in den letzten Wochen geschickt habt.Außerdem werden die Kosten für ein TCR aufgeschlüsselt, da es immer wieder die Kritik gibt, dass dieses Rennen zu teuer ist. Wieviel kostet das mit Registrierung, Unterkünften und Verpflegung in Summe also wirklich? Und was ist vergleichsweise für einen Ironman, ein RAAM oder den Ötztaler Radmarathon zu investieren?Beim Blick auf die Resultate fällt auf, dass in den Race Reports des TCR und den finalen Finisher Zeiten im GPS Tracking unterschiedliche Infos zu den schnellsten Frauen zu finden sind – und das führt uns zur Frage, warum es eigentlich „nur“ eine Gesamtwertung gibt? Ob das wirklich ein Zeichen von Gleichstellung und Wertschätzung ist, können wir hier nicht klären sondern nur unsere persönlichen Meinungen dazu abgeben. Das ist vielleicht ein Thema für eine eigene Folge.Ein kleiner Auszug der Fragen, die heute beantwortet werden: Mechanische Schaltung statt Di2? Routenplanung, Organisation der GPX Files, Heatmap Interpretation, Garmin Edge?Schlafentzug, Pausenmanagement, Koffein Wirkung?Durchfall, Verstopfung, Ernährung und Magen-Darm-Gesundheit?Überschuhe, nasse Füsse, Reserve Socken?Ist Ultracycling eine Sucht, stimmt es, dass viele Leute nicht mehr davon loskommen?Wir lassen die Folge mit einem Mitschnitt der Finisher Party ausklingen und hören den Race Director bei seiner Ansprache, wo er viele Geschichten erzählt, die auf der Strecke passiert sind:Jesko wird für seine großartigen Insta Updates gewürdigt, Patrick hatte den absurdesten Defekt (Schlauchwechsel – Laufrad rollte bergab – Kassette verloren – ewig nicht gefunden- Freilauf defekt – 7 Stunden ins Radgeschäft gegangen usw…), Jaimi Wilson die derbste Sprache die den Podcast Produzenten vor Herausforderungen stellte, Thomas Jacquelinet die krasseste Route, David die originellste Reparatur seines Reifens (Tubeless mit Gartenschlauch repariert), Marei die wildeste Begegnung mit Wildtieren, und Mikko wird geehrt, weil er bisher bei allen TCRs gefinished hat. Ein sehr unterhaltsames Finale unserer #TCRNo9 Sitzfleisch Staffel!

Los nuevos grupos de Shimano han sido una de las grandes noticias de la semana. Por un lado tenemos la esperada versión mecánica de 12 velocidades del Shimano 105. Por otro lado, la deseada versión de 12 velocidades del GRX. En este caso último caso llama un poco más la atención que no haya versión Di2 ¿llegará en unos meses? También hablamos de las nuevas cargo de Cannondale, las Cargowagen y Wonderwagen. Como todo lo que hace la marca americana, tienen un sello de diseño y equipamiento que las hace muy especiales.

Hans beukt lekker door in de Ardennen, terwijl Tim losgaat in de Flevolandse polder: de trainingen gaan lekker de laatste tijd, ondanks het slechte weer. Net zo slecht zijn de constant terugkerende verhalen over doping; dit keer met betrekking tot Thomas Steger. Verder de Alpe d'Huez Triathlon, WTCS Sunderland, een harde crash voor Marten van Riel, het passeren van Gustav Iden én minder slots voor Kona. En is Di2 nu eigenlijk wel zo handig, of blijft handmatig schakelen verstandiger?

In deze aflevering spreken wij met Martin Kasemir die ons namens Shimano meeneemt in de wondere wereld van Shimano 105 Di2 en alle andere groepsets. Er is voor ieder wat wils en gelukkig kan Martin ons gidsen door de wirwar van codes, groepsets en aanverwante zaken.

SRAM took the fight to Shimano in 2021 when it launched Rival eTap AXS – a 12-speed, wireless electronic groupset at a relatively affordable price point. After years of telling us that 105 Di2 wouldn't happen, Shimano was forced to react and create a rival for Rival eTap AXS. And now it has – Shimano 105 Di2 R7120 launched earlier this year. Having had plenty of time to put both groupsets through their paces, BikeRadar's senior technical editor, Warren Rossiter, sits down with senior technical writer, Simon von Bromley, to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each system, and see if they can crown one the king of budget electronic road groupsets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shimano 105 saw an eagerly-awaited update in 2022. In came Di2 electronic shifting and 12-speeds (in a disc brake-only flavour to boot), while mechanical shifting 105 got left behind. In this podcast, BikeRadar's road tech maestros Simon von Bromley, Ashley Quinlan and Warren Rossiter delve into our latest four-way bike group test, which featured the previous-generation 105 R7020 groupset. They discuss the continued merits of mechanical 105, why Shimano should consider updating 105 R7000/R7020 to bring it into 12-speed line with its new electronic sibling, and if mechanical 105 R7020 is still the bang-for-buck performance benchmark groupset you shouldn't ignore.

El Shimano 105 Di2 ofrece nuevas posibilidades para todo tipo de ciclistas, pero también para las marcas de bicis. Y es que estamos seguros de que el 105 Di2 va a ser el perfecto aliado para crear gamas mucho más completas. No podemos evitar compararlo con sus hermanos y como encajará en un "mercado Ultegra" como es el español. Tampoco podemos obviar tres bicis sorprendentes que hemos conocido esta semana: la Trek Madone SLR, la Scott Foil RC y la futurista CADEX Tri. Eso sí, le dedicamos más tiempo a la Trek Madone SLR por muchas razones... que os contamos en el podcast 😀

Shimano 105 Di2 R7150, the brand's long-awaited third-tier electronic groupset, has finally arrived. The £1,730 / $1,890 / €1,869 groupset brings more affordable electronic shifting to the Shimano road groupset line-up than ever before.Like Ultegra R8100 and Dura-Ace R9200, Shimano's 105 Di2 road bike groupset is semi-wireless and 12-speed. However, unlike those two groupsets, 105 Di2 is only available with disc brakes.In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Jack Luke and Simon Bromley take a deep dive into the top five things you need to know about the new groupset. - https://www.bikeradar.com/news/shimano-105-di2-r7150/- https://www.bikeradar.com/news/shimano-105-di2-bikes/- https://www.bikeradar.com/features/opinion/future-of-mechanical-groupsets/- https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/shimano-105-r7150-di2-vs-sram-rival-etap-axs/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the episode we hear from 11 time Ironman Finisher, Vicki Muir Cherin. Vicki is signed up and will be going for finish #12 at Ironman Texas on April 22, 2022. Vicki currently lives in Boca Raton, FL with her husband and they 2 adult children and 3 grandchildren. Vicki talks through how she got introduced to the sport of triathlon. Because of an injury, she had gained some weight. After the birth of her granddaughter, she found that walker her in the stroller allow her to become more active without pain. Six months and 60lbs lighter Vicki no longer required medication for pain management. Vicki explains that her original plan was to complete every Ironman race in the upper 48 states. When the Legacy Program was announced she realized that would be a great opportunity to race Kona. She actually lived in Hawaii when she was younger. When I ask her how she's feeling coming into IMTX, Vicki says that she is feeling good. Her back is not giving her trouble and she's been able to get in quality work. She seems particularly satisfied with her bike workouts.Vicki gives a little history of when she met Jim Ristow. Jim was my guest on episode #3 in July of 2021. I We learn that Jim's wife Kim, who has been referred to as “the world's best sherpa,” as taught Vicki's daughter all that she needs to know and is now Vicki's sherpa. I announce that Kim has agreed to be a guest on an upcoming episode where I hope to get her to provide insight into how to best assist an athlete during race weekend.Because Vicki has been on the quest to finish 12 full distance races and qualify to race in “Kona” and because in May 2022 Ironman will hold the World Championships somewhere other than Hawaii for the very first time, I ask Vicki her thoughts. Because of the current uncertainty of if/when the World Championships are actually going to return to Kona and the ongoing concern of her back, she acknowledges that she would welcome the opportunity to race in St. George, UT if invited.Our conversion gets real when Vicki talks about the recent passing of her mom. Her mom loved Hawaii and Vicki has plans to return there to memorialize her either as part of Ironman or not. We talk about how small the world can be sometimes. John Lueder, who I met at IMTX in 2018 and was my 1st guest in Episode 1, was with Vicki on course in Santa Rosa a few years back. John provided support to Vicki during the run portion when her back was giving her trouble.I take the opportunity to provide a little insight and course recon for the IMTX road conditions. The last time Vicki raced in Texas the bike course went through the Sam Houston forest. The Hardy Toll, while relatively flat, has its challenges.Since part of the Legacy Program requirement is to complete at least one full distance race per year until your “Kona” opportunity is realized, I ask Vicki what race see is targeting after completed her 12th at IMTX. She acknowledges that she and Jim have had that conversation and the plan is to race IMTX in 2022. Which means that when she finishes IMTX in 2022 she will have almost a full year to do something other than triathlon! I eventually get around to asking Vicki what bike she rides. At the time of the recording, she shares that she is on a “basic” Cervelo P3 that she actually has to “shift the gears.” Since the recording, she has ordered a new Cervelo with Di2 and disc brakes. IMTX is scheduled to be the last race on her P3.As expected, Vicki shares some insight and wisdom that she's learned over the years as well as her plan to dye her hair purple to promote Dementia awareness. Vascular Dementia is what Vicki's mom was diagnosed with before her death.We wish Vicki and Jim both well as they attempt to finish their 12th full distance Ironman race on May 23, 2022.

DC Rainmaker.   What's New in the 303:   My New Old Bike, Do You Really Need a New Bike? And there it was, my old Madone happily sitting on on my Saris smart trainer just begging for attention. I thought, “why not fix this one up, take the wheels off my never ridden triathlon bike and use that?”  (My original Ultregra wheels needed replacing).   I knew it needed some love, some parts and a few tweaks, so I wondered if my top notch, service course bike mechanic friend Andy could fix it up. I told him just use the minimum parts and get it rideable for my 285 mile trip and then I would still consider a new road bike. Now I won't for a long time hopefully thanks to him.   He wanted no part of “sort of fixing it up.” He is a perfectionist and insisted we do it right; take everything off the frame, repack and replace bearings, all new drive train, shifters, cranks, cables, etc etc… He scrounged for good used parts, even parts off a bike a friend gave him to use “for a good home” after she was hit by a motorist and needed a new bike.   I felt like the kids in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang watching their dad dismantle part of the house to bring back the old race car saved from the scrap heap. Andy would call or text almost daily with some tantalizing update or request approval to spend just a little more for this or that.   My Madone was pretty special to me as it replaced another Madone broken when a driver hit me riding down Lookout. Luckily my body prevailed much better than my bike. Fast forward 40,000 miles and the need to replace the wheels and a tiny crack in the frame expertly fixed by Broken Carbon in Boulder when I decided I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy a discounted R5. Hindsight 20/20, still not a bad decision, but this one was better.   Trek seems to be in love with the combination of letters that name their road bikes; Madone, Domane and Emonda. So I will affectionately rename my Madone to “Nomad”e with an E. Like a nomad, my bike is on the move again. Andy put two pages of parts, materials and tremendous time to get it rolling again. But it rides so well!   Andy is my friend and wanted to help, but he also believes in repurposing and sustainability and put a lot of love into this project. With the insurance money I could've easily bought a very nice new road bike, but why? Sure the new 12 speed Dura-Ace is nice. I guess disc brakes are good, although I'm not a 100% on them, but I did toy with the idea of one bike and two sets of wheels; road and gravel.  But the heart of the bike, the frame, hasn't really changed much in the last decade—at least in process.   I picked up my bike two days before I left and because of snow I couldn't test it. I packed it and off I went. Simply put. It was serendipitous. To feel the love of biking again on a trusted and reliable bike with so many conquered mountains and stories lived; to be on it once again thanks to a friend next to the ocean on my way to Key West on a new adventure with new friends felt amazingly sublime.   The moment I hit the road keeping up with Dave and Deiter, pushing kind of hard to meet the others, I felt so good about this decision. Like, so proud to have kept this bike alive. And if felt better than ever. Tight, responsive, comfortable and the Zipp wheels with the bearings completely re-lubricated rolled so nice. It literally felt like a brand new bike and at a fraction of the cost. Now there is a new bike out there for someone else and I made less impact on the environment.   In light of feeling bike burnout last fall with not such great health over the winter, I have never felt so grateful to be on a bike.

Now I have a crucial part of the equation for understanding my approximate net sodium and fluid losses.     I've always struggled with my nutrition and hydration in long course races. After years of trying to figure out a formula that works for me. A couple of years ago I thought I finally figured it out, having one of the best 70.3 races ever. Last year at Boulder 70.3 I found myself struggling to gulp down my sports drink on the bike and felt like I was behind on my hydration. By mile 7 on the run, I was starting to feel nauseous and only found relief in slowing down. With a little more than a mile to go I found myself with dry heaves and fellow athletes offering everything from well wishes to Rolaids (thanks, Guy Sigley). I felt trashed at the finish line with continuing bouts of dry heaves. That was how I ended my last long course race.   In five weeks I'll be on the start line of IRONMAN 70.3 Galveston. I want this race to go perfectly and avoid the hydration mistakes of the past. I also decided to write this article because I don't want anyone else to have races like that. We all train too hard and sacrifice too much to have race day go sideways.   Committed to getting my hydration right at Galveston 70.3, I have been regularly testing my sweat rate in my cycling and running workouts. At 34-38oz (33oz = 1 liter). per hour   - more on that later. I also wanted to make sure I knew how much sodium I lose per liter of sweat.

DC Rainmaker.   What's New in the 303:   My New Old Bike, Do You Really Need a New Bike? And there it was, my old Madone happily sitting on on my Saris smart trainer just begging for attention. I thought, “why not fix this one up, take the wheels off my never ridden triathlon bike and use that?”  (My original Ultregra wheels needed replacing).   I knew it needed some love, some parts and a few tweaks, so I wondered if my top notch, service course bike mechanic friend Andy could fix it up. I told him just use the minimum parts and get it rideable for my 285 mile trip and then I would still consider a new road bike. Now I won't for a long time hopefully thanks to him.   He wanted no part of “sort of fixing it up.” He is a perfectionist and insisted we do it right; take everything off the frame, repack and replace bearings, all new drive train, shifters, cranks, cables, etc etc… He scrounged for good used parts, even parts off a bike a friend gave him to use “for a good home” after she was hit by a motorist and needed a new bike.   I felt like the kids in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang watching their dad dismantle part of the house to bring back the old race car saved from the scrap heap. Andy would call or text almost daily with some tantalizing update or request approval to spend just a little more for this or that.   My Madone was pretty special to me as it replaced another Madone broken when a driver hit me riding down Lookout. Luckily my body prevailed much better than my bike. Fast forward 40,000 miles and the need to replace the wheels and a tiny crack in the frame expertly fixed by Broken Carbon in Boulder when I decided I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy a discounted R5. Hindsight 20/20, still not a bad decision, but this one was better.   Trek seems to be in love with the combination of letters that name their road bikes; Madone, Domane and Emonda. So I will affectionately rename my Madone to “Nomad”e with an E. Like a nomad, my bike is on the move again. Andy put two pages of parts, materials and tremendous time to get it rolling again. But it rides so well!   Andy is my friend and wanted to help, but he also believes in repurposing and sustainability and put a lot of love into this project. With the insurance money I could've easily bought a very nice new road bike, but why? Sure the new 12 speed Dura-Ace is nice. I guess disc brakes are good, although I'm not a 100% on them, but I did toy with the idea of one bike and two sets of wheels; road and gravel.  But the heart of the bike, the frame, hasn't really changed much in the last decade—at least in process.   I picked up my bike two days before I left and because of snow I couldn't test it. I packed it and off I went. Simply put. It was serendipitous. To feel the love of biking again on a trusted and reliable bike with so many conquered mountains and stories lived; to be on it once again thanks to a friend next to the ocean on my way to Key West on a new adventure with new friends felt amazingly sublime.   The moment I hit the road keeping up with Dave and Deiter, pushing kind of hard to meet the others, I felt so good about this decision. Like, so proud to have kept this bike alive. And if felt better than ever. Tight, responsive, comfortable and the Zipp wheels with the bearings completely re-lubricated rolled so nice. It literally felt like a brand new bike and at a fraction of the cost. Now there is a new bike out there for someone else and I made less impact on the environment.   In light of feeling bike burnout last fall with not such great health over the winter, I have never felt so grateful to be on a bike.

DI2

Today's podcast is all about working on and repairing bikes, from the fun jobs to the dirty ones, to having to install twenty tire inserts for the Field Test, to spending ten hours installing Di2 only for it to rattle apart on the first ride, to our favorite tools, to our most embarrassing workshop injuries... Including the time some scary chemicals messed with RC's, er, "component."

Strategy for attacking a 70.3 has changed a bit over the years with more and more people “racing” it from the opening gun. Today we look at the “strategy within the strategy” to give you the best chance at nailing your next 70.3. We look at race week, pre-race warm up, and everything in race. When to lay back and when to get on the offensive. How to handle your custom taper. Smooth and uneventful transitions. And especially, how to not come out too hot on the run.  Topics: Do you “over-rest” before your 70.3? 70.3 vs. 140.6 mentality  Seconds and minutes matter in a 70.3  Racing 70.3s is relative based on your experience How your taper should line up with the overall amount of training The pace at which we shed fatigue Taper doesn’t mean everything should be easy Ultimately the day-to-day of taper is up to you Race week eating  Stick with what you know Get in the water before the race Ride your bike to make sure it’s working Di2 issues  Feel all three sports on site if possible Where you should practice swim as it relates to the course Race morning - get the HR up  When to put on your wetsuit  Swim your potential, bike smart, run like hell Swimming on the offensive Exiting the water  Transitions: Smooth is Fast Getting on the bike  Important tips for T2  How to start the run Coming out too hot and how to prevent that             --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

Sieben, acht, neun, zehn, elf, zwölf - was wie das Intro eines Rammstein-Songs klingt, ist der "Count-Up" des wichtigsten Antriebs der Welt - der Fahrradschaltung. Nachdem die Ritzelanzahl von (ganz früher) sechs oder sieben zuletzt bis zu zwölf angewachsen ist, der Umwerfer an aktuellen Bikes nicht mal mit der Lupe zu finden und die Übersetzungsbandbreite durch die Auswahl kleinerer oder größerer Kettenblätter auf fast jeden Geschmack anpassbar geworden ist, folgt nun der nächste Evolutionsschritt: Das kabellose Schalten per Funkübertragung! Neu ist elektronisches Schalten nicht, Shimanos kabelgebundene DI2 existiert, führt aber ein Nischendasein. Mit den zunächst sündteuren, kabellosen Schaltgruppen von Sram XX1/XO1 Eagle AXS preschten die Amis vor, nun soll die erschwinglichere GX-Variante das "funky" Schalten für die breite Masse attraktiv machen. Lukas Hoffmann, der die AXS-Gruppen ausgiebig getestet hat, steht Rede und Antwort zu allen Fragen bezüglich Laufzeit, technischer Konstruktion, Zuverlässigkeit und dem Haben-will-Faktor.

Viele Details zu den elektromechanischen Schaltungen von Shimano und SRAM. Was ist mit der Di2 und der eTap AXS möglich? Viele Tipps & Tricks zu Einstellung und der Steuerung vom GPS-Radcomputer.

Welcome to a first in a series of bite size Tdf tech pods. We know that your listening quota goes nuts over the Tour’s three weeks so we are going to drop in a few shorter shows.As John is busy with daily Tour shows for velocast.cc this is Sean on the events of stage 1 and the tech that defined them. Will the race be defined by the bikes that were ridden, or the riders upon them? Ok, we all know the answer to that, but races HAVE been won or lost by seemingly innocuous objects such as plastic bags getting stuck in chains (Paris Roubaix 1988) youtube.com/watch?v=kQsJK81rZ4E Also as promised in the pod, here is the Sram eTap/Shimano Di2 shifting test. youtube.com/watch?v=BqTsxsly3pAAnd here is an up to date vid on the newer Sram AXS vs Di2.youtube.com/watch?v=a5oH_S2vYPAWhat new tech have you spotted on this year’s Tour bikes?Click to view: show page on Awesound

Wout van Aert wint etappe 2 en Sagan kan inpakken als hij voor het groen mag gaan. Dumoulin is in opkomst, en Roglic kan onmogelijk nóg beter worden - het is de Tourvisie van Michael Boogerd. Het is al lang en breed augustus en dus zouden we normaal gesproken net over de kater van een leven zonder Tour heen zijn. Dit jaar is alles anders en klapt iedereen uit elkaar van opwinding - de Tour komt eraan. Om dat te vieren blikken we uitgebreid vooruit op de Tour met Michael Boogerd. Ook Thomas Olsthoorn schuift aan, die eigenhandig de Tourgids van Procycling vol schreef. Lieven Bisschop van Shimano vertelt over Di2 en we sluiten af met de column van Peter Winnen. De Tourgids bestellen? Ga naar tourdefrance.nl.

The Maloti 100 Miler is a mountain bike race between Barkley East and Maclear, in the Eastern Cape. It covers 162km, takes in 2 966m of climbing and ascends South Africa's third highest mountain pass, Naude's Nek. Aside from reaching 2 600m above sea level, where the air is pretty thin, the road surfaces are exceptionally rough. It is definitely not a gravel bike race. But Seamus Allardice didn't bring another bike along and he was set on test riding the Canyon Grail CF SLX 8.0 Di2. The bike, though not the recommended weapon for the race, handled the terrain better than the show's host. Tune in to hear how it went and what to expect for the 2020 Maloti 100, which is set to take place on the 26th of September.

Electronic drivetrains come up pretty frequently when I talk with my athletes and I recently was asked if Di2 was worth the upgrade over an equivalent mechanical shifting groupset. So let's explore the ins and out of electronic shifting in this episode of Bench Talk.

It's Athlete Q and A time! One of my favorite things to do is communicate with athletes and share what we have learned along the way to make our sport and athletic endeavors better. We have all kinds of questions covering where you can find the show, bike fit, doping with baking soda, meditation on the run or ride, FTP tests, other podcasts, hill repeats indoors, the best power meter and smart trainers, running with power and more!

Still diving into the TrainingPeaks numbers and how to use them in training. This week we look at Chronic Training Load (CTL), how it is calculated, and how to use them when setting up a training plan. Rob Bozovich sent us an interesting email concerning Di2 builds and how to save some money on them, which Randy is always happy to look into, and then we talk about a list of the top ten current live bands, just for something different. This week's music comes to us from the parrothead himself, Mr. Jimmy Buffett, with "Breathe In Breathe Out Move On" (a lesson we could all use), and a little rocker from the master Joan Jett with her cover of Springsteen's "Light of Day"/ Make sure to visit www.konaswimbikerun and www.stpeterunningco.com if you are in the Tampa/St. Pete area and let them know you heard about them on the show!! 

Indy is on anaesthesia and wanders off, so he's joining the show. Since the weather has been craptastic so they've been laying low. Lucky for you, they spend nearly the entire episode answering listener questions. If you're wondering about their opinions about electronic controls, bike replacements, and more, listen in. If not, they'll probably have an opinion of where you can go...   Huge thanks to this week's show supporters: Tracy Ellis of Oklahoma - $50 Dean Jensen of Minnesota - $10 Rodd Kugler of Virginia - $10 Scott Shafer of Ontario, Canada - $10   "...I've done the stupidest shit I can imagine on Di2..." - Matt   We want to hear from you! If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for the next episode, contact us at info@mountainbikeradio.com.    SHOW SEGMENTS:   Listener Emails Sponsored by [Your Name Here]  Scott asks about their opinion about a Magura E-Lect Fork.
