Why does a high-end road bike cost more than a car? This week, Anthony dives into the intricate details behind the hefty price tags, breaking down the materials, craftsmanship, and hidden costs that make these machines so expensive. We also tackle wider handlebars for gravel riding and how to balance control with comfort, plus the eternal question: how do you avoid flat tires? For light riders struggling on the flats, Anthony shares tips to build speed and efficiency. Finally, we explore whether waxing your chain is worth the hassle for gravel races and the benefits of adjusting tire pressures between front and rear for better handling.

It's easy to assume professional bike riders get access to the best kit available, but the reality can be very different. From wild monocoque triathlon bikes through to ultra-light climbing bikes, long socks and myriad aerodynamic upgrades, there are many things pros simply aren't allowed to use due to stringent regulations or sponsor restrictions. In this episode of the BikeRadar podcast, two of the team's keenest roadies, Simon von Bromley and Liam Cahill, discuss all these things and how they'd change the rules if they were in charge.

While road tech can often feel as though it moves with the zeal of a glacier, 2023 was an interesting year. We saw new endurance bikes herald the greater conflation of endurance and gravel, new tubeless road tyres from most of the big brands and fresh road groupsets from the Big Three (and more besides), to name just a few. But what does 2024 hold?

Warren Rossiter has had the chance to ride new endurance road bikes from two of the biggest manufacturers around, the Specialized Roubaix and the Giant Defy. These bikes indicate two divergent takes on what makes for a great endurance road bike. The Roubaix displays all-day comfort along with Specialized's Future Shock suspension system, while the Defy is a ‘proper' road bike, with quick handling derived from the TCR but with a little more comfort built in.

Tiago Duarte comprou uma Road Bike. O filho, Filipe, ainda criança, se apaixonou à primeira vista por aquele veículo dos pneus fininhos. Estava ali traçado um plano. Ou um sonho. Ser um 'ciclista competidor'.Desde então, os dois constroem uma longa jornada de amor pelo ciclismo. Residentes no Canadá, eles puderam usufruir de todo o trabalho de base local. Filipe competiu pelo time de mountain bike da escola. Com o apoio do clube local ele também se testou no ciclocross e na pista. Ano passado, junto com a seleção canadense, cruzou o Atlântico para sua primeira temporada de ciclocross na Europa. Em 2024, aos 17 anos, ele vai dar mais um passo no sonho de ser um ciclista profissional. Ele vai para a Itália, para uma temporada com a CPS Professional Team. Uma equipe de base vinculada ao projeto da UAE Emirates. Sobre essa jornada - a mesma de muitos pais e filhos - é o nosso episódio da semana.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

An unexpected stop-ride notice from SRAM, a new bike from Lotus, and thoughts on tyre widths and pedal choice gave our tech team plenty to discuss in this week's Geek Warning podcast.Rumours of a Lotus road bike have been circling for some time, but we didn't expect it to be an aero-e-road bike. The Type 136 takes design concepts from current Lotus-designed track bikes, adding a lightweight HPS mid-drive e-bike system for a complete claimed weight of just 9.8 kg. Lotus has launched the bike with a limited edition model with just 136 available at a cool price of £20,000 / €25,000, ouch.Ratio Technology – the company best known for bringing new life to old SRAM DoubleTap shifters – have done it again. The company's latest release is a new ratchet and pulley wheel kit for SRAM 10 and 11-speed mechanical road groupsets, allowing you to use a Shimano 12-speed cassette and chain.Speaking of SRAM, the American company has announced a stop-sale notice (for North America) related to its aftermarket 12-speed road levers. Set to become a voluntary recall, the notice applies to all SRAM 12-speed road shifters manufactured prior to July 2023 (it's a long list). And before you run to your local store, know the issue is simply that too much thread locker is applied to the clamp bolt, meaning the levers aren't clamping as tightly as what a torque wrench says. If you're already riding a bike with SRAM 12-speed then this one doesn't apply to you, but we'll keep you updated if things change.The biggest news in the bicycle industry has been related to the loss of funding for Signa Sports United, the parent company to Wiggle, ChainReactionCycles, and countless other brands. Now, Wiggle/CRC is in administration with reports of widespread redundancies in business segments responsible for future product and growth.The first mover in producing truly great kids bikes, Isla Bikes, announced it's ceasing production. It's a brand that James has fond memories associated with the first Isla bike he purchased, and it's a brand that will surely be missed by many.POC Sports have launched an LED-equipped version of its Omne road helmet. Integrated lights have been done before and are often somewhat underwhelming in terms of brightness, it'll be interesting to see how POC's new integration goes.After the news, we get into the recurring segments of the Geek Warning. We think that SRAM's Transmission gearing favourability seems to be largely related to geography and riding style. We discuss our preferences related to road tyre width. And then our new ‘Pick One' segment returns, this time we each share and justify our favourite road pedals.

We've also got a new aero all-rounder from Ridley, fancy 3D-printed titanium derailleur hangers, new indoor developments from Wahoo and Zwift, a whole day of hour records, thoughts on the UCI's minimum weight limit, and a word of caution to maybe not trust that little map on your GPS computer *too* much.

Campagnolo launch their newest groupset, and we are confused by not only the product, but the launch in general. @davidarthur @cyclingweekly and @bikeradar do their first look videos, and beat @gcn to the punch. The product itself raises more questions then answers, but one thing is for sure, we are not sitting on the fence when it comes to our own opinions. The release does have us questioning whether the groupset wars are at an end, while we discuss the Enve Melee. Thanks for @nerocoaching for joining us again this week and to @GCPerformance18 for the additional footage. Finally a note on the audio quality this week, which was sub-par. We have worked out what caused the issue and it won't happen again.

More great questions from all of you! We talk mass swim starts, seeding, and how to deal with the crowded water. We get into road bike vs. TT bike, including when to switch, and . . . do you even need to switch? We talk about the drawbacks of TT bikes if you're not willing to put in the time, along with bike fits and why aggressive positions can hurt your race performance. We each give our biggest lessons from our first 70.3's and fulls. Robbie is asked if he ever gets confused when Mike goes off on a tangent and Mike promptly goes off on a tangent to see if he gets confused. We look at self-calibration. We discuss when is the right time to jump from a 70.3 to a full. And we talk about your bandwidth, support, time constraints, and the “want” to race a Full. Topics: Mass Swim Starts C26 Gear Store is Stocked! C26 “Swim School” - Registration is Open Switching from a Road Bike to TT Bike - when and how TT bikes are not free speed unless you work at it Aggressive bike positions Training rides and run injuries The run is blamed for everything Lessons we learned from our first 70.3 and Full Socks or no socks Don't give in The run hurts Soak in the finish line Walking in Ironman is like a drug Does Robbie ever get confused when Mike goes off on a tangent? Mike goes off on a tangent Heart rate in the sauna and counting by polyrhythm Self calibration Jumping from a 70.3 to a Full Training is the journey You need bandwidth, support, time, the want and the drive How are you willing to re-arrange?
