Dave and Jack are back for another round of Geek Warning. This week, new road bikes from Cervelo and Pinarello bring the discussion to topics such as what makes a good endurance road bike, where emerging Chinese brands are seeing success, and why aero bottles are an impractical feature. In this episode, you'll also hear what Dave considers the best multi-tool and plenty more. Meanwhile, listeners on our members-only podcast feed will hear "Ask a Wrench" at the end of the episode. This week, Dave Rome is joined by pro mechanic Colin Williams to answer questions about sticking Shimano dropbar levers, how to handle failed internal dropper-post routing, and a difference in SRAM chains that the company has remained silent about. Happy geeking!  Time stamps: 00:02:13 - A correction's corner related to airbags  00:04:00 - Pinarello's Dogma X is a pure road bike  00:19:15 - Cervelo's new Soloist is now less affordable  00:32:00 - Wrapping up the WheelTop EDS GeX review  00:42:00 - Dave's multi-tool pick(s) 00:48:30 - Tern updates its compact cargo bike  00:53:30 - Ask a Wrench (members only feed)  00:54:30 - Sticking Shimano brake levers when tightened 00:58:45 - When internal dropper post routing fails  01:09:00 - SRAM T-Type versus Flat Top chains 

Die Gründerfamilie investiert 50 Millionen Euro in Sixt und die Aktie wirkt weiterhin ausgesprochen günstig bewertet! Jonathan Neuscheler hat an der Hauptversammlung teilgenommen, dem Management 20 Fragen gestellt und bringt seine wichtigsten Erkenntnisse zu Wachstum, Margen, US-Expansion und Prognose mit. Tobias reagiert mit echtem Geld und platziert ein Kauflimit für weitere Sixt-Aktien. Danach startet die Doppelfolge zu fünf japanischen Aktien. Den Anfang machen Shimano und Daikin Industries. Das erwartet Dich im Video: Bei Shimano geht es um den langen Kursrückgang, den Lagerabbau nach dem Corona-Fahrradboom und eine außergewöhnlich starke Bilanz. Tobias entscheidet sich trotz des bisherigen Verlusts für einen Nachkauf und erhöht seinen Bestand deutlich. Daikin steht dagegen vor einer Bewertungsfrage: Wie viel Potenzial bieten Klimaanlagen, Wärmepumpen, Schwellenländer und die Kühlung von Rechenzentren – und wie viel davon steckt bereits im Kurs? Ist Sixt ein Schnäppchen? Würdet ihr Shimano nachkaufen? Und ist Daikin inzwischen zu teuer?

Lo de la revolución de las 32 se puede quedar una broma… sobre todo en Europa si tenemos en cuenta el peso del segmento ebike. Cuando Eurobike parecía que no iba a dar grandes sorpresas, Gobao y Avinox han revolucionado la feria alemana con la presentación de sus sistemas de asistencia con caja de cambios integrada. Dos sistemas que, además de una cifra espectacular de prestaciones del motor, proponen soluciones diferentes a la integración de los cambios. ¿Y han sido los primeros? No, Pinion lleva varios años con una propuesta similar, pero se trata de un toque de atención a la industria ya que, sobre todo en el caso de Avinox y a pesar de ser un prototipo, llega de la mano de 5 marcas de bicis de renombre que están en la feria alemana con prototipos completos de cuadros. Estos dos sistemas, y el previo de Pinion, solucionan muchos problemas de desgaste de la transmisión y los analizamos en detalle, con sus pros y sus contras y el hecho de cómo puede impactar en el diseño del cuadro o del resto de componentes. No obstante, un movimiento de este calibre ya no sólo debe preocupar a otros “players” de motores sino que tampoco habrá hecho mucha gracia en las oficinas de Shimano o SRAM. Precisamente, hablando de otras marcas de motores, BOSCH también presentó recientemente su primer motor al buje trasero. Es un movimiento interesante y explicamos por qué. Amflow también ha presentado en Eurobike la nueva TL Carbon, una SUV que es muy eMTB y que equipa el motor M2. Una opción más que interesante y con un precio muy atractivo. La hemos analizado en detalle. Yamaha tampoco se ha quedado quieta y ha presentado su sistema PW-Link con dos motores, el PW-X4 y PW-S3 que funcionan a 48V. Shimano también ha tenido su ración de presentaciones, con los renovados DEORE y DEORE XT mecánicos y más opciones para CUES con frenos de disco hidráulicos. Estas dos semanas han dado para mucho más, como la apuesta de SRAM por la producción en Portugal o los prototipos que Canyon ha presentado en Eurobike, una bici y un casco de carretera súper integrados e inteligentes y la Lux ERA con ruedas de 32” y un manillar que no deja indiferente a nadie. Este episodio ha sido gracias a Schwalbe y su nuevo Pro One Tubeless, un neumático de carretera diseñado para quienes quieren rodar más rápido, con más agarre y con todas las ventajas del tubeless moderno. Ligero, eficiente y con una gran sensación de control, se ha convertido en una de las referencias del segmento tanto para entrenamiento como para competición.

This week, Dave, Ronan, and new guy Jack chat about Eddy Merckx's new bike and why it's surprised Ronan. The bike provides good fodder for diving into more serviceable cockpits and for understanding why only fashion may limit the uptake of progressive road geometry. There's good news for those who prefer cable-actuated shifting, as Shimano has updated its mountain bike offerings. Dave has other things on his mind, too, including Australia's Spoken bike show and how downhill is teasing future puzzling for disc brakes.Of course, there's plenty more than that, and members of Escape Collective also get Ask a Wrench at the end of the episode (members-only feed).Time stamps: 00:01:30 - The new Eddy Merckx and an exploration into progressive road geometry  00:22:45 - Shimano's mechanical shifting update 00:29:00 - Shimano updates a real classic  00:31:45 - Don't miss Overnight Success  00:33:50 - Downhill tech is on Dave's mind and the pursuit of heat-regulated brakes  00:39:15 - Dave makes a case for why Australia's builder scene is world-class  00:46:00 - Cannondale's nostalgic Team Dream CAAD14s  00:47:15 - Bianchi's new Specialissima  00:51:45 - Ask a Wrench with Colin Williams (Members Only)  00:54:00 - A Shimano mechanical dropbar shifter that's coming undone  01:03:00 - Inconsistent Torx tooling  01:13:45 - Noisy eccentric bottom bracket challenges  01:21:20 - Disc brake pads for high elevation bike packing 

Full Spectrum Cycling Podcast – Episode 333 (333.2) with Allroy from Canada https://youtu.be/xX9fEGCrRhw It doesn’t happen all at once. Usually it’s one bike, one caliper, one cold morning where you squeeze the lever and something is clearly not right. But on Episode 333 of Full Spectrum Cycling, both Sven and Allroy – independently, on different bikes, in different countries – arrived at exactly the same conclusion about hydraulic disc brakes and winter fat biking. They’re done with them. When Hydraulics Quit in the Cold Allroy rides a Norco Bigfoot as his primary winter machine. Last season, one of the Shimano hydraulic calipers blew out. He had a spare cable-actuated brake sitting around, swapped it on, and rode out the rest of the winter without issue. No drama, no performance drop he could actually notice. Sven had a similar story with Magura hydraulics on his fat bike. No crash, no obvious damage – the front brake just stopped having fluid one day. Replaced it with a TRP Spyke cable-actuated caliper and hasn’t looked back. The culprit with hydraulics in cold weather is usually fluid behavior, seal expansion and contraction, and the fact that a small leak or air pocket that’s a nuisance in summer becomes a real problem at -20. Mineral oil brakes (Shimano, Magura, and TRP’s own hydraulic line) handle cold better than DOT fluid systems. Plus, DOT will strip your paint and be a general nightmare but even mineral oil setups aren’t immune to cold-weather issues. Why TRP Spyke and Spyre Are the Answer The difference between a TRP Spyke or Spyre and a mid-range mechanical caliper like a BB7 comes down to pad movement. On a BB7, only one pad moves the other is fixed, which means you end up micro-bending the rotor to make contact. It works, but it’s not ideal. TRP’s mechanical calipers actuate both pads from center, which means you get consistent, even contact and a much cleaner adjustment. The Spyke is the mountain/fat bike version (long pull lever), and the Spyre is the road version (short pull). Both are made by the same people who make Tektro, just at the higher end of the line, and they’re priced reasonably for the quality. The honest take from both Allroy and Sven: on a fat bike, you’re not descending at 60 mph. You’re not shuttle-lapping a bike park. The actual stopping power of a good mechanical disc brake is more than adequate for how fat bikes get ridden, and the reliability advantage in winter is not small. Fat Bike Lab is at 110 Members – and It’s Active The Fat Bike Lab community on Skool is at 110 members and, notably, it’s not a ghost town between November and April. A good chunk of the current engagement is coming from UK riders, who tend to have terrain suited to fat biking year-round and don’t wait for snow to justify riding wide tires. Allroy gave a specific example of what makes the community worth being in: a thread where someone broke down the differences between Manitou fork variants, complete with technical detail that’s hard to find anywhere else. That kind of thread, from people who actually know the equipment, is what makes the community useful rather than just a place to post bike photos. The discussion about adding a “Pantry” section, essentially a classifieds or gear swap area, came up as a logical next step. The idea is to give members a dedicated space to post used gear for sale or trade, separated from general discussion, without turning the whole community into a marketplace. If you’re a fat biker and you’re not already in Fat Bike Lab, it’s worth checking out.https://www.skool.com/fat-bike-lab-4983 Wyatt Bicycles Closes After 15 Years This is a real bummer! Coming from Wisconsin too we are saddened to learn that Wyatt Bicycles, based in Bangor, Wisconsin, closed after 15 years of building American-made aluminum fat bikes. These weren’t budget bikes! They were well-engineered, reasonably priced for US-made product, and built with some smart design thinking around how the chainstay and seat stay yoke were jigged for easy, consistent welding. The story of Wyatt is also the story of what happened to the fat bike industry more broadly. The big brands, Specialized, Trek, and others, came in, made money off the trend, and then dropped fat bikes from their lineups when growth slowed. The small builders who had been doing it seriously before the trend, and kept doing it after, were left trying to survive in a market that had been inflated and then deflated by companies with no long-term commitment to the category. Allroy’s town went from four bike shops to zero. The closest option is now a 20-30 minute drive to a big-box franchise. The same pattern is playing out in Milwaukee, where COVID accelerated shop closures that were already underway. None of this means fat biking is dying, the Fat Bike Lab community is proof of that, but the retail and manufacturing infrastructure that supported it is thinner than it was five years ago. North American Brands Worth Supporting The conversation moved naturally into brands that are still doing things right. A few that came up: We Are One Composites – Canadian carbon rim manufacturer, making wheels that save real weight without the overseas price-to-quality lottery. Seeley Dave went North American for a summer wheelset build and landed on We Are One after running the numbers on a full US build with Onyx hubs, Bird Spokes, and Velocity rims. 9.8 Components – Also Canadian, makes dropper posts and the inverted-style flat pedals that Tony is a dedicated fan of. The dropper posts are fully user-serviceable if you want to do the maintenance yourself, or you can send them back. That repairability matters for a component that takes a beating. Onyx Racing Products – are made in Minnesota by Christianson Systems, a family-run machining operation that originally built farm equipment. The hub line started with BMX racing and has since grown into arguably the most comprehensive hub catalog in cycling covering BMX, mountain, road, gravel, fat bike, park, and track, with hundreds of configuration options across axle standards, driver bodies, colors, and their Classic and Vesper weight tiers. The engineering centerpiece is a patented sprag clutch mechanism which delivers completely silent coasting, zero drag, and engagement so fast it’s effectively instantaneous. Every hub ships with ceramic hybrid bearings as standard. For fat biking specifically, the combination of instant power transfer and dead-silent rolling makes them a standout choice, and the fact that they’re built in the U.S. and backed by a company that has been doing precision machining long before cyclists discovered them doesn’t hurt either. The Beer, the 3D Printer, and Everything Else JK brought an Abita Brewing “Jockamo” Juicy IPA from New OrleansABV 6%, 30 IBU and Jazz Fest-approved. Allroy went with Rouge River “Hop Eye” Hazy IPA at 6.8%, purchased from his local government agency store now that corner stores in Ontario carry beer. Both received passing marks. Sven’s 3D printing setup was on display during the show, and Allroy’s son has been printing glow-in-the-dark Godzilla figures and working through a backlog of functional and decorative projects. If you’re new to 3D printing, the first thing you print is a Benchy. It is law. Allroy also got out for a three-day bikepacking trip with Rory – described as genuine Goldilocks conditions, meaning no rain, no mechanicals, and no regrets. He’s hoping to get back out in August. And Sven’s birthday is July 4th, which coincides this year with the United States’ 250th anniversary. He has complicated feelings about competing with the entire country for his own birthday!

wash lines, and why the UCI is suddenly policing your jersey pockets and screen size. This week on the Velo Podcast, it's lonely! I was away doing an interview, and Mike Levy is out in the wilderness doing a big ride. That left just Logan Jones-Wilkins and Lisa Charlebois to cover the week's topics. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 - Unbound Aftermath & Press Camp Prep: The pair starts off discussing Charlebois getting ready for her first press camp. She has questions about how to handle it, but she also asks Jones-Wilkins if he has recovered from Unbound and what happens after the finish line when the cameras stop. He details the reality of the endless queues for the Muc-Off bike wash, the decompression in the pro tent, and the sheer volume of mud that riders had to scrape off just to feel human again. 05:27 - Shimano GRX Long-Term Review: Gravel continues to be the focal point of the episode. If you've been following the drivetrain wars, you know SRAM has seemingly cornered the gravel market. Jones-Wilkins decides to zig when others zag, breaking down his custom mashup—pairing an XTR rear mech with GRX levers—and explaining why Shimano is actually winning the gravel race when it comes to raw shifting speed, cassette range, and the long-term cost of consumable parts. It is a deep dive into why 12 speeds might just beat 13, and why a brand doesn't always need to reinvent the wheel to stay on top. 40:34 - The UCI's New Tech Regulations: The gravel wars are free from the UCI, but once again, the team had to talk about another head-shaking UCI decision. The UCI recently rolled out new tech regulations, including a cap on computer screen sizes, conveniently set exactly 1mm larger than the massive Wahoo Ace. They also introduced a ban on carrying nutrition in front jersey pockets. Logan and Lisa debate whether this is a genuine safety measure to reduce cognitive load or just another instance of the UCI over-regulating tech while ignoring course safety. 51:30 - Ultra-Racing Updates: Finally, the duo wraps up with a nod to the ultra-endurance world, dot-watching Lael Wilcox as she sets off on her Around the World Record attempt, and tracking Dr. Sarah Ruggins on her massive push across the European divide.

Wat jarenlang bekendstond als RIDE Magazine, gaat vanaf deze editie verder onder de nieuwe naam Wielerflits Magazine. De mijlpaal werd gevierd bij Canyon en Concourse Zuid in Amsterdam met een live podcast, een netwerkborrel en als bijzondere gasten oud-profs Steven Rooks en Michel Cornelisse.De naamswijziging hing al langer in de lucht, maar nu was er dan ook echt de lancering. Hoofdredacteur Maxim Horssels, RIDE-oprichter Rodrick de Munnik en hoofdverslaggever Raymond Kerckhoffs namen samen die stap. "Eigenlijk had ik het zelf als optie afgeschoten," gaf Horssels toe tijdens de live podcast. Maar de logica bleek onweerlegbaar.De Munnik vertelde hoe hij het omslagpunt beleefde: tijdens een dag in de neutrale auto van Shimano (de reportage staat in dit zomernummer) vroeg de neutrale auto-chaffeur waar hij voor werkte. "RIDE Magazine," zei De Munnik. "Nooit van gehoord," was het antwoord.  Toen Roderick toevoegde dat het het tijdschrift van Wielerflits was, was de reactie direct: "Oh, Wielerflits!" Kerckhoffs vulde aan dat twee namen in leven houden gewoon niet meer werkte: dubbele social accounts, dubbele banners, dubbele inspanning. "En nu staat de naam Wielerflits ook op het magazine."Het inhoudelijke hart van de middag was de live podcastopname, waarbij Steven Rooks en Michel Cornelisse aanschoven. De gesprekken gingen van de zwaarte van moderne parcoursen — Raymond schreef er een opiniestuk over in het nieuwe nummer — tot de vraag of Jonas Vingegaard dit jaar dichter bij Tadej Pogačar kan komen in de Tour de France. Rooks, die in 1988 als Noord-Hollander de bergtrui won op Alpe d'Huez, sprak met merkbare nostalgie over die overwinning. "Dat reporters en verslaggevers zo enthousiast zijn, terwijl jij op dat moment bezig bent met de finish, dat merk je pas later. Leo Driessen, die destijds op de motor zat voor Radio Tour de France, is inmiddels een goede vriend. Ik heb het bandje van die opname nog."Cornelisse, die de Tour nooit als renner reed maar er wel als ploegleider bij was, haalde zijn mooiste herinnering op: de eerste gele trui van Mathieu van der Poel op de Mûr de Bretagne. "We zaten in de auto: wat ben je nou aan het doen, man? Iedereen die daar demarreerde, werd er gelijk afgereden. En hij deed het gewoon twee keer."De lancering vond plaats in het pand van Concourse Zuid in Amsterdam, waar de enige Canyon Experience Partner van Nederland te vinden is. In het nieuwe nummer lees je een uitgebreid interview met Canyon-CEO Roman Arnold. Door Roderick omschreven als een van de meest indrukwekkende ondernemersverhalen in de fietswereld. "Vanuit de achterbak van zijn auto is hij begonnen. 26 stappen verder is daar Canyon uitgekomen."Na afloop van de podcast was er ruim tijd voor een netwerkborrel, waar wielerfans, abonnees en mensen uit de fietsbranche met elkaar bijpraatten. Alle aanwezigen namen een exemplaar van het nieuwe Wielerflits Magazine mee naar huis.

We took the mobile studio down to Lewisville, Texas, to sit down with local legends Carlos and Lisa Uranga at the brand-new Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio. Before we dive into the black magic of bike fitting, Brad and Kevin debrief the absolute mudfest at Unbound 2024. We break down Keegan Swenson's F1-style pit stops, the utter dominance of the Specialized Crux, and the momentum building behind Scott's winning 32-inch prototype in the XL field.Then, we get down to the nuts and bolts of how a proper bike fit can give you free watts, fix that nagging lower back pain, and keep you smiling on those ultra-endurance pushes. Carlos and Lisa break down why buying a bike before getting fit is a massive gamble—especially in the era of expensive, integrated cockpits. Whether you are building up a brand-new MOG, tweaking a trusty Fargo, or stubbornly mashing a single-speed, this episode is packed with fit philosophy that will change how you look at your rig.In this episode, we cover:The Unbound 2024 Fallout: Mud, marginal gains, and why a good team dynamic is just as important as tire clearance.The 32-Inch Wheel Revolution: Will it become the new standard for ultra-endurance and bikepacking?The Pre-Purchase Fit: Why you should get mapped on a fit bike before dropping $10k on a rig with an integrated cockpit.Short Crank Science: The mechanical advantage of dropping down to 160mm or 165mm cranks to open up your hip angle and improve aerodynamics.Solving the "Hot Foot": Why standard wide shoes (we're looking at you, Shimano) might be failing you, and how surface area, socks, and custom insoles make or break a 100-mile ride.Direct-to-Consumer Risks: The pros and cons of buying Chinese carbon frames like X-Lab or Quick Pro without a proper geometry consultation.Links & Resources:Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio: fullgasfitstudio.comFind Carlos & Lisa Urrenga's studio off 121 in Lewisville, TX for your next pre-purchase mapping or fit follow-up.0:00 New Location Intro00:22 Meet Full Gas Fit Studio01:31 Unbound Tech Talk 32s05:27 Fit Implications of 32s08:54 Unbound Weather Recap11:11 Wheel Swap Drama14:12 Crux Bike vs Talent16:14 Fit Basics Stack Reach21:57 Buy Fit Before Bike27:28 Integrated Cockpit Headaches34:18 Hot Feet Troubleshooting39:49 Fitting Riders on Flats40:58 Flats Versus Clips41:47 Leg Length Shims42:40 Short Crank Setup44:27 Q Factor Explained45:10 Pedal Options Today47:04 Fit Across Bike Types50:02 Goals Drive Fit51:35 Common Pain Triggers52:50 How Often Refit55:53 Injuries And Compensation57:41 Tools And Assessments59:47 Free Watts For All01:01:14 Modern MTB Geometry01:02:44 Droppers And Setback01:05:24 Hip Angle Blood Flow01:08:08 Watching Pros Critically01:09:52 Three Contact Points01:11:55 Ultra Endurance Fits01:14:16 Pre Fit Before Buying01:17:34 Partnering With Shops01:20:14 Fit Included On 10K Bikes01:20:38 Custom Spec Bikes01:21:05 Booking a Fit01:21:57 Four Hour Fit Day01:23:30 When MOG Won't Fit01:24:38 Testing Cockpits Fast01:26:00 Fit Bike vs Your Bike01:27:19 Pricing and Transfers01:28:24 Why Fits Matter01:30:48 Follow Ups and Fees01:33:54 Crank Length Debate01:37:07 Short Cranks Stories01:44:45 Trends and Geometry01:46:08 DTC Brands and LBS01:50:03 Wrong Bike Problem01:51:32 Wrap Up and Contact

In November 1927, a young Italian racer named Tullio Campagnolo stood freezing on a mountain pass in the Dolomites, unable to change gear because his hands were too cold to loosen his wheel nuts. That moment changed cycling forever. Campagnolo would go on to invent the quick-release skewer, pioneer the modern derailleur, and build the components that carried legends like Coppi, Merckx, Hinault, Pantani, and Pogačar to victory. For decades, Campagnolo was cycling. So how did the company that defined the sport end up with zero teams in the 2026 WorldTour? This is the story of Campagnolo — and how greatness slowly lost the race.One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.

Ingo fährt jahrelang die falschen SPD-Schuplatten und seit zwei Monaten ein neues TIME ADHX 45. Dazu viel Reifenbreiten & Roubaix-Talk! Das TIME ADHX 45 nach Ingos Wünschen: Warum überhaupt ein TIME? Was war der Entscheidungsgrund? SPD Cleats sind nie ein Thema! Aber das ist vielleicht genau der Fehler: keiner versteht so richtig, warum Shimano drei verschiedene Cleats im Angebot hat. Jedenfalls nicht auf Anhieb. Thema Reifen wieder mal top aktuell: Josh Poertner geht deep into Reifenbreiten, Energie, usw. Müssen Reifen noch breiter werden, weil Räder zu schnell werden? Wieder mal eine echt abwechslungsreiche Sendung mit Themen, die alle eine eigene Sendung verdient hätten.

It's the week after the Sea Otter Classic, and the geeks speak surprisingly little of the products shown there. Instead, Ronan and Dave cover new budget drivetrains from SRAM and Shimano. Dave is thinking about unsustainable warranty policies. And there's plenty more covered from the world of cycling tech.  As a reminder, members of Escape Collective also get access to Ask a Wrench (at the end of the free episode). This week, Zach Edwards joins Dave in answering a variety of questions from members. Happy geeking! Time stamps: 00:01:29 - Should you grease headset spacers? 00:05:39 - Lifetime warranties on wear items  00:16:14 - Sea Otter - lots of 32” wheels and the rise of Chinese brands 00:31:38: - SRAM S-Series, where 9 becomes 3 00:39:54 - Shimano CUES 2x11 overlapping with Tiagra 2x11 00:45:37 - UCI vs SRAM.

We build durable cyclists. New performance videos every week on YouTube:

Whoa, what a week to be a cycling fan. And for the nerds among us, Roubaix rolling into Sea Otter is always great.This week Ronan, Alex, and Dave discuss some of the bigger tech finds and blunders of Roubaix and what they may spell for future products and trends. Many tangents are had. Ronan got to ride the new Colnago C72 and shares why he's always dreamed of owning a C-Series.Of course, the geeks also cover some tech news, and there's a PSA. It's a long one, but we think it's a good one! As usual, members of Escape Collective get Ask a Wrench (via the member-only podcast feeds). It's perhaps one not to miss for the chain waxers among us.Time stamps:  3:55 - New Shimano SLR pedals break cover 7:48 - MVDP not on that new Endurace 16:42 - 1x everywhere from Shimano and SRAM  25:30 - Tyres wider than first assumed?  29:00 - What's going on with all the punctures?  34;10 - Inflatable inserts from Odyssey Optis  41:30 - On your mind: The Roubaix-specific bike may still have its day again 49:15 - Roubaix's most intriguing tech picks (glue) 57:00 - Colnago's new C72  1:06:15 - Shimano finally adds crank options to GRX 1:07:15 - Dave's Tool Lust (Cushcore)  1:11:35 - Sea Otter Classic is here 1:12:15 - PSA: Be careful not to make a candle 1:17:30 - Ask a Wrench with Zach Edwards (Escape members only)  1:18:40 - Chain wax for ultra endurance applications  1:28:00 - Fixing a stuck brake hose olive  1:32:20 - Time XC pedal creak 1:39:55 - Why isn't Nitrogen used in tyres?

Hoy tenemos el placer de sentar en el podcast a una de las personas más interesantes (y necesarias) del panorama ciclista en español: Sebastián Sitko.Probablemente también una de las más incómodas.Doctor en ciencias del deporte, profesor universitario, entrenador de élite y autor de más de 70 artículos científicos… pero lo que realmente diferencia a Sitko no es su currículum. Es que no se calla. Y eso, en el ciclismo, tiene consecuencias.Acaba de publicar Ciclismo 2.0, un libro basado en evidencia científica con casi 200 estudios detrás, y aprovechamos la excusa para tener una conversación profunda, directa y sin filtros sobre entrenamiento, rendimiento y muchas de esas “verdades” que damos por hechas… y que quizá no lo son tanto.Hablamos de todo: entrenamiento de fuerza, zonas, FTP, métricas como TSS o CTL, cómo debería entrenar realmente un ciclista amateur con poco tiempo, las claves de la recuperación en carreras por etapas y hacia dónde va el futuro del entrenamiento con la llegada de la IA y el análisis de datos.Pero también entramos en terreno más incómodo.Analizamos sus series más polémicas en redes como “¿Paraísos? Ciclistas”, donde destroza (con bastante criterio y bastante mala leche) algunos de los destinos más idealizados del ciclismo, y sus análisis del Tour, donde deja entrever más de lo que dice… y dice más de lo que parece.Una charla en la que intentamos entender si ese personaje que vemos en redes es estrategia… o simplemente alguien diciendo lo que piensa sin filtros.Después de la entrevista, repasamos lo más destacado de la actualidad con una París-Roubaix muy comentada, el debate sobre los relevos a Pogacar, el ambiente alrededor de Wout van Aert, novedades de material como los nuevos pedales Shimano o la tendencia hacia neumáticos más anchos.También repasamos lo que está pasando en el panorama nacional con la Copa de España y varias carreras internacionales, y cerramos con nuestras sensaciones del fin de semana en Costa Atlántica.Un episodio diferente. De los que te hacen pensar. Y seguramente, de los que generan debate.Dale al play.LINKS DE INTERÉS:LIBRO: https://sitkotraining.com/libro/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sitkotraining/MADRID GRAVEL TOUR: https://bicilab.es/MGT26/

Today we have a killer show that ends with a KILLER deal, on one of the best selling rods of the last 5-10 years! It's a deal so good, you have to do a double take, but I promise, it's real. We also tackle the topic of scented soft plastics in this week's fishing poll, and in the mailbag we discuss rod and reel cleaning, the Tatula X vs Shimano SLX XT, budget musky setups, and more!   LINK TO ARDENT REEL CLEANING KIT: https://amzn.to/41hC14E   Tackle Talk is presented by:  The Rod Locker | www.therodlocker.com | Promo Code: TACKLETALKAPRIL   Additional support provided by: Amped Outdoors | www.ampedoutdoors.com  Humminbird | www.humminbird.com Minn Kota | www.minnkotamotors.com

A viral Reddit thread about Shimano Cues shifting failures reveals a deeper issue — Shimano's new unified groupset ecosystem is creating tolerance problems that open the door for SRAM at the entry level. We break down why the engineering is sound but the strategy is flawed.The Cycling Brief — Daily cycling intelligence, produced by SEMIPRO CYCLING. 

La Absa Cape Epic no es una carrera cualquiera… y en este episodio monográfico te lo demostramos. Analizamos todo lo que ha ocurrido en esta edición 2026, desde la competición profesional hasta lo más importante: cómo hemos vivido nosotros la carrera desde dentro como BiciLAB.Arrancamos con un repaso claro y directo a la carrera PRO: cinco equipos protagonistas (Specialized, Wilier, Canyon, Buff BH y Klimatiza), cinco victorias diferentes que reflejan el nivel brutal de esta edición, y una general que ha ido cambiando de manos en un auténtico pulso entre gigantes.Pero más allá de los resultados, nos metemos en lo que hace única a la Cape Epic. Hablamos de su recorrido, de la dureza física y técnica, y de ese “aura” que solo entiendes cuando estás allí. No hay otra carrera igual. Y te explicamos por qué.Después entramos en lo que de verdad te interesa: nuestra Cape Epic. Cómo hemos vivido la experiencia desde dentro, la convivencia con equipos PRO, el día a día con otros creadores de contenido, los vídeos que hemos grabado, y todo el contenido paralelo (Zugasti, ANE, podcast sin filtros…). Sensaciones reales, sin postureo.Jota se marca uno de los análisis más potentes del episodio hablando de material: frenos y combinaciones XTR, elección de neumáticos, el debate del plato 34 vs 36, comportamiento de las bicis, transmisión inalámbrica, mandos de suspensión, cámaras, micros… todo lo que marca la diferencia cuando estás al límite.También hablamos de lo que no suele contarse: aciertos y errores. Desde el servicio mecánico hasta la gestión de carrera o los masajes. Lo que repetiríamos… y lo que no.Y por supuesto, no evitamos las polémicas: la sanción comparada con 2023, la victoria por 32 segundos y el tema de la competición femenina.Cerramos con una de las preguntas clave: ¿cuánto cuesta correr la Cape Epic? Desglosamos números reales (inscripción, vuelos, alojamiento, vehículos, extras…) y te contamos cómo ha sido nuestra expedición. Aquí toca agradecer, sin rodeos, a quienes lo han hecho posible: BH, Nutrinovex, Shimano y Soljet.Y terminamos con la gran pregunta:¿merece la pena la Cape Epic?Dale al play. Este episodio es probablemente el más completo que hemos hecho sobre la Epic.

This week, we have tech editors Ronan Mc Laughlin and Josh Weinberg coming in from opposite ends of the world, both in dimly lit hotel rooms, and without their usual podcast recording equipment. It's only up from here!  In the first section, Dave Rome chats to Ronan about his previous day touring Pirelli. Then Dave reminds us of the real-world compromises that 1x shifting continues to battle. Also, you'll hear a rant, and Ronan has a Good Thing that many probably already own.  Next stop is Dave catching up with our US tech editor Josh Weinberg, who finds himself in Taiwan for the Taipei Cycle Show.  And finally, members of Escape Collective (who get access to everything we do at Escape Collective), can tune in for our popular Ask a Wrench segment, where Dave and pro mechanic Zach Edwards answer technical questions from members. Finally, the day has come for Geek Warning to be a motion picture. You'll now find episodes on YouTube, too.    Happy Geeking!    Time stamps:    4:40 - Touring Pirelli HQ  12:00 - Pirelli's new flagship race tyre 18:00 - Wolf Tooth's new flagship Mark Zero range 21:40 - The real world compromises of 1x shifting  34:00 - Content creation that has Dave ranting  40:20 - Ronan's Good Thing that you may already own - 44:45 - Taipei Cycle Show with Josh  52:00 - 32er manufacturing is brewing, 3D printing, and other trends 1:07:00 - Ask a Wrench (members only)  1:08:00 - Shimano brakes gone bad if not used  1:17:30 - Stuck tyre bead on rim.

Reach out and touch us: shiftlesslive@gmail.comThe hosts discuss new chairs, early fall weather in Texas, and windy bike rides, then shift to home projects including installing a built-in ice maker and outfitting a “meat and cheese room” with grinders, slicer, sausage stuffer, mixers, refrigeration conversions, and planned purchases like a stainless table, cheese press, and chamber vacuum sealer, aiming to process and sell packaged meats and preserves. They review an email about the Coros Dura bike computer's touchscreen, strong battery life, and route-loading limitations, and talk about 32-inch wheel development, supply-chain constraints, and prototype builds. The conversation covers new drivetrain options (Ratio modular derailleur), debating electronic shifting, Schwalbe radial tires for an e-bike, riding an e-bike and even a Brompton on trails, and brief cycling-industry news including Lycra's Chapter 11 filing and Shimano's $11.5M penalty over a crank recall. They also plan food logistics for a St. Joe Open Air event using Blackstones and discuss a documentary on Mariah Wilson.00:00 High on Life Opener00:24 Texas Weather Whiplash02:17 Van AC Setup Talk04:09 Kitchen Pass and Coolers04:45 Meat Room Gear Shopping07:55 Dry Aging Fridge Build09:32 Chamber Vac and Sales Plan13:31 Email Coros Dura Review17:38 32 Inch Wheels Coming20:33 Caleb No Show Update23:12 32 Inch Prototype Bike24:26 Ratio Modular Derailleur28:35 Going Electronic Shifting36:36 Trinity Trio and E-Bike Test38:36 Tributary Tire Experiment39:09 Schwalbe Radials Wishlist40:01 California Trip Plans41:05 Brompton On Singletrack42:52 Picking Radial Tire Models46:00 Radial Pressure Benefits46:34 Bike Industry News Roundup48:24 Mo Wilson Media Talk54:54 Salsa Fargo And Flyway57:04 Titanium Vs Carbon Parts01:00:42 St Joe Event Food Plan01:05:03 Trinity Trio Rider Story01:08:58 Gravel To MTB Pipeline01:12:48 Bike Lanes And Traffic Vibes01:15:48 DFW Airport And Costco Rant01:19:43 Wrap Up And Ride Bikes

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with Captain John Irwin of Fly Right Charters about matching rods, reels, line, and technique into a complete fishing system for inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing.John shares how a lifetime of fishing, from freshwater and fly fishing as a kid to guiding full time in the Charleston area since 2002, shaped his approach to tackle selection and made versatility a core part of his business. As a guide who splits time between fly and conventional fishing, he brings a broad perspective to building outfits that truly fit the application.They break down how he thinks about pairing rods and reels for real world performance, including why longer, softer tipped spinning rods help cast light artificials farther to spooky shallow water fish, why shorter rods shine around docks and close targets, and how reel size, spool design, braid, and leader choice all work together to improve casting, balance, and fishability.On the broader tackle side, John explains why durability and system balance matter more than specs on paper, how he rigs for everything from redfish and sheepshead to cobia and bottom species, and why investing in quality reels that can be serviced over time pays off for anglers and rod builders alike.Mastering Rod Building is brought to you by Anglers Resource — your source for genuine Fuji Tackle components.Where to buy genuine FUJI®️ rod components (Area Distributors)Japan: FIRST Corporation — https://first-fuji.co.jp/ • mail@first-fuji.co.jpAmerican Continent (North & South America): Anglers Resource — https://anglersresource.net/ • info@anglersresource.netOceania: Frogleys Offshore — https://fujitackle.com.au • enquiries@frogleysoffshore.com.auSpain/Czech/Finland/Sweden/Estonia/Latvia/Poland/Denmark/Belgium/Germany/Netherlands/Ireland/Luxembourg/France/Portugal/UK/Norway/Belarus/Ukraine/Russia:: CALICO S.A.

Send a textIn this spontaneous edition of the road.cc Podcast, Ryan is joined by Jack Sexty, Mat Brett and Stu Kerton to discuss Shimano's surprising revamp of its popular fourth tier Tiagra groupset. The reason this is so surprising to us is not just because we were left to surmise that the groupset would eventually be phased out - it's because we were all but told this would be the case in a presentation distributed to the media shortly before the launch of Shimano CUES, the company's range of 9-, 10- and 11-speed components aimed at more recreational riders and commuting.  In that presentation, Shimano said its 'mid-tier' road and mountain bike groupsets (below 105 and SLX level) would be unified under the CUES brand, which surely meant Tiagra, Sora and Claris would be chopped... but now we've been told that's not what was being said, and Shimano never explicitly said Tiagra would be phased out. Could have fooled us! Shimano also introduced a mechanical, 12-speed Shimano 105 groupset when it said that wouldn't happen following the launch of 105 Di2  in 2022... so, is all this flip-flopping and U-turning a worrying sign for the world's largest manufacturer of bicycle components, or is it a good thing that a company of Shimano's size can improvise and give the people what they're asking for? The road.cc tech nerds dig into the details based off what they know so far. 

This week on the GCN Show, we dive into the "prohibitive" cost of cycling and investigate if the sport is actually cheaper than ever thanks to a booming second-hand market. We also explore a bizarre new scientific study suggesting that training in a hot tub could significantly boost your FTP. Plus, Dan recounts the moment he was overtaken by a World Champion while riding flat-out, and we take a look at Shimano's latest "self-tightening" shoe patent.

Have you experienced certain models of Shimano 12-speed chains rusting more easily than expected? It's one of many topics in this week's Geek Warning, the cycling tech podcast from Escape Collective. This week, Suvi, Alex, and Dave also discuss limitations and concerns regarding the fast-arriving 32in wheels. There's talk of new bikes. And what we carry for fixing tubeless punctures. Those on our member-only feeds also get access to Ask a Wrench, where this week Colorado-based pro mechanic Colin Williams joins Dave for the first time. Happy geeking! Time stamps: 1:40 - Trek's new XC bike has been spotted 6:40 - Big (32”) wheels continue to gain momentum, but maybe we should pump the brakes?  18:00 -  Basso's new gravel bike  22:30 - Do 12-speed Shimano chains have a rust issue?  31:00 - Tubeless tyre plugging  42:30 - What we've finished working on  45:00 - Ask a Wrench (Member-only, with pro mechanic Colin Williams)  46:00 - When cutting carbon goes wrong  51:00 - Are there short-cuts to setting up SRAM Transmission?  58:40 - Tips for gravel racing in sand  1:04:00 - Specialized FutureShock headset tips

After spending a few thousand miles on the new Shimano GRX/XTR Di2 mullet (yep, flows right off the tongue), Drew Van Kampen and Logan Jones-Wilkins dig deep into their feelings, sensations, and opinions around the new electronic offering from the Japanese component giant. In line with their reviews of the SRAM XPLR update, a detailed look at the TRP Vistar/Classified groupset, and hopefully more reviews to come, Drew and Logan looked at the groupset from a few different perspectives. This time, both also made some big claims on how it all stacks up against other groupsets, a small tangent into crank lengths and power meters, and one (1) small rant on the pursuit of 13 speeds.

Big wheels, a product recall, and another rant about poor bike design – oh yes, it's time for Geek Warning.This week Dave and Ronan return to your digital radios. On the list is a sneaky disappearance of a liked SRAM product, news from UCI regarding 32in wheels, and a recall from Trek.
