Podcasts about Shimano

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.

L'industrie du vélo au Québec en 2026 avec deux insiders : Martin Rancourt (représentant Cannondale & cofondateur Big Red) et Clément Sollier (Shimano & Scratch via l'Agence Hors Catégorie). On parle du nouveau Cannondale SuperSix EVO Gen 5, de l'écosystème Shimano CUES, du retour du CAAD en aluminium, de l'état réel du marché post-pandémie, de la montée du gravel aventure au Québec, et de pourquoi tu devrais venir au Salon du Vélo de Montréal du 20 au 22 février 2026! Un épisode aussi geek qu'accessible — que tu sois cycliste aguerri ou simplement curieux.

Todavía seguimos con la resaca del especial de La Vecilla, uno de los programas más descargados de la temporada, y regresamos con una nueva edición de RÍO DE LA VIDA cargada de contenido, reflexión y pesca con sentido.Arrancamos el programa analizando en profundidad la situación de la pesca recreativa en la Costa Tropical, completando el trabajo que ya iniciamos desde el plano jurídico y asociativo, y dando hoy el paso definitivo hacia el enfoque técnico y medioambiental.

La salida de Shimano de Eurobike 2026 deja a la feria alemana en una situación complicada. Esto nos lleva de nuevo a debatir sobre las ferias sectoriales de la bicicleta y cual sería el formato más acertado para todos los actores. En Eurobike, precisamente, pero hace dos años, ZF presentó su incursión en las e-bikes con el revolucionario motor CentriX que, en teoría, iba a llegar al mercado sobre las bicicletas Raymon en 2025. Pero tras diversos retrasos y dudas, el gigante alemán procedente de la automoción ha decidido suspender su división de e-bikes. Y con ello, dejar en el limbo un sistema de asistencia que pintaba muy bien. Pero no todo son malas noticias. También analizamos una de las e-enduro más potentes, en todos los sentidos, de los últimos meses. La Pivot Shuttle LT Gen 3, que destaca por una capacidad de personalización geométrica casi inagotable. El mundo de los componentes y los accesorios también se ha comenzado a mover en este inicio de año con la nueva gama de lentes Ridescape de Shimano para gravel, carretera y MTB, o las nuevas ruedas de Cadex, las Ultra 40, todo un ejercicio de ligereza y aerodinámica para carretera. Este episodio cuenta con el patrocinio de Canyon y su renovada Spectral:ON, que vuelve en 2026 mejor que nunca. Llega con una nueva batería de 800 Wh con carcasa de aluminio, más robusta y segura, mantiene el formato mullet y monta el fiable motor Shimano EP801. Todo ello con una gran relación calidad-precio que arranca en 3.999 €, demostrando que la e-MTB de alto nivel puede ser accesible.

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.

La feria belga de VeloFollies, celebrada el fin de semana pasado, nos ha dejado un buen puñado de novedades y curiosidades. Comenzamos con los primeros neumáticos de 32'' desarrollados por Schwalbe... para gravel. Un producto ya acabado, que todavía tardará en llegar a las tiendas, pero que nos sirve de nuevo para reabrir el debate sobre ese diámetro de rueda. Pinarello y su atrevida Grevil MX de gravel (o XC con manillar curvo, según lo quieras ver...) también ha estado en el punto de mira estos días, sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que destacadas competiciones de MTB en EEUU, como Leadville 100 MTB y Little Sugar MTB, y han prohibido la participación de bicicletas de XC con manillar curvo. Sin dejar VeloFollies, otro de los puntos de atención estuvo en el stand de Van Rysel y su espectacular FTP² montada con sistema de asistencia Mahle M40. Una 'concept bike' diseñada para llevar al límite los conceptos aerodinámicos y de rendimiento. Y cerramos con diversas novedades que también han dado que hablar estos días, como la Mondraker Crafty Gulf Edition, los nuevos pedales 'mixtos' de Shimano o el nuevo y avanzado casco urbano de Lazer. Este episodio cuenta con el patrocinio de la Marcha Madrid–Segovia MTB. Recuerda que el 23 de mayo tienes una cita con una de las pruebas de Mountain Bike más emblemáticas del calendario que une Madrid y Segovia a golpe de pedal. Las inscripciones ya están abiertas, con dos recorridos a elegir, de 60 y 117 kilómetros, para que participes según tu nivel y objetivos.

Iedere product owner stelt zichzelf vroeg of laat dezelfde vraag: hoe word ik beter in mijn werk? Of je nu junior bent of al jaren ervaring hebt, groei blijft een continu proces. In deze aflevering spreekt Ruud met Stijn Bossink, product owner bij Intergamma (Gamma & Karwei). Hij werkte eerder bij Shimano, Prominent en Timing en deelt openhartig over zijn eigen ontwikkelpad: de fouten die hem verder hielpen, de momenten waarop hij echt groeide en de vaardigheden die hij moest aanleren. Samen onderzoeken Ruud en Stijn wat vakvolwassenheid betekent, hoe je als PO weet waar je staat, hoe je van junior naar ervaren ontwikkelt en wat voor omgeving leidinggevenden moeten creëren om product owners te laten groeien. Een eerlijk gesprek over leren, experimenteren, vallen en opstaan en wat je kunt doen om je ontwikkeling doelgericht te versnellen. In deze aflevering hebben we het over: persoonlijke groei, vakvolwassenheid, leerervaringen, product owner skills, leiderschap & omgeving, doorgroeipad PO Over deze podcast: In de Product Owner podcast spreken we elke week met een interessante gast uit de wereld van product management en gaan we in op echte ervaringen, lessen en tactieken van product owners, ondernemers en specialisten. De Product Owner podcast is een initiatief van Productowner.nl

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. Some time on the tools has Dave ranting about a particularly bad example of internal cable routing, and of course, there's a PSA.Members of Escape Collective get access to the full episode, which includes our popular Ask a Wrench segment (this week with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland). Just a note that we had an audio issue, and so Ask a Wrench this week has us answering two questions rather than the usual three. Still, there's plenty of ground covered.Happy geeking!Time stamps:4:00 - SRAM quietly discontinues older AXS rim brake options7:20 - UCI leaves the door open to 32in wheels in MTB12:00 - Trek's big recall of little things17:10 - Rant time from Dave24:00 - PSA for another place to look for a creak29:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members Only)32:00 - Corrections Corner for the previous Ask a Wrench34:00 - Can a chainring wear out before a chain?41:00 - Shimano 105 shifter levers not engaging

Season 5, episodio 12. Hoy tocaba capítulo exclusivo para mecenas, pero cuando llega una entrevista así… se mueve todo.Tras las charlas con Daniel Escaño y Rubén Espinosa seguimos en la misma línea: nutrición, fuerza, entrenamiento físico y, esta semana, el elemento que casi todos olvidan. La cabeza.Hoy nos visita uno de los grandes pioneros del mountain bike europeo. Un corredor que marcó una época en el XC internacional. Ganador de la Copa de Europa en 2001, diez años en la Selección Italiana Elite, siete podios en los Campeonatos de Italia y uno de los responsables de introducir la rueda 29 pulgadas en el mundo del racing europeo en 2011. También fue quien desarrolló el primer aro de 30 milímetros de canal para XC, un estándar que hoy usa toda la industria.Tras su etapa como atleta se convirtió en responsable técnico y desarrollador de producto en FRM y más tarde consultor para marcas que buscaban innovación real. Y ahora dirige Piraz Coaching Academy, la primera academia online dedicada en exclusiva a MTB y e-MTB, donde une metodología deportiva, técnica de pilotaje y entrenamiento mental con un objetivo: sacar la mejor versión del ciclista.En esta entrevista repasamos su trayectoria, su visión del material, el proceso de pasar de atleta a coach y entramos a fondo en lo que más nos interesa. El trabajo mental aplicado al ciclismo.Cómo gestionar la presión previa a una carrera. Cómo reconstruir la confianza tras una caída o una mala racha. Qué errores mentales cometen la mayoría de ciclistas amateur. Cómo entrenar la cabeza cuando no se tiene mucho tiempo. Y por qué la técnica también es un entrenamiento mental.Una conversación honesta, práctica y muy útil para cualquier ciclista que quiera competir mejor, entrenar mejor o simplemente disfrutar más de la bici.Además del invitado, repasamos nuestras movidas habituales:Las Hoka nuevas de Charly, el camión de Shimano que nos ha llegado al estudio con material tope de gama, todo lo que viene en el calendario de carreras, la FarWest con sus novedades UCI, y las historias de la comunidad en Vuestras Mierdas.Cerramos con DestinoCape: ya tenemos vuelos a Sudáfrica para la Cape Epic gracias a SolJet Viajes. Doce horas de viaje, trece personas y Emirates de por medio. Se viene aventura.Si te interesa el trabajo mental, la evolución del MTB o simplemente te apetece aprender de alguien que ha estado arriba del todo y que ahora ayuda a otros a llegar, este episodio te va a gustar.Puedes seguir al invitado aquí:Instagram de Mirko Pirazzoli: https://www.instagram.com/mirkopirazzoli/Nos escuchamos dentro.

Welcome back, geeks!This week's episode is a bit of a mixed bag, with Dave and Ronan kicking things off with a chat about Giant's flagship factory. Things then jump to South Africa, where Escape's CEO Wade Wallace sits down with racer and occasional tech contributor Kevin Bekenstein to chat tech at the inaugural Gravel Burn stage race.Finally, members of Escape Collective will hear the return of Brad Copeland in the Ask a Wrench segment.Time stamps:2:30 - Dave's trip to Taiwan6:30 - Touring Giant's flagship facility14:45 - Equipment basics for Gravel Burn22:00 - A proven use case for gravel suspension50:00 - Brad Copeland returns for Ask a Wrench (Members only)54:00 - Indoor bike and trainer servicing1:14:00 - Shimano front shifter that keeps getting hard to use.1:27:00 - Long-term storage of mountain bike suspension

Madrone Cycles got its start making parts to repair a variety of SRAM mountain bike derailleurs, but now they're taking on a much more ambitious project: building their own derailleur from the ground up. Third-party derailleurs had a brief run in the earlier days of mountain biking, but SRAM and Shimano have completely dominated the market for decades now. So why is Madrone taking on the big players now, and what sets their new Jab derailleur apart? We sat down with Madrone founder, Aaron Bland, to discuss all that and more.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Founding Madrone & starting with SRAM derailleur rebuilds (1:57)Electronic shifting & the resurgence of third-party mechanical derailleurs (4:02)The hardest details to get right (12:57)Evolution of the Jab design (17:25)Serviceability & Madrone's rebuild service (22:58)Clutch & pivot designs (27:43)Modularity (32:26)Jab options (41:34)What's next from Madrone?

On this week's episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the biggest tech stories in cycling this week. First up, Jack and Simon discuss the UCI's recently updated helmet regulations for the 2026 road racing season. As all too often, the updated rules appear to leave plenty of room for riders and teams to be creative – or perhaps even to keep using certain time trial helmets in road races. They then discuss Shimano's new polished-silver CUES groupset – could it be a sign of more shiny things to come from the Japanese component giant? Following that, Jack grills Simon on the latest piece in his series on the ‘state of play' in hookless rims, and why the professional rider's union wants to see them banned. Lastly, Jack introduces last week's top-performing story on BikeRadar – which also happens to be his ‘rant of the week' – which was the news that the British Transport Police will not investigate bike thefts at train stations where the bike has been left for more than two hours. Needless to say, Jack and Simon aren't impressed.   The UCI has just clarified its new helmet regulations – but it's left me with more questions than a… Is this polished-silver CUES groupset a sign Shimano is finally listening to riders? Pro riders want hookless rims banned – do they have a future in road cycling? Bikes stolen at train stations after being left for more than two hours will not be investigated Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Episode 501 steht ganz im Zeichen der Hausmesse bei Paul Lange & Co in Stuttgart. Wir zeigen euch News von Shimano, Pro, Milremo und Vittoria. Ein Gewinnspiel wartet auch auf euch.

Long-time listeners of Geek Warning are in for a treat as Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) returns for a full episode. Along with Dave Rome and Alex Hunt, there is a whole lot of ultimate bike geek to this week's episode.Within, you'll hear about some unintentionally leaked information related to what's likely the next generation of Shimano road pedals.Dave then takes the conversation to an old favourite topic – chain waxing. Next, those new to cycling or less knowledgeable about the technical aspects may appreciate a dedicated new section that aims to cover topics that bike shop staff frequently repeat multiple times a week. This week, it's all about drip-on wax lubes.Of course there's some industry news to talk about, and finally a decision on the UCIs handlebar width pondering.All of that is free for all, but members of Escape Collective then get access to the Ask a Wrench segment of the podcast. Here, the geeks answer a number of member-submitted technical questions with information that should prove helpful if you're working on bikes or keen to expand your technical knowledge.Happy geeking!Time stamps:01:50 - Is a new generation of Shimano road pedals around the corner?10:40 - Chain waxing temperatures, does it matter?17:00 - Back to basics: Chain lubes31:00 - UCI adjusts and confirms its bar width ruling37:30 - YT set to close42:50 - CSS Composites closing48:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members only)48:30 - Getting perfect shifting with Shimano Tiagra56:30 - Where to begin with modern mountain bike geometry1:04:30 - Shimano 12-speed cassettes and the Adhesive Ring

In this week's BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is once again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the latest hot stories in bike tech.   We kick things off with a Shimano leak that suggests the Japanese brand may be working on a set of power meter pedals for its next generation road groupsets.   Next, we move on to the new Specialized Aethos 2, which has been updated to include full integrated cable routing, wider tyre clearance and a less aggressive geometry. It's also as light and expensive as ever, of course.   We also discuss Tadej Pogačar's tricked-out Colnago Y1Rs from the Rwanda world championships, and speculate why the Slovenian rider switched to Continental's new Archetype tyres for this race.   Finally, instead of ending with a ‘rant of the week', Simon and Jack give a rare shoutout to the UCI for its recently announced cost cap for track cycling bikes and equipment, which will be introduced ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics Games in 2028. I've spotted an unreleased Shimano pedal system – and it looks like the product we've been waiting … The Aethos 2 is the lightest production bike Specialized has ever made at 5.98kg UCI announces price caps for 2028 Olympic track bikes and equipment Tadej Pogačar's tricked-out Colnago Y1Rs for the Rwanda World Championships – new tyres, custom whe… Learn more about your ad choices.

In dieser Episode nehmen wir euch mit auf unseren turbulenten Trip nach Stuttgart: Vom hitzigen Lederhosen-Duell und einer legendären Nacht auf dem Cannstatter Wasen bis zum exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen bei Paul Lange, dem Shimano-Giganten. Wir diskutieren nicht nur, wie unterschiedlich wir Team-Style verstehen, sondern verraten auch, warum Beerdigungen und Bier mehr gemeinsam haben, als ihr denkt. Natürlich bleibt es nicht beim Smalltalk – wir berichten von kuriosen Kneipen, rätselhaften Hotelzimmern und geben ehrliche Einblicke in unsere Teamdynamik.

Will lower gearing make for safer racing? The UCI thinks so, but it could also make all of SRAM's 1X drivetrains verboten at the highest level of competition without affecting Shimano or Campagnolo. SRAM disagrees, obviously, and has begun legal action in Europe, citing reputational damage and EU competition laws. And as you'd expect, the UCI responded yet again. That and more on this week's episode of Velo Podcast. Velo Tech Editor Josh Ross and host Mike Levy dig into the details of the UCI's potential 10.46-meter rollout rule and why SRAM's 10-tooth cog doesn't comply, safer courses versus lower gearing, and the UCI's near silence when it comes to so many issues. We also discuss the UCI president's social media post congratulating Tadej Pogacar on his TT World Champs victory in Rwanda, despite Remco being the actual victor, and we look at Alvin's first impressions of Factor's new Aluto gravel bike.

This week on Geek Warning, Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome discuss why SRAM's battle with the UCI may also prove positive for Shimano.Ronan asks Dave what his workshop wish is, which leads to an unexpected tangent about bike washing. There's, of course, a PSA, which ends up being a conversation about how to align dropbar shifters. And the geeks summarise a bunch of the latest and biggest new tech.Lastly, Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) joins the pod to answer some questions from members in the Ask a Wrench segment.

What's the best road race bike of 2025? Specialized launch new packages of the Sl8, without a Shimano option and Cervelo release a sub-6kg climbing bike, but who is it for?

Our guest this week may sound familiar to our listeners who have been following along with the 2025 Life Time Grand Prix. This year Meredith Miller has been on the commentary team for Unbound Gravel as well as the Leadville MTB 100 races, serving as the voice that colors the race alongside Bill Ross. But her experience in the cycling industry spans much further than announcing races. After her collegiate soccer career ended, Meredith was looking for a new sport to focus her energy on, and decided cycling was a good thing to try. She bought her first bike and joined a race team in the same year, and it wasn't long before she was racing professionally, including a stint of bouncing around Europe on road teams. Meredith eventually made her way back to the US, and won the National Championships on the road in 2009. She also raced cyclocross, co-owned a race team, and worked for an apparel brand, before landing at her current role as the Road Sports Marketing Manager at Shimano. She tells us what prompted her to make the jump to Shimano in the depths of the pandemic, and gives her insight on how the industry has changed for women over the years. As well as a few tips for anyone looking for support from big brands like Shimano.

This week's Velo Podcast takes a tech-heavy turn while Mike Levy is away, while Josh and I (Alvin Holbrook) dive deep into the latest gear, updates, and trends shaping cycling. We kick things off with Wahoo's firmware updates. Credit to Wahoo, here, as they pushed a series of updates to its first-generation bike computers, experiencing mass file corruptions and problems, a long eight years after the first Elemnt computer was released. Next up are the new Shimano S-Phyre RX910 gravel shoes, the brand's first gravel-specific model under its flagship line. At $480, they promise elite-level performance with a supple upper, serious stiffness, and clever pontoons that offer road shoe-like stability. Still, their pedal sensitivity and premium pricing sparked a lively debate on whether “gravel-specific” is worth the investment. We also tested Zwift's new over-ear headphones, boasting 50-hour battery life, sweat resistance, and active noise cancellation. At $249, they're aimed squarely at serious indoor riders, but are they really better than in-ear buds? From there, Josh shares highlights from the MADE Handmade Bike Show in Portland. Standouts included the fillet-brazed artistry of Ira Ryan, the aero-focused, 3D printed titanium No.22 Reactor, and a bold paint scheme from Black Magic. The show reinforced that road and gravel continue to dominate, but also showcased fresh experiments, like Moots' monster-cross machine. Finally, we wrap with a bit of talk before Alvin's last criterium of the season. What bike, wheel, and tire combo should he roll with this weekend? With options like the Canyon Aeroad, Factor Monza, and Specialized Tarmac SL8, plus the latest Roval Rapide CLX III wheels, there's a lot to discuss.
