Podcasts about SRAM

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.

On this week's episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the biggest tech stories in cycling this week. Leading with the news that Giant bikes are being held at the US border due to allegations of forced labour and “undercutting American businesses”, Jack and Simon discuss the biggest tech tidbits from the Sea Otter Europe trade show and explain why SRAM has taken legal action against the UCI.  Wrapping things up, Jack and Simon discuss last week's top news story – as voted by your clicks – and Jack explains why, in his opinion, loud freehubs are an abomination.

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. As a reminder, only members of Escape Collective get access to this section of the podcast.Happy geeking!Time stamps:1:00 - A hypothetical question5:30 - SRAM taking the UCI to court, explained (plus a big rumour)10:15 - Waiting on an update to the UCI's handlebar ruling (now out of date since recording)13:00 - Ronan ponders Dave's dream workshop wish 25:00 - PSA that alignment markings on bars may be fictional plus an explainer on road shifter alignment38:00 - Rotor returns to the groupset game, sorta40:15 - Further update on SRAM's Transmission firmware update41:40 - Trek's CheckOut, a full suspension gravel bike43:15 - RockShox's matching Rudy XL45:00 - RLS helmet safety system and Canyon growing the full-service side of the business48:30 - Lezyne enters the rear Radar game50:00 - Ask a Wrench (Escape members only)52:30 - Shimano Di2 rear shifting woes58:30 - Adding shifters to SRAM AXS1:04:00 - Greasing posts and cleaning seat tubes

SRAM take the UCI to court, Factor threaten to pull their sponsorship and we get all the gossip from Chris' Australian National Masters Criterium Championship win over the weekend.

Today on the show: Remco made it three in a row as he passed Pogačar by, SRAM is suing the UCI and we have an update on the Israel-Premier Tech situation.

Nuestra reciente visita a la última edición de Sea Otter Europe en Girona nos lleva a hablar no solo de este evento de éxito, sino también de la situación de la industria de la bicicleta en España, a través de los datos comunicado en el II Barómetro del Sector de la Bicicleta publicados por AMBE. También recordamos nuestro paso por la cumbre de IMBA Europe celebrada días atrás en Boltaña (Huesca), cita obligada para analizar y mejorar la situación del MTB en nuestros territorios, así como su relación con el entorno natural y rural. Tampoco nos dejamos atrás la enésima polémica en la que se ha visto envuelta la UCI en los últimos días, con motivo de la denuncia que ha interpuesto SRAM en contra de la medida de limitar los desarrollos en competición. Aún así, todavía nos queda tiempo para analizar algunas de las novedades de producto de los últimos días, como la nueva Trek Checkpoint+ SL, y otras muchas que hemos podido 'palpar' en Sea Otter como la BH GravelX Alu, el Orbea RS Control System, la tecnología DT Swiss DF o el nuevo grupo Rotor UNO para MTB y gravel.

When Escape Collective first launched, Ronan Mc Laughlin announced plans for an aero leaderboard. The goal was to test race bikes in real-world conditions using the latest testing tools to determine which bikes are the fastest. That obviously didn't come to fruition, and this week, Dave and Ronan discuss why. The conversation leads to the two discussing how they approach reviews and the anxieties that surround them.The geeks also have a PSA, Dave attempts to explain pedal kickback in mountain bikes to Ronan, and there's chat of SRAM's speed update for Transmission.Members of Escape Collective (via the member podcast feed) get the full episode, which contains Ask a Wrench. This week Dave answers a handful of member-submitted questions, which this week relate to bottom brackets, servicing hydraulic disc brakes, and cassette wear.Time stamps:2:00 - Why bike reviews can't have conclusive answers26:00 - PSA related to replacing disc brake pads31:00 - DT Swiss' new DF system and pedal kickback explained39:30 - A quiet release from SRAM that speeds up Transmission shift speed50:00 - Ask a Wrench (member-only feed)50:00 - Specialized's OSBB explained56:30 - Cassette wear and how to measure for it1:04:00 - SRAM Road Hydro lever service1:11:00 - Buying a bike with a BB86 bottom bracket

Yewande Adesida grew up in London and is a self-described “up-and-coming amateur” cyclist who is currently undertaking her PhD on wearable technology in sport.Previously a former competitive rower, Yewande switched her focus to cycling - specifically track cycling in a velodrome - in 2016 and started racing in 2017.Just 2 years later, in 2019, and while still a relatively unknown face on the global stage, SRAM (which is one of the biggest and most well-known brands in cycling) decided to feature Yewande as the star of one of its global marketing campaigns.As you can imagine, in a sport where marketing imagery has traditionally involved skinny white men, SRAM's campaign featuring Yewande both very quickly raised her profile in the sport and the discussion about the importance of the representation of people of colour in a sport and industry that desperately needs more diversity.

This week, Ronan and Dave ponder how they would equip an entry-level road bike, and while chatting, realise that maybe the industry has backed itself into a costly corner.Of course, there's a PSA and a bunch of tech news to discuss. Meanwhile, members of Escape Collective get access to Ask a Wrench, where this week Dave and Zach Edwards answer four member-submitted technical questions.Enjoy!Time stamps:3:15 - How would we spec an entry-level road race bike22:30 - A PSA to grease your axles27:20 - Cervelo's new R530:40 - Castelli's PFAS-free poor weather jacket37:00 - SRAM's 1987 Limited Edition Silver group38:00 - What's coming up, plus Escape gets a much-wanted feature42:00 - Ask a Wrench (member's only)44:00 - Suspension service intervals and not riding50:00 - Breaking chainring bolts56:00 - Using a shorter fork on a modern XC bike1:01:30 - Why are aero wheels not a thing in fast MTB races?

El verano a veces nos deja semanas con pocas novedades de material y producto, pero siempre hay noticias. En este caso nos hacemos eco, lo primero, de la retirada del gran Nino Schurter, un mito viviente del MTB que pone fin a su carrera con 10 Campeonatos del Mundo, 9 triunfos en la general de la Copa del Mundo, 36 victorias en carreras de la Copa del Mundo, medalla de oro, plata y bronce en Juegos Olímpicos (y 5 participaciones)... ¿el GOAT? ¿El mejor de todos los tiempos? Además, es un hombre ligado prácticamente durante toda su carrera a un mismo equipo y una misma marca y eso nos ha dado para debatir también sobre el legado de un país como Suiza en el MTB. También comentamos el nuevo prototipo de motor SRAM que se ha visto en el Crankworx de Whistler. En realidad es un prototipo muy prototipo, que nos ha servido para debatir y elucubrar sobre los pasos que está dando la marca americana en los sistemas de asistencia después de que su lanzamiento anterior fuese con Brose y la compra de la marca alemana por parte de Yamaha poco después. Aprovechamos también para hacer un poco de repaso a la situación de los sistemas de asistencia, prestaciones, regulaciones, etc. En cuanto a la actualidad, Santa Cruz ha lanzado una edición especial de su Bullit, con menos de 100 unidades a la venta, que equipa la nueva horquilla FOX Podium; y Mondraker nos ha presentado una nueva colección textil.

Pred Dnevom spomina na žrtve totalitarizmov, ki ga obeležujemo 24. avgusta, je avtor Jože Bartolj razmišljal o slovenski realnosti in tako različnem dojemanju pomena tega dne.

This week on EYE ON NPI we're featuring some open source hardware from one of our favorite hardware manufacturers! It's the Arduino Nano R4 System on Module (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/arduino/nano-r4) a miniaturized version of the Arduino UNO R4 and Minima (https://blog.adafruit.com/2023/07/27/eye-on-npi-arduino-uno-r4-minima-and-uno-r4-wifi-boards-digikey-arduino-digikey-adafruit/) versions we covered on EYE ON NPI about two years ago! taking a cue from popular 'castellated single side' PCB proto boards on the market, the Nano comes in two options, one with headers (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00143/26766495) for easy installation into existing Arduino Nano expansion kits or breadboards, and one with reflowable castellations (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00142/26766490) The Arduino Nano (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/A000005/2638989) is second only to the UNO as the definitive Arduino board that 'everyone got started with'. Many folks would start with the chunky UNO and then migrate to the Nano to get something that plugs into a breadboard for compact assembly. With a USB connector on one end, button and LEDs and programming header on the top, this board powered tens of thousands of builds. So it's not surprising that Arduino iterated on this design with a wide variety of chips like the RP2040 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00052/14123941) and ESP32 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00092/21219771) The latest generation is the Renesas RA4M1 series - which updates the original ATmega328 8-bit microcontroller to a beefy Cortex M4 with FPU. You get 48MHz clock, 256KB of Flash, 32KB of SRAM, ADC, DAC, CAN, captouch and other extras. The FPU in particular makes it a nice upgrade to the cortex M0/M0+. The best part is that with the 5V logic support of the R7FA4M1AB3CFM (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/renesas-electronics-corporation/R7FA4M1AB3CFM-AA0/10447195), it makes for a great drop-in replacement when a 3V logic chip like the RP2040/ESP32 won't work as well. Plus you get lots of nice linear ADCs, the RP2040 only has 4 and the ESP32's are non-linear and sometimes don't work when WiFi is active. We also love that they added a Qwiic (https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic) connector on the end! We use this for all our Stemma QT sensors, and between the many companies that have joined in the ecosystem there are easily a thousand different ons/displays/accessories that can plug in directly for instant expansion. If you want to get the latest Nano from the manufacturer of genuine Arduino boards, DigiKey is a authentic distributor and has tons of the Arduino Nano R4 (https://www.digikey.com/short/3brjrnjp) in stock right now for (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ASX00061/26744081) immediate shipment! Pick from the castellated flat or soldered-header variety, and don't forget to also grab some Arduino Nano accessories to get your design prototyped fast. Order today and your Nano will fly out of the DigiKey warehouse and arrive at your doorstep by tomorrow morning.

Speaking of friends at KetoneAid, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all who continue to support the show with your hard earned dollars by picking up some of your favorite products from any number of our amazing show sponsors. We love hearing from our partners that y'all are straight up killing it with the use of those discount codes because it truly does help us keep this thing rolling. None of us have actually taken any pieces from the pie personally yet, however, having some play money allows us to do cool things like upgrade equipment when we need it, pay for professional producing so your boy doesn't have to go back to receiving hate mail every week for the shoddy edit jobs I was doing back in the old days, we also get to use those funds to come to events and meet with some of y'all in person (like Leadville in a few weeks, Chequamegon the month after, I'm sure a few of us will be down at Big Sugar again to witness Dylan having NOT fun at the gravel rave, and you better believe we're bringing the heat to the legendary Iceman in November). Also, if you stick around to the end of the show you'll hear a teaser for a new spin off podcast that will be launching here soon, so just another example of those funds going to cool things. That said, if you're new here I'll just quickly rattle off a few of our continued supporters so you can hop on the discount code train along with our boy Dizzle who's always shopping those sales. We've got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always mixing it up with fun discount codes to share with y'all with the latest code being “Bonkbrosjuly2025”. For that silky smooth shave experience check out our homies over at Bolk Skin + Shave (code: "BROS15") For all of your bicycle tire and accessory shopping needs head over to Bike Tires Direct (or BTD as we call them) and use code “bonkbros” Just a couple more here for y'all like I mentioned at the top of the show KetoneAid who is killing the game in ketone energy (link in the show notes: https://ketoneaid.com/?utm_source=BonkBros). JOIN CYCLING, the latest AI training platform to come in and help get you faster on the bike (and hopefully healthier off the bike too). Head over to join.cc/ bonkbros to check out their programs.

It's Tour time and tech editor Ronan McLaughlin has been on the ground capturing all the latest little tricks and tidbits. In this week's Geek Warning, Dave Rome, and Ronan get together to talk through some of the bigger tech stories and finds coming from the biggest race.Within you'll hear about new bikes from Merida and Cervelo, some behind-the-scenes sponsorship movements, how front derailleurs are becoming less common, and why the UCI's handlebar width ruling is likely set to change (again).In Ask a Wrench, members of Escape Collective will hear pro race mechanic Brad Copeland and Dave Rome answer questions related to rust-proofing steel frames, solving for a drooping chain, and how to solve the dreaded disc brake turkey gobble. As an added bonus, you'll hear Brad's impression of a turkey.Time stamps:2:00 - Merida's unreleased Reacto5:50 - Cervelo's new S5 and Ronan's early impressions14:20 - Cervelo has a new R5 coming, too18:30 - Musical Saddles of Sponsorships26:00 - Updates inbound for the UCI's handlebar width change?37:45 - 1x gearing is on the rise47:00 - Ask a Wrench with Brad Copeland (members only)48:30 - Rust-protecting a steel frame52:30 - Chain droop when riding in smaller cassette cogs1:03:00 - Fixing the SRAM brake turkey gobble

From the spark of an idea in an engineer's mind to becoming one of the most talked about innovations in mountain biking, this is the story of OChain. Today, we go behind the scenes with Fabrizio Dragoni, the creator of the OChain system, and James Alberts, MTB Category Director from SRAM, to find out how this radical concept became a reality and why SRAM saw enough potential to bring it under their wing. This is about passion, persistence, and pushing the boundaries of what a bike can feel like. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Fabrizio Dragoni and James Alberts.

For our E-Ink display breakout boards, we add an SRAM chip onboard to help buffer the display. Unlike TFTs that have built-in video RAM, EPDs require writing the full memory at once—which can get into multi-KBs. For many modern chips, up to 64KB of video RAM isn't a big deal, but for small, low-cost micros like Arduino, that's a lot! Since EPDs are slow anyway, we can use an external SRAM chip for fast write/read—an ideal solution.

Shimano's *mostly* new GRX Di2 12-speed group is the Japanese giant's first single-ring drivetrain for gravel, and it borrows tech from the mountain bike world to make it happen. Senior tech editor Alvin Holbrook has unboxed, installed, and ridden GRX Di2, and this week's episode sees the crew dive into his early impressions on shift speed, gear range, and how it compares to SRAM's wireless offerings. BMC had also just released a new, lighter and even more climbing-focused Teammachine SLR ahead of the Tour de France, while Orbea launched the revamped Terra Race gravel bike. We've ridden both bikes and Josh, Alvin, and Levy break down how they perform and who they best suit.

Jesse heads to the wind tunnel and tests cheap wheels and wide tyres, we break down the results. The UCI have their sights on banning more things, while SRAM and Cervelo launch new products.

TRP's new Vistar drivetrain combines a 12-speed cassette with a Classified internally geared hub to give you the benefits of a front derailleur without the hassle and complication, but does it work in the real world? Senior Tech Editor Josh Ross has spent months using it and explains the benefits, drawbacks, and how the hybrid 1X system compares to a traditional drivetrain. Josh has also been riding the new SRAM Force and Rival drivetrains that aim to bring the performance of Red down to a lower price point; he describes the differences between each group and tells Levy why Force is the answer. Cervelo also just released their Aspero-5 gravel race bike that trades tire clearance and comfort for pure aero-focused speed, which is the opposite approach that we're seeing with most new designs. Alvin has been testing the fresh Aspero and explains why this new "gravel bike" might be the ideal all-road machine for many riders. Lastly, the crew debates the UCI's strange new tech mandates that limit handlebar width, fork leg geometry, rim height, and aero helmets, all of which are intended to slow racers down and increase safety. But are yet more rules really the answer, and how do the UCI's decisions affect what consumers can purchase?  For your consideration: TRP Vistar with Classified Stacks up to the Big Groupset Players, but There's a Catch SRAM Force AXS First Ride: RED Gets a Discount SRAM Rival AXS XPLR First Ride: 13-Speed Gets Cheaper First Ride: Cervelo Áspero-5 Is a Fast Gravel Bike That Might Just Replace Your Road Bike New UCI Gear Rules Incoming: Rim Height Limits, Minimum Bar Widths, and a Tech Fraud Crackdown

Wow, what a week for those who love cycling tech!If four new dropbar groupsets from SRAM weren't enough, then Shimano certainly fills that glass with its sudden release of XT and Deore Di2. Join Escape's Dave Rome, Suvi Loponen and Alex Hunt as they discuss what's new and some things to be aware of.Meanwhile, the UCI released some upcoming rule changes that have many riders and cycling businesses upset.

Arduino. Founded in Italy twenty years ago by a group of visionary educators and engineers, Arduino was born out of a desire to democratize electronics and make it accessible to everyone. Named after a bar in Ivrea, the platform started with hand-assembled circuit boards for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII). The founders—Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, David Mellis, Tom Igoe, and Gianluca Martino—made key decisions to keep the hardware and software open-source, ensuring that anyone could learn, create, and innovate.   The result is… a world where anyone, regardless of their technical background, can create electronic projects that once seemed out of reach. This is the world that Arduino has made possible.   The significance of Arduino extends far beyond its technical specifications. It has lowered barriers of entry, making electronics affordable and accessible. Its massive open-source community fosters sharing and innovation, sparking the Maker movement and encouraging creation over consumption. Arduino has become a platform, bridging disciplines like art, design, engineering, and computer science, and enabling rapid prototyping. Its impact is felt in education, product development, and the philosophy of technology accessibility.   Arduino has inspired a global movement, empowering hobbyists, students, artists, and professionals to bring their ideas to life. It has influenced modern IoT and smart devices, proving that with the right tools, anyone can be an innovator. Arduino's choice of the AVR ATmega168 and later the ATmega328P microcontrollers was pivotal. These microcontrollers offered a balance of performance, cost, and ease of use, featuring 8-bit architecture, flash memory, SRAM, EEPROM, and built-in peripherals like timers, ADC, PWM, UART, SPI, and I2C. This made them ideal for a wide range of applications, from simple projects to complex prototypes.   What happens next is anybody's guess, but the frontiers spawned by the Shockley's and Moore's of the world, with their advanced educations and access to vast amounts of capital, are giving way to the kid in their bedroom, tinkering with a board and a laptop, intent on building a thing – turning their imagination into reality through simple advancements in integrated circuits, sensors, and open-source software.   How can Microchip Technology fuel the ethos of the Do-It-Yourself Maker movement?

Payson stops by XCO National Champion Bjorn Riley's apartment in Girona to hear about his training camp in South Africa with his new team, the one and only Scott-SRAM. They also discuss the part of winning a race that people don't often talk about: the terrifying moment when you decide to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Then, Bjorn pulls out some of the artifacts he's found in abandoned buildings on rides in the Spanish countryside and recounts his experience of getting bitten by Europe's only deadly snake species while on a training ride last year and needing to get airlifted to a hospital. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen
