In person and pondering new Dura-Ace

This week sees a big first for the Geek Warning podcast as the entirety of Escape Collective’s tech crew meet up in person over in Takayama, Japan. With that, we recorded live in front of a select group of Escape members! It’s certainly been a huge week on the tech front for our entire tech team to be away riding bikes at the annual Member Summit. Not only is the Vuelta a España in its first week (where new Dura-Ace prototypes were seen), we also had the last Mountain Bike World Cup round prior to the World Championships. And if that wasn’t enough, MADE was held over in Portland, Oregon, the past weekend. Given the special circumstances, our usual member-only ‘Ask a Wrench’ segment was replaced with an ‘Ask us anything’ from the live audience. Be sure to listen on the member-only feed for the full episode. So with that, join the tech crew of Alex Hunt, Jack Duncan, Ronan Mc Laughlin, and Dave Rome to hear about the week in tech. And yes, Suvi Loponen was there, but sadly couldn’t jump on the recording. Time stamps: 00:03:30 - New Dura-Ace R9300 breaks cover 00:23:00 - Leadville wasn’t the expected 32er domination, and that doesn’t matter 00:33:05 - Fox is seemingly returning to electronic suspension for cross-country 00:35:00 - Abbey Bike Tools’ new budget disc brake mount facer isn’t quite it 00:40:30 - Going into the member-only section with a live audience 00:42:00 - Ask us Anything! 00:44:00 - Are carbon spokes a fad? 00:50:00 - Silca’s entry to tires 00:53:00 - Can grease be too thick? 00:55:00 - Is there any further tech that road should expect from MTB? 01:03:30 - How are we addressing the spectrum of gravel?

What the Tour of Britain can tell us about the upcoming Worlds

The five-day Tour of Britain wrapped up on Sunday, and of the five stages, four were won by one ever-dominant rider. The one stage where another shone was a masterclass in bike racing tactics, but even though two riders topped the race, others proved they are coming into form just in time for the World Championships in Montreal in a few weeks.

Industry Special EP4: Survivors and what comes next

Episode 4 of this special industry series looks ahead at the future of the cycling industry after years of volatility. We draw on dozens of interviews with distributors, brand leaders, retailers, and skeptics to explore where growth might come from, who won’t survive, and how pricing, Chinese brands, regulation, and community will reshape the landscape. It’s a candid, sometimes uncomfortable, but ultimately optimistic look at what’s next for the bike world. Note that this episode is cut off part way through and the full audio is available to our Escape Collective members who fund our work. If you'd like to become a member, please go to https://escapecollective.com/overnightsuccess to receive a 50% discount on your membership for a limited time while this series is running. Last but not least, we'll be doing a Q&A episode. Please submit your questions here: https://escapecollective.com/hello/

Bonus: The business of batch-built versus custom metal bikes

It’s time for another bonus edition of Geek Warning. This chat is a brief opener to our upcoming coverage of Made, North America’s Custom Bicycle Show. Held this coming weekend (21-23rd of August), the Portland-based show has grown to be a key event on the calendar for bike lovers, tech nerds, makers, and the like. A show like this also consistently serves as a crystal ball into emerging segments and tech trends. One such trend is the emergence of custom frame builders offering pre-built options. In the USA, a number of local frame builders have reduced purchase barriers by offering set models and stock geometry options. The likes of No.22, Moots, and Stinner are all examples of this. Meanwhile, one of the most prestigious names in the titanium space has now joined the list - Mosaic. For this chat, Dave Rome is joined by Mosaic’s founder Aaron Barcheck, along with chief vibe officer (and founder) of Made, Billy Sinkford. A heads up that the timing of publishing this episode coincides with Mosaic’s announcement of a 32er gravel bike and its accompanying launch of its own carbon component brand – Zero. The news of this only broke after we recorded this episode and so these products aren’t discussed within. We may do a dedicated chat covering those interesting products in the future.

Aero bottles are often a step too far

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

Rumours all around and the aero cost of being in the Yellow jersey

It’s the first week of the Tour and Escape’s geeks are seemingly all down different rabbit holes. This week, Dave Rome is joined by new hire Jack Duncan to talk through the week in cycling tech, which seems to involve a handful of juicy rumours. From rumours of new Dura-Ace to big wheels from big brands, there’s a lot to chew on. Dave and Jack also discuss airbag tech that keeps circling big budget teams. And there’s some tool talk for the wrench-enthusiasts. The free episode wraps up with Jack jumping on a call with aero clothing expert Johannes Rom Dahl (of Fusion) to try to get an answer on whether being in Yellow (or another leader jersey) has an aero disadvantage.
