How hardtail mountain bikes are like cats

On this week's episode of Geek Warning: Specialized says its new Epic World Cup will replace hardtails for racing, and while the bike looks interesting, this isn't the first time we've heard such a thing and hardtails have proven time and again that they've got a lot of lives. Also in this week's show: Wahoo is probably for sale, but who should buy it? Might you soon be taking your e-bike to an auto mechanic for service? Why did Boyd Cycling open up an aluminum rim factory in South Carolina? And James gives a recap of the shiny new stuff – both affordable and expensive – he saw at last week's Sea Otter Classic, along with a PSA on how your DRL might not be providing the visibility you think it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

XC MTB is so hot, even die-hard road brands are getting into it

Modern cross-country mountain bike racing is absolutely on fire these days. The riders are faster, more skilled, and more interesting than ever; the courses are technical and physically demanding; and the bikes are so capable they'd put the "trail bikes" of yesteryear to shame. But one has to look no further than some dyed-in-the-wool road brands to see how hot the segment is right now, because even they're getting into the game. Also, in this week's show: (some) bikes are getting cheaper, there are prototype cross-country suspension forks everywhere, and the UCI dropped a logistical bomb on teams just weeks ahead of the Tour. Episode time stamps (oh, that’s new for us!): 2:35 - BMC’s TT bike and company news. 13:30 - Pinarello is returning to mountain bikes. 16:35 - What are P1 Race Tech mountain bike wheels? 19:29 - Cervelo getting deeper into XC. 21:23 - A flurry of forks and the boom of XC. 30:35 - Lauf drops Seigla prices in the USA. Plus other price drops. 35:30 - Will we see new UCI technical controls at the TDF? 49:45 - The growth of tyre inserts. 60:00 - On our minds and debating cup and cone bearing hubs Hosted on Acast.

In the pits of the Tour Down Under

We’re in Adelaide for the Tour Down Under, and it would be rude not to take a stroll through the race mechanics’ village. After all, the race provides a unique opportunity to see all men’s and women’s WorldTour teams in one place.Tune in as Caley Fretz and Dave Rome reunite and casually chat tech. From big changes, rumours, to fancy hand-built bikes – there’s plenty to take in.It’s worth noting that the episode starts with some audio issues, but they're quickly fixed. This episode is wholly free to all of our listeners, whether members or not. And on that note, there is no Ask a Wrench segment this week.

The Roubaix Tech Special

Paris-Roubaix has been a better predictor of the bike tech that will be common in the future than any other pro race. It was the first with bigger tires, the first with disc brakes, the first with endurance frames. So what were teams riding this year? Ronan Mc Laughlin and Caley Fretz dive into the cutting edge of cobble-worthy bike tech. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
