Big tubular is Cross

Geek Warning - A podcast by Escape Collective - Fridays

This week on The Geek Warning podcast, join Ronan McLaughlin, Zach Edwards, and Dave Rome as they discuss the latest happenings in the world of cycling tech.The geeks cover what is believed to be the first win for tubeless in a cyclocross World Championship. There’s a UCI rider survey circling that strongly points to a few technical changes being considered. An approved patent and many rumours point to new SRAM Transmission mechanical coming soon. And there’s a new headset that claims to solve for cable routing woes, but we’re not so sure.Plus, there’s something mechanic-related on Ronan’s mind, a few little bits of news, and of course, Ask a Wrench (now with the addition of Zach, joining Brad Copeland).As a reminder, Ask a Wrench is now exclusively available on our members-only podcast feed.
