Reviewing bikes can get expensive

Geek Warning - A podcast by Escape Collective - Fridays

Welcome back for another episode of Geek Warning. This week, Dave Rome and Brad Copeland discuss the latest topics in the bike world. They ponder whether all-road and gravel bikes are now the same thing. And the conversation does cover Dave’s poor financial control.Three new bikes are discussed. There’s Canyon’s new Aeroad road race bike, a bike that Ronan Mc Laughlin wrote about last week. Meanwhile, USA-based Otso Cycles and State Bicycle Co have both released new all-road/gravel bikes with prices starting from just US$2,500 – the Otso Cycles Warakin and State Titanium All-Road (yes, a budget titanium bike).On Dave’s mind is the gravel bike he couldn’t bring himself to return, a Santa Cruz Stigmata that he just wrapped up reviewing.You'll also hear a PSA about servicing freehub bodies, and the episode wraps up (in under an hour!) with a quick bite of news from Kask.Timestamps:4:35 - Canyon’s new Aeroad goes all-in on T2516:30 - Defining All Road21:00 - Otso Cycles’ new Warakin Steel27:55 - State launches a budget titanium bike33:20 - Reviewing bikes can get expensive40:00 - PSA on freehub body servicing50:35 - Kask unveils the Nirvana aero road helmet
