That’s the big question that Ronan, Dave, and Zach discuss in this week’s episode of Geek Warning.\nPlus, you’ll hear a useful PSA for those who use newer road pedals. Dave then rings up new Escape recruit Josh Weinberg to discuss the latest in road, gravel, and cross-country mountain bike tech – including Fox's new 34 SL fork release (something we've also covered in writing).\nThe episode closes with the usual answering of member-submitted technical questions. However, for this last section, you will need to be a member of Escape Collective and either logged into the member-only podcast feed or via our Podcast page (again, logged in members only).\nThanks for listening! And if you like it, please consider sending it to a fellow tech-loving cyclist.\nTime stamps:\n1:40 - Corrections Corner\n2:45 - On Our Minds: Unique selling features that actually don’t help sell bikes\n22:00 - PSA: Composite-bodied road pedals are a wear item\n25:00 - Introducing Josh and chatting Mid-South gravel tech\n28:30 - Teravail has a whole wheel-system\n31:20 - Chris King launches its own alloy wheelset\n34:00 - Fox releases the new 34 SL fork\n39:00 - Fox’s new all-in-one remote lever\n41:55 - LiteSpeed’s new impressively lightweight road frame\n45:25 - Ask a Wrench (member-feed only)\n47:00 - A mystery and isolated leaking brake lever (member-feed only)\n54:00 - Good and bad of solid polymer bearings (member-feed only)\n1:01:00 - How to deal with a stuck tubeless valve (member-feed only)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RBvZ42VOa2IulzLpz6GqMhunUzl2KYbNT7_xuoZrdHw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzNk/OTc3NzE0MjIyOWM0/M2IzZDcwODY3ODU1/Njc5Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
