James is currently roaming the halls of the Taipei show, so this week, you get two-thirds of our geeky Geek Warning trio discussing the Fraser Group's acquisition of whatever is left at Wiggle-CRC after another round of layoffs and the latest questions as the hookless conversation rages on following what appears to be another failure.\nThere's also news of Look's new Keo Blade and X-Track power meter pedals and Rapha's latest aero jersey that might save you 7 watts, four watts, or both; we're not sure. \nLater in the episode, the conversation changes to Ronan's concerns we may be headed for an automotive industry-style \"approved service centre only\" model for our bike's servicing and maintenance needs. While the conversation throws up some potential positives from such a move, worryingly, Dave suggests we are already there. \nFinally, Dave has another reason to buy more tools dressed up as a PSA. \nTime stamps:\n5:20 - Frasers Group's Wiggle-CRC takeover\n10:00 - Hooked on hookless \n16:50 - New Giant TCR\n21:55 - Stupid helmets everywhere\n28:10 - Look's new power meter pedals\n32:50 -Rapha's new Pro Team Jersey\n37:40 - On Your Mind - \"Approved service centre only\" \n48:00 - A PSA from Dan Bigham's mechanic ","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}
