In this week’s shorter-than-usual episode, the geeks chat about Fox Factory’s recently approved patent in the space.\nYou’ll also hear some early speculation about Fizik’s entry into helmets, some new EU-based helmets standard inbound, and what our go-to tubeless tyre sealants are.\nTech reporter Alex Hunt just wrapped up a big feature on big shoes, and the geeks give a basic overview of that.\nFinally, members of Escape Collective (if on the member-only feeds) will be privy to the Ask a Wrench segment that, this week, chats tyre width selection for crit racing and how to best switch disc brake pad compounds.\nAll that and more in this week’s Geek Warning.
