It’s been a big few weeks for the cycling world, with the Classics and the Sea Otter Classic sharing a weekend.\nRonan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome kick off the show chatting Roubaix tech, including some hacked derailleurs and questionable measurements. Then they chat about Colnago’s latest race bike.\nDave then jumps on with US tech editor Josh Weinberg to talk all things Sea Otter, including some of the bigger tech news. Plus, there’s a beginner's guide to why many in the industry are seemingly obsessed with gearboxes in place of the old derailleur.\nAll of those chats are based loosely on content already published on Escape Collective. So check out the Tech section of the website in order to see more on all of these things.\nThe episode wraps with our usual Ask a Wrench segment with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland. As a reminder, you’ll need to be a member of Escape Collective (go here) in order to access this popular segment of the podcast.
