Campagnolo’s new 13-speed wireless continues to be seen out in the wild, now at the Giro d’Italia. Dave has had his hands on WheelTop’s latest wireless mountain bike derailleur and shifter. And SRAM has an option to upgrade its new mechanical T70/T90 system to wireless, and nope, we’re not joking.\nAdditionally, Ronan is feeling misunderstood. We warn about using modern Ai-type tech in your repair endeavours. And of course, there’s plenty more.\nAs always, Escape Collective members will hear our popular Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) and Dave Rome answer member-submitted questions related to fixing tubeless punctures in road tyres, the complications of Cannondale’s Ai asymmetry, and we provide some thoughts on the best tyre setups for amateur racing across multiple disciplines. 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. Members can submit new questions here.\nTime stamps:\n2:50 - Ronan’s feeling misunderstood\n8:15 - Thumb shifter all-but-confirmed for next-gen Campagnolo Wireless\n13:30 - Dave’s first impressions of WheelTop wireless (EDS OX2.0)\n23:00 - a PSA about using Ai to help you wrench\n27:00 - SRAM’s new mechanical shifting can be upgraded to wireless\n32:00 - Canyon updates the Ultimate and Endurace road bikes\n38:00 - Rocky Mountain secures new Canadian owners\n39:20 - Where to for Felt Bicycles?\n42:00 - Threaded this week\n45:00 - Time for Ask a Wrench (member’s feed only)\n49:00 - How to properly fix a cut tubeless tyre\n57:00 - Cannondale Ai crank woes\n1:04:00 - Best tyre setups by disciplines","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}
