Geek Warning

This week on Geek Warning, Dave chats with Ronan about his extremely comprehensive road tyre test, published a week ago. The conversation covers how the test was run and why the data is so reliable. 

Then, Ronan and Dave chat about Silca’s acquisition and re-release of the analogue-watch-lookalike Omata cycling computer. 

Midway, Escape's US-based tech writer Jack Duncan jumps on to discuss Colnago’s new Colnago gravel bike and a somewhat peculiar wheel release from Cadex. 

Lastly, members of Escape Collective (on our exclusive member-only feeds) get access to Ask a Wrench, where we answer technical questions submitted by our members. 

 Time stamps: 

 2:30 - Ronan’s big and tiring project 
25:30 - Silca acquires Omata 
36:00 - Switching locations to Jack
39:00 - Colnago’s new G5-X gravel bike 
45:00 - Cadex’s XC wheelset is a little weird
