Episode Details

This week, Escape’s senior tech editors Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome are back on the mics to talk about Campagnolo’s big news, Stan’s new products, and a big-tyred aero bike from Ridley.

Also, Dave has easy-to-build bikes on his mind and why they’re the sort of bike he personally still seeks out. Plus there’s a PSA for those who ever turn a hex key near a SRAM Transmission or XPLR-equipped bike.

Geek Warning usually finishes on a member-only segment of Ask a Wrench, but not this week. Instead, Dave catches up with famed frame builder Rob English (of English Cycles) about his time at MADE (the North American boutique bicycle show). 

Happy geeking!
