What happened to Suvi?
The whole foundation of ranking campagnola is ridiculous. It's not going to be seen as the top to your group set no one's that stupid In fact it's just looks dishonest to have your first and second groups that have basically the same name. You don't get prestige when someone looks at it and says oh yeah it's not actually the really the top one it just makes you look even stupid. And you and all the other shows keep quoting prices that are complete BS and everyone knows it.
These guys and gal consistently nail it. I especially appreciated the latest episode on the 1x compromise. It’s a reality many weekend warriors don’t fully understand. Yes, pro and serious amateur gravel racers use 1X, but the jumps between gears are a much bigger deal for us folks like me who average 170- watts rather than 270+.
Are you tired of sound bites, short cuts, absolutes and lack of nuance?

A tech-forward cycling show that dissects the mechanics, gear, and industry moves shaping modern bikes. Across recent episodes, hosts explore wheel tech, frame geometry, aerodynamics, and real-world rider positioning, often pairing hands-on testing with interviews from engineers, riders, and kit specialists. The tone blends practical maintenance tips with deep-dives into market shifts, wind-tunnel data, and racing tech, while keeping segments for listener questions and maker-focused discussions. Notable angles include independent, data-driven takes on new components, a critique of marketing hype, and a commitment to transparent, no-ads-style analysis. These threads create a consistently nerdy, useful resource for shop techs, riders, and bra... more
