  • LOVE the show…not the audio

    I truly love this podcast and listen to every one, but the quality of the audio has gone downhill. More often than not, there is at least one presenter whose audio is much higher or lower than the other’s, making it unbearable to listen to in the car without constantly having to raise and lowering the volume. Please, please fix this so I can keep listening to all of the great discussions, breaking news and talented presenters! You guys are the best!!!

  • Improve the audio

    Have the hosts given up on proper micing and levels? Echo echo echo and jarring volume shifts to/from ad breaks. Shape up!

  • Varied and informative

    Good: UK focus, varied mix of road, gravel and MTB. I would like more about everyday “just ride” stuff, eg getting out on the MTB from your front door rather than driving to a trail park, training and riding for weekend warriors

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tech Q&A: The death of 27.5in wheels, the best e-bike motor, and more
Q: Are there any mid to top spec EMTBs with 27.5 inch wheels, front and rear, ideally with a Bosch motor?
Very few brands are selling 650B 27.5 bikes now, with the only noteworthy option being the Transition Relay with a Fazua ride motor; however, Canyon's models might cater to smaller sizes while offering Bosch motors.
Tech Q&A: The death of 27.5in wheels, the best e-bike motor, and more
Q: Could you outline which of these mid-motor systems is best, or at least the pros and cons of each? Bosch, Shimano, Brose, Yamaha, and Fazua.
Bosch is the benchmark system known for its ubiquity and dealer support. Shimano motors are light and compact, though potentially noisier. Brose offers a quiet and natural feel, mainly found in specialized bikes. Yamaha is robust and torquey. Fazua offers a lightweight system, but is a different proposition.
Tech Q&A: How to make your gears easier, set up cleats like a pro, and more
Q: How do I adjust the chain on my rival groupset, which will not shift down?
Check the derailleur hanger alignment, B screw tension, and ensure that there are no issues with the cable tension or friction.
Tech Q&A: How to make your gears easier, set up cleats like a pro, and more
Q: How do I fit Shimano mountain bike cleats properly?
You should start by positioning the cleat under the ball of your foot, ensure symmetry between left and right, and be prepared to make adjustments after a test ride.
Tech Q&A: How to make your gears easier, set up cleats like a pro, and more
Q: Can I change my daughter's bike cassette to a larger size for easier hill climbing without changing the derailleur?
In most cases, you can switch to a larger cassette without changing the derailleur, but check compatibility and possibly adjust the chain length.
