Welcome back to Geek Warning!
This week Ronan Mc Laughlin, Dave Rome, Suvi Loponen, and Brad Copeland are on the pod to discuss things such as Wahoo’s gigantic new head unit, Campagnolo’s return to the WorldTour, and the worrying trend of many cycling products being disposable.
On our minds, and a general theme of the episode, is how to better cover sustainability aspects in the products we review. As you’ll hear, our focus is expecting a longer useable life (whether through serviceability or just straight up durability) from the products we buy.
Of course, plenty more is discussed, too. Enjoy!
Time stamps:
1:00 - The big-sized release of the Wahoo Elemnt Ace, aero meters, and more
19:30 - We told you so, Campagnolo returns to the WorldTour
27:00 - Sustainability in products is on our minds
36:00 - Giant’s expands its own range of suspension components for 2025
41:00 - Ask a Wrench: Lacking access to service parts
52:40 - Ask a Wrench: Pedal extenders and power meter pedals
58:45 - Ask a Wrench: Odd movement between a Shimano SPD-SL pedal and cleat
1:06:00 - Ask a Wrench: Finding a budget cassette for SRAM Eagle that fits an HG freehub
