Geek Warning: Specialized and Giant have very different takes on what makes the ideal endurance road bike

Specialized announced its latest Roubaix and Giant launched its fifth-generation Defy Advanced this week, but while they’re both “endurance road bikes”, they could hardly be more different. We’ve also got a new aero all-rounder from Ridley, fancy 3D-printed titanium derailleur hangers, new indoor developments from Wahoo and Zwift, a whole day of hour records, thoughts on the UCI’s minimum weight limit, and a word of caution to maybe not trust that little map on your GPS computer *too* much. Timestamps: 6:55 - A Specialized Roubaix, but no Cable Cobbler (yet) 21:45 - More endurance road bikes and Giant’s new Defy fills a gap. 32:20 – Silca has derailleur hangers with holes in them 38:45 - News from Wahoo with special guest, GPLama (https://gplama.com/)! 52:22 - A quick mention of Zwift things 54:50 - Ridley replaces the Helium SLX 1:01:30 - A new testing facility at MIPS 1:03:43 - There’s a day of Hour Records and Ronan is very excited 1:05:50 - The UCI weight limit is on Ronan’s mind 1:11:14 - A PSA that James and Dave hadn’t considered.
