Geek Warning: Specialized and Giant have very different t...

What this episode covers

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.

Explicit Views on the News from the Couch Jeff Cross My goal is to explore subjects that interest me – and might interest you – with some occasional humor and less partisan spin. I call myself a conservative at about the 40‑yard line for Republicans but even that gets confusing given how far crazies and the media have moved the goalposts. My aim is simple: call out the crazy on all sides and pull the conversation back toward a sane middle. AND encourage people to read the actual source material instead of just repeating headlines or relying on the media to tell us what we need to know. Full disclosure, I probably miss some of the crazy on the right.If that sounds like your lane, give Views on the News from the Couch a try – and if you like it, please share it.
