Sea Otter Pt. 1 - Hooked on Road Wheels

from Marginal Gains Cycling Podcast, Presented by Silca

We're not afraid to share an opinion on this show. At no time was that more apparent then when Josh let his thoughts known about hookless road wheels. It caused a bit of a reaction in the industry to say the least. And while we have some firm beliefs on certain technologies, we also believe in fairness. Which is why at Sea Otter we gave some wheel brands a platform to explain what has become a somewhat divisive topic.  Our guests work for three brands: ENVE, CADEX and Mavic. Two of them stand behind road hookless as a high performance and safe feature. The third has stuck with hooked rims. All three bring a unique perspective on what it takes to secure a tire to a wheel. We also talk to these wheel makers about their brands as a whole: what's driving innovation, how pro peloton success turns into sales and for one of them, what it takes to revive a heritage brand.
