The Biggest Cycling Tech Trends According to Mechanics

Cycling tech has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. From wider tires and disc brakes to electronic shifting, 1x drivetrains, massive cassettes, integrated cockpits, and SRAM’s UDH system — modern road bikes are evolving faster than ever.In this episode, we sit down with Michael Haas and Andreas Frances of Reser Bicycle to discuss the biggest cycling tech trends happening right now from a mechanic’s perspective. We break down what innovations are actually improving cycling, what trends may be overhyped, and where road bikes could be headed in the next 5–10 years.We also dive into:Wider tires, rolling resistance & internal rim widthSRAM UDH & the rise of 1x gearingModern gearing trends & easier gear ratiosElectronic shifting vs mechanicalIntegration vs serviceabilityProprietary bike parts & modern bike maintenanceWhat mechanics really think about current bike trendsPredictions for the future of cycling techFollow Reser Bicycle Outfitters:reserbicycle.comChapters: 03:18 — Rapid-fire mechanic questions18:58 — Where bikes have come from over the last 20 years31:51 — Rise of UDH36:41— 1x Drivetrains and gear ratios50:35 — Wider tires and clearance 54:40— Integrated vs non-integrated 1:09:16 — Where bikes are headed in the next 5 years #cycling #cyclingtech #roadcycling #biketech #cyclingpodcastFollow us: YOUTUBE: @bespoke-endurance INSTAGRAM: @bespoke_enduranceTIK TOK: @bespokeendurance STRAVA: https://www.strava.com/athletes/12445307 & https://www.strava.com/athletes/9809044 SPOTIFY: Bespoke Endurance | Podcast on SpotifyAPPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1790091191IHEARTRADIO: https://iheart.com/podcast/259385937/
