Former MTB pro Nick Martin started The Pro’s Closet out of the back of his old VW van 16 years ago, and now it’s a multi-million dollar operation with nearly 200 employees, a monstrous warehouse, and roughly 2000 used bikes for sale on any given day.
TPC’s ace-in-the-hole is its Certified Pro-Owned program, which promises you’re getting a used bike that’s been fully inspected, serviced, safe, and ready to go — and it even comes with a 30-day return policy.
The CPO thing has worked wonders for the used car industry, but does this it sense for used bikes? In this uncertain worlds we’re living in these days, maybe a little certainty is what we need.

The Nerds had quite a few new bikes to talk about this week, and a lot of details to debate, especially regarding Cannondale’s new Synapse.
On the one hand, it’s strikingly normal now with no proprietary fittings whatsoever (even a threaded bottom bracket — from Cannondale!). But there’s now also a fully integrated onboard battery powering built-in lights and a custom rear-facing Garmin Varia radar. Is this a good thing, or is it a little half-baked? Meanwhile, Canyon has moved away from threaded to PF86 for its latest Endurace range, which seems nuts at first… but is it, or is there more nuance to it?
We also discuss SRAM buying computer brand Hammerhead, the same end for Bowman Cycles, and we hammer through a small army of Ask a Mechanic questions. Don’t miss it!

It turns out Canadian pro Geoff Kabush is pretty good at racing bikes — first in XC MTB and cyclocross, then more recently, gravel and enduro — and throughout it all, he’s never been afraid to speak his mind. But along with chasing podiums, Kabush has always also put his engineering degree and technical mindset to good use in a product development role, providing valuable feedback on what works, and what doesn’t.
So what’s he think about gravel gear? James and Dave ask the questions, and Kabush provides the answers.

Today’s special episode is an interview, but not the sort we normally do. Our guest isn’t a pro cyclist or an engineer at a bike brand. Massimo Alpian is a husband, cyclist, outdoor industry PR professional, and a gay man. His is a story worth telling and worth listening to. Bikes might have saved his life, and they’ve defined it for years since.
There’s another motive behind this podcast. This is a call to action. Along with the folks at Manual for Speed and Cannondale (full disclosure: Massimo works at Cannondale), we’ve put together a grant dedicated to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ crit racing. To help fund that grant we’ve got some merch, and if Massimo’s story strikes you, we need you to head over and pick some up.
Massimo has been instrumental in this whole project, and his story is proof of its importance.
Warning, this episode discusses suicide.

There are all sorts of awards handed out in the cycling industry. There’s the Arlo Pfeiffer award for most convoluted cable routing; the Emma Stouffy prize for the more pungent tire; and the David St. Hubbins trophy — the “Hubby” — for blackest paint.

If you’ve tried to buy anything bike-related over the last couple of years, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that no one has anything in stock — like, ANYTHING. But why is that? Has the pandemic really disrupted global production that much on the supply side, or is it that so many more people are trying to buy stuff on the demand side?
James and Dave sit down with the CEO of SRAM, Ken Lousberg, to get the inside story from one of the biggest players in the industry to get the full story. You won’t want to miss this one.

The Nerds are finally back with another group show!
This week, one of the things we’re discussing is one of the hottest trends in gravel bikes: adjustable frame geometry. On paper, the idea of having multiple bike personalities in one sounds awfully appealing, but how much of a difference does it really make, and how many people are actually going to use it regularly? Is it a way to really make bikes better, or is it just a way bike brands can hedge their bets? And what happens if it’s done poorly?
As always, we have opinions.
