Nerd Alert podcast: A new lease on life for clothing and bags

Much of the attention on the Right to Repair movement in cycling has been concentrated on hard goods, like bikes, wheels, components, and so on. But it’s also important to remember that you can often fix clothing and bags at a nominal cost after a crash or even just due to wear and tear. Why throw it away when you can bring it back to life? In this week’s episode, we chat with two brands – Velocolour and Ortlieb – who are doing just that.

The Nerd Alert podcast had an unplanned week off, but rest assured, we’re back on schedule. Senior tech editor Dave Rome chats with No.22’s co-founder Bryce Gracey in this episode.

In this episode we take a deep-dive into the updates that No.22 revealed at the Philly Bike Expo, and we talk geometry concepts, stealthy travel bikes, and more.

Enjoy!

Nerd Alert podcast: Suspension on gravel bikes

One fun fact came out during our discussions with Specialized engineering mastermind Chris D’Aluisio: much of his testing of the company’s new Diverge STR fully suspended gravel bike has been on tarmac with a full complement of road components. In his words? “It’s awesome!” That got us thinking, especially given D’Aluisio’s background in Moto GP racing: if full suspension is good for gravel, then might it also make sense on the road, too? Give this one a listen before you pick up the pitchfork.
