Show Notes
Simon and Ashley are back for another episode of the BikeRadar podcast.
We kick off with the news that Garmin has announced three new bike computers, including a new flagship Edge 1060 – its most expensive bike computer ever!
After talking through what’s new, Simon and Ashley discuss why Garmin products seem to launch at such high prices nowadays, and whether it feels justified or not.
Following that, in light of Simon’s recently published review of Shimano’s S-Phyre RX910 gravel cycling shoes, the two discuss 2-bolt versus 3-bolt cleats for road cycling, and which is better for everyday riders.
We then finish things off with the news in brief, which this week includes details of the COROS Dura 2 bike computer, two new tyres from Continental and Komoot’s latest update for Google wearables. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this podcast https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Simon and Warren are back to digest the biggest cycling tech stories of the week. First up was Wednesday’s news that Fran Millar has stepped down as CEO of Rapha with immediate effect, after just two years at the helm. Following that, Rapha confirmed an “organisational restructure” and a “formal consultation process with affected team members” would soon begin. With that in mind, Simon and Warren share their takes on where this all leaves the iconic British apparel brand, why everything seems to keep going wrong for it, and how it can get back on track. Following that, Simon quizzes Warren on his recent review of Newmen’s new Streem G.62 aero gravel wheels, which feature super-deep, and super-wide, aero rims. Are extreme wheels like this just for pro racers or are they suitable for punters too? As always, Warren’s got plenty of thoughts to share from his testing. Then, in this week’s news in brief, the duo cover the UCI’s recently announced review of its infamous Lugano Charter, and what rules they’d change if they were in charge of cycling. Simon and Warren also discuss Castelli’s recently updated Gabba and Perfetto jackets, and whether the iconic foul weather jacket fits into their cycling wardrobes. Lastly, they finish up with Specialized’s latest special edition bike – a £12,999 / $14,999, limited edition replica of Remco Evenepoel’s Gold S-Works Tarmac SL9. Should everyday riders be buying Olympic gold medal-themed bikes? Simon’s not so sure…
