In this week’s BikeRadar podcast, Jack Luke and Simon von Bromley are back again to discuss the hottest tech stories in cycling.

 Following last week’s episode about the leaked Cannondale CAAD14, we received a tip off about an amazing value Giant road bike that’s not for sale in the UK or US. Luckily, the internet knows no bounds and we’ve got all the details you need to know about it.

 The two then discuss SRAM’s new range of Red AXS cranks, which come in lengths down to a tiny 150mm – and whether that’s something anyone should be interested in.

 Likewise, should you care about Presta valve alternatives? Simon did some testing with BBB’s new CoreCap valves, and has some thoughts to share.

 Lastly, Jack and Simon discuss the reaction to the leaked Cannondale CAAD14 and why aluminium race bikes can make sense for a lot of riders, even if they’re technically not as ‘optimised’ as carbon bikes can be.
