This week we're joined by ultra-endurance cyclist Chris Hall as we chat about the latest controversy surrounding hookless wheels and the calls for them to be banned from the pro peloton. We also discuss a bizarre story of a pro team's "attempted fraud" (the UCI's words, not ours), which saw them suspended from racing after they dressed a mechanic as a rider to try and sign on for a race. Plus we talk to Chris about his journey from a corporate day job to becoming an adventure cyclist.
