Number 2: Bikes And Kit We'd Buy If We Started Again
Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast Simon and Warren are back to discuss the essential gear for anyone just getting into cycling. Leaning on their decades of riding experience, they tell you what bikes, kit and accessories are worth buying – and which ones you should avoid (at least when you’re just starting out). Following this, Simon quizzes Warren on his recently published review of the new Pinarello Dogma X. Although it’s by no means a bad bike, its lofty price tag makes it a tough sell versus the competition. Lastly, in this week’s news in brief, the duo discuss Campagnolo’s recent sale of a minority stake to an investment group reportedly backed by South African billionaire, Ivan Glasenberg. Then there’s the peculiar news of new carbon wheelsets from Columbus, and Panaracer’s new AGXERO road tyres. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Number 3: Shimano Has Played It Safe For Too Long
Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9300 is being raced at La Vuelta, but I’m not at all impressed by what we’ve seen so far. In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast we’re going to discuss why this latest leak has left me – maybe us – so underwhelmed. We’re then going to discuss this year’s best drop bar bike, yes, that’s right - our Bike of the Year has been crowned, and Warren here is going to tell you what it is and why it’s better than everything else. Then, lastly we will of course have our news in brief, where we’ve got news of Specialized’s new ‘cheaper’ Tarmac SL9 range, Garmin’s new flagship smartwatch and Insta360’s latest action camera. Before we crack on, a massive thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this podcast and helping us keep it going. We’ll have more to tell you about them later. Learn more about your ad choices.

Number 4: Why This 7-Year Old Bike Computer Is STILL The Best!
Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Simon and Warren discuss why the latest GPS bike computers can’t convince either of them to upgrade – and why Garmin’s 7-year old Edge 830 remains the undefeated champ (at least in Simon’s opinion). Following this, Simon quizzes Warren on why he’s changed his mind about aero gravel bikes, following a number of recent bike tests. We then round out the podcast with News in Brief, which includes details (and a hot take from Simon) about Continental’s new 32mm Aero 111 tyre, news that a fund to help young riders has been set up in memory of Finlay Tarling, and a brief preview of what to expect in our upcoming Bike of The Year test.
