The BikeRadar Tech Q&A is back, with Jack Luke, Simon von Bromley and special guest Vicky Balfour answering your most pressing bike tech questions.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why do we always seem to test such expensive bikes? Spoiler: we don’t
    • Helping a 70-year-old rider with Parkinson’s find the perfect lightweight e-bike for mixed-terrain riding
      • Can you use the same disc rotor with two different brake callipers?
        • Are ebike tuning kits legal, safe – and will they wreck your e-bike?
          • Can non-Boost wheels be converted to fit a Boost frame and fork?

            • As ever, it’s a lively mix of practical advice, industry insight and a few strong opinions thrown in for good measure.
