Summary
Welcome back to Geek Warning! In this week’s edition of the regular show, Ronan and Dave discuss why current road bikes may not be ready for emerging trends in seated positions. Later Ronan shares a PSA related to multi-tools that turns out to be more of a Pick One and a rant.
On the news side, the geeks discuss the new Cannondale Scalpel cross-country race bike. Pinarello has finally officially revealed its Bolide F HR that Italy will race on the track in Paris. There’s more 3D-printed tech to discuss in the hubs of Scope’s new and impressively light Artech wheels. And Dave gets excited at the chance to talk about Feedback Sports’ new Pliers Wrench tool.
As usual, the end of the episode is kept for a quick discussion of other interesting new things. There you’ll hear about Wahoo’s firmware update, another new Mirror saddle (the comfy 3D-printed type) from Specialized, and CeramicSpeed’s new OSPW RS derailleur cages.
Happy geeking!

| 0:25.0 | Ron, you've been rather busy making podcasts. |
| 0:28.0 | There seems to be a steady flow of podcasts that arguably designed intended for members but released for everyone. |
| 0:37.0 | What have you published as it late? |

| 1:46.8 | hookless discussions and debate that arose following two incidents for a lot of destiny writers and across the last three or four weeks. |
| 1:56.4 | Yeah, I listened to all of those episodes. Well done. I yeah found them insightful and also found it interesting that a lot of these things were |
| 2:08.8 | bonus episodes, yeah, intended for members only, but I guess the zip one was safety related |
