Welcome back to the Cygmy Tips, everybody. I'm Kayle Fritz. I wish you could see my amazing background.

If you're watching this on YouTube, in fact you will be able to see my amazing background. I have antlers today.

We're back with another fantastic episode

of the Cycling Tips Podcast.

Got most of the usual crew.

Dane, Jose, James, Abbey, shoddy Dave, we're going to be talking about all kinds of stuff today.

I was going to say you said most of the usual crew, but who's missing?

It's the whole crew. I like we said most.

The whole crew. Just in case I'm all for hedging your bets like that. What if we want to add

talent at some point throughout the year. It's just most for now.

Today, we are going to be talking about Cyclocross Worlds,

which happened over the weekend,

plus EF's new trolling kit, some road racing that actually happened, very exciting, some other road racing that did not happen.

We have a very important debate today. It's going to be electronic

versus mechanical shifting. It is shoddy versus James coming up later in the

episode.

Plus in today's Nerd Alert, which by the way we are looking for a new name for Nerd Alert

because, well, people are getting confused because we have a whole other podcast called Nerd Alert, so we need to rename this segment, something.

We don't know what that's going to be yet.

Anyway, we're going to be talking about a couple different things.

We've got some wireless Shimano news, a story that Dave Rome broke on

Sunday night, at least Sunday night here in the US. Plus a bit about salt water and sand and buying used team bikes. We'll get into that later in the show.
