Here’s a burning question we’ve had for quite some time: should your bike complement your strengths or shore up your weaknesses?
Wait, hear us out! We thought about the best bikes we’ve ridden, and there’s always something in common: they make us feel superhuman. But what about that that bike makes you feel that way? Is it how it makes up for your weaknesses on the descents, or is it how it only amplifies what you’re the best at?
We have a bit of an argument here, with some of us believing a bike needs to focus on rider weaknesses, while others would rather their bikes help them feel better about what they’re doing.
Along the way, we talk about Litespeed’s new titanium road bike, which they claim is the lightest titanium frame yet. Then, we get nostalgic about old Cannondales as we talk about the latest Topstone Carbon ahead of its launch.
Ah, and as we should, we talk about a big crash that happened while filming our first-ever Velo Field Test. Don’t tell us we don’t make sacrifices for this job!
