Have Specialized Ruined the Aethos, Shimano Power Pedals LEAKED and More… | BikeRadar Podcast | Flipboard

youtube.com - In this week’s BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is once again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the latest hot stories in bike tech. We kick things off with a Shimano leak that suggests the Japanese brand may be working on a set of power meter pedals for its next-generation road groupsets. Next, we move on to the new Specialized Aethos 2, which has been updated to include full integrated cable routing, wider tyre clearance and a less aggressive geometry. It’s also as light and expensive as ever, of course. We also discuss Tadej Pogačar’s tricked-out Colnago Y1Rs from the Rwanda world championships, and speculate why the Slovenian rider switched to Continental’s new Archetype tyres for this race. Finally, instead of ending with a ‘rant of the week’, Simon and Jack give a rare shoutout to the UCI for its recently announced cost cap for track cycling bikes and equipment, which will be introduced ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics Games in 2028. 00:00 Intro 01:29 Spotted!

On the Lighthouse Century Bike Race/Event

Kathy and I rode our road bikes on the 42 mile route Saturday from Morro Bay, CA, to Cambria and back on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) with a nice wide road shoulder to ride on. It’s not an extreme route but demanding on our segment. The 65, 75, and 100 mile routes probably are more so. I did a respectable 14 mph average over a 1,312 elevation gain with several challenging hills. The left photo is the Morro Bay rock viewed from the north on my way back from Cambria. It was about 8 miles away by road but the coast curves to the left and around to the rock so the viewing distance wasn’t as far. The photo on the right shows how big this 581 foot tall rock is from a 1/4 mile or so distance.

Morro Rock is the remnant of a volcanic plug - the neck of an extinct volcano, one of several in the area.

Morro Bay is a small but nice coastal town and worth a short stay, Cambria similarly.

Protože jsem si dneska sám odšlapal stovku na #roadbike, až teď jsem viděl ze záznamu dnešní silniční závod žen na MS. Neskutečné! Kanaďanka Magdeleine Vallieres z EF Education ten závod vyhrála. Tak to jsem zvědavý, jak Rapha zkombinuje růžový dres EF s její mistrovskou duhou.
