Description

Good chain lubes can extend the life of your drivetrain, and bad ones can shorten them – but do you know how much that might actually cost you? A new online calculator using Zero Friction Cycling’s data aims to tell you just that. Our crew of geeks also pick their favorite road helmets, Ronan has some thoughts on stock component sizes, the UCI is at it again, 3T and Bianchi have some fancy new gravel bikes, and if come across some new Pinarellos that seem way, way too cheap, there might be a reason for that.Timestamps:6:03 – The UCI has updated their penalties, but it’s probably not going to change anything10:07 – That cheap bottle of chain lube might actually cost you $5,000.17:20 – More bad news from the bike industry18:19 – Pinarello needs a better fence – and maybe a stronger door20:25 – Stock component sizes, chickens, and eggs32:54 – Our favorite road helmets47:50 – Bianchi’s new Impulso RC gravel bike actually looks really good48:21 – 3T is going really, really big with its new Extrema Italia gravel bike
