Has Merida made a big mistake with its latest gravel bike? Plus wild prototype gravel rims, the worldwide testosterone crisis and more

In this week’s news show, Jack Luke is reunited with Simon von Bromley to unpick this week’s biggest tech stories in cycling. First up is Merida’s new Mission gravel bike, which comes with just 40mm of tyre clearance. Is that enough for a modern gravel race bike? We’re not so sure. The pair then discuss a set of wild prototype gravel rims designed by Dangerholm, and Q36.5’s new ultra-low stack height pedal system made in partnership with SRM. Following that, the pair cover last week’s top story on BikeRadar – the news that men may be facing a testosterone crisis, why this could be affecting their health, and what men can do about it. They then finish with our rant of the week, which sees Simon addressing some of the comments on one of our recent videos. Does bike tech matter to pros? Simon says yes, even if he agrees cycling isn’t Formula 1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
