Paris-Roubaix tech trends ANALYSED! The tech that dominated this year’s race

If you've got a suspension fork on your mountain bike it's most likely to be a telescopic fork, whereby the stanchions slide in and out of your fork's lowers. However, the past year or so has seen a number of linkage forks come on to the market.

'The Rules' are a set of maxims by which the keen road cyclist often feels he or she should live by. It could be argued as a tongue in cheek dig at the MAMIL who wants to emulate their road racing heroes, but there's some method in the madness because many of the rules are actually rather sensible. That said, there are numerous that clearly poke fun at the over-keen amateur cyclist, so we've picked a few of our favourites and delved deeper into their meaning. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, BikeRadar's technical editor Tom Marvin and technical writer Seb Stott cover the somewhat huge topic of mountain bike geometry. While Tom advocates for slightly 'smaller' bikes, Seb is definitely a fan of the super long and slack. Geometry is key in dictating how a bike rides - long, slack bikes tend to be calm, confident and fast, whereas shorter bikes might be a touch more agile and involving to ride. There's no right or wrong, but that's not to say that Tom and Seb don't have opinions on the subject. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
