Thomas De Gendt’s crash at the UAE Tour should be a wake-up call for the cycling industry

Manufacturers of carbon rims are increasingly adopting hookless rims, citing benefits such as lower weight, improved aerodynamics and reduced manufacturing costs. Last week, though, on stage five of the 2024 UAE Tour, Thomas De Gendt suffered a high-speed crash while – seemingly – just riding along. De Gendt’s wheels, a set of Zipp’s 353 NSW carbon wheels with hookless rims, were initially deemed to be at fault, but can we be sure about what actually happened, and could there be more to this story than meets the eye? In this episode of the BikeRadar podcast, deputy editor, Jack Luke, and senior technical writer, Smon von Bromley, discuss the incident and what it might mean for the future of wheel and tyre tech on road bikes. Simon’s in-depth feature on the incident: https://www.bikeradar.com/features/tech/de-gendt-uae-tour-crash-are-hookless-rims-safe Since this episode was recorded, Vittoria has released a statement seeking to clarify the cause of the incident: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/vittoria-statement-de-gendt-crash-hookless-rims Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re a month in to the lockdown, so how are the BikeRadar team getting on when it comes to riding?

Road Tech Talk | Shaving weight - how to go super-light

Road Tech Talk | Shaving weight - how to go super-light

Lighter bikes are faster up hills - that's pretty much a fact. And, when the goal is to get to the top of the hill as fast as humanly possible - i.e. during a hill climb race - getting a bike as light as possible is vital. Joe and Jack, from the BikeRadar team are aficionados of the hill climb bike - over the years they've competed nationally at hill climbs, with their bikes weighing around the 5kg mark. So, how did they get their bikes quite so light? In this Tech Talk, the guys go through the different components on a bike, discussing where's best, and where not to try and lose some weight.

Bike Shorts 06 | Paris-Roubaix – the weird and wonderful

The infamous cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix have led many teams and riders to experiment wildly throughout the races long history, but we’ve also seen plenty of winners riding relatively normal bikes too. With the 2020 edition sadly cancelled, Jack and Simon discuss some of the weird and wonderful bikes used to try and tame the Pavé over the years, which ones are their favourites and the lengths the pro’s and manufacturers will apparently go to avoid simply running wider tyres.
