Rouleur Conversations - Rouleur 111 The Youth Issue May 19, 2022

Pro-cyclists are getting younger. Really, it's not you getting older.

On this podcast, Rouleur's Rachel Jary talks about her article on the lack of racing for Under-23 women, and the problems that's causing for the sport as a whole. And Rouleur editor Ed Pickering chats with Joe Laverick about the roller-coaster challenge of racing in Belgium.

Rouleur Tech Podcast - Cervélo and the future of road bikes May 12, 2022

Show notes

What's next for road bikes? Are there any more major technical leaps to come after discs, electric shifting and tubeless tyres? What's the next 'game changer'? Or will it simply be slow and incremental improvements on tried and tested basics? Cervélo have been at the heart of road bike development for years, especially through their work with pro teams and riders. For this episode Dan Cavallari gets together with three of their senior team - Maria Benson, director of product management; engineering manager Scott Roy and senior mechanical designer Robert Pike.

Rouleur Tech Podcast - Choosing a Gravel Tyre Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

So you’ve taken that (not very difficult) decision and bought yourself a gravel bike. But the choices don’t end there. What sort of tyres are you going to put on it? Smoother tread or knobbly? Dry or wet compound? And what pressure?

Dan Cavallari is on the case as always, with the help of Ken Avery - Senior Vice President of product development at Vittoria. Between them, they can help you choose the right tyre (or tire as Dan insists on spelling it).

Rouleur Tech Podcast - Are TT bikes really dangerous? Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

The pre-season crash which left Egan Bernal in intensive care has again focused attention on the safety of time-trial bikes. Tom Pidcock and Chris Froome are among the high-profile names warning that TT bikes are too dangerous to ride on open roads. But are the bikes to blame - or the natural inclination of pro-riders to ride as fast as possible, even in training? Dan Cavallari seeks the opinion of three people who know - former US Time trial champion Cameron Piper, now product manager at Specialized in California, multiple British time trial champion Michael Hutchinson and Trek-Segafredo pro Toms Skujins.

Rouleur Tech Podcast - Heart Rate and Power in Training Mar 31, 2022

Even before you-know-what confined us all to rollers and turbos, more and more cyclists were opting for the certainty and controllability of indoor training. And on the road, more of us are using heart rate monitors and power meters to make our rides efficient and effective. But how do you get the best results, and what are the latest advances? Dan Cavallari seeks answers from two training experts - Neal Henderson, head of Wahoo Sports Science and Shane Gaffney, performance training manager at Swift.

Rouleur Conversations - Frank Vandenbroucke + The Joy of Setts Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

‘Cycling’s Great Wasted Talent’ is the cover line of a new book dedicated to Belgium’s tragic star Frank Vandenbroucke. Eddy Merckx said Vandenbroucke was so talented he could win anything in cycling but he was brought down by a series of drugs scandals - on and off the bike - and an urge for excess and self-destruction. In his book ‘God Is Dead’, former Rouleur Editor Andy McGrath details Vandenbroucke’s extraordinary rise and fall. Also on this edition, Phil Wright reads ‘The Joy of Setts’ from Rouleur 110, Paul Maunder’s detailed tribute to the cobble.
