In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Jack Luke is joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss Continental’s new Terra Competition all-road tyre. Only available in relatively narrow widths – by modern gravel standards – could it be that Continental simply doesn’t believe wider tyres are faster? Following that, Jack and Simon discuss Microshift, its recently launched Advent MX mountain bike groupset, and whether it could be a sign of more to come on the road and gravel side of things. This week’s ‘rant of the week’ sees Simon tackling a subject close to his heart – the existence of too many rubbish kids bikes. Lastly, we end with last week’s top story – a great piece by Warren Rossiter, about gravel’s inability to settle on a wheel size (and why we probably shouldn’t be too worried about it).
