About this episode
Welcome back, geeks!
This week’s episode is a bit of a mixed bag, with Dave and Ronan kicking things off with a chat about Giant’s flagship factory. Things then jump to South Africa, where Escape’s CEO Wade Wallace sits down with racer and occasional tech contributor Kevin Bekenstein to chat tech at the inaugural Gravel Burn stage race.
Finally, members of Escape Collective will hear the return of Brad Copeland in the Ask a Wrench segment.
