Broken handlebars, flexy seatposts, and power meter pedals to the (Shimano) people
Mathieu van der Poel didn\u2019t let a little broken handlebar on his Canyon Aeroad keep him from finishing Le Samyn, a cobbled race in Belgium, but why did it break? And what\u2019s up with the flexy seatposts on those bikes, anyway?\n The Nerds share their thoughts on those topics and then look into a Specialized patent for a wacky flexy seatpost design of its own. And is the wait finally over for power meter pedals for Shimano SPD-SL pedal fans? It sure looks that way.\n Last but not least in this week\u2019s episode, The Nerds bring back the \u201cWhat Bike Should I Buy?\u201d segment to discuss the ultimate one-bike solution \u2014 or if it even exists.
