It turns out even pro teams cant get bikes or parts, either
Sorry, folks, we know our usual Nerd Alert schedule has been a little off-kilter, but we figured it\u2019d be better to shuffle things around to accommodate the World Championships \u2014 and next week, Paris-Roubaix! Thanks for your patience, and rest assured, there\u2019s more Nerd Alert to come sooner than later!\n This week\u2019s episode takes The Nerds to the UCI Road World Championships in Belgium!\n Caley, Ronan, and Shoddy scoured the team pit areas for all the shiny new bits, and they found what looks to be new hookless-compatible GP5000 tubeless tires from Continental and some interesting new rollers from Wahoo Fitness.\n Worlds is always a weird one for the mechanics given the mix of national and trade teams, and it\u2019s even weirder this time around. We\u2019ve all grown accustomed at this point to not being able to find bikes or parts, but if it makes you feel any better, it turns out that even top pro riders and teams can\u2019t get them, either. A Roubaix win on Shimano 105??? Stranger things have happened.
