Lights, camera... action?
The Nerds had quite a few new bikes to talk about this week, and a lot of details to debate, especially regarding Cannondale\u2019s new Synapse.\nOn the one hand, it\u2019s strikingly normal now with no proprietary fittings whatsoever (even a threaded bottom bracket \u2014 from Cannondale!). But there\u2019s now also a fully integrated onboard battery powering built-in lights and a custom rear-facing Garmin Varia radar. Is this a good thing, or is it a little half-baked? Meanwhile, Canyon has moved away from threaded to PF86 for its latest Endurace range, which seems nuts at first\u2026 but is it, or is there more nuance to it?\nWe also discuss SRAM buying computer brand Hammerhead, the same end for Bowman Cycles, and we hammer through a small army of Ask a Mechanic questions. Don\u2019t miss it!
