The full crew is finally reunited for this week\u2019s Nerd Alert podcast! Now that Shimano\u2019s new 12-speed Dura-Ace Di2 groupset has made an appearance in the wild, we dive into what we can confirm (it\u2019s black), what we think (wiredless?), and what we hope to see (a mechanical version in polished silver!!) in the company\u2019s new flagship road components.\n We then debate the pros and cons of hookless road wheels, the idea of a flat-proof tube, and finish with an extended Ask a Mechanic segment with questions fielded exclusively from our Veloclub members \u2014 and Zach mostly kept his promise to not be too salty this time around.
