Rim Brakes Are BACK! Here's Why. | GCN Show Ep. 605

Rim brakes are not dead, in fact, they are officially BACK. We’ll be looking at the new C68, and discussing WHY Colnago are keeping rim brakes alive.

We’ve also got drop bar MTBs, the phone that predicts your FTP from just a 4-minute test, a new CEO at Rapha, the incredible biceps of Tadej Pogačar, and the now-solved mystery of a 6-month-old bear cub found dead under a bike in Central Park 10 years ago.
