Are Gearboxes the Future for Road Bikes? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 205

Shifting is an integral part of cycling (fixie riders aside!) as we need to optimise the gear we’re in for the terrain we’re riding. Some mountain bikes have now started using gearboxes in place of cassettes and derailleurs, so we've been wondering if this could be the future of changing gear on road bikes? We’ve got this and all your favourite weekly segments on this week’s show!
