Cycling tech is a forever changing landscape of innovation and development. Things such as hydraulic brakes, wireless gears, aerodynamic tubes, and gravel bikes are usually thought of as quite modern developments. However, if we look further back in history, we can see early incarnations of all of these technologies and more that just didn't take off the first time around! On this week's tech show, we also have all your regular favourites from hot tech, the bike vault, and your upgrades!
Get involved in this week's Tech Show over on the GCN App!

Ollie and Alex are back with loads of hot new bike tech this week, including a new time trial helmet, a new gravel bike AND a new time trial bike which means the death of rim brakes is looming larger than ever before… plus they discuss how to protect your bike from thieves and hopefully prevent your bike from being stolen.
How do you keep your bike safe at the cafe? I would love to calculate my power but I don't have a power meter! Is being a heavier cyclist making indoor riding less comfortable? We have a huge range of community bike tech questions on this week's Tech Clinic. Sit back and soak up all the knowledge! As usual, drop your bike tech questions in the comments.
