Has Cycling Tech Gone Too Far? | The GCN Tech Show Ep.16

It's the GCN Tech Show! This week we're asking has tech gone too far? Do we actually need all of the 'advancements' in cycling tech that we talk about all week? As always we'd love to know your opinions.

Do we actually need 12 speed? Can you even tell the difference with a super bike? It sometimes feels like cycling tech advances for the sake of advancement, rather than to fix any real problem. So this week we're asking whether we've actually had too much advancement, has tech gone too far?

We've also got a load of new gravel tech, a super comfortable seat post, and the Scott Drop-In handlebars get inducted into our hall of fame.

Don't forget to send your bike vault submissions into the email address tech@globalcyclingnetwork.com
