We're big fans of thru-axles and disc brakes on road bikes here at GCN. So much so, in fact, that Simon couldn't quite hide his excitement at Mavic's truly innovative quick release thru-axle. You might have seen the short clip over on our Facebook page, but here's more on it. Would this help you to make the move over to thru-axles and discs? Let us know down in the comments.

There are plenty of other tech highlights in this video – it is an almost-8 minute tech special, after all – but, quickly (and if you're interested), you can find a 2 minute bike wash, Zipp's Disc-Disc, Rotor's very cool mobile app and more on some cool new bikes from our friends at Orbea.
