Barely a week goes by without having a new gravel bike released to the market. This week then let's not buck the trend. It’s time for the Cannondale Topstone! It’s said that the Topstone takes its geometry choice from the Synapse range of Cannondales endurance road bikes. Which kinda makes sense, as if it was too relaxed it would be an MTB and too aggressive a road racing machine.

Last week Ollie and Jon tackled the subject of losing weight from your bike, and some of the most cost-effective options for doing so. We asked you fellow tech geeks to get involved with areas you’ve done it in as well as suggestions.

in case you didn’t know it’s the Vuelta Espana right now and Jon spotted something very fancy out there, it was a prototype product. A Campagnolo 12spd electronic groupset. So it had a similar appearance to the other EPS, although the rear derailleur was a fair bit larger than the Super Record mech, and it was in alloy! The same can be said for the front mech too.
