What happened to Suvi?

These guys and gal consistently nail it. I especially appreciated the latest episode on the 1x compromise. It’s a reality many weekend warriors don’t fully understand. Yes, pro and serious amateur gravel racers use 1X, but the jumps between gears are a much bigger deal for us folks like me who average 170- watts rather than 270+.

Are you tired of sound bites, short cuts, absolutes and lack of nuance? Get a thorough, honest, in depth discussion of the topics covered by some very likeable folks doing great independent journalism at Escape Collective

I thought I’d get overloaded with all the tech talk; I was wrong. It’s engaging, informative and outstanding in the bicycle media universe.

Authoritative, informative, entertaining, and delightful. I do not enjoy road and gravel, but I listen to every episode. The Members only version of this podcast is completely worth the marginal cost. I hope to see more mountain bike tech discussion in the future.

The best

Back in the day I love Geek Warning with James Huang. I find the current hosts to be boring. There is still good content but they lack James’ entertaining personality.

Honest in-depth reviews of new bikes, gear and tools. They take no ads and no money from the industry. The best pod for honest reviews

Updating my original review below to add that while I mis James on the show, I’m really appreciating Brad Copeland on the show — his technical knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to nerd out on Dave’s level of nerdery is awesome. Excellent, intelligent, informative, funny. And that’s just Dave Rome. With Ronan and James added to the mix, adjectives fail me. A must listen for anyone with even a passing interest in bike tech and, of course, tools.

Gave 5 stars for Ronan because he recently said he didn’t see a lot of them and his articles are great. Gave 5 stars for James because he is also a fellow TWT alumnus. I started working there a year after he left so we never got to meet, but he was a legend and everyone at the shop always read his articles. Gave 5 stars for Dave and his Threaded newsletter. It’s not helping my bank account since I like good quality tools, but such is life.

The bike tech reviews are in-depth like no other, Dave, James and Ronan have a wealth of insights and experience that they love to share. This is an excellent resource for the community and worth your time to give it a listen, even if Dave's puns are sometimes terrible (they have their moments).

If you’re into cycling tech and equipment this is the podcast for you. It’s informative and entertaining.

Before you read my review, go to escapecollective.com/join and keep this thing afloat, because … … you will be looking forward to the pod each and every week. Even as a rider on a budget for whom 90% of discussed tech are out of reach, it will great to keep up with the things that are out there, and the PSAs are always spot on and apply to bikes from budget to dentist.

Been listening to this group for a while. The current format is a fantastic trip through the world of bicycle technology. Whether you work in a bike shop, are a home mechanic or just a bike enthusiast this is the show for you.

💯

Love it

You guilted me into a 5 star review.

Love listening to the group. Great info, stories and a whole bunch of laughs. Everything you loved about Caley, James, Dave and Ronan before is still there!!

Ronan was so mad about the reviews not coming in the last episode that it motivated me to actually get around to it and probably got around to it before Dave.

Longtime listener, Lifetime Member. Shout out to the geekiest bike geeks that ever geeked. Absolutely THE podcast for any and all things bicycle tech.

If you’re interested in the tech behind/inside cycling, new technologies that relate to cycling, and learning about working on bikes, this is the place to be.

Never miss a show

What more do I need to say?!?

Go become a member to get the full show (+ others). It’s worth it.

Tools, gear, and bike industry news from people who know it.

Sorry for the procrastination. 5 stars all the way! Leaving the rating was not intuitive. Had to Google how to do it.

I always look forward to Thursdays when this podcast drops. I not only enjoy the great content, but the comaraderie of the hosts. I’m a huge fan of Escape Collective generally and highly recommend subscribing. The quality and depth of their product reviews is unmatched.

My absolute favorite bike tech podcast. Can’t beat the expertise of James, Dave, and Ronan, and where would we be without Dave’s outrageous puns! Support them and the whole Escape Collective, who are changing cycling media.

Entertaining and informative. The best way to stay current on trends, tech, and practical knowledge for modern bicycles.

I was so sad when this podcast stopped happening at the old place. I am an Escape Collective subscriber, and this specific podcast is 75% of the reason.

I’ve learned so much from these folks! If you want to be in the know about what has been/will be released in the bike industry this is your podcast.

I always learn something…and end up buying new tools!

Informative and entertaining. I love these guys even when I disagree with them

THE podcast for bike nerds.

… cause Ronan guilted me today! Favorite podcast in the EC empire! Thank you for all you guys do.

The contention by James and crew is first rate! It’s the annual sub. Join me and vote with your wallet. Members only is the way to go!

Great great show, had been procrastinating rating and reviewing until Ronan torched all the silent freeloaders, well done sir. Seriously though, love the variety of disciplines they cover, and the ask a wrench eps are interesting and helpful. Keep up the great work!

All the latest bike tech news, but more importantly deep dives into the minutiae of bike tech and tools. Like so deep you have to be a real bike geek to care. All with the proper level of humor. Everyone on this show takes themselves the exact right amount of serious. Which isn’t very much.

Sorry it took me so long to rate. Love the podcast! In all fairness, I had to google how to leave a rating since I listen elsewhere. Keep it up

Best podcast for bike related news. On a side note, I miss having Caley on the show.

Thanks guys for your work putting this out there!

No

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and banter between these guys, even the sassy Irish guy.

Far and away the best bike podcast produced from the industry’s most trusted voices. If you wish you had friends solely for talking about bikes this one’s for you!

I look forward to every episode of this podcast. Great topics, good interaction between the participants. Love it when they get deep into the tech details, I learn quite of bit from some episodes. Very knowledgeable hosts, and I appreciate the different perspectives they bring each week. Keep up the good work guys, it motivated me to become a member last March.

Escape Collective has some fantastic bike racing content, but there's a lot of it on the web. By comparison, I have not seen anything that rivals the level of depth, expertise, and insight into bike tech provided weekly by Geek Warning. I was saddened when "the other place" shut down, but thrilled that the Nerd Alert band was brought back together and the product is better than ever. I do enjoy Placeholders, Pretty Serious Bike Racing and Wheel Talk, but to me, Geek Warning is truly what sets Escape Collective apart!

A really good blend of bike industry information and maintenance talk. Oh, and tools. Lots of tools.

Top notch conversations about tech stuff. Some of my favorites are all together on this show- geeks, consider yourselves warned. While I’m not a road rider anymore (and this podcast is mainly road) I will still listen to every single episode.

Once again, the nerds (geeks) come through with more great podcast content. I think at this point, Geek Warning is my favorite podcast and I always look forward to upcoming episodes. Keep up the good work! Thank you!

I have listened to the MADE, Shimano new GRX episode about three times now, and I am resisting the urge to roll a whiteboard into my dining room to take notes. Such a great episode packed with so much information. It’s just hard to get this sort of insight anywhere else. Geek Warning, you guys are great! Please keep it up. Thanks for all the effort. I know it isn’t easy.
