Is the new Colnago cool or has it lost its way? We’re diving into the brand’s shift from its artisanal roots and legendary racing heritage. Then, we tackle efficiency on group rides—sprint back to the pack or pace yourself?
Also, slow leaks: do they increase the risk of blowouts? For climbing struggles, we share strategies to maintain a steady cadence on steep gradients. And in an unexpected twist, a parent asks if there’s a way to “slow down” a new road bike for their adventurous 12-year-old. From reversing aerodynamics to improving bike handling, we’ve got tips to balance fun and safety.
