This week we're joined by ultra-endurance cyclist Chris Hall as we chat about the latest controversy surrounding hookless wheels and the calls for them to be banned from the pro peloton. We also discuss a bizarre story of a pro team's "attempted fraud" (the UCI's words, not ours). Plus we talk to Chris about his journey from a corporate day job to becoming an adventure cyclist.
