A tiring and testing tire test

October 15, 2026·55 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on Geek Warning, Dave chats with Ronan about his extremely comprehensive road tyre test, published a week ago. The conversation covers how the test was run and why the data is so reliable. Then, Ronan and Dave chat about Silca’s acquisition and re-release of the analogue-watch-lookalike Omata cycling computer. Midway, Escape's US-based tech writer Jack Duncan jumps on to discuss Colnago’s new Colnago gravel bike and a somewhat peculiar wheel release from Cadex. Lastly, members of Escape Collective (on our exclusive member-only feeds) get access to Ask a Wrench, where we answer technical questions submitted by our members.  Time stamps:   2:30 - Ronan’s big and tiring project  25:30 - Silca acquires Omata  36:00 - Switching locations to Jack 39:00 - Colnago’s new G5-X gravel bike  45:00 - Cadex’s XC wheelset is a little weird 55:45 - Ask a Wrench with Zach Edwards (Member-Only)
