Shimano’s New SPD-SLR Pedals Are a Compatibility Nightmare
Shimano’s new SPD-SLR road pedal system promises lower stack height, reduced weight and improved performance but breaks compatibility with more than 23 years of SPD-SL pedals and cleats. In this review, I examine the new pedals, cleats and shoes, the complicated upgrade path, and whether these marginal gains are really worth starting over. ✅ SUBSCRIBE to The GPLAMA YouTube Channel ✅ To be notified of new content: https://bit.ly/3aUph9W Pricing Details: Dura-Ace R9300: US$300, £200, €230, AU$379.

We Tested Shimano's First New Road Pedals In 23 Years
Shimano has revealed SPD-SLR – its first new road pedal system since SPD-SL launched way back in 2003. SPD-SLR promises lower stack height and a more ‘connected’ feeling than ever before, but Shimano has had to make a big compromise in adjustability in order to achieve this. In this video, Simon gets hands on with the new pedals and explains all the specs and details about the new system. Then we head out for a ride to find out if Shimano’s promises stand up to scrutiny, and whether that compromise is worth making.Listen to the BikeRadar Podcast 00:00 Intro 00:07 Key Features 03:15 Ride Review 05:26 The Problem... 06:23 Conclusion 👉 https://www.bikeradar.com/bikeradar-podcast/ Follow BikeRadar on our social media channels: 👉 https://instagram.com/bikeradar 👉 https://facebook.com/bikeradar 👉 https://twitter.com/bikeradar BikeRadar is supported by Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus Magazine –For more information and to subscribe please visit 👉 https://bit.ly/3nMr3Rn For more content like this see our latest subscription offer – 👉 https://www.cyclingplus.com/subscribe-today/ 👉 https://www.mbuk.com/subscribe-today/

A Bike Fit Mistake Causing Hand Numbness (Real World Bike Fit)
Neill's Bike Fitting Online Program: https://roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentals/ Numb hands while cycling? The cause might not be where you think. In this bike fit, Neill Stanbury works with Tim, a relatively new cyclist experiencing severe hand numbness while riding — to the point where he needs to take his hands off the bars and shake them out. While excessive pressure on the hands might seem like an obvious front-end bike fit problem, this case takes an interesting turn. Neill works through Tim’s position and biomechanics, looking at potential causes including wrist and nerve compression, neck position, saddle position, hood setup, cleat position and Q-factor. One of the biggest discoveries is Tim’s limited hip internal rotation and naturally externally rotated foot position. By widening his Q-factor and adjusting his cleat position, Neill is able to significantly improve Tim’s glute and posterior-chain engagement — potentially reducing the amount of weight being transferred onto his hands. They also uncover another remarkably simple contributor: Tim almost never changes his hand position while riding. Constant pressure in one position can contribute to numbness, even when the overall bike fit isn’t dramatically wrong. In this video we cover: Why cyclists experience numb hands How bike fit can affect hand pressure Q-factor and stance width Cleat position and foot rotation Hip mobility and knee tracking Glute and hamstring engagement Saddle height and weight distribution Hood and handlebar position Why changing hand positions matters When persistent numbness may require further medical investigation If you experience hand numbness, tingling or excessive pressure on the handlebars while cycling, this bike fit demonstrates why it’s worth looking at the entire rider-bike system rather than simply changing your handlebars or gloves.

Co-Motion Cycles: More than just Tandems
Co-Motion Cycles Factory Tour: "Every bike we make is for an important person who has cast their vote for quality. For American manufacturing. For well-designed and executed bicycles that are beautiful because of their function. For a real human touch from start to finish. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you for entrusting us with the amazing privilege to make your next bicycle." - Dwan Shepard - https://co-motion.com The Right Stuff for the Job "At Co-Motion Cycles, turning ideas into bicycles is more than just giving someone an order. The bicycles we offer are a reflection of the very practical way we do things. In fact, every one of our bicycles is evolved from our past experience - from the bike we ride ourselves to those we build for our customers. We began like many other frame builders - building strictly custom bicycles. As time went on we developed stock models based on what our customers were ordering. We tracked our fitting data, and paid attention when customers asked to change an angle here or there, or accommodate a new component or innovation. Now more than ever, we use customer input to influence how we'll continue to push the evolution of the bicycle."
