Episode Description from the Publisher

Geek Warning gets a new voice as Escape’s new US tech editor - Jack Duncan - joins the motley crew. Together with Dave Rome and Ronan Mc Laughlin, the geeks cover a broad range of topics from Unbound tech, UCI doing UCI things, Ronan’s custom inner sole journey, and hubs that allow cassettes to fall off. Of course, members of Escape Collective also get Ask a Wrench. This week, Dave is joined by Jack Duncan to answer a number of questions from our members. Also, Dave sends his apologies to members listening to Ask a Wrench as his mic settings had changed without warning. Time stamps:  00:00:00 - An introduction to Jack Duncan  00:04:30 - Unbound tech wrap  00:16:25 - Disqualification over 20 grams  00:28:00 - Cassettes that fall off and Dave’s Public Rambling Rant  00:33:00 - Carbon inner soles are on Ronan’s mind 00:49:30 - Ask a Wrench (members only)  00:51:00 - Running a 12-speed chain on a 11-speed cassette  00:57:45 - battery drain issues in an AXS shifter  1:04:00 - How to add grip to a slippery brake lever
