The last piece of the puzzle

Talk of big wheels continue to dominate headlines in the cycling tech world. This past week, Trek and Scott raced production-ready 32ers at the World Cup round in Utah, while Sea Otter Europe showcased other production-ready options. With that, Dave Rome chats with Escape’s Suvi Loponen and Alex Hunt about what they each saw in person at these respective events. For Suvi, Sea Otter Europe, with about 80,000 attendees this year, offered an opportunity for a vibe check from members of the European bicycle industry. Members on our member-only feed will also hear Ask a Wrench, this week with Zach Edwards. Time stamps: 00:02:00 - Big brand 32ers revealed  00:09:45 - Sea Otter Europe  00:14:00 - Suvi rides a 32er  00:18:00 - Other big things seen at Euro Sea Otter  00:19:00 - Tyre options are growing quickly 00:23:00 - Industry vibe check at Sea Otter  00:27:00 - On-the-ground interviews 00:51:00 - Ask a Wrench (members only)  00:53:00 - How to service a cartridge bearing  00:59:00 - When to measure chain wear (and our go-to tools)  01:08:00 - How to deal with a rusty part
