Description

The Paceline is a cycling podcast aimed at roadies, mountain bikers, commuters, cyclocross enthusiasts, those who grind gravel—indeed anyone who claims cycling for their own. The bicycle is more than a thing, it’s an issue. The Paceline also discusses the bike’s place in society. The hosts love bike gear so expect some banter about what works and what does not on the road and trail. The podcast on two wheels. No training wheels needed. The Paceline is hosted Patrick Brady and John Lewis, and is a production by The Cycling Independent.

I just made my first foray into the paceline podcast, and 2 minutes in. I'm unsubscribing. you ought to keep your doping speculation inside your own festering head.

Thanks for the podcast and ideas put forward. It's nice to have drivetrain options, but in my opinion one aspect around suitability for application is the cost of ownership over XX,XXX miles. For people who put in the hours or go through their gear, that's a lot of expensive SRAM cassettes and chains, and over the total life of ownership makes Di2 look very affordable in comparison.

Rodriguez bikes are handmade... they have stock and custom. Starting at $2,799 stock... extra $200 for custom and that's for a complete bike. They'll be my next bike. Love your show!
