This is perhaps our most fun conversation yet! We invited Shimano’s new road brand manager, Nick Legan, over to ride Greensboro’s gravel on the new GRX mechanical group. DeFeet’s sales & brand manager, Rob Dickerson, joined us, and we kicked things off with a ride over to Watt’s bike shop for a couple beers. Then we all sat down for a roundtable discussion on aero socks, gravel groups, e-bikes and inclusivity, mixing and matching road and mountain bike groups, and a whole lot more. Want to hear what all sides of the industry think about all sorts of things? Hit play for an entertaining chat full of surprises!
