Description
Are jorts riders the least welcoming group in cycling? The Velo crew settles the great denim versus spandex debate before diving deep into this week's tech.
We test the polarizing new $500 Coros Dura 2 to see if its massive battery and seamless ecosystem are enough to dethrone Garmin, break down the aero versus weight math that the pros are actually using, and debate whether the new Öhlins GXF30 gravel fork ever really needs a lockout.
Plus: Unexplained encounters, black helicopters, and our most terrifying night ride stories for Halloween.
