017 - A casual conversation w/ Defeet & Shimano

This is one of 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!
