Rim Brakes & Insane Power WIN Hill Climb Champs! | GCN Tech Show Ep.358

This week, Alex and GTN's Mark dive into the mind-blowing power and tech highlights from the British Hill Climb World Championships, where even holding an off-the-charts 600 watts for 3 mins wasn’t enough to win! It also wasn't a victory for disc brakes as the men's British National Hill Climb championships crown was taken by Harry Macfarlane on an epic ultra-light, rim-brake bike. 👀

Plus, they cover an insane bike design, how Zwift are potentially putting an end to discs on indoor trainers, the hottest tech from Ironman Kona, comments of the week and bike vault!
