Episode 61 of the road.cc Podcast is slightly different to what we had planned originally, because Shimano has finally acknowledged that there might be an issue with some of its previous generation Ultegra and Dura-Ace cranksets... We discuss what happened, how it compares to other big bike industry recalls in the past, what Shimano has had to say so far and what we think about the whole saga. We also sent some broken cranks off to a doctor of mechanical engineering, and discuss the findings from his report in brief. 

In part 2, Jamie nerds out with Matt Harvey of Enduro Bearings to talk about everything bike bearing-related. Are ceramic bearings really worth it? Find out everything you need to know!
