On The Spanners is set to push the boundaries of our Syndicate mechanics’ patience and their riders’ attention span, as they embark on teaching them something new each week on the bike.

Episode One see’s Jason Marsh, back home in France, get on a zoom call with Greg Minnaar out in South Africa to help him ‘burp’ his Shimano Saint Brakes.

“I’ve never bled my brakes” – Greg Minnaar, 30 years of bike riding.

If you missed checking out the Syndicate 2020 bikes, be sure to check them out here. If you enjoy technical chat, Marshy and the Syndicate mechanics also sent over a video of them talking about the mullet setup vs 29″ / 27.5.
