The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters today — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.

  • Accell Group Declared Bankrupt: Raleigh, Haibike, Lapierre, Ghost and 10+ Brands Now in Court-Supervised Insolvency — If you own an Accell-brand bike, contact your retailer — not the brand — for any warranty claim; if you bought direct from Accell, seek legal advice on creditor status immediately.
  • Garmin Deploys Cloudflare TLS Fingerprinting on Connect, Locking Out All Non-Browser API Clients — Hold off on building or depending on any third-party Garmin Connect integration — wait to see whether Garmin clarifies policy or opens a personal-access path before committing to any workaround.
  • Shimano Dura-Ace WH-R9370 Officially Launches: Carbon Spokes, Replaceable Bearings, September Availability — and an R9300 Groupset Signal — If you're in the market for flagship wheels, update your shortlist — the R9370 arrives in September at confirmed specs; hold on groupset purchases until Shimano shows its full R9300 hand.
