Nicolai and GeoMetron (UK distributor) have sold over 1000x G1 frames and haven’t received a single warranty case, bear that in mind before you head to the comments to complain about the 3.6kg frame weight! The G1 frame was designed for mountain biking not sitting on scales, and so uses a DH spec downtube and is warrantied for use with dual crown f...
RRT stands for Rulezman Race Tune, I like to call it theDorGnardo. Rulezman is a suspension centre in Liguria. ‘Crazy Dave’ the owner pisses a lot of people off by telling them the truth about the products they just spent a fortune on, he’s focussed only on performance and measures everything. He’s a helicopter pilot, and can strip and rebuild a Ca...
The Storia is a fantastic low-pressure, single-tube shock and this version was designed in conjunction with the G1 frame, it has spherical bearings and coil negative spring upgrades over the standard Storia. The spherical bearings make a noticeable difference when leant over in the rough, on off-cambers and under big compressions, when the bike is ...
I have been using the SQ Lab bars for a couple of years now. This 30X bar has 45mm rise, 12º backsweep, and is 780mm wide (790mm with grips). I use this because the extra backsweep is more comfortable and in one week cured some tendonitis that was building up in my arms for a few years. I usually use the 16º version, but I damaged the end of one in...
Grip choice of the moment is the ‘711 Tech and Trail’ from SQ Lab. They are left and right-sided, come in three sizes, and are shaped with a larger flatter surface on the outside to help distribute pressure on the palm, the underside of the grip is shaped to increase surface area for your fingers to grip around – our hands are not perfectly round s...
I would prefer to run a longer dropper, but ‘Sacki’ from BikeYoke is a good friend and provides me with posts. I like his style: he won’t go longer than 185mm drop in a 30.9mm diameter as he cannot guarantee durability. I like it when people do the right thing instead of bashing out products to hit market demand. I have been using these for years n...
There are many things on bikes which can be adapted to the rider, but one of the most overlooked is the saddle. They are very important for comfort and the direct connection with your body means that they are probably the most important thing to get fitted correctly. I have 10cm wide sit bones, and SQLab recommend adding 4cm for an upright riding p...
The rear wheel is the original carbon prototype I got from Newmen last September. I have tried my best to break it – it’s made some horrific noises and has some battle scars. It’s still standing strong, despite me tempting fate by saying how unbreakable it is multiple times. I would use the matching front wheel if I had a 20mm version to fit the Do...
My go-to front tyre is the Eddy Current 29″ x 2.4″ but Michael from Schwalbe keeps asking me to not use the eMTB tyre on my normal bike as it’s not the right product category! I hope he lets me off because I love this tyre. The long rectangular blocks offer a huge amount of traction when leant over (plenty of surface area pushing laterally) and are...
I’ve been running a Rock Razor on the back for most of the year for fast-rolling, and because the lack of braking traction makes me focus more on gentle and smooth braking. With such a long and balanced bike, and the super slack head angle it is easier for me to do nearly all my slowing down with the front brake. The Rock Razor can be a little vagu...
