Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
Last year I switched from riding SPD pedals on my bikepacking bike to flat pedals. I’ve ridden SPD’s for just about as long as there have been SPD’s and despite coming from a BMX background and being comfortable on flatties I’ve always preferred to be clipped in on a MTB. The main reason for the…
Like most people who get really into Bikepacking I’m always experimenting with kit set ups and ways of loading my bike up. For me the ultimate is to not use a backpack, it’s so nice to not be carting extra kit on my back and if that means a heavier bike I’m really not bothered….
This post details my bikepacking set up, I don’t profess to be an expert and the great thing about bikepacking is there is really no right or wrong way of doing it. So all the kit you see here is what works for me, not necessarily the lightest or the best, but it allows me…
If you’ve been in to mountain biking for any length of time, and by that I mean over twenty years, you’ll remember gazing lovingly into the adverts in the back pages of MBUK and those undoubtedly included Stif. They’ve been around since the eighties when they were Stif Sailboards, selling mountain bikes to windsurfers for…
A recent look on the equipment page on Strava revealed that my Travers and I have now spent 5000 miles together. It’s quite interesting to look back at the original photos and see how the kit on the bike has changed since it first turned up in November 2015, but I can safely say that…

A trip up into the mountains? A ride out with your friends? A weekend playing in your favorite bike park? How about a…
I met Jordan when chatting on instagram and I built up his new DH bike for him, while we were chatting he was telling me about the bike company he was starting with his mate Tim and the crazy hardtail they had planned. Fast forward a few weeks and the prototype was made and the…
After missing it last year I was pleased to get to the Bespoked Show again this year. I always love seeing the craftsmanship and the amazing bikes that get put together to show off. Fortunately, at least from my perspective, there were some lovely mountainbikes on display. Also as “Adventure” is the current trendy term…
I thought I’d give a breakdown of my bikepacking toolkit. This is the full set up I took for the Tour Divide, so in reality there may be a little more there than you would use for a couple of days riding round Wales, but in the end I had to know that I could…
My bike set up has changed quite a lot since I first dipped my toe into the world of bikepacking. My initial forays were just with a dry bag stuck on the handlebars, held on by a couple of bungee cords. Ultimately though once I got more involved it was clear something a little more…
