The V-10 He rides definately isn't carbon. It possibly has a carbon link however.

Peaty run's A Full Sram Kit.
X.O Gearing,
Holzfeller Cranks,
Code/Elixir.Possibly a mixture of Avid parts as I've seen him run Ultimate levers and Code calipers.
Boxxer 2010 WC's
Vivid, with Ti spring.
I think he's on Gamut this year rather than MRP as he has been for the past decade or so. He will definately not be with MRP this year, more likely he will join Minnaar on Gamut.
He runs a Large V-10 custom Geo frame.
Blackbox Holzfeller bars, Blackbox Levers, Blackbox Shifter.
DT FR2350 rims, with Kenda rubber. Although I think this year he is running Maxxis. Also runs Ex 5.1 rims
He's on a WTB seat, and 5050XX or Mallet pedals.
Oh, and don't forget the Peaty Lizard skin grips.

Peatys spec list ^^ he runs Mallets and 5050xx. It also says in an mbuk a while back that although he is better in clips he admits that he would like to be able to run flats if he could get used to them.

As for gee he runs clips sometimes however also flats. There is a poster behind me of gee taken last year of him riding in spain on flats.

Steves on e13 and he most certainly doesn't run kendas.

Gee and Steve always run clips for racing and it was only at champery that they didnt.
spd's are deffinately the way forward from my racing results this year, thats all i can say. they work for me, just depends on your riding style.

True didnt realise. Anyway point is that Steve an gee both run flats sometimes an clips sometimes but they both (look at the interviews in dirt of them) agree that flats are more practical for todays dh courses because they are alot more tech than they where.

Personaly myself I wouldn't agree with tech= flats because for me if I run flats on techy stuff i just lose the pedals and I never put my foot to help cornering so I went to clips. Thats just me though.

I haven't seen the dirt interviews but I know Peaty practices on them, not sure about racing, and Gee uses them when he freerides and sometimes when he races.

hmm not really as flats are better. Sam Hill switched to flats years ago an suddenly anhielated everything. Steve admits flats are better for dh he just doesnt ride them because he doesnt feel comfortable in them.

Also if ud read any of the other forums on hear about this most people agree on flats because they make more sense.

Stupid statement, It depends first of all on the rider, then the trail and conditions. Theres no better or worse its all personal opinion.

On the Kenda Photoshoots anyway lol thats the only time ive seen him run them is on the kenda posters.

Thats why he's probably on Maxxis, Kenda found out about his little trick.
