Connor Hudson & Jake Hart Split Wins at British 4X Series Rounds 3 & 4
Absolutely this! I’ve loved being at the races so far this year and seeing all the 4X rigs! There’s a lot of variety from classic steel hardtails, modified trail bikes and a few purpose built bikes. Super cool, can’t wait for Afan!

Schwalbe British 4X Series Rounds 1 & 2: Chicksands Race Report
This was such an awesome event! I was there to spectate (and support Jake!) and had a blast. Good vibes, no bullshit, just racing mountain bikes. Chicksands was open to ride so I got a few cheeky laps in. Can’t recommend it enough. See you in Falmouth.

Schwalbe Reveals New Romy Tire, UltraSoft Compound & Radial Tacky Chan
100% I’ll be sticking a radial TC on the front for summer as soon as I can get my hands on one. I agree, very similar to the DHR just more better. Rolls well, grips well, best all round tyre I’ve ever ridden.

Brendan Fairclough Signs with SRAM & RockShox
“Set is hard as fuck and ride faster until it feels good” that was Mr Fairclough, right? One of my fave quotes. I’m probably misremembering it

@hamncheez: yeah…wasn’t really thinking about the patent element with my earlier comment. I agree with you.

Canyon Patent Shows Adjustable Main Pivot & Anti-Squat
I can see the merit in this. Leaving aside the genre of bike for a second, pivot location/ chainring size in most designs has a big affect on anti-squat. Everyone is different and everyone rides different terrain, etc, etc. Riders with serious elevation outside their door are effectively riding a different bike to those here in Nottingham (or even over in the Peak District). Priority on chainring size is always gonna be ‘can I get up the hills I need to’ and the affect on the suspension kinematic could go either way.
