Rebuilding Aston Hill: The South’s Most Iconic Bike Park

The OG's Aston Hill's lack of uplift was always it's biggest drawback, the push back up was brutal!

Interview: Downhill Wheel Tech with DT Swiss

There was an issue with an early batch of EXP ratchets back in late 2020, unless you were unlucky enough to get one of those the EXP hubs seem solid so far.

Interview: Downhill Wheel Tech with Reynolds

They use the DT Swiss Sinc ones. Most racers are on standard steel though, race bikes get the snot jetwashed out of them so they go through bearings fairly quickly and running ceramic is quite the costly luxury for very marginal gains. .
