Team 18 rider @mackenzie_pullen is hitting the @thetordivide this weekend, with the aim of riding the full long loop in a oner!
We’ve swapped his @kavenz.cycles into 140mm mode, loaned him some lovely XTR bits and set him up with bags and even aerobars for some postioning options.
Smash it at the weekend Kenzo!
Some of you might remember @danhearn when he worked in the shop and we’re pleased to announce he’s joined #team18 as the Scottish Division
He’ll be racing the @scottishenduro and the Tartan Enduro series on his @forbiddenbikecompany Dreadnought
Give him a follow for amazing photos and dog related content!
We’ve been down to @geometronbikes to collect a few @nicolai.bikes demo bikes and they’re stunning!
We’ve got:
Small G1
Medium S16 MGU
Large S18
XL G1 GPI
Get in touch if you want to try one out - we’ve got them for a few weeks!!
We’ve just got this Hightower ready for the @thetordivide with the addition of an @aeroebikepack Spider rack, some faster @maxxisbikeuk Forecaster tyres and a bit of a tune up!
We’ve got workshop availability if you need your bike checking before the event and we’ve got stock of bags from @restrap too
We’ve had our first small delivery of @kavenz.cycles spares for #team18 rider @mackenzie_pullen and we’re about t confirm details on our VHP X demo frame, how should we build it?
We’ve got a choice of 154mm, 177mm or 200mm rear travel, black silver or purple lugs and a normal bottom bracket or @pinion.eu - we’ve basically decided what we want but how would you do it?
ELENI'S TOR DIVIDE BUILD
Built and ready for adventures!
We’re incredibly excited to share bursary rider Eleni’s Tor Divide setup, built around the brilliant Genesis Vagabond XS, kindly provided by Genesis and brought together with support from our amazing partners.
This build is made to take on any bikepacking trip, and everything the Peak can throw at it:
• Schwalbe Thunder Burt 2.1” tyres
• DT Swiss GRC1400 27.5” wheels with DT240 hubs
• Tailfin long top tube bag for easy snack access
• Tailfin Cargo Pack
• Tailfin Bar Cage with accessory mount (not pictured)
Alongside the bike, Eleni is also being supported with coaching from @acier.cc and a professional bike fit from @peak_bikefitting to make sure everything is dialled for the demands of the route.
A huge thank you to everyone supporting the Tor Divide bursary and helping make this possible:
Genesis, Ciovita, Tailfin, Schwalbe, Acier, PeakBikefitting, 18Bikes and BeespokeWheels.
We can’t wait to see where this bike takes Eleni!
