I’m fired up to be officially rolling with @lightbicycle this season! It’s always exciting when a partnership comes together organically and this one has been building behind the scenes for a while.
I started testing their wheels quietly this winter and put the gravel set straight into the deep end on the Spirit Tour as their first real ride.. the perfect proving ground! Rough roads, long days, unpredictable conditions. I came back thoroughly impressed. The ride quality felt dialed from day one and the durability gave me total confidence to push hard without second guessing equipment.
What really has me excited is Light Bicycle’s range of wheel options. From 1000g featherweight race day climber setups to 55mm deep, wide rims built for speed and everything in between, they truly cover it all.
And those waved Turbo rims on my road bike? Not only do they look cool, but I’ve genuinely never ridden a wheel that handles crosswinds so well. Stoked to have the right tool for every course this year! 🔥

Another high-end Brompton T-Line out of the Twisted Wheels workshop, built for one of my UK followers.
Not the lightest Brompton I’ve ever built, but easily one of my favourite all-round setups: wide gear range, properly fast, practical, and ready for the upcoming Brompton World Championship in London 🏁
A lightweight build that you can actually ride hard, not just hang on the wall.

One month out from the Tour Divide: on June 12th, @meaghanhackinen will take off with the Grand Depart in Banff, AB, with the goal of besting both her 2024 effort of 15 days, 23 hours and the current Women’s record of 14 days, 23 hours, 12 minutes.
Riding a @salsacycles Cutthroat - “the” Tour Divide bike - we built her a special set of matching WG44 Wide Gravel wheels with purple Hope Pro 5 hubs. A proven wheel combination she knows and trusts.
Meaghan has been building dependable fitness and a quiet confidence in her lead up to this immense undertaking. We can’t wait to watch it unfold.

Ogni componente è lì per un motivo preciso.
❤️ENORME GRAZIE A:

@chameleonskin.bike – protezione totale, invisibile ma fondamentale ❤️
@sellesmpofficial – comfort 3D che fa davvero la differenza
@vittoria_italia_ – gomme leggere, veloci, pronte a tutto
@kogel_bearings – movimento centrale ceramico + gabbia oversize = zero compromessi

Il bello?
Questo è solo l’inizio 😎

Heifer, bovine, or slow elk, but there ain’t nun slow about this.
Turbo 40s on Pace Plus hubs (basically a machined down 240), Rene Herse SC Corkscrews, FSA cockpit, No6 Composites fork to match the tiny tire clearance in the rear, Apidura TT bag (da long way), and Swiss Stop brake system to stop this big thang—because the faster you can stop the faster you can go.
All the bike packing stuff was stripped off and is going on a lil sumn sumn new coming up.

Crystal Painted Turbo Rims: in motion or at rest, this is one of the most dynamic and eye-catching rim finishes we offer. What do you think?
Curious about the hub you hear? Maybe we’ll share that, too…♥️
