Champery Worlds pit tech photos
Little bit of tech from around the Champery World Champs pits
Steve Peat's World Cup steed. 34lbs on the scales.
Cam Cole's Lapierre weighing in at 38lbs
Like a lot of riders Cam has raised the front end for this track.
Sam Blenkinsop's drilled out pedals
Mechanic Jack has added this little touch to Blenkis bike. 256 is the race plate he ran when he won at Schladming. (If you're wondering why the number is so high, it was something to do with a registration balls up)
Cam is also running a modified 7 speed set up. 34t up front and 11-19 (I think) on the rear
Josh Bryceland modelling the new 2012 Fox kit
Representing Ireland, Ben Reid and his Norco.
A Lahar.
Mick Hannah's Fury has a few new tweaks, raised front end, offset shock bushings and a K9 shock bearing.
Matti Lehikoinen's rig.
Gee Atherton is running some longer linkage plates on the Commencal. Mechanic Stevie Bell told us they make the shock more linear.
Fabien Barel also going for the raised front end.
Aussie, Rhys Willemse on the 2012 Ancillotti Y. The twin top tubes have disappeared and been replaced by a single tube that from above looks like a "Y"
Dirt/Norco accommodation might not be Penthouse but mechanic Ali Beckett's bike wash bucket is.
Inside the new space age SRAM truck with Danny Hart, Alan Milway and SRAM man Torben(?)
These guys can turn out anything in this truck.
Think that could be Bryceland’s V10 seeing as its got flats……Steve’s will be a tad heavier then!?
Anyone out there still wanting to argue that flat bars / super low front ends are a good idea on DH bikes?
I see that this post has won the best personal blog in the Philippine Blog Awards 2010, and this iended is worth it. Way. If I were a judge, you could have won 10 times over. Unfortunately, I was not.I’m looking forward to more posts from you Don’t worry I’m easy to please. Hehehe!As for this one, I was touched.Congratulations!
Look closer, rainbow stripes and (I think) mallet bros pedals.
Yep, my mistake, I can see the springs now……thought the stripes might relate to him being former Junior World Champ………………also, is it me or is it weird when you see a factory bike with sram gears and brakes etc but Fox forks and shock (Cam Cole’s)!?………..god I’m bored.
Those bottle cage boss’s on Blenkys bike look handy.
Anyone know where to find those direct mount stem spacers I’m seeing between the stem and the crown?
@Greg id say they were for a crud catcher tbf
Ahhhh, sarcasm – wasted!
That Ancillotti just looks wrong
That Ancillotti looks wicked! Shame we can buy them in Australia. Good to see Rhys Willemse overseas racing again. Expect big things from this kid.
Yeah I like the Ancillotti as well. Looks good.
That Lahar looks like a full sus Trimble (anyone remember them?), just needs the fluro tiger stripes!
Anyone else noticed all the ‘snipe’ carbon demo shots have been pulled… and the article too.
Oh wait, its just dropped off the front page. My bad, sorry
Lahar and Acillotti look filthy
spandexchad – I used to ride a trimble back in the day. currently wall art (ended up cracking). currently riding a lahar; 5th season and still going strong. evidently I’ve got a thing for that aesthetic.
