In recent years all the cycling helmets we’ve used have featured MIPs (Multi Impact Protection System). We think it’s a great innovation and this Global Cycling Network video explains why…

Peak mountaineering are running another one of their weekly giveaway. This week there’s a Muc-off punk powder bundle up for grabs……

If it's Wednesday it must be time for our next Christmas Friendly Friday Giveaway - which we realise doesn't really make sense! We just want to pack as many as these as possible in before we run out of posting days until Christmas and normal rules don't apply :)

Anyway, this giveaway is one for the bikers out there. We love the efforts Muc-Off are making to offer sustainable solutions to the climate crisis and so here we have one of their superb Punk Powder bundles available for FREE. Any cyclist will love this.

Details about Punk Powder and how to enter the giveaway are available via the link below and it only takes a minute to enter. Our next giveaway (featuring some very lovely Tilley Hats) will go live next Monday. Good luck.

Today was a Sealskinz socks kind of day...

They are the perfect accompaniment too wet weather riding. The socks use a hydrophilic membrane which is 100% waterproof but then also pulls moisture away from your skin. So, they are great for keeping your feet dry on wet rides.

We are starting to share some Peak District National Park mountain bike ride guides to the Peak Mountaineering website. We hope you'll find some inspiration for your autumn adventures.

The first one, called 'Blast Into The Past', follows the old roman road out of Hope, explores the ancient trading route of Jaggers Clough and finishes in the shadow of the iron age hill fort of Mam Tor. Please do check it out via the link below. We'll be adding more guides in the coming few months so please do keep checking in.

Today we’ve replaced some freehub bearings that, as the photo shows, were very long overdue! With some new Hope Technology Ltd stainless steel sealed bearings on board this freehub should now be good for many more miles.

It certainly pays to look after your bearings. Worn bearings can cause damage to other components and, if they decide to stop working mid ride, will certainly spoil your adventure! Please also remember to keep checking them during the upcoming wet and muddy winter months - challenging conditions like these are extra tough on them!
