With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
is that a fact, or extrapolation. I know a lot of trialsy types run tensioners to prevent problems associated with horizontal dropouts (or track ends for the pedants) such as shifting the wheel under torque, and crushing the chain between the wheel and the Bottom bracket shell during cockups.
Either way, i noticed the Bolt throughs on the last video. Tis a loverly bike. Wish i had enough/any skill to warrant one
I’m pretty certain he was running Saint brakes in the latest POC film that he did with Martin Sodastream. Wondered if he found the Hope trials brakes as reliable as I did…
Awesome bike – want one…..

Nice to see a serious trials bike that doesn’t look ridiculous.

You appear to be correct. There’s no cable guides, so that’s me told 🙂
Ace bike regardless…
