Fort William – the story so far

Our team of crack-shot reporters (with their own team of internet hamsters) has been touring the pits for a day and are busy uploading stories to our mobile site:

singletrack.mobi/fortwilliam

We’d recommend tuning into that one, especially if you’re there on the hill too as the images and stories are all formatted to fit mobile phones (we’ve not seen anyone up the mountain with an iPad yet…)

Here are a few of our favourite pictures so far…

The sun's out. Check the mobile site for the daily midge report.
Rachel Atherton's special fork and a tyre that we've never seen before. It merely bears a Continental logo. Interesting...
Almost as big as the GT trucks of old
Some of the Syndicate's choice of tyres and carbon rims
Orange has a classic Clockwork on display, Peaty's 2005 Fort William-winning bike and some brand spanking new stuff too.
Jared Graves' carbon Yeti 303. Nice.
Peaty's got the bunting out.

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for 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. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
