Fort William - the story so far - Singletrack World Magazine

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.
