Mavic weren’t simply his employer, but in addition his sponsor – he’s working a pre-production set of carbon Crossmax SLR wheels with a 25mm inner width rim.
With no sponsor for his drivetrain and brakes he runs workhorse Shimano XTs, however with Brake Authority pads and discs (180mm entrance, 160mm rear).
The one a part of his drivetrain he’s supported for is the crank – a Raceface Subsequent SL to maintain the burden down. For this race, he ran a 30t chainring paired to a typical 10-50t Eagle XX1 cassette on the again. The non-driveside of the crank and each bar ends are full of tyre plugs as light-weight tyres on these trails have a nasty behavior of selecting up punctures, which have determined the race on multiple event.
He runs a Raceface cockpit, with a low-rise Subsequent SL bar, trimmed right down to 750mm and a 60mm stem – not your commonplace XC racing setup, even when the stem is flipped to maintain the stack top down. Whereas he does not measure every component of the cockpit he’s very specific about their place and it normally takes him just a few rides with a brand new bike to get them in simply the correct place. The saddle is a minimal Selle Italia X-LR, perched atop a 150mm drop Fox Switch put up. In a considerably uncommon transfer, he runs the shock distant on the right-hand aspect of his bars.
