Dave Bowkett's Relentless 24 2016 Bike Setup
We asked our Team Tredz rider Dave Bowkett what setup he'll be using at the Relentless 24 race on 29th October. Good luck Dave, we're cheering you on.
Rollers
My rollers don't need much room, nor does the turbo. Laptop and Netflix is essential though.
Bike Lights
High-powered lights are essential for the Relentless race. These lights are also pretty necessary for winter riding
Bottles & Cages
Two bottle cages, in a full suss frame! Definitely wanted on this race.
Rotor Rings
Rotor rings have long been a staple upgrade for me and really work! Dropped down to a 32T for this long distance. Carbon cranks and Shimano pedals give great, comfy power transfer.
XT Groupset
This is my Xt groupset with a 11-40 cassette, sitting on Roval Carbon 29er wheels. Schwalbe Rocket Ron's are a great all round choice for what's likely to be a wet muddy course.
Rockshox Sid Fork
Rockshox Sid fork with Brain technology automatically locks out the fork when needed. You'll also spot the RRP Enduroguard fitted too.
Fizik Ardea Saddle
The Fizik Ardea vs saddle is a firm but comfy favourite while the Swat kit holds vital rescue items in a self sufficient race scenario.
Enve Carbon Bars
Enve carbon bars with ESI foam grips for the cockpit. My Garmin 520 provides time, HR and lap counting. Exposure's lights are not only super bright but Reflex Technology automatically boosts the lumen output on bumpy terrain and saves battery on smoother sections - easy life!
