THE CASSETTE #12: ADVENTURE TIME

This week's edition of The Cassette comes from Adventure Syndicate rider Jenny Graham. Because Jenny rides a long way she decided that single tracks were not suitable and instead gave us five albums! Fitting when your spending days on riding across a mountain range or through an entire country.

#REDEFINEWIDE AERO TESTING EXPLAINED: WHEEL ENGINEER LUISA GRAPPONE WEIGHS IN ON RESULTS

Hunt Aero 1

Aerodynamics has long been something considered inaccessible to many riders. We want to change that. Up until now, only very few have released results yielded from wind tunnel testing. After travelling back from the GST Gesellschaft für Strömungsmeßtechnik mbH (more commonly known as the Airbus Wind Tunnel as used by Canyon) in Southern Germany, Luisa has since reviewed the results marking the next step forward. Now she explains exactly what happens.

THE CASSETTE #11: Proper Aero

The Cassette #11

There are many secrets behind aerodynamic testing, but there is also one major oversight made when searching for those elusive #aero gains. That is, what songs are scientifically proven to be more aerodynamic than others. That's right, you heard it here first...

THE CASSETTE MIX: SONGS FOR RIDING AT 2am

You have read what wheels to use for the TCR, but what about something to keep you company in the darkest time of the night? This week's Cassette Mix comes from Josh Ibbett who has sent us over five songs (plus a few bonuses) which keep him rolling through the night.

READER'S RIDE: Josh's Mason Definition

We have featured Josh's Mason Definition and three years on make no apology for featuring it again. After dropping a line to Josh only yesterday asking if he could take a photo for this weeks Reader's Ride - no cleaning, no swapping out of different parts, just how it was since the Transcontinental Race (TCR).

TCR WHEEL GUIDE EPIC: THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR OVERLAND JOURNEY

With the first teasers of #TCRNO6 being released and the announcement that registration will soon open, the Hunt inbox has begun to fill up with enquiries about the best possible wheelset to use for the epic adventure. Hunt has a good record in the TCR, with then-Brand Manager Josh Ibbett winning the 2015 edition on our 4Season Disc wheelset. So, who better to explore the best wheel options to take on Europe than the man himself?! Take it away, Josh...

WHO'S WHO AT CANYON EISBERG? PART 1

Over the next few weeks we are going to be bringing you the who’s who behind British UCI Continental team, Eisberg Canyon. Many of you will be familiar with Canyon bikes, but what about the ‘Eisberg’?

TRANSCONTINENTAL #6 RETURNS FOR 2018

We are so happy to see that this year's TCR entries are now open. If you really lie riding your bike stupid distances, with next to no sleep while eating out of Petrol Stations and 24 hour diners then this is the perfect race for you.

READER'S RIDE: ROB'S CHARGE PLUG

We are very partial to Charge bikes... maybe it is because of how much we appreciate their comfortable saddles have been over the years! But what caught out attention on this bike in-particular was how British this build is! A bike perfect for exploring the gravel bridleways and canal paths criss-crossing the country.

9-YEAR-OLD CX PRODIGY

Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce you to Theo Sandell. At the time of writing he's no less than 3rd overall in the London X League cyclocross standings in the U10 category, just 2 points behind 2nd place after 11 full rounds of racing. With two wins and no result lower than 6th, we're dealing with some seriously consistent performances. And he's 9!

THE CASSETTE #9: Harry Tanfield

This has to one of the best backstories for how this instalment of the Cassette mix came about. We recently got in contact with the young Yorkshire native asking if he could put together 5 songs.
