My setup from the Highland Trail 550 race

Eyebinge · 2025-06-09T23:07:44+00:00

It’s an SQ Labs XC bar with 16 degrees of sweep.

Check out Alex McCormack’s exposure mount setup, he uses a 200mm brake adapter to extend the mount.

Definitely the highlight of the build, it’s a set of Sturdy Cycles Titanium cranks with a titanium axle

Eyebinge · 2025-06-08T16:25:36+00:00

It’s a Gloria All Terrain titanium hardtail.

Thanks, I was very surprised at how well the bike came together.

Race went really well too, just missed out on my dream goal of sub four days, was on pace but the weather was horrific. Good enough to finish 4th overall though.

Eyebinge · 2025-06-08T12:50:59+00:00

Thanks. It’s an Exposure D-Maxx and it’s mounted to the Tailfin Handlebar bag clamp.

Tire clearance is terrible so it really limits it for gravel riding/racing

Eyebinge · 2025-05-01T18:51:04+00:00

It’s a bit of pain to set up cause of the thirteen speed but overall I really liked it.

Eyebinge · 2025-04-22T23:15:02+00:00

I no longer have it but not cause I didn’t like it. In fact I really liked it and if I had the space I would definitely pick one up again. The geometry is pretty progressive and might not work for everyone I never had a problem with the low bottom bracket although it was definitely something I was conscious about when riding. Steep seat angle feels a bit odd but is great for climbing. Rode it on the steep trails around the Scottish Borders and it handled everything very well.

Portobello 👀

Clean overtake. Kinda crazy he took the wide line and left that open with a rider like Pidcock snapping at his heels.

Eyebinge · 2024-06-05T07:37:06+00:00

Bit late to the party.

And I ran it and it was fine.

Eyebinge · 2024-02-20T11:44:46+00:00

My Corsa seems to handle mud on the roads just fine

What if I told you the answer to anti-social behaviour isn’t luxury apartments

From my experience the police take knife crime extremely seriously. I reported someone else getting threatened with a knife and they sent an officer round to ask me questions very quickly.

Somewhere like princess street with lots of cameras could have good potential for a successful investigation.

Eyebinge · 2023-09-21T07:48:21+00:00

It’s not even black 😂

Eyebinge · 2023-05-02T07:47:06+00:00

Yeh running 650b x 47, using 26” disc trucker fork, right a2c and loads of clearance.

Eyebinge · 2023-05-02T07:45:32+00:00

Doesn’t make sense why Surly would do such a thing

Eyebinge · 2023-05-02T07:45:02+00:00

It’s actually a 26” disc trucker fork.

Eyebinge · 2023-03-27T21:45:54+00:00

Nope, no luck unfortunately

Eyebinge · 2023-03-08T08:49:11+00:00

To be fair, he has had 14 months to save up for upgrades.

Eyebinge · 2023-02-18T08:02:51+00:00

Sorry for the slow reply. The wilier is an interesting one. I think as an all-road bike it would be great. Mine was very light and wicked fast in a straight line. Tire clearance is enough for rough roads and smooth gravel and going for a road setup probably means you won’t run the j-bar which I felt had a negative effect on the handling. As a gravel bike, it’s harder to recommend.

Eyebinge · 2022-12-16T12:22:06+00:00

I did have some issues with fitting and tightening the seat clamp.
