Just after Darren Berrecloth sent us his report about his practical experience in Kenya at the Urge Kenya function there were some thoughts about what bicycle he was riding. I fired him an e mail and he sent back again some pictures of the bike as effectively as a couple of his other new toys. I imagined I'd discuss them. First elements to begin with. As part of the event in Kenya riders had to carry their bikes all the way to the top of Mount Kenya which tops out at 4850 metres. For that reason on your own it designed impression to bring a nice light bicycle – but a single that would be able on the downhill. Darren attained for a carbon Specialized Enduro outfitted with his sponsors' gear. Up front the Claw strapped on a Fox 36 Talas although an RP 23 – also from Fox – sprung the rear stop. Crankbrothers' Mallet pedals kept him and the bike from turning out to be disengaged. For tires he selected the Specialized Chunder Just one Ply up front and a Just one Ply xc in the rear. A Shimano XT Shadow took treatment of shifting duties though Shimano Saint disc brakes kept velocity underneath control on the African descent. Mavic Crossmax SX wheels held items rolling. Speaking of sleds – here's the Claw's manufacturer new full custom made sled. Just one of Darren's friends is embarking on a custom made sled establishing enterprise and this is his 3rd develop. Here is what Darren had to say about it: "The thing is a dream super powerful and light-weight and the design and style as a total is ridiculous.".
