South Downs Double Record Jockey Wheels still going strong!

Just a quick note on one the most notable rides last year.  Josh Ibbett broke Ian Leitch’s South Down’s Double record with a new time of 17 hours 47 minutes.

That involved riding non stop for 200 miles with over 7500 metres of climbing.  Josh used a few of our lightweight trick bits to help him out including our new (at the time) 5.6g ultralight jockey speed wheels.

He’s still using them, throughout the winter training, and they are still going strong.  Although superlight and thin the metal seems to hold up exceptionally well to the elements.

Josh is currently out training in Gran Canaria for the season ahead, first up, the Andalucia Bike race and then his sights are set on the UK 24 hour solo title.  Good luck.
