Journal | Hunt Bike Wheels

Cal has been with the Mason tribe since the early days. As Mason’s first full time employee, he has seen the company go from strength to strength. Spending time pedalling around Sussex on his road machine and mountain bike, Cal prefers to keep it real and simple with his riding... although on the morning commute with the rest of the Hunt guys, you wouldn’t be able to tell!

Sam is our very first OpenDev member from Australia. Having caught our attention for his 5.5w/kg output and being the head coach at @Velo.Goals, the Melbournian spends a lot of time on the bike and helping others do the same. This season, Sam has already competed in the Aussie Nationals after returning from a winter spent in Thailand (Yes, you read that correct – even the Aussies escape their own winter!).

The Adventure Syndicate is the latest group to be supported by Hunt Bike Wheels. A collection of likeminded individuals, the all female riding crew places a big emphasis on riding long distances in the toughest conditions. 

Hunt Bike Wheels is proud to announce our continued and developed partnership with Canyon Eisberg (formerly BIKE Channel Canyon) for 2018. Eisberg Wines have stepped up their sponsorship for this season, following their already-significant involvement with the team in 2017. They have replaced BIKE Channel as a title partner, following the media outlet's collapse in September.

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!

Not to be considered an infurior material, a set of alloy rim equipped wheels can offer most of the perfomance benfits of a carbon set. Realising this gave Hunt co-founder, Tom Marchment, the inspiration to create hardy wheels like the 4Season Disc and the much loved Race Aero Wide.

We sat down Tom to ask him why he belives the metallic varitey of wheels is still a fantasic material which continues to inspire new up-and-coming wheelsets.

We first came across Gustav after watching a self made film of him riding 2000km over Scandinavia. As a lover of all things adventurous, Gustav spends a lot of his time exploring on and off the bike. His social media (Instagram) is filled of his expeditions on and off the bike and are beautifully shot. 

Between adventures we managed to catch Gustav for the dreaded On The Drops Interview and find out more about what keeps this crazy Dane going!

Hank is more widely known for his efforts on the road. As a member of the Hunt supported BIKEChannel Canyon team, Hank spends the warmer months of the year racing UCI continental events around Europe and Britain. Now the off-season has fallen upon the peloton, so too has 'cross fever. 

This week's On The Drops features none other than BIKE Channel Canyon's Jack Pullar. We caught up with him on all things climbing, and were thrilled to discover his prettiest bike was the same as Ollie's...

You won't necessarily see Rich's name plastered all over the very tops of the leaderboard throughout the London x League CX season (that is a realm most of us only dream of). But if you could quantify passion and put it into some sort of order, Richard Maguire would wipe the floor with the hundred or so other names in the list. He'd then remount his bike with unparalleled elegance and stomp off up the road...

Dan is something of a local legend, and whilst not everyone will instantly recognise the name Daniel Pullen, you'd be hard-pushed to find a cyclist locally who hasn't heard the name Stravanator Dan!
