Journal | Hunt Bike Wheels

What do you get when you combine an obsession with #aerogains; a love for power meters; the ability to talk all day about Mario Cipollini; and the in-house Hunt rouleur? Yep, this week’s On the Drops is with the On Road/CX Brand Manager Ollie Gray.

It is not often you get to meet some of the best rider’s the UK has to offer… and it’s even better when you get to ride with the entire Canyon Eisberg squad. Last week the HUNT team was lucky enough to do just that, and head out into the Hampshire and West Sussex countryside for a 115km jaunt. We would be kidding ourselves if we were to say that there was no wheel-sucking! Regardless, the HUNT team proved strong to launch multiple attacks… off the back…

The second instalment of Reader’s Ramble comes from rider Andy White, husband of our very own Sarah White! Keeping it local to the Sussex/Surrey area, Andy has a 120km route perfect for your Saturday bunch ride. It’s a little challenging, but very much doable and with lots of café/pub stops on route – perfect if you ask us!

Adventure rider, Josh Ibbett, has now returned to the UK with us extending out a big warm 'welcome back to the team’! We can’t believe that it has taken so long for us to catch Josh for the dreaded On The Drops! probably because he has been on some col in the Pyrenees or in a Mexican desert…

Adam has been a longtime follower of the Hunt story. As a mate of Dan Clark’s (Technical and Dispatch), Adam is frequently out exploring on this super versatile machine. As one to frequent the Lakes District or laps around Surrey/Sussex bridlepaths here in Hunt’s backyard, Adam has built this bike up with the ability for it to go the distance with minimal fuss.

We put Josh to work and asked him to devise the very first Hunt Bike Wheels Selectometer for wheels you would take on races like the TCR, Indy Pac, Trans-Atlantic Way or Race Across America.

Kicking off this first instalment is a ride everyone at TheRiderFirm has done. Created by Road and CX Brand manager Ollie, World Famous includes nearly 80km of Sussex/Surrey lanes and roads we love to head out on come the weekend. And if you’re interested in the name... click here...

The road season for Canyon Eisberg has truly taken off, after taking on a double-header this weekend just gone. Seven riders took on both The Netherlands' biggest single-day race, the Ronde Van Drenthe, and the Rabobank Dorpenomloop Rucphen.

When this Storck Aernario came through on our Instagram (@huntbikewheels) we immediately got in contact with Jason asking for some more! I think it is fair to say the Hunt team have a Storck obsession…

This week’s Cassette Mix takes us through Canyon Eisberg’s hitter, Max Stedman. Taking out the General Classification in the Tour of Quanzhou Bay as well as climbing to victory on the Queens stage, he certainly knows how to move a bike fast! 

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!

The MASON x HUNT relationship is one which regularly features in the HUNT Journal. It is a relationship borne from the foundation of shared values. With a total of three wheelsets paying homage to a relationship built on similar values, we think it worth delving into how MASON x HUNT came to be.
