Journal | Hunt Bike Wheels

We were stoked when Bombtrack invited us along for the 2019 edition of their Groundwork event; a few days in the forests of Kürten in Western Germany with key media, team/sponsored riders, distrobutor staff and even a couple of lucky connected brands (including us!).

Usually around 40-50 of the "Bombtrack family" go along each year, and we sent Ollie to get the scoop on the 2020 range and suffer in the dirt. Click the link below to find out why Ollie ended up back in Belgium watching a pro Kermesse for a day, how not to remove a SRAM NX Eagle mech from a bike, and just how bad Tom Hill is at childrens-bike cycling limbo...

Dom, HUNT's Graphic Designer, has been fortunate enough to ride in many places others dream of, yet he still hadn't quite made it to mountain biking's most iconic resort. Whistler. 

Read all about the mindset and fears of packing it all in and heading for the unknown.

Throughout the years you've been sending us photos of your most precious belongings and we've been keeping a record of pretty much every bike we've seen with HUNT wheels on. We were recently going through the tons and tons of pictures and drooling over some amazing machines.

We decided to share some of our favourite ones with you

The weather may have been against us, but regardless we had a great day in Calver, meeting new people and talking bikes. Even managed to get out for some 'test runs' over in Ladybower.

Check out all the fun in the gallery. 

Further is a small group of dedicated like-minded people creating something that is ‘further’.

There are three elements to Further:

1. The Race

2. The Happening // Rally // Festival

3. The Journal

We were eager to see how Gosse would fare over the 200 kms of fast gravel around Kielder Forest and he didn't disappoint. Averaging 27 kmh (16.7 mph) over the 187 km course with over 3,000 metres of elevation, Gosse proved to be a Flying Dutchman crossing the line just 3 minutes after the winner.

The event wasn't short of drama, Gosse had a nasty puncture the night before, needing to patch his rear tyre and ride with an inner tube for the entire distance. With the help of Bombtrack, Weldtite, Panaracer, Lezyne and ourselves, we somehow managed to supply Gosse with everything needed in case of another puncture (or five), so he set off almost stress-free. If you've spent time around Gosse before a race or event, you'll appreciate this. Fortunately enough, he only suffered one. So, after a quick repair, he managed to get back on and continue with his bid for gravel glory.
