Mountain Bike Rider - September 2022

KEEPER OF THE PEAK
Social media, when used right, can make a huge positive impact. Just ask Chris Maloney, aka Keeper Of The Peak, the man who decided to set up a Twitter account to help mountain bikers plan their rides around the Peak District, but ended up delivering real change. We head out on a ride to see how “making a polite nuisance” of himself helped put mountain bikers on an equal footing with other, more established user groups.

LONGTERMERS
Ben Smith gets to grips with the Privateer 141 and its burly Öhlins build. Plus Sean heaps praise on the Sonder Signal’s generous geometry, JD switches his tyre set-up back to the original OEM Butcher combo for dry weather grip, and PB adds a 250Wh EnergyPak Plus range extender to his Reign E+ 1 to give his bike a little more grunt (and weight).
