@seido_components is a parts and accessories brand from the lovely people of @bombtrackbicycleco - looking to add their slant on all things non-frame, you can expect to see some new things coming soon.
1st up is the MGV fork with low-rider capability and inner dynamo routing, it's made from UD carbon and will swallow a 29"x2.25" tyre.
However, with plans to release a crankset, saddle, seatpost, wheels and more it's a brand to keep an eye on as the knowledge and experience the team there has will result in great products we're sure.
The MGV fork will also be the first available item from Bombtrack early May, all other parts will be available already the following month.
Price for the MGV Fork as “kick-off” for SEIDO is €349,99 / £299.99 / $467.08.

The northern ADVNTR team have reviewed the R4A All Road wheels from @scopecycling - Mark decided to buy them they are so good.
Read it over on ADVNTR.cc, Link in bio.

Starting out with 3x9 and then stepping into the modern world of 1x11 living @drummondphoto has ever so gradually reduced the numbers of clicks available to him on his bike.
So perhaps singlespeed was simply a long awaited inevitability, well whether that was the case or not - it is now here and if you would like to know some of his reasons for doing so, and how to do it, jump over to our Youtube via the Link in Bio for that and more.
The relatively simple process just requires a little patience, a handful of components and if youre feeling adventurous alot of extra crank spacers.....
Made possible using a handful of @gussetcomponents such as their 1-er Conversion kit and Squire chain tensioner.

Before Christmas we excitedly announced that we were looking to involve some awesome members of the cycling community in our Big Light Test.
The response was excellent and we are happy to say that two brilliant new contributors have been selected to help out!
Say Hi! to
Farooq ( @chaudmo5 )
A keen Audax rider based out of Bristol who will be making use of the @niteriderlights Lumina 1500 over some long winter rides including an already impressive 500km Audax over the festive break.
and
Neil ( @handbikepacking )
Based out of West Yorkshire Neil is a handcyclist who loves to get out on the trails and fire roads around home and around Scotland, trails that have recently been lit up by the @Lezyneofficial Micro Drive XL he has on test.
We are pumped to have involved some new members of the ADVNTR community and really look forward to seeing how they get on with the lights during their adventures over the winter months and beyond.
Be sure to follow their journeys and stay tuned for more light reviews as the month rolls on.

Winter campouts are always made better by planning ahead, and ensuring you dont underestimate how conditions might worsen.
Sometimes its worth packing that extra pair of socks, bringing the sleeping bag liner or even some long johns to keep the shivers at bay.
On test here is a @tailfincycling aeropack with panniers that is going to see some long winter nights and days attached to different bikes with ease, thanks to its smart and effective quick release system.
Before we show you all that though, just look at the frost on those buckles eh?
Do you have an item that you wont go winter camping without?
**and dont say a hotel room key :)

Winter rides are unlike anything else, the snow creates a different world, the frost makes for wonderful shapes and catches the light so uniquely.
But - it can be really, really cold.
And while we are testing all sorts of wet weather gear, we are also getting to know more and more excellent insulating fabrics which will see you go further in colder conditions with a smile on your face.
From down, to fleece and primaloft to polartec there are all sorts of benefits to each.
The list goes on, and of course layering is a big factor, and we are compiling some of our go to solutions..
BUT!
Do you have a favourite??
Also - how nice does a frosty bridleway look just after sunrise??

In February 2020 the first @atlasmountainrace took place, a 1145km race through the foot hills and heart of the Atlas mountains in Morocco, nearly 190 riders took on the course that was simply beautiful and somewhat ruthless.
@drummondphoto wrote of his experiences while taking part in not only his first bikepacking event but first race on two wheels ever.
The diary has been split into 4 pieces and the first can be read over on the site.
"These revelations in geology proving early on the satisfaction that comes with traversing a landscape by bike..
...In what felt like some kind of elongated morning the 100 or so kilometres leading upto the first real climb seemingly compressed the day, time really does fly when you're having type 2 fun."
Hit the Link in Bio to read part 1 of the AMR diary by @drummondphoto and let us know if you are taking part it in the next edition, or better yet what you thought of the 2020 event if you took part.

Cold or not - if that suns been shining you'll still need to hydrate.
Water is key to enjoying that ride, just avoid splashing through those puddles which are gonna turn your feet to ice :)
Happy Christmas again everyone!

Its that day - the 25th - the gifty day.
From all at ADVNTR Merry Christmas!!
While there is a bike here in that there picture, no one here is telling you to go ride it.
If you want to, and you can. Go for it.
if you dont thats fine too.
If there is an opportunity to go outside and appreciate the fresh air, bike or no bike. Thats awesome.
We hope however you are spending the next few days, they are enjoyable, wholesome and where possible can be spent around some excellent humans.
Just remember...
If its icy, be careful.
if its dark, be seen.
if its cold, wrap up warm.
If its warm, where are you? and can we come?
Happy Christmas all!

Bonus shot - of the @gussetcomponents #beardbar railing through a berm.
A seriously comfy, practical and stylish looking set of bars that allows for all types of fun whether on the trails or gentle cycleway pootles.
Also on show here are the @enduraofficial #gv500 waterproof short which have ticked alot of important boxes in the big ADVNTR Winter group test.

Currently on test with @drummondphoto are these new bars from @gussetcomponents - Named the 'Beard' bar they are a comfy and robust alloy handlebar option suitable for Mountain bike or commuter ride alike.
At 750mm wide and a generous 40 degree backsweep comfort is king, with an added sprinkling of 20 degrees upsweep they are certainly at home on klunkers and sturdy touring rigs for sure.
First impressions are many thumbs up, and things are only just heating up.
Do a set of bars like these take your fancy? or do you prefer a more classic riser?

The Low Key Lakes Weekender
Back in september, ADVNTR friend and contributor Will Jones aka @zetlandcycles set out to create an event that bucked the trend of savage miles, PBs and sufferfests.
The Low Key LakesWeekender is an all analogue good time, with map reading, happy smiles and some good old landscape appreciation.
Not only that Will set about curating a beautiful document of the event by encouraging each rider to shoot a few rolls of film too!
Intrigued?
So were we!
"Not everyone has access to multiple bikes, or one capable of smashing along boulder strewn pathways, but they should still have the opportunity to have an adventure."
We couldn't agree more, so head on over to the site via the Link in Bio to see a wonderful gallery of images from the day and also what Will had to say about putting the event together.
