Gamut TTr direct-mount chainring


GAMUT’S DIRECT-MOUNT TTr ring is available in 28 to 34t sizes and fits SRAM GXP cranks with a removable spider. It’s also available in bolted versions for other cranks, including Shimano XT and XTR.

Fitted sans chain guide and used with a clutch rear mech, ours has survived its fair share of rough-and-ready riding without shedding its chain once (a problem we’ve occasionally suffered with other aftermarket rings). It’s holding up nicely after a few months of harsh weather and slop, and the 71g weight is competitive.

The price is level with Race Face’s GXP-compatible rings, but there are cheaper options available from other brands.

Price 82$

The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Dave Hemming’s Fat Chance Yo Eddys

WHO IS DAVE HEMMING Dave first appeared in the mag in 1989 and, after becoming the first Brit to win a World Championships medal, was picked to ride for Team MBUK in 1991. He went on to race DH for several years, in-between numerous hare-brained feature missions. These days, he dabbles in everything from enduros to Ironmans, while working for Swiss/Italian brand X-Bionic. WHY THIS IS A SUPERBIKE? -A ’90s classic has been reborn -The original Yo Eddy is pure anodised retro radness -Its new counterpart is the perfect blend of old and new school, combining classic styling with an up-to-date ride It’s crazy to see how far things have come since the early ’90s. At that time, racing downhill on a hardtail with a 90mm stem and the seat up your arse was just what people did. While the technology seems primitive now, bike companies more than made up for it when it came to anodising!
