Mining For Loam
Mountain Bike Rider|June 2017

Hewn from an old quarry Antur Stiniog is rocky steep armoured.... and now loamy

Mining For Loam

Antur Stiniog has something a little different for you this year. Not the typical all-weather trail the venue is known for, but a more natural-feeling section of single track going by the name of Bendigeidfran (Bendy G for short).

This new trail consists of 550 metres of handmade berms that are very much focused on flow. Completely unsurfaced and dug by local volunteers, it's packed with turns to make the most of the height. The last third is pretty steep, and by the time the uplift trailer is in sight it's turned all rocky and rooty.

100% GLENDALE GLASSES

When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view, allowing you to focus on the terrain in front of you. The Glendale is absolutely vast, and actually has a lens size akin to a full downhill goggle, so you literally can’t see the top or sides of the frame.

DMR STAGE 2 MTB RAIL SADDLE

DMR's new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped it in a new skin and added some harder-wearing reinforcement to the edges. It's also toned down the lairy graphics; this saddle only comes in plain black.
