Describe your style in 3 words - Loose, Flat-out, Foot-out

Whats your favourite bit of kit on your bike?

My favourite bit of kit has probably got to be my forks because they are just so plush

Do you have any prototype parts or stuff the public can't get hold of on your bike?

Yeah probably the seat. its the new one from kore, its like a slimmed down version to save a bit of weight. You can't get hold of that yet.

How would you describe the set up of your bike?

I usually like it quite soft so i've got more traction in the turns. I like my bikes to be quite short and have a high front end so its a bit easier for manuals

Whats your best results this year?

I have had some firsts and seconds at the national series. So far it's been a pretty good year.

What part makes the biggest difference on your bike?

Its probably my forks again. But the frame makes a massive difference with it being so short and what i like, it suits me perfectly it corners really well.

A big thanks to Joe Mallinson. Stay tuned next week for the next Bike Check...
