The Godfather of British downhill racing, has a new Santa Cruz big rig.
Steve Peat might no longer be racing downhill World Cups, but the British mountain biking legend still likes having a downhill sled in his quiver.
Santa Cruz has kept Peat on its Syndicate factory team, in an ambassadorial role and Peaty’s 2021 V10 has now been revealed, as the summer riding season rolls closer, with each passing week.
Peat’s new XL V10 rig is rolling Maxxis Minion DHR II tyres front and rear, sized 29×2.5” and 29×2.4” respectively.
Pressures? Even without inserts, Peat inflates those DHR IIs to only 23psi up front and 25psi at the rear. Peaty’s eponymous rim tape and sealant keep those Maxxis tyres confidently seated on Santa Cruz’s Reserve carbon rims.
What Is Grip Tape?
As the name would imply, mouse grip tape is a rubberized material with an adhesive side that can help you in gripping your mouse easier, therefore allowing for more control.
Grip tape has been used extensively outside of gaming in sports like baseball or hockey where athletes will use it to wrap the handles of their bats/hockey sticks for more grip.
There is no clear data on how exactly grip tape became a thing for mice, but most likely gamers seeking any form of competitive advantage thought of using it and created a trend.
