Riding The Gravelton Peaky Finder on Single Speed Gravel Bike

#bike #gravelbike #singlespeed #cycling #cyclist
We are going single speed in this gravel bike ride episode of downhill smooth tarmac - taking on the Gravelton Peaky finder!
I’m joined by Scott riding his Genesis Flyer, and I’ll be riding my trusty Charge Plug!
Chops, JC and Dave are also along for this one too - but they’ve got gears….
The ride takes in the Tissington trail, high peak trail and Carsington water - all a great introduction to riding in the Peak District without too much climbing.
We did chop off a tiny bit of the route, but this still became 40 miles of single speed gravel for me and Scott - so we were happy.

What SS gravel bike do you ride. Do you have any reccomendations? Was looking at the Genesis Flyer

[@Downhillsmoothtarmac]

I ride a charge plug, which I’ve modified a fair bit, custom wheels etc, Scott rides a Genesis Flyer - it’s a really nice piece of kit and great value, and it would be the one I’d go for.
Dave, who is also in the video, is a Genesis dealer in the UK, so could help you with getting one.
Check out pickeringsbikes.co.uk and give them a call if you want a flyer!!
