Ridgeline IV - Gee's AM.170 set-up for riding the Dolomites 

Trips like this where we are miles from anywhere with no capacity to carry spares, so the strength of the components was key, and where we were dragging the bike up a rockface on a rope that’s a real commitment!

Set up was difficult on this trip, the bike had to be confident on the fast rocky downhill sections, then suddenly you’d be dropping into a steep smooth slick slab, with 200ft cliff edges, you had to know what the bike would do at every possible moment, and trust it completely.

I ran my tyres At 27psi, and 29psi for the fast rocky sections of the film, I wanted them firm to avoid a puncture 6 hours of hiking into the mountains, On the super steep slab I went much lower, probably closer to 22psi, I needed way more traction, in fact, my life depended on it…My bars were 780mm – I saw someone in the comments guessed 800  but where I’m sprinting along this narrow track with my handlebars just inches off the rockface that 20mm of space was vital.
