Demo day @pedalabikeaway this Saturday: we still have some test ride slots available at 9:00, 13:30 & 15:00. We're hoping the sun shines like it did on us 3 years ago, and if it does Chris will be bringing out his ukulele.
In addition to the Demo day @acebicyclesmon/@pedalabikeaway are holding a tech talk in the evening.
Also a GeoMetron owners meet up ride: heading out from the cafe at 10:00 for a friendly social ride.
To book on a demo bike read the information below 😁
GeoMetron G1 test bikes equipped with the EXT G1 Storia V3, a range of frame/wheel configurations for you to choose from and our team to set the bikes up for you. The demo ride is Free of charge but does require a pre-booked test ride slot.
Configuration options include-
29", Hybrid and 27.5". 160mm or 175mm RWT.
In addition to the GeoMetron test rides, Mojo Rising will have their test EXT Storia V3 shocks available in a range of metric and imperial shock sizes.
The day will begin at 9 with test slots every 1.5 hours. The intention is to give you an hour or so to test the bike or shock. Come along for a chat, a coffee and have some fun on a bike. It's what we're all about!
We have taken a number of prebookings for our test rides already therefore if you'd like to get out on a G1 or an EXT Storia please get in touch before the day in order to ensure we will have a bike/shock available for you to test for free. Please provide, your height, weight, wheel size choice, pedal choice and riding style. For a shock demo please provide, rider weight, bike make and model, mounting hardware dimensions and riding style.
Don't be shy, if you have any questions please give us a call or send us an email.

Great to hear more on this topic. Steep seat angles (and other angles) look different and scary on a geometry sheet. Our 78/79degree seat angles have been the steepest on geometry sheets for some time. Static geometry numbers can be a rabbit hole of worry for some customers where a few milimeters or degrees become major points of concern. From our point of view Dynamic geometry is an important consideration. A slack seat angle at 75 degree seat angle loaded at 30% sag projects the seat angle even slacker, place that bike on one of the steep hills we now winch back up makes reaching the pedals, holding onto the handle bars and loading your joints quite a challenge putting us in a funny position. Having a seat in a more appropriate position supports our sit bones, allows more effective muscle recruitment and helps load both tyres when tackling steeper climbs (which is what we spend most of our time doing!) It's nice to hear more insight from Coach Joel Hardwood in this article.

GeoMetron team update:
We're re-opening at full capacity on the 14th of January. We're taking a slightly longer Christmas break. We have a few projects at our HQ that need some special attention therefore we won't be able to attend the phone lines and emails may take a little extra time to respond to. We'll likely have greasy hands or our hands full of tools.
Priority jobs will get the attention they need, if you have anything urgent please reach us on [email protected]
Also Happy New year! Here's a montage of all the builds we remembered to photograph over 2020. Each and everyone special in their own right for the lucky riders. #geometronbikes

A G1 XL Hybrid configuration coming to life. Each component spec'd for Tom's needs which we identified and tested during his demo day and the colour matching was left to Tom 🖤💜 Another completely custom G1 rolling out the door 🚚 #geometronbikes #mojorising96 #extremeshox #kontextcoffee #rideformula #hopetech #handmade #trulyhandcrafted #nicolaibikes #custombuild #sweatthedetails #happydampers #bikeyoke #hybrid #bicycledynamics #geometronservice #extralove #ourgoalyourpodium #purple
@extremeshox produce a bespoke damper for the G1 which utilises Spherical bearings in both eyelets.
They last a really long time too, we're still riding our prototype shocks which where made for us over 14 months ago and they're still on the original eyelet bearings.
Suspension dynamics change once the side loading on the damper shaft is reduced and the binding on the conventional DU bearing and pin is removed from the system.
Now without the unpredictable binding from a conventional damper and eyelets we have a much more active suspension system, it allows us to find more grip, load the bike more consistently and take on bumps with more control over the damping in ways we were unable to achieve before!
