Pace RC429 Part 1: The Trail Bike Build

Pace have designed their new RC429 to be the ultimate versatile adventurer for everything from tough trail riding to rigid forked, drop bar adventuring. In part one I take it round my local singletrack with a 140mm fork, lightweight wheels and Burgtec finishing kit to see how it performs as a proper mountain bike.

Yep, sometimes doing everything unscripted drops a decent line into my head, but other times…..

great review thank you! Do you have the new solaris on your radar to test in the near future?

[@GuyKesTV]

Yes, keen to get on it ASAP

[@Grandadgreyhair]

Looks great, I have a Cotic Solaris max for just the same purpose and absolutely love it but wonder how the Pace compares as it does look good

Another great review, where were you riding Guy? Looks like a stunning forest

[@MarcusOliver2006]

Looks great. Same naming convention as Whyte and their hardtails. Another UK focused brand probably a bit cheaper 😎

Lovely looking bike that is 💪🏾 How do those tyres hold up? I'm looking to switch out from some stock assedais and need a jack of all trade combo .

This would be super niche, but is there any way you could do a guide to different types of steel bike tubing? I’ve got 525 on my new P7, but have no idea what that means different to 853.

Looks dry Kes 😂 , selfishly i wish it was muddy as my one concern with this bike is mud clearance around a 2.25/2.3 rear tyre ....
