[Bike Check] Sam Dale’s GT Fury

[ad3]

If you haven’t heard of Sam Dale, that’s because he isn’t the loudest or most brash character on the World Cup DH circuit.  Sam lets his riding do the talking.  A UK legend, Sam has the honor of gracing the cover of the very last issue of Dirt Magazine.  A brute of a lad, Sam has always been one to push bikes to their absolute limits.  This year, he made the switch from Madison Saracen to GT.  We’ve spent a bit of time with him today and got the full rundown on his new Fury.  He’s made some interesting comparisons to his Saracen and stated that it’s definitely been a seamless transition.  More below…

Hey there buddy...Hey there buddy...
Hey there buddy…
Sam is loving an escape from the UK winter…
Full Shimano Saint with an e.13 LG1 chainguide
Race Face cockpit. Full 800 mm width bars.
What’s this? 7 speed Shimano custom cluster?
Hope custom engraved seatpost clamps for the whole team.

The new Crank Brothers Stamp Flat pedals come in two sizes. Sam is no small Lad so he runs the bigger of the two.
FOX DHX2 – Sam is just getting familiar with his Fury so he’ll start with a 525# spring for the moment.
Stout rear end.
50:01 for the Lads…
Tidy reach.
ODI Flow Grips. We love them…so does Sam.
Sam is gonna come out swingin this year!
