long fast days in the saddle
LAMB Pinion GRAVEL & ADVENTURE BIKES
The LAMB is perfect for both multi-day gravel riding and Bikepacking. Developed on the South Downs Way (SDW). It has loads of bottle points for luggage and bottles. Tyre clearance is 75mm so it will fit 29x2.4” tyres easily with clearance for mud. The LAMB will also run drop bars and with a 30.9mm seat tube this bike will fit a dropper post. We have a limited supply of gearboxes from P1.18 , P1.9XR and C1.12. All are GATES CDX Carbondrive compatible.
PINION EQUIPPED MOUNTAIN BIKES NEXT LEVEL MOUNTAIN BIKING: A central, low centre of gravity for excellent handling and unrivalled riding dynamics, minimal maintenance, and a superior, perfectly graduated gear range – mountain bikes with Pinion gearboxes are made tough for your next offroad adventure. Whether it’s a multi-day tour, a demanding enduro stage, or a World Cup downhill course, Pinion shifting is the definition of consistent and reliable performance.
Rock n Rollout Dropouts
The RocknRollout Dropout is at the heart of the OLSEN frame design. We have focused our design around the rear derailleur dropout, but taken it further. Most bicycle frames have replaceable dropouts, but they do not allow for anything other than a derailleur. This idea came from the fact that UK riders often have a winter bike, which is often single-speed.

headset zs44 ec44
I chose the straight 44mm Headset "standard" for several reasons. They are straight and keep a simple look, while hiding their versatility. Zero Stack 44mm (ZS44) top or bottom cups and the External Cup 44mm (EC44) bottom cup. In SHIS codes 44/44 allows for both Tapered Carbon fork steerers using ZS44/EC44 and is backward compatible with straight steerers with either a crown reducer or a ZS44/ZS44 headset.
Hope Components
We specify Hope components on our Pinion bikes. The Pro 5 wheels make a huge improvement, offering the right balance between speed of pick-up, load capacity, durability and drag. Hope have increased the points of engagement (from 44 to 108) using an offset 6 pawl freehub design, where 3 pawls are engaged at any time. This means that the Pinion gearbox does not have as much lag between each gear. Pro5 hubs make the perfect Pinion partner in any colour.
