Things are about to get heavy with this powerhouse joining the crew. We are thrilled and delighted to welcome Nico Van Loon to the Wethepeople family.
With many of the team enjoying the increased responsiveness and feel that a shorter crank arm offers, we looked into the possibility of also moving the pedal body closer to the bottom bracket to achieve a similar feel and advantage.

Who picks the frame colours each year? And are you happy with the current colours?
Jay Schippers: The guys at Meybo decide which colour we ride each year. I think the new 2021 colours are looking great!
What's the purpose of the chain device that you guys are running?
Jay Schippers: Because we have a fixed rear end and no real chain tensioners at the back of the frame. They have built a special tensioner that is mounted/integrated to the side of the frame. It is really easy to use if you have to change your gearing, you just slide it up or down.
Do you use the same bike for pump track / trail / jump sessions?
Jay Schippers: Yes I do. I used to have a special trail jump bike. But haven’t used it for a while now.
