The Peaty's MTB Bike Park Finder is built to help riders find places to ride and understand what kit makes sense for the conditions. Use the map to browse UK bike parks and trail centres, then check the Peaty's setup recommendations for chain lube, tubeless sealant, trail side repair and post ride cleaning.
BikePark Wales is one of the UK's best known uplift bike parks, with long descents, rocky sections and changeable conditions. Peaty's recommends a strong tubeless setup, reliable lube and a proper trail side repair kit for full days here.
Dyfi Bike Park is known for big lines, fast tracks and serious terrain. A good sealant, plug kit, CO2 inflator and dependable chain lube are worth sorting before you roll in.
Forest of Dean is a popular trail centre with downhill tracks, enduro riding and all weather surfaces. It is a good place to prep for mixed UK conditions and regular bike cleaning after muddy rides.
Glentress has a wide mix of trail centre riding, from steady loops to harder technical trails. It is a useful spot for all weather lube, tubeless protection and a simple packable repair setup.
Whinlatter has proper Lake District weather, punchy climbs and exposed trail centre riding. Check your drivetrain, sealant and weather ready kit before heading out.
For most bike park days, it is worth carrying a tubeless repair kit, CO2 inflator, spare tube, multitool, water, snacks and a weather appropriate jacket. Before riding, check sealant levels, chain lube, brake pads and tyre condition.
For wet or muddy bike parks, a wet lube is usually the safer choice. For mixed UK conditions, an all weather lube is a good middle ground. For dry, dusty summer conditions, a dry lube helps keep the drivetrain cleaner.
A good tubeless setup is strongly recommended for most MTB bike park riding. Rocky tracks, repeated hits and high speed riding can make punctures more likely, so sealant and a plug kit are worth having.
Rinse the worst of the muck off first, clean the frame and components, then focus on the drivetrain. Once the chain is clean and dry, relube it based on the conditions you are riding next.
