Pinnacle Arkose 2 Gravel Bike - Blue

The Pinnacle Arkose 2 is designed as a versatile drop-bar bike that excels on mixed terrain, including paved roads, gravel paths, fire roads, and light off-road trails.

Yes, the bike has clearance for tyres up to 700 x 47c or 650B x 50. Always ensure there is adequate clearance between the tyre and the frame/fork, especially when riding in muddy conditions.

The bike is equipped with TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes, offering reliable stopping power across various weather conditions.

While capable of light touring and bikepacking due to its robust frame and tyre clearance, it is primarily designed for gravel and all-road riding. For heavy touring, a dedicated touring bike might be more appropriate. Check for specific rack mounts.

Typically, bikes like the Pinnacle Arkose 2 are sold without pedals. It is recommended to purchase pedals separately to suit your riding style and preference.

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.

The WTB ST i21 rims are often tubeless-ready. If your rims are specified as tubeless-ready, you can convert them using tubeless rim tape, valves, sealant, and tubeless-compatible tires.

Check derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure cables are clean and properly tensioned. Re-index gears according to manufacturer's instructions. Lubricate the chain.

For mechanical disc brakes, check cable tension and pad wear. Ensure pads are properly aligned with the rotor. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol if contaminated. For hydraulic brakes (if applicable via e-group), a bleed may be necessary.

Identify the source: check crankset bolts, pedal threads, seatpost clamp, stem bolts, and wheel skewers/thru-axles. Apply grease to relevant contact points or tighten components securely.

Check for punctures in the inner tube or tyre. Inspect the rim tape for damage or gaps. Ensure the valve stem is seated correctly and the valve core is tight.

Ensure the thru-axle is properly installed and tightened. If the noise persists and seems internal, the headset may require adjustment or servicing.
