Hey everyone basically, I was thinking about gettting a mountain bike with my GF and go riding around mountains, but I know little about mountain biking! as I ve been riding trials bike, I d want a nice good mountain bike. and for my GF she can just hav a basic but decent bike. Probably only going to climb some mountains, but definitely would want the option of going hardcore - downhill so can any mountain biker give me some advice as to what I would want, and for my GF. i.e. full suspension or hardtail? and brands, componets ect... Many thanks

I think we will just be climbing mountains with the bike, but definitely have the option to go hardcore off road so probably worth finding a second hand mountain bike, which has been upgraded?? and then up grade my own? but getting a good saddle for my GF was a brilliant shut thanks. Any advice on good brands or must have components?

Hey everyone as you can see this post isnt about trials, but I wasnt sure where to post it but basically, I was thinking about gettting a mountain bike with my GF and go riding around mountains, but I know little about mountain biking! as I ve been riding trials bike, I d want a nice good mountain bike. and for my GF she can just hav a basic but decent bike. so can any mountain biker give me some advice as to what I would want, and for my GF. i.e. full suspension or hardtail? and brands, componets ect...

wellgo bear cages but yer i m gonna get those new lovely thin thin echo cage pedals soon

I m using a Viz stem atm, its 10degrees higher but i was wondering if it would help my riding if I put some spacers in?

The wheel base is 1000mm (give or take) with my echo team fork. Those forks are heavy, with a few changes i can easily make it 9kg and less .

Naaa its not too bad, I didnt aim to put together a light bike, so with some upgrades, it can easily be lighter < not that it matters

I weight 9.98kg

Ha ha... white tires debate starts again p.s. the red chain will change as soon as it wears out (black or white or gold chain? )

Thanks lol...It weights about 11kg

They re Echo Team Forks (07 i think) I ll get some new lighter forks, when I ve sorted out other bits ...but i like the red (part from the chain)

Heres my Echo lite 09 - I m using a different stem than the one in the pic What do you think ?

Hey people I recently got a bumper bag from Steve heatsink. now I ve got 3 pairs of compounds 2 pair can be cut into the backing shape - but what do i use to cut it with? the other pair is 8mm thick - so do i just glue this straight on a backing? (probably best to glue it on to a backing that has material on it, rite?) thanks alot

Is that thick enough though? because i bought some of that and thought its more for bearings?!

Hey I ve been trying to find a Lub suitable to use on the steerer and the BB, Basically general lub! But theres soo many chooses and I just want a good cheap Lub for my bike Heres the link to CRC lubs here Can some one tell me which one to get that is good and cheap Thanks

Paint remover would do, should be able to get it in most places, I did it recently "Made it all nice and new looking " make sure you leave the paint remover on for enough time though, otherwise you will just have to do it again!! You will need something to clean it with, I used white spirit

Hey Everyone I came across a leaflet about Tagging Your bike with an electronic tag. Something about you can register it with the police, using the unique serial number, and that they could track your property?! It only costs 14 pounds, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Since all our bikes worth soo much Website (They do have similar versions of this kind of product suiting for different needs)

Yay...more Riders who likes this bike Its a short frame, and I ve still have only rode it about 3 - 4 times, so not use to the bike yet!!! "rubbish" Thanks Dude, I got the tyres from Tarty

I m Glad there are Positive replys, Thanks for all your opinions so far, and I still love my bike Do you mean I m not spose to Route it to the other side and back? Nope no problems at all, They sent it to me with thing stuck on saying Happy Birthday. Customs shouldnt charge you VAT if its a gift from someone "I had my Bike sent from overseas last year, and they sent me a letter saying to pick up your parcel and there was charge of 90 pounds that I had to pay at a main royal mail depot" I was soo annoyed

Look I love them
