i always wear shin and gloves, but after hearing some of the stories on this Forum i now wear a helmet. tempted to get knee pads but i reckon they'll get in the way. anyone ride with knee pads?? what r they like? Bushby

how ever wierd it sounds, i couldn't use them, they're too sharp.. i always use discs. worth having though.. enjoy christmas fella bushby207

no way... well, i went out the other day to get one, spent £25 and i have to say it doesn't look great or feel great. but as they say the proof is in the pudding.. i hope i never have to rely on it

I don't know any of you guys but wondered if you would mind me joining a ride some time.. that's planning far ahead so i'd get the day off too. anybody mind? and how do you know where to meet? lee

pretty sweet. and they're right, it's a bit samey.. still would kill for a new bike. what did it cost you and where did you buy it from?

i used to live in trowbridge.. rode with some guys over there.. i now live in cardiff but if you gonna have a days ride i'd love to have an excuse to come over. maybe i'll know some of you guys from years ogo. Lee Bateman bushby207

i knw a mini seems pointless but... i ride 26" and use the mini as a leg rest.. it really helps

haha, about a foot... i only get out on a saturdays as i have a fulltime job and a degree to study for. plus i have no one to ride with so it's all a little slow. i ride 26" any tips?

ok.. i just went out and spent £25 on a specialized "air force" helmet. i hope it's worth it.

tru tru.. so what should i get and how much should i expect to spend? sweet, thanx

i picked up the ddg frame for £40 as a first frame, it's done quite well but i hear they snap easy as.. i'd love an echo hifi but the wife wouldn't appreciate the spendage. any tips on good cheep bikes.. please don't say the 2-6 from saracen

is it just because of the weather that it swells or are there other reasons for having to bleed them?

sorry, was my question a little long for you.. i love this forum........ i think i'm addicted.. i might sell my bike and spend the money on internet just to spend time on the forum.. can you make me a full member now please.......

i had a look at the web site, looks good, but a lack of stats.. if you contact sales@zhibike.com and ask for the uk distributer then they'll give you all the info you need.. ------ uk is Contact : Fred Savage. E-mail : f.g.savage@btinternet.com ------ i reckon they're ok but don't risk it. P.S. i'm liking their 26's let us know if they're any good.

i have to say, i don't own one. i have never found one that fits. they all seem to get in the way and make me feel uncomfortable. saying that i've never dropped more than 6ft and ican't gap at all. i guess if i could find a good quality, well fitted and comfortable helmet then i'd get better quicker. does it give you a confidence boost? and can you recomend a good make or web site?

i've never used them, i'd like to though.... i just keep buckling my rear rim. and i guess that's a nightmare for mags.. plus the thought of having to drain them sounds a little like hard work.

i used to ride with friends, and took it back up in jan 06 after about 5 years... i'm now 24 and trying to ride downhill and trials in cardiff but have no friends this end of the country so rely on teaching myself and many lonely rides - i'm an introvert ,,it's ok- you'll be fine!!!

"i want to be a hippy and i want to get stoned" maybe... but that just makes me old... has to be children, robert miles...

I started riding in jan 06 and only ever ride down the bay in cardiff. do you ride in cardiff or know of any good spots? bushby207

good call..... but we all know it's not what's on the outside!!!!!!!!! unless your name is ashton and you want to slate riders for wearing comfortable clothes...
