What's your current whip?

might be worth investing in skills course with Tony at UKbikeskills instead to bring you up to standard?

What's you're current bike and its spec? Perhaps we could suggest upgrades to that or find a 2nd hand machine to suit you budget.
Don't think you have to worry about joining in a ride and holding everyone back! We're a friendly lot and will never leave anyone behind.

A little off topic but if your looking for knee and shin pads have a look at these (nukeproof critical knee and shin). I picked up a set a month or so ago and they are brilliant they have the stick on and forget factor which is awesome not a bad price as well.

I'll second joe's recommendation

Not about just now.



what this crap don't worry about this use to think same Rides here at friendly and welcoming

Hi guys iv got an silverfox toxic bike it was given to me by a friend to get me going ,but after today i no i need an upgrade

One of these ?



yes you need an upgrade nothing too crazy though
what are your dimensions ?

Yeah you need an upgrade. I would look for something 2nd hand or at a push a new sale model such as the Specialised Hardrock (disc or pro if you can find one in budget). XC only?

For £300, we'll find you a decent ride!

Muzza (see Minion) has this
