  1. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
  2. Hi Guys. I taken the plunge about a week ago and bought a MTB. Silverback Sola 4. I have now entered into the Curo Hazeldean Race 10km end of August. This is all very new to me and i am not sure what the practical implications are in two areas: Equipment I Have. Cycling shorts Helmet 2 water bottles spare tube co2 inflater patch kit small cycling tool Tyre leevers What will i need additionally and what do i take out? Logistics / documentation Upon entry i selected the SAseeding option for R50. Was this necessary and what does this mean? Where do i get a race number? On the day? Do I show my Advenduarnce invoice on race day or only an ID? What documentation do i need to take along etc? Sorry for all the questions. As you can see... this is very new to me. Thank you.
  3. Hi guys. I am posed with a bit of a problem. I am looking at buying a entry level MTB. The plan is to ride once during the week and then over the weekends. Then doing at least one fun ride (about 10km) every 2 months. I am about 1.7 tall. (Read short). I have been looking at the Axis A60 (26'') hydraulic disc brakes or the Trek Marlin (29'') with mechanical disc brakes. The issue now is... do i go for a 26'' with better specs or for a 29'' and maybe look to upgrade components later. Alternatively the secondhand market is a entirely different prospect, but it does come down to the same question 29'' / 650b small frame (not too common for a good price) or a 26'' with reasonable specs (because everyone seems to be selling them to upgrade to 29'')? Please help?
