Newbie looking for advice

Hi guys. So I pulled the trigger. I've got a scott bike in a small frame. I tried sitting on the medium frame and it was too big. The small frame is just right. Being a second hand bike I also got them to change the rear tyre, which they so kindly did not charge me for. I've also purchased a helmet, pump and bottle cage. Look forward to riding this evening.

 

New bike day congrats!

Scott is a great brand. 

 

You're going to have a great time. Congrats

I found this thread super useful. I have been riding a 54cm Road bike and now want to try an MTB. I must say, after 3 weeks of reading up and watching YouTube videos I was left more confused by all the lingo. This thread has helped me though. ????

From one DR to another Dr, the hub is a wealth of knowledge where 20% of all the members answer 80% of all the questions.

 

Ask anything and you will get an honest answer.

Looks like 80% is used a lot around you on the forum?

Hi guys. This is what I've bought. Went out this morning for a short ride. It was fantastic. Best decision I've ever made. 

I've noticed a few things. The front derailleur needs a slight adjustment. I got a bit of chain rub in 8th gear. I've contacted the shop, they said to bring it back for adjustment. I'd rather they check it first before I interfere and ruin it more.
