You are indeed

If you can afford it, then buy the one you really want and rationalise it later. Otherwise you'll look at your bike every morning and think "I wish I'd bought..." A spare set of wheels with different tyres could be purchased when necessary. Do it do do it... You know you want to :whistle:

Awesome, I've bought a small ladies pink vest and a basket for the front which will be a strong look for me out on the trails. Also enough left hand cranks to keep the next 3 generations of my family pedalling in circles :)

I so wish I'd been aware of these sort of trial days before I bought mine. I'm not unhappy with it but the chance to try so many different bikes back-to-back while the memory of the previous one is still fresh would have probably persuaded me to spend a bit more knowing I'd got exactly the right...

i must be as nuts as you cos that crossed my mind too :LOL:

It's 3 weeks old! :ROFLMAO: But I like the idea lol Well after googling around I got an idea from seeing some guy who restores Matchbox cars mixing colours to get a match on an old toy, so that's what I've done, ordered a selection of 5 little pots of model paint in asst yellows and green and...

Did you actually take the whole bike in or just a photo?

Ah I thought it probably was, but there seems to be hardly any lip on the edge of it, do they clearcoat over it or would it peel off with a heat gun?

It's colour matching that's the issue there though (not that I have an extensive selection of nail varnishes :whistle:). The grey swing arm is an almost perfect match for my van and I have a little touch-up pot for that which will do nicely.

When my bike was delivered it had a bit of a chip out of it as below. I didn't realise what it was for a few days, at a glance I thought it was part of the design :rolleyes: and decided it wasn't a big enough deal to demand a replacement, and beside I've caused 2 or 3 stone chips on the swing...

Not shoes, but I wear Sealskinz socks, worth every penny

I just tried buying a jersey using that code and it knocked a fiver off and gave free delivery, but the checkout procedure crapped out 3 times so I gave up

Coincidentally that’s exactly what I’m wearing on mine, very new to MTB and have yet to get any specific bike shoes so am wearing my favourite hiking shoes

Are all the Bosch motors noisy though? I’ve just watched Rob’s test of the Cube Stereo Hybrid and it sounded like a diving Stuka!

Found it, thanks

Crikey you have stronger lungs than me! The pump has arrived but I'm not at home til Tues so I'll follow the setup guide then and see if I can get it right (y)

Jeez... What is an "amuture" anyway? :LOL:

Thanks, I'll be in touch soon

Do you know the name of the app? I’ve had a look through and I’ve found one called trailforks, is that it?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will book in there. I’ve already watched some of the YouTube suggestions (I watch much more YouTube than tv these days which is how I came across emtb forums) and I’ll watch the other suggested ones next.
