DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Pssst! Fancy some rubbers?

I've got some tyres that are surplus to requirements and will go in the skip unless a good home can be found

1 pair Panaracer Trailraker 1.95 - awesome mud tyre, not the quickest on anything else. Only used five times or so, almost as new (apart from a bit of mud!).

1 pair Panaracer Trailblaster 1.80 - a really good high-pressure skinny tyre for those long hot bone-hard fast summer rides. Fairly well-used but tread left and would definitely give a summer's worth of riding.

First offers (including a pint or two in the pub!) will secure...

Cheers
Dom
