Another newbie looking for some advice:-)

I have the Boardman team comp and found the best thing for me was getting clipless pedals (SPD-540's if memory serves) makes a BIG difference to my hill climbing ability on this bike, but I agree a triple would be easier!

I REALLY like the bike though, I've cycled aroung 5000 miles on it so far this year and it's been great for every one of them

Thanks very much all good advice. Back on the old puncture repair front what are the best things to use for puncture repairs? I remeber back in the day i used to have puncture repair kits with waht i remember looking like plasters?? I assume things have moved on a little from this?

Nope it's the same now.
You can pick up a nice little repair kit from Halfords or your LBS

Still get that little bit of crayon, chalk & the little tube of glue that either explodes all over the place when you price the lid or drys rock hard if not used for ages etc etc...

God i'll need to get a book! Remeber most of it apart from the chalk bit

Think a couple of spare inner tubes will be the shout!
