Noob New Bike Recomemndation

[Peteaud]

Thanks for all the advice guys, after looking at the 2 bikes I linked and doing some reading I came to the conclusion they were effectively rigid Mountain bikes (especially looking at the wheel/tyre sizes) so have decided to go for a hard tail MTB with lockable forks and put city jet tyres on until until I want to get it muddy

Going for this

from Evans, it's less than a kilo heavier than the Voodoo and I reckon a bit more versatile, also given where I live is very hilly knowing what the gearing is before I buy was handy.

Of course, taking into consideration the comments above, I am not getting teh green one as we have proved green bikes are slow

Nice one.

Ok now the bike is sorted next question.

It comes with 26x1.95 knobbly tyres could I fit 26x1.5 city jets to the wheels or should I stick with the 26x1.95 size

Thats what i have done on my mtb - works well and still allows the bike to go up & down pavements etc
