Merida 96XT bought a few weeks ago, bars are high for my old aching shoulders! Bliss to ride after my last couple of hardtails:biggrin:

This is my new (used) MTB, I am still very, very bad at it but I keep hitting the trails.. Maybe one day I won't be too scared of falling down.

I was suppose to be faster and easier to get over the rocks and roots... I don't see it.. But is a nice bike. No complains there


The more cautious you are the more you crash and burn.
If you go really fast your not able to crash at the hazzard as you've passed it:laugh:
You do still crash but not where you thought so much better for your confidence;)

Keep hearing this.. People I ride with said they are going to cut my breaks off..
So far my confidence going downhill in none existent.
Good thing I am fairly strong going up the hills so I gain time up... and they cut it out and pass me going down..
Is no surprise to me I am the same on the road.

As long as you enjoy it ..takes a lot of practice to go quicker without a visit to A&E

Ride at your pace and take the downhills and rocks the same. No point lying on your back in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal and no one around to hear you scream. Been there done that. Anyone tries to force you tell em to Feck off. (feck is not a swear word in the irish language it means please go away and leave me alone)

Stepping over to the dark side and dabbling with MTB (never have before). Picked this up (2nd hand but only ridden twice) and loved my first spin yesterday. Basically have no gear at all so if anyone has anything going cheaply (esp shoes sz 10) I'd be most interested. Would also appreciate any advice on what I might find handy kit wise. Absolute max budget of £75-100 to get me started. Happy to manage for the time-being though would like shoes as a priority. Any words of wisdom gratefully received.
