Chain Reaction Cycles always have good deals on and pretty much always a sale
Plus you can't argue with free postage...
Warning though, its very easy to spend a lot of money 

Asides from that try Wiggle for general kit but I find them a little over priced for parts

failing that hit up your local bike shop and see what they recommend!

No point upgrading may as well by another bike.

You've also got Bike Park Wales opening up in Geffin woods next month!

I need some hills by me, bored of road cycling

Probably do that  i bought my bike from them and took it there for the safety check. Im novice to it all so speaking to someone is probably the safest bet!

Ill be mainly riding on the trail which is either mainly tarmac or loose gravel. I doubt ill be venturing too far off that or up and down the hills!

  whats the best sites to look for bits and bobs? 

if you don't mind buying second hand try southerndown hill forum (believe its called ride.io now)

used to be a member back in the day, good group of guys and good classifieds. never had any problems with anyone on there.

it is more of a downhill forum, but I used to ride 4x and thought it was one of the best forums. was also loads of other non dh lads on there that only rode 4x/dj/xc and used that forum.

Giants 2014 range... only 2 26-ers, all the rest 27.5 and they have dropped the 29er 

Anyone keeping tabs on the MB world cup? I only watch the highlights on a Monday morning on Vital MTB but it's all a bit mental!

Good work Chuff on getting out an riding, it doesn't matter if your on a 100 quid sh!tter on a 10k road bike. Riding is riding.

Next time you complain about 'berm bumps' (the bumpy bit that forms before a burm that tends to be the result of fat middle aged men having last minute doubts and skidding into them  ) or that a section is a little to rocky... think of these two:

This mtb lark is addictive and expensive. Decided that my last bike was too small so man logic made me get one of these-



bloody good fun though and a genuine do-it-all bike
