  1. "If you've got the money for carbon, go for it…."
    except if you're a beginner and might experience some learning crashes, because if you deeply scratch or crack your carbon frame, you'll just have to chuck it in the bin.

  2. why does no one talk about loving bombing down trails so getting a bike that pedals to the top as easy as possible?
    i want pedalling efficiency so i'm more encouraged to ride up so i can ride down.

  3. I bought eST100, but I am not sure it fit me or not because there not space between me and the handle bar when I stand up without any title. What do you think?

  4. Decathlon do good bikes for the money my Rockrider hardtail has been perfectly fine for light trail use and has given me zero problems. I still use it but own a nicer bike now.

  5. What would be the best type and specific bike for some trails in the woods with big jumps so should need some good suspension but is also under £400 but can be 2nd hand so if it is usually around £700 but 2nd is usually around £400 that’s fine! Any suggestions are very appreciated!

  6. Best advice I could give is DONT BUY NEW if you buy 2-3 years old a good deal could save you hundreds!! A two year old bike that hasn’t been ragged will perform just as well as new
