Re: Mountain Bike : Saracen Raw (Pro) - Help

At the minute, i'll be riding mainly forest routes, a place called Sherwood Pines in Clipstone (and around that area), also along Route 6 from my village, through to Clipstone, including Rainworth/Clipstone pit tip (desert). A few downhillers and maybe a jump or two, but nothing Extreme .. just yet

I'll be riding in all weather I guess.

Disk or V brakes.. erm, prolly V, as i've read that cabled V is as good as cable Disc, and the better fluid type gets a bit expensive. For a first time starter, standard V should be enough.

I'll be learning to maintain the bike myself, if I fall off and the bike gets damaged or something.. no AA or RAC to help me out.. heh.

I got around 600, maybe 700 at a push. I know I should get the best for money, but i'm still a novice and have lots to learn, so spending heaps of cash seems a waste.

Basically, the forest paths, bumps that go with them, tree stumps etc.., the odd "Woah, that hill was fun, lets go again .. 'crash'" experance.

Out for a fun ride, whilst trying to enhance my health.
