Hi,
Thanks to those who replied to my question about what bike to buy. I bought the what mountain bike magazine and liked the review and price on the Scott Aspect 45. After a few phone calls I realised that Long Eaton Cycle Centre were stockists. Our local shop. I spoke to Rob there and bought a Scott Aspect 20. I thought Rob was very helpful and knowledgable. Before all this I went into Leisure Lakes at Breaston ( also local ) and found them too busy to care. If they had spared me a little time I would probably not have gone anywhere else. Fair play to Long Eaton Cycle Centre I say.

Hi,
What sort of changes have you made?
Regards Ray0 -
Fork - Reba Race
Crankset - XT
Tyres - Panny Fire XC Pro
Seat - Charge spoon
Pedals - Shim M520 SPD
Sold a load of ebay stuff for more than i expected hence the new bits. Otherwise it would still be stock, is a good bike. The fork is a bit clunky but will get better once you've been out a few times.
Having an issue with the brakes at the mo though, cant seem to get the pads to stop rubbing on my front brake. Have a feelin some Hayes Stroker Trail will be put on her soon!
The upgrade path is very addictive :oops:

Hope you enjoy the bike Ray. Finding a good LBS is excellent too, worth making friends there when it comes to upgrades or getting things fixed.bells0 wrote:Having an issue with the brakes at the mo though, cant seem to get the pads to stop rubbing on my front brake.

FWIW, I've never managed to really get my pads to stop rubbing on my Stroker Trails (only really noticeable in the workshop though) so I wouldn't buy them for that sole purpose. Very happy with them otherwise.0 -
