another noob! advice / tips please.

hello peeps I'm new so thought it best to say hi.
I have recently really got into MTB and love it, started with the odd 8 mile ride to work on my old hack which i later swapped for my current GT I-drive comp.
upgraded from v brakes to avid Elixir RSL's 203mm front 185 rear and some new grips but other than that she's stock.
getting some 140mm bombers, 20mm axle front wheel and a GT I-drive 5 frame from a mate to tinker with soon so dunno whether to make that my off road bike and buy a decent HT for my ride to work / gravel and trail stuff.
not to Q'd up on all the techno babble but im getting there slowly.
So any pointers as in bikes etc would be a great help. I live 5 mins away from rutland cycles which is a bonus.

Best suggestion, just get out and ride. You'll pick up what you can and cant handle and also bits of the bike you want to improve. Once you're a bit more experienced, put your questions up on here and you'll get your answers
