Hi

I'm soon to be very new to the mountain biking world (awaiting choice of wheels)..Having chosen to 'cycle to work' and my firm has a only halfords dealing,my question is will halfords order in a bike model that they themselves do not stock?

The amount i have to spend is dictating the choice..Their Voodoo bantu or the 'order in choice' Ghost se 1200.

Ps spent years on a snowboard and now it's time to ride dry slopes...any much needed tips welcome ie bike maintainance,gear,routes and so on!!

Many thanks JD :)
Still can't wheelie :(

  • Hi
    Any tree line routes with some relative steep slopes would be nice,granted a slow progression first.

    I belive gisburn forest is about 20 mins from m
    e,though theres many bridle routes on from my doorstep.

    Complete novice but happy to travel further for thrills and most def spills :oops:

    Halfords have their phone service when I looked at it and they could get pretty much anything except Canyon, focus and Ribble so they are worth considering. Just factor it taking it somewhere to help with setting the bike up for you
