Cables & make sure the front & rear mech is clean, oiled & set up correctly.
As for tyres - how big of a gap do you have between the chainstays?Stumpjumper FSR 09/10 Pro Carbon, Genesis Vapour CX20 ('17)Carbon, Rose Xeon CW3000 '14, Raleigh R50

Yep.
Great story that got him involved:
Aparently all people looking for work in Cornwall are lazy, backward, interbread, dress funny and are generally stupid. Or that's what a national newspaper article said.
Did a great bit of plugging the company too.
I never thought anyone listened to Radio Cornwall. Have had quite a few people comment about it to me though.Stumpjumper FSR 09/10 Pro Carbon, Genesis Vapour CX20 ('17)Carbon, Rose Xeon CW3000 '14, Raleigh R50

decklan1994 Why do you want wider tyres? they will be more draggy & heavier, 2.1's will do the job much better, unless you plan to do DH, which is not advisable on an Apollo
New inner cables should sort the gears out, spray WD40 (using the straw) through the outer cables to flush any crap out & it helps lube them too.
