hey Guys,
haven't really ridden properly since i was 17 or so and i'm now 31.
few mates are getting in to a little bit of DH and pump tracks and trails again and im keen to have a stuff around.
I have a pretty much brand new specialised p.26 pro thats stock as a rock. I bought it new and had nobody to ride with so she sat in the shed till now.
Went and hit some of the mitcham trails and dinglydell pump track on the weekend and in the mud i couldn't put any power down or turn without sliding around.
looking at the frame i dont have much room at the back for an aggressive tyre at all.
what would be some suggestions for a more aggressive tyre set up and also pedals? should i be looking at a more appropriate bike than a DJ bike? if so whats some suggestions on something thats a bit more of an all rounder? seems bikes are changing a heap.
cheers for any responses.
