What is best first race to aim for?
Greetings,
New to the sport but rapidly becoming addicted to the point that, even though it's only very early days, I am keen to participate in an event in the foreseeable future.
My goal would only be to complete not compete, then working up distances over time.
I would welcome any advice or opinions on what events might be most suitable for a novice such as myself.
Thanks!
New wheel - recommendations please!
Having recently toasted my rear wheel, I'm looking to invest in a new set of rims so I'm looking for recommendations for 29" that I can run tubeless and will also put up with a slightly clumsy 95kg rider! Durability over light weight is probably my priority.
Also interested to know where you get your wheels built as I lack the skills to transfer my existing hubs etc over.
Thanks

Almost new. It has a drinking bottle and training wheels never used. It is a lot better quality than supermarket bikes. Still on sale in UK http://dawescycles.com/product/14-thunder-boys/

Wanted: WTB 26" wheelset
Looking for a pair of 6 bolt 26" wheels to stick on my hardtail that's been promoted from gathering dust in my garage to wet weather commuting duties. Not sure how much I want to spend so stuck a $100 stake in the ground. Let's go from there 
Cheers

My new ride. Intense Spider 29
Just finished building this up. Had a bit of a play in the back lane and the park at the end of the lane and first impressions are great, looking forward to hitting the dirt Sunday morning. I'll get some decent pics then too (with clean wheels!).
