New to mountain biking

[thatsgonnahurt31]

Hello everyone!

I am Eric and just bought my first real mountain bike, 2014 Giant Talon 27.5 4.

Tired of being fat so thought this was a good way to have fun, lose weight, and hurt myself. Grew up racing BMX so am very comfortable on a bike.

Welcome, have fun and enjoy! Biking can definitely help you lose weight! It worked for me and many others around here.

Hurting yourself seems counter productive to "fun" and the ability to lose weight but hey, who am I to judge. lol

Welcome to the site and mountain biking.

It was a joke. My wife always teases me I am a klutz. Any new riders in the OC area wanting to ride together?

[Devin_P]

LOL. I know it was a joke, just some humor on my part. But… definitely wear a helmet if your wife is right. 😃

ALWAYS wear a helmet. Don’t need to lose anymore brain cells

New here as well and got the same bike. How are you liking yours? I’m doing work to improve braking performance…bleeding and maybe going to organic pads…
