Hey,
I've got a Giant Roam 2 hybrid and I love it. It's ideal for riding around town and going on the more leisurely ride with friends. I'm looking to have a go at mountain biking and I don't want to have to shell out a load of money on another bike. I'm going to go to Carron Valley (http://www.forestry.gov.uk/carronvalley) with friends who are into MTB'ing in a couple of weeks to give it a go. Is there anything I can/should do to make my bike more suitable? The only cheap idea I had was nobbly tires. My front fork only has a 62mm travel. And I'm about 160lbs if that makes any difference.
Any help/advice would be awesome!
