Hi

Post by Hmark »

Hi.
I passed my direct access in late October and have recently brought a 97 firestorm. So I'm new to road bikes but have been about off road bike since I was small. Always wanted my road licence and finally went for it this year.
Have been looking through the forum and have found lots of useful information. 👍
Thanks Mark.

Thanks (yes another yellow one 🤣)
I have been looking at the cct, not sure I'm sold on the manual ones just yet, may go with a new set and the stopper mod but have some more reading to do first.
I live in southminster essex.
Thanks Mark

Holbrook mode h. Probably older than me and the bike put together. Doesn't get used much but very handy when it does. Unfortunately I can only work the basics on it. More leavers than I know what to do with.

Welcome to the club,

Correct colour and also a good workshop.

Stopper mod is the one I recommend as it combines the function of the auto with a fail safe back up.... And it cost nothing.
