Hello All

[charlton]

Hi everyone! new forum member from socal/SGV. Mostly biking to improve fitness. Haven't yet really started mountain biking. But have mileage goals with partner. 500/1000/2000. We're currently at 200mi together. At 2000 we're getting new bikes! so starting the research early. But also saw post about upgrading parts on what we already have and might do that sooner than 2000.

Welcome to the forums.
Cheers.

Will you be Emtb’ing on trails, commuting on pavement, or both?

Tire type might matter.

mostly commuting on pavement, as we gain experience we may look for more adventure on trails, fire service roads, etc. We used to do a lot of off-roading/camping on BLM land, so definitely a soft spot for the rugged outdoors.

Your local bike shop (lBS) can probably help you out. Try to buy locally …you’ll need them for updates and upgrades. Plus any warranty issues that may arise.
