I am a 38 year old male from Liverpool who currently opted for a Specialized Hard Rock 2011.
This is the first forum i have ever been involved in, and as i started to cycle as a commute i have very little knowledge of makes modles accessories etc. I began riding to work mainly as a way of losing weight (which worked wonders) and have continued to do so since 2011.
I know some terminology but find thinga a little confusing and each time i ask "an expert" i am left feeling a little inept.
I find the technical side of cycling quite intimidating as everybody appears to know more about it all than i do.

I am hoping there are some very patient and understanding people on here who can offer some sound advice regarding upgrading the parts for my bike as all the original components are still in place apart from the rear Cassette and chain which were replaced during a service i had done.

Can anybody help me as i think i need new parts and dont know where to start or which makes to buy

Hi and :welcome:
There are some very knowledgeable people on here. (and very friendly too:thumbsup:)
I would suggest you state what parts you think you would like to upgrade, what make the present parts are and take it from there.

Loads of technical knowledge on here , but don't look in my direction, very friendly too. Ask away and if you don't know what the part is called take a photo and post it. A great thread to read and post in is "Show us your newbie progress" they are really friendly and very helpful.

Enjoy your riding.

Hi and welcome! A quick search is a good idea before posting, if it's happened to you it's probably happened to someone else - you tube is also a good resource.
