Hey everyone, new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I have been riding most of my life, was really big into BMX when I was younger and finally got turned onto mountain biking about 5 years ago. I am a gearhead, I am a really big car guy (but that hobby can get VERY expensive), so my love for being outside has turned me to tinkering with my bike. I am from the Raleigh, NC area and was wondering if anyone knows of any good/reliable bike shops, I have been to Performance Bicycle Shop in Cary and All Star Bicycles in Cary (which I think is now closed), but I just wanted to get some opinions. I do have riding experience but I will be the first to admit that I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to advanced suspension systems and bike lingo
haha. Also, any suggestions on trails around the area? I hit up Umstead Park once in awhile but it gets old. Well, just wanted to say whats up to the RideMonkey world! Well, here is a pic of my current rig:
