So, you've bought your new bike! With your suspension forks and a gazillion gears you are ready to put on your shorts and tee-shirt to cycle the bridleways, disused train lines and forests of the United Kingdom, maybe stopping off for quick refresher at the local pub or cafe on route. Just imagine those hot sunny days and Idyllic long warm evenings cycling into the sunset with your bike and a few friends. Ah perfect!
Unfortunately your dream of the perfect cycle ride can be easily quashed by some very simple factors. The changeable British weather or simple case saddle soreness for example can ruin a potentially great ride out. Fortunately wearing the correct cycling clothing is the simplest way of preventing major discomfort.
No matter where you ride the British weather at sometime is going to catch you out, whether it's a typical summer shower or a chill settling in on a warm evening the correct cycling attire will always keep fairly comfortable. Good quality cycling clothes are produced using fibres that are designed to retain body heat while allowing perspiration to wick out and disperse quickly on the surface, keeping you dryer and therefore cooler. Whilst there is no way to avoid getting wet the odd summer shower wearing this style of clothing means you will dry many times quicker than the equivalent produced in say a cotton fibre.
When the sun starts to set and the chill sets in you will again find that the fibres used in quality cycling wear will retain your body heat, particularly when you are on the move. Because the clothes are light and compact it is fairly easy to pack and extra base layer, jersey or gilet (type of sleeveless jersey).
When it comes to leg wear the preferred summer attire for the cyclist is shorts. Cycling shorts come in two main categories, tight Spandex shorts and Baggy Shorts. While tight shorts are defiantly more comfortable to cycle in they don't look too good in the country pub, as a little too much embarrassing bulge can show. So, the Baggy type short is often first choice for the social cyclist.
The leg length is also down to preference; above the knee or below the knee, wear the cycling shorts you feel more comfortable in. Quality Cycling Shorts fibres have the same heat retaining and perspiration wicking properties mentioned earlier, but more importantly should also come with a chamois to protect your sit bones. Coolmax chamois are the preferred protection for all Terrain cycling shorts as they are designed to wick away the perspiration that causes chafing while protecting the sit bone. To gain the maximum comfort you should not wear underwear between the Coolmax chamois and your skin, as this will prevent the chamois from wicking away perspiration, thus causing you discomfort and chafing.

5 Reasons To Ride Full Suspension Mountain Bikes
Trail riding can provide you with an unforgettable adventure - that is, if you know how to manage your riding experience. If you get on the trail without a good mountain bike, you may be in for a rude shock. Here are 5 reasons why you may wish to consider buying a full suspension mountain bike.
Reason 1: More comfortable while cruising.
Reason 2: Higher level of maneuverability over obstacles.
Reason 3: Cushion landings.
Reason 4: Faster on the descent.
Reason 5: More effective braking.
Reason 1: More comfortable while cruising.
Unlike the road, the trail is made up of sand, dirt, tiny pebbles, and sometimes pieces of rocks. If you have a full suspension bike, you will experience less feedback from your bike frame. Most of the vibration caused by the pebbles and rocks will be absorbed by the shock absorbers. That means you will be able to ride more comfortable as you are cruising along. That helps to save energy and keeps you prepared for the obstacles ahead.
Reason 2: Higher level of maneuverability over obstacles.
Having suspension means your wheels can move up and down to a certain degree. That allows you to ride over smaller obstacles without experiencing great discomfort or difficulty. The wheels just go over the obstacles as though they are not there.
Reason 3: Cushion landings.
Of course, not all obstacles are small ones on the trails. Sometimes, you may be required to jump over the obstacles. With a full suspension bike, the landings will be cushioned as the impact is absorbed on the front suspension. This prevents the shock from sending waves of vibration up the handle bars, through your arms and into your body.
Reason 4: Faster on the descent.
Since a better suspension system ensures a smoother ride, it is inevitable that you go faster on the descent. You won't be struggling for control because the wheels are bobbing up and down on the gravel. You will feel more confident to allow the bike to pick up speed as you are going down.
Reason 5: More effective braking.
When you are on the descent, you may need to slow down periodically at times due to the changing conditions on the trail. As you are heading down, and you need to brake quickly, the front brakes will be more effectively. In other words, most of the weight will be placed on the front forks. This is where the suspension will come in useful. A good front suspension allows you to brake harder as it has the ability to absorb the pressure placed on it. This leads to more effective braking. If your mountain bike does not have front suspension, you may be flung over the handlebars if you brake too hard! That is because all that weight now lies on your elbow, and your elbow may just give in to all that sudden pressure.

The bike has a 1 inch steertube.
The fork on ebay is not a mountain fork,it's a 700 hybrid fork.
Not for 26" wheels.
The bomber can be used if you buy a new crown/steerer for it.The Bomber has a stock 1 1/8th steel steer tube.Pressed in so a new crown and steertube is needed.
I hope this can be of help
