    I just completed the white trail in Ballyhoura on Saturday last with my girlfriend. It was awesome. Approximately 35KM of trails, took us about 5 hours to complete.

    I eased into it at the start in order to become comfy with the track/bikes. At times my girlfriend was shouting at me to move and I was going to slow :P

    It was a lot of fun and we will be heading down again in a couple of weeks (From Dublin).

    We have been to Tree Rock a couple of times and although it was good fun, it was just too fast. It's over before you know it. We are going to try Ballinastoe next but before I head out, I want to change out a few parts on my bike.

    I have a Cube Acid 2011, it's all stock parts apart from the breaks (Shimano SLX, not sure of exact model) and the tyres which are Continental Race Kings 2.2. I would like to improve some of the parts on my bike, but I am completely clueless as to what I should look out for.

    I would like a new set of tyres, disk rotors (current rotors are 3.5 years old), bottom bracket and pedals.

    I am completely clueless as to what bottom bracket and disk rotor I should be looking out for. I am thinking of getting these pedals and these tyres.

    Are these products any good? Cheers :)

    Would you ming sharing the details for those trails in Ballyhoura?

    I was in Ballynastow recently and quite liked it, I don't know yet Tree Rock byt Ballynastou took me with some other people that was just starting to MTB a couple of hours. Again no speeding up, just at a slow page and enjoying the ride.
