Fibrax Grimeca System 12

Advantages: Price, Ride, Street Cred !!
Disadvantages: Hard seat for long rides !

...Having used an MBK Raider hartdail for the last 10 years, and seeing all this new suspension technology coming in, I was tempted to purchase a new Mountain Bike. After looking at all the options :- hardtail, front suspension only, front and rear suspension, I decided to go for the Claud Butler Karve Full Suspension Bike. The price was £400, and for this you get an all alloy frame and rear swingarm, front Suntour MG81 with preload adjusters and disc mounts, rear RS-I alloy shock, Alivio 24 speed with Acera STI shifters, front Grimeca cable disk brake, rear Vuelta alloy 'v' brake, Tioga aheadset, Vuelta tyres and Airline 1 rims, Zoom stem, QR front and rear, QR seatpost plus Tioga Multi Control 2 seat with Kevlar sided panels (which can be a bit painful on long rides! ) (phew !!).

...I have recently been persueded by my exercise-fanatic husband to try rebounding. I had never heard of it before and have done a little research: What Is Rebounding? To put it simply - its bouncing on a mini trampoline. Unlike regular trampolining, the aim isn't to bounce high or perform gymnastic tricks, but to perform a series of small, controlled movements. The benefits of Rebounding are: Its a zero-impact exercise, rebounding provides many benefits for you and your body: Improves circulation Increases the capacity of heart and lungs Lowers cholesterol levels Improves co-ordination and balance Reduces stress and tension Improves muscle tone (particularly legs, thighs, hips, abdomen and arms) Increases energy and vitality Boosts the lymphatic and immune system Fits in with your lifestyle AND IS GREAT FUN! Plus, unlike... Read review
