Advantages: Great classes and plenty of equipment
Disadvantages: Swimming pool is a bit small

...I have been a member at this gym for nearly 2 years and I would have to say that the worst thing about it is motivating yourself to get there! Personally, I prefer participating in classes rather than using the gym equipment, although I do take advantage of both. There are a wide range of classes on offer both during the day and in the evening.

Advantages: Last for ages and easy to fit
Disadvantages: None

Even in pouring rain the 160mm plus these Avid pads stop the bike with great modulation. Now I have one installed for the front for my XC bike which stops like a dream. Occasionally dirt and oil may require you to clean them by either soaking the pads in alcohol & sanding a thin layer. In either case, the pads last a long time and the break-in period is fast! (Just pour water on the rotor, go down the hill and brake hard couple times) These brake pads can vary from dealer to dealer but mainly the retail for around £15, there are various online stores that they can pe purchased from including "Evanscycles.com" and "chainreactioncycles.com"...
