This is the first thing that is likely to break when you go out on your bike. The inner tube is found in the tyre and keeps it all inflated. Having a spare means you can switch it out with ease, alternatively you can repair it but they are sometimes not quite reliable! Inner tubes are cheap and a great way of keeping your mountain biking experience rolling!

Aside from your bike and a kit, you have to prepare yourself, mountain biking can quickly go from a walk in the park to a pinball rock garden. You should always check where you are riding and if you haven't ridden a decent before always make sure you can see what's round a corner.. If you cant your going too fast!

My Mountain Biking Must - Haves - The Equipment you need to get

Helmet - Always wear a helmet, it’s worth the investment as what's upstairs is precious indeed.

Chamois - As much as I’m against lycra, a Chamois saves your backside when you have been in the saddle all day. A cheap way of enjoying your day even more.

Gloves and Shoes - You are connected to your bike in four places. Having the best grip helps reduce the chance of crashing which can be painful indeed! Get some gloves, it’s important

Waterproofs - When you wake up and it’s raining outside a good jacket is more than a reason to go and experience riding in the mud.

Nutrition and Hydration - Often neglected by the worlds best, making sure you eat well before going for a ride makes getting to the top that extra bit easier.
