hi to all , bought a firestorm about a month so i thought i should join up with the good people on here.
i'm 37 and this is bike number 10 for me.
last bike was a blade but i fancied a change so i said i'd try a firestorm.
i have been biking since i was 16 and in that time i've had 4 spills, the last one, about 4 years ago being the worst. i broke 6 bones and have some screws in my leg.
came across this site as i was looking for information on the first thing that needs to be done with the bike..........yes u guessed it, cam chain tensioners. so was glad to see so much info on this matter on here.
so thats a bit about me and i look forward to learning more as i go along and i hope one day i will be helpful to someone on here aswell.
i'll let ye know how i get on with the cct's and i'll try and post some pics of my bike soon.
