Thanks for that, my nearest track is Glasgow, so I guess that’s where I’ll be riding mostly.

Whilst not exactly a beginner, I rode outdoor tracks in and around London in the 70’s, I’ve recently retired and decided to get back into it and am doing the accreditation course using the track’s own bikes. Eventually, I’ll have to get my own bike.

Glasgow

Think @M_V works there. Might be able to advise on what tyres are popular/recommended?

My recommendation would be Vittorias, either Zaffiro Slick if you’re on a budget (these are what are on all the hire bikes) or Diamanté Pista (actually, I think these have been superceded by a Graphene tyre now?) if you want something a bit nicer/that can take higher pressure etc.
