Ok, first off Chris, good to know your not going to be letting the chance slip! 😆
Secondly, because your not taking your own bike, step it down a gear!
This is vital, especially if you’ve never ridden a downhill bike before, it WILL give you so much more confidence, but be aware you will be going at faster speeds because of it so make sure to wear full body armour, full face helmet, neck brace if you can, and leg and elbow pads.
Plus one for setting up the brakes how you feel comfortable with, it’s your bike for the day remember! 🙂
Make sure to ask someone at the hire shop to set up the suspension for your weight and riding style, above
all else, enjoy yourself! Stay positive but play safe! 🙂
