Hi, I have a Voodoo bantu that cost me £500 about 5 years ago and quite fancy using it just for some leisure. It's been sat in my shed at my parents for so long and was barely used and like new when stored. It has air suspension front forks i believe and hydraulic brakes.

Was thinking I will just oil the chain and check the tyres for cracks in the rubber etc but will I need to do anything with the shocks except maybe pump them up. Do i need to drain and replace the hydraulic brakes. I'm a novice when it comes to bike things so it might be worth taking it to the local bike shop for a once over?

Thanks
