I won the DBC weekly comp! Bought 20 tickets for £9.80 and now have to choose a ~£500 prize from the available selection: Currently thinking a nice set of Hope E4s in black and bronze with floating rotors for the MTB... Any thoughts?

I use a BMX combo saddle (eclat and KHE) with a sleeve (the tipical BMX seat tube diameter is 25.4mm). I like slim and padded one. Slim can hurt your legs on some bikes.    

A hacksaw and a plug would be more suitable than that weeny if you actually were bothered about saving weight and not sitting!! 🤣

Last time I rode trials was around 15-20 years ago, then I rode bmx for around 10 years then stopped about 8 years partly due to starting a family and partly due having an injured knee. I had a real itch to ride again though so tried getting back into bmx twice mainly because that's what my friends rode but to try cut a long story short, I had too much fear. I've always still had that itch to get back into trials, especially after Danny's 2009 came out so got back into it last February and loving it. The great thing about trials is you can practice it anywhere. I ride with a great bunch in Aberdeen, we are all fairly similar age, 40'ish, we all push each other but ride within our own limits. That would be the best advice I could give, ride within your limit but push it when you can.

This is my first comment in this forum and I came here for my first question to be answer and I am glad I came across this question being answered.  I had order a Jitsie Varial 24 Hybrid and it took me a long week to think of the pros and cons before I clicked onto the Order button.  So while waiting for my new bike I am now exploring lots of YouTube and reviews and forum. i used to own a pretty bashed up pre-owned multiple-owners 20 inch mod but didn't had much skills to learn on it. Then I sold it away after couple of months. I am a MTB and I had recently slowed down my interest in MTB trails riding , decided to once again get myself motivated to learn trials. Thank you everyone sharing this piece of ageing-article.. hahaha.. because I am turning into mid-50s and need some assurance. I was also recently inspired by YouTube creator Cooks & Son, Super Rider , Ali Clarkson and the Japanese man. ( I probably watched all of their entire video in their channels LOL )
