  1. For me the best gloves to ride my road bike in the cold winter are neoprene gloves. you can find cheap 2mm ones in Decathlon for about a tenner. Not really suited for trials or XC i would think...

  2. I also have one and it works ok. If something it needs cleaning very often as dirt and grit gets inside compromising its performance. You also might want to disassemble when you get it and get rid off the thick grease it comes with. A thinner one works much better in my opininon

  3. If you are totally new to MTB (I suppose you don't ride a road bike either) it might be the case that there is nothing wrong with your seat, but the fact you are not used to be on one for a period of time. it is more important the shape of the saddle than how soft it is. As with most things, there is no saddle that suits everyone. I would ride your bike as it is for a while before investing in a new saddle, you may find the pain goes after a few rides.

  4. I find it is common amongst stock riders that they perform a full crank turn while most mod riders tend to use half crank turn... to me it is easier to do a half crank turn pedal up as I can put more power to it, but I guess it is down to personal preference.
