    might not be a bad idea, if it'll be on roads at all I'd be looking into other wheels/tires so you don't wear out your nice trail tires.

    yeah I've got two pairs of "compression underwear" with the pad in them.

    one set is from academy and the other is from Dick's. both store brands I think.

    If the bike you are getting has a quick release seat you can manage for a while. It sucks, but it’s not the worst thing.

    It does. Some of the droppers are quit cheap and have decent reviews. Like $65 with remote lever. Ill ride it a bit before i get anything tho. Just planning everything out.
