Only one guy we ride with runs tubeless now, a couple of others did but switched back to tubes for the reasons swede said.

pedaling anywhere at all far with a bmx will be a daily headache though. i'd rather just own a really ratty bike and use proper locks to keep it secure

Probably wouldn't last very long riding on any sort of mtb trail - not the best spec but would be fine for casual use. With the rising prices and worse spec'd bikes you'd definitely get more bang for your buck second hand.

22" BMX, makes a decent difference in terms of comfort and how knackered you get.
Can't really speak to security but they're quite niche which might help.
anyone interested in a wahoo elemnt? i have had it for ~4 years now and it has never missed a beat or crashed! unfortunately due to its age i have noticed that the battery isn't great anymore. if it is cold out it lasts 4-5 hours. there are guides on youtube on how to replace the battery but i can't trust myself to do it so would rather someone else has a go….. is £40 cool? seems like £100 is going rate for a decent looking one on ebay
I’m looking to buy an mtb, I quite like the trek marlin.
Can anyone here give me an opinion on whether to look at anything else as a comparison/ better bike, please?
Probs gonna buy 2nd hand/ nearly new, spending £3-400ish but could go higher if it’s worth it

Be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this (and whether or not transgender men / women should be allowed to compete in other sports vs people of opposite birth sex).
I just can't see how the formative years of being a man with all of the physiological advantages can't still be a huge advantage post transition.

No more than any other bike IMO. Unless you have an S&M Supreme collab or other classic well specked BMX that will catch the eye. When I lived in London my main mode of transport was my BMX. Had an S&M dirt bike and a GT Pro Perfomer with skyways. Neither got stolen. Always used a Kryptonire lock on them.
anyone have any experience with BMX bikes and how likely they are to be stolen?
having a regular bike is just a daily headache because of this

Anyone here had any experience with Ampler bikes? Estonian company all in house built and manufactured. Their curt bike has just been revamped along with the rest of the range. Been tempted for some time for a town centre e bike. More for when I just want to nip out to get a coffee or to visit pals who live on outskirts of the city without becoming a sweaty mess. I’ve got a road bike and then a mountain bike anyway for more serious biking.

Are you looking to mountain bike with it? Or just use it as a casual steed? Can anyone here give me an opinion on whether to look at anything else as a comparison/ better bike, please?
