Hi

I am planning to get back into mtbing after having my hip replaced. I smashed my pelvis and damaged my femoral head 6 years ago by stacking it big on a easy bit of trail.

I'm only 31 and I'm not wanting to do big rides or hard dh. I'm just after people's opinion and suggestions.

I'm going full sus instead of rigid to take the impact out. Other than that any pointers:-)

No real pointers but, congrats for getting back on the horse so to speak.

Keep us up to date on how it goes.
