Just got a new-to-me bike?

Question

I just got a nice cannondale chase and i have ridden it probably 20 miles through the woods and off jump and such in the 2 days i have had it so far. But usually within 30 mins my butt is killin' me. Is that just because im not used to the seat yet, or is the seat not the right height (it is a dirt jumper)?

Answer 1

Its a DJ bike,

It was never meant to be ridden any distance or made to be comfortable. Its a purpose built jump bike.

Ride it, jump it, Plan on standing up alot :)

Answer 2

I ride road bikes and it usually take 2-3 weeks of riding to get used to it. Also make sure the bike is set up properly...that makes a giant difference.
