    You know, I used to get some breakfast burritos comped every once in a while, stopped about a year ago. Guess they got pissed at me, when one Friday I took a pic of a pathetic looking Indian Taco in my to go styrofoam container and sent it off to them with a little bitch note....

    Full suspension? Why don't you want a hardtail? When you have suspension in the back, you lose a lot of power.

    The 20% that I do down hill would kill me, and probably bust the frame...Most decent decent bikes have at least a 90 percent lock out for front and rear suspension, for cross country and up hill.........

    Well, I am by no means an expert, but I felt like I had a harder time accelerating and climbing over obstacles when I had a rear suspension.

    There is a reasonable chance that I have fallen prey to confirmation bias, but I guess I'll never know.

    Also, I am nowhere near a biking expert. I used to ride weekly, but now it's become a monthly or bi-monthly thing with the arrival of Baby HB.
