i Just recently bought my bike but i dont hit up trails too often, just mainly use it to get to work everyday

my buddy at work has a $7000.00 Colnago road bike... crazy paintjob and light as hell, me myself cant get into road biking.. thats me though...

i had an older style specialized hardrock. Sold though
and i bought the rockhopper!

was going to get a KHS mtn bike, but i felt too presssured into buying it from the guys, saying this bike is for you etc... the more i come to think of it, i never really needed a Full suspension. i really dont like the feel.... but thats me.. Hardtail rules!! IMO

as for riding.. lets do it.. im in..

Full sucks!! All you need is front.

I've found since I've been riding full suspension I can climb a little better, because I get a little more traction on the back wheel because of the suspension pushing down...

but ya, as for a group ride, I'm in...

Full is great for downhill. I rode both full and front at Blue and there is no comparison!

I found that I seemed to be peddling harder with full than front. Don't get me wrong, the comfort is way better than just front, but for me, front FTW.

^ I do downhill so I have full 6 inch travel front and back. Its great. I prefer 3 stage better than blue because its free but I like blue in case you get hurt.... quick response.

there are advantages to full and hardtail and going uphill has ther advantage of full b/c of traction, but cross country with a full is just a waste of energy IMO!

what i really like is Trials mtn biking!! damn thats awesome
type in Danny Macaskill on youtube.. that guy is amazing!

I used to strictly ride hardtail too...

then I tried out the SC heckler on DH (Kelso), what HUGE difference!

FS isn't really needed unless your doing DH, but the ride sure is pimping. The hardtail will beat you up on certain courses.

I'll take the pimping ride for the energy loss (that a sign of age?)
