@ FEYD

Yeah I kind of forgot that part(just like when I am riding)....elbows and knees first. I guess it just feels like I am cheating b/c I am lazy and just tend to let the suspension work more than I should.

I guess I have not really felt a lot of the drawbacks....my rear shock has a pro pedal setting that works pretty good if I feel the rear compressing to much during pedaling. I know alot of people that ride hard tails and really like them and I don't dislike them....I just like the plush ride of the full suspension.

Which park in New England? Me and a few friends are trying to make it to a park called Highland Park in N.H. this summer. We are super stoked! Should I get a set of flat pedals for riding there? I normally clip in.

Went for a rip today. I forgot about the stand over right away. I actually can straddle the toptube but it is definitely hugging tight. Man this is a fast ride from what I've ridden before. Surprising how comfortable I felt the entire ride. One thing I need to do in the next few evenings is adjust my front derailer, it won't drop to my smallest gear. Gotta play with my shock pressure to as it is a little loose. But so far it feels like a nice bike. Can't wait to start biking to work next week.

yeah I was tempted to go for a standard 26inch version as it felt more nimble but reminded myself that I live in the prairies so 98% of my ridding will be on the flat.

19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
