[QUOTE="U31, post: 820599, member: 8996"] Remember, any form of suspension is gonna take the pump out of your pedal strokes, effecting your efficiency, thats why roadies and hybrids are rigid, but if over shorter distances, suspension can help fatigue because the bumps in roads are constantly pumping your arms chest and core when you hit 'em.. As Bri said, you need to decide what your gonna do with it, but commuting on something like i'm on up there is lunacy.. Commutes are for roadies, rigids or front suspension hardtails or custom bikes like the ones you posted. If your gonna commute on a full boinger, dont go bigger then 100mm travel or you'll pass out when you try to climb a hill.. If you fancy a blast at what im doing up there, the 7 inch suspension travel is still overkill, my rig was designed for hucking off 6 foot drops and surviving intact, for them 2 foot drop offs im doing there 100 mil travel would do the job if your skilled, 130 mm travel would be enough to compensate for any lack of skills :D So if you want something that can commute but at the weekend do trail centre red runs (and even some black runs when you get better) a full suss like a Giant Trance, EZposse's GT I Drive or Jiglo's Mongoose Teocali would be perfect ... Bri was reet up my chuff all the way down on a red descent the other week.. :D But that said, the same trail centre i could have ridden, but not as fast, on the Hardtail Inbred that Pepe owns [/QUOTE]
