Full Suspension Mountain Bikes

Like others have said -- riding a FS mtn bike is completely different...even the basic FS has lockout ability on the front and rear shocks. I'd suggest this bike just didn't have enough air in the shocks for your weight. I think the guys giving the demo rides set 'em up low on purpose as the softness gives that happy bouncy-house feeling. After riding a few times, you'll learn to ride on higher shock pressures.

Good advice, thanks ken-pal. Hope you are continuing to make progress in your recovery.

Would make a great commuter. It *could* easily be converted to 650b road wheels with the use of Paul cantis.

Cheers,

Thanks, I am down to only two PT sessions per week. I now have to measure progress by the week rather than daily but progress continues and I'm told the medical folks may turn me loose in a month or so. Merry Xmas indeed!
