Thanks, good to hear
Full suspension would be nice on descents.
Another thing I've noticed that's different now is the number of riders who use bar ends. In the '90s lots of riders used them, myself included. Now when I watch footage of mtb races I notice that the majority of pros ride without them. I've also seen plenty of non-race mtb ride videos where riders don't use bar ends. I love my bar ends and have them on both my hybrids. If I get a mtb that will be the first thing that goes on it. I wonder why people don't use them as much anymore?
