You don't seem to understand. Reguardless of HOW your rebound is setup, a dual suspension WILL BUCK! I've experienced it on tons of FS bikes, read it in tons of magazines...maybe you should do a little reseach. Show me a 20 pounds FS bike. Until you get a bike that is as LIGHT as a hardtail it will never be ass efficient. Is that a hard concept to understand? More weight = less efficiency because you have to haul it all down the trail. There's no way in hell you'd out-sprint a guy on a hardtail on your big hit... NO WAY. Does your friend weigh 350 pounds or something? I'd like to see you beat me to the top of the hill on that dog!

Do I have to scan one of the articles in my bike magazine so that some of you might better understand the concept of how a dual suspension bike can have a bucking effect? I really didn't think it was that hard to understand.. simple physics.

Picture this: You are driving in your car and you slam on the brakes. The front end dips, while the rear end rises. It is the SAME concept on a dual suspension bike. Often when you hit a deep rut or drop off a small ledge the front fork will compress, and the rear shock will decompress, causing the rear to rise up and the front to dip. It's NOT that hard to understand, but I suppose I can SCAN this article if you really MUST have a simpler explanation.
