Sorry to hear this, Beverly. I thought we had lured you over to the dark side. Is this because of something that has happened or are you being influenced by overly cautious advisors?

I have been pleasantly surprised at how well my back has taken to some pretty aggressive offroading. Even the hardtail wasn't causing me problems until I started doing faster rides for longer distances on rougher terrain, making the full suspension bike more appealing. Maybe a Thudbuster could help.
