Full Suspension Commuter

I got a new bike last week. Can't wait to ride it so I am going to commute on it tomorrow.

I am kind of excited to try it. I added some fenders, Planet Bike Super Flash, Nokian studded tires and a P7 flashlight from dealextreme.com for the headlight.


Back in May I had plans of getting a Raleigh Sojourn, my previous post about that http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...584&highlight=

I didn't end up getting a bike like I planned and spent the rest of the summer and fall commuting on my full suspension Diamondback XSL Trail. I love riding that bike. The only problem is that when the temperature fell to 0 Celsius the Fox float shock would get really bouncy. I didn't like bobbing around so I started riding my old Trek again. This new bike has lockouts on the fork and the rear shock, if I need it. I hope it works out that I can ride this bike year round.

Anyone else commute in the winter on a full suspension? How does your suspension handle the cold?
