I looked at the rear shock. It is leaking oil and locking it out doesn't work. So that is my current excuse. (I still find it harder to ride my mountain bike up steep gravel roads than my on/off road bike, but this at least accounts for why it was so inefficient.)

I'm managing most stuff on my road bike now, so full suspension definitely is overkill. But at times it can be nice to have. If I ever get another mountain bike I think it will be a hard tail with 27.5+ (unless I can find 26+).
