That's great for them. Notice what I said is: "Many of us have singletrack options that require some squish to be able to run at a decent speed that makes it fun and worthwhile and not rattling your teeth and bones." So, to each his own. I'm confident that shocks will be around for many years to come because they were invented for a reason, and that reason makes sense to many people and enables them to enjoy what they could not otherwise. Jones bikes look great. Never rode one. Many, many more shocked bikes out there compared to Jones. Including sus-corrected ones that give folks an option, which was my point. Regardless, looking fwd to whatever it is Riv has come up with! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
