I've got a boxxer, see my reply above

I've got a boxxer. Keep the front end low & light. I love it. Been riding whistler all year long, lots of other local fun stuff too. Best overall bike I can think of for this area. Whistler demands a stiff bike, whistler also tells you to just have some fun on a bike and pop a little more than if you were in a world cup race. I have a ti spring and it did take a few rides to get the shock setup right, but all the best bikes I've had do. Best bike I've ever had. You can setup a shock any way you want if you know how to take it apart and understand what each piece does. TRANSITION will help, if you are not happy, call them. And NO, I don't work for them.
