Why dont you get a hardtail? You're using your travel for climbing, not for descending? There are so many things wrong with this, I don't even know where to start.

This was exactly what I was thinking. I currently have 09 RP23 rear and TALAS front. I don't mess with it too much. But on long steep climbs, it is definately easier to drop the front end. Don't need long travel when going 5 mph anyway.Maida7 said:For steep climbs I can extend the rear and lower the fork. For techy downhills I can drop the rear and raise the front.
On less technical rolling terrain I ride it with the fork all the way down to 100MM and the rear on the 4" travel setting. Gives it a XC feel.
On gnarly terrain I run both front and rear at full travel and I have a 5x5 AM type ride.
