Nice I like. I might be making the change to MTB soon as we are looking at buying a business in the Blue Mtns of northeastren Oregon and there is not too much opps for a roadie to ride up there but lots of dirt trails. So I may need all the help I can get with the change over. I know I will need the help as MTB scares the hell out of me right now.

I like it. I'm still new to mtn biking and I learned some things. Especially about where to be on /off the saddle. Thanks

Nice page, Irulan. Great tips. I especially like the photos. Makes it much more interesting than text alone.

I like it. I do have one question (this will show how much I do not know!!!!). You mentioned checking to see if your fork is locked out. A- does that mean so that your shock won't work? and B- how do you lock/unlock?

I love this...random acts of ignorance on my part, wonderful help and graciousness on yours! Thanks in advance.

some front and rear shocks, generally "nicer" ones have an optional lockout that you can switch. Yes, with front and rear lock out you can turn your bike into a rigid which is nice for on on the road. If you can lock out the back that's nice for a long climb.

I once rode the NORBA XC course ( for fun) with reverse suspension...front locked out, back activated. And I thought it was my riding, that I was having "one of those days"...
