Neato, WR. Has anyone helped you set up the suspension? In my limited experience, it may take some time and more than a few rides to tweak it to your liking, and you may want to make additional tweaks depending on specific trail conditions. My shop set up the Juliana based initially on my weight. After a few rides, though, DH and I reset both the fork and shock and played around with the settings. It's still a work in progress to some degree as I've gotten a feel for the bike. I would suggest reading the instructions on Fox's website how to do that. I also had to do some independent reading to get a better understanding of certain terms, e.g., rebound, dampening, sag. It's a whole different world from road bikes.
