Is a fully a good choice? (back pains)

[Devold]

I looooooove my new bike, though I haven't paid for it yet We took a long bike ride in differents forests today and The Titus Rockstar rocks She plows through everything and rolls perfectly

**** I'm a lucky girl, because I have the best BF in the world

A Titus full susupension 29er....Wow! I'm jealous (but happy for you) even though I just bought the Santa Cruz Juliana.

Hopefully, this solves your problems. If not, don't forget to get a certified bike fitting.

I've heard so many good things about Titus, congratulations! It looks like you have some great places to ride as well, sweet!

Ooh, pretty--both the scenery and the bike. Congratulations!

BTW: It seems like the reason many people tell you to start out with a hardtail is 1) money (you don't necessarily want to sink a ton of money into something that may not stick); 2) you learn better bike-handling skills with a hardtail because you can't rely on the rear suspension. Also, here at least, you don't really need full suspension.

Thanks to all of you, I'm already in love with her

Owlie: Yeah the FS are very expensive, if you want a nice one I also believe that a hardtail will teach me more about mtb technique. I'm lucky to get this almost new bike for little money and take care of my back at the same time. I wouldn't spend 4-5K on a FS, because I'm a new to mtb.

The Rockstar is a "stiff" fully with 100 mm rear travel, so she is fairly "restrained" compared to other FS I wouldn't buy a bike with more suspension as a starter bike, that would be a dumb buy

I was overconfident (not intentionally) yesterday on a very steep sandy path and I was close to losing balance and end up in a ditch *LOL*. I braked in a sharp turn at high speed. It was a stupid decision. Ohhh, the joys of being a newbie But now I have already learned from this mistake until the next time haha.
