Wow. This internet stuff is so cool. I'm an enthusiast , former roadracer (Willow Springs, CA) & freelance moto-mechanic, riding both dirt and road bikes. From the few threads I've looked at, this site is amazing for its depth of knowledge. I wish I could find a hard-copy book about suspension that's as good! I'll most likely just lurk in the background, but will ask an occasional question or two about stuff I don't understand.
Cheers!
