...Is that the back wheel doesn't absorb large rocks like the front one does when travelling rather fast downhill.

Mangled my knee today, manlove needed :cry:

    You need a c*ck up the bum just because your knee hurts - get a road bike and feel the real.

    Who are you? What are you on about?

    If I wanted to bore myself to death I'd love to get a road bike.

    I think he's offering you a lycra clad bumming.
    Sorry oldlegs, most mtbers aren't really into that sort of thing, neither do we feel the need to ride a bike with a saddle that feels much the same as a cock up the arse.
