Hard Tail vs Full Suspension?

I ride rigid 29er's and can't see the point in suspension for the riding I do. What limits my pace is my skill level.

Many of my best strava segments and KOM's I have done on my single speed rigid 29er. It really does depend on the rider and what sort of trails the rider rides. I am bloomin slow when rocks appear and downhill no matter what bike I am on.

Well it looks like no one else will be subjected to reading that again. He's seen sense and deleted the essay.

do kids use strava to track their green trail rides?

For me FS takes away the fun and feel of the trail compared to a hardtail. Probably because i started mountain biking in the early 1990's and prefer natural trails to trail centres.

Something so obvious? O.K., what's the answer, then?

Apples and oranges!
