    Anyone any opinions??
    I have a good hardtail for trails etc. but i have a back problem(which gets aggravated by the hardtail everytime i hit the trails) and im keen to try a full suspension to see if i can get out more.
    I have read that this bike is quite heavy in reviews and some people say the spring is poor.

    Im not familiar with the forks or spring etc so you opinions be great :-)
    Marty.

    That's the old Remedy design and yes, they're heavy. What kind of riding would you be doing on it? It wouldn't be the best climber in the world.

    Id be hitting as much single track as possible...all stuff i could do on my hardtail just hoping not to aggravate my back as much by trying a full suss(i hope to get it for around 500)
    FWIW my current bike is an 08 TREK 6300
