rear shock advice
Hi. I am after some advice re: rear shocks. I have not owned a dual suspension bike before but I am currently looking around for something cheap (older in decent condition).
I will be riding mainly XC style with some easier AM thrown in. I dont like to hit the big downhill stuff.
Considering that I will be riding uphill trails a fair bit, is there anything in particular that I should be looking for in a rear shock? I am mainly worried about pedal bob and losing a lot of momentum when riding up hills.

Has anyone done this with shimano xt gear I'm running the standard tripple chain ring and a xt shadow rear derailer on my hard tail just never use the other 2 rings on the crank when raceing
Like the idea of loosening a bit more weight of the bike as well any info would be great
Thanks

Wireless Electronic Dropper Post
So Apparently KS are developing a Wireless Electric powered Dropper Post. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/ks-electronic-wirel...
Seems this is the way that things are heading, with more and more electrical gear being integrated into bikes. EI rear shock, Di2 shifters now being added, plus the dropper post. One day someone is going to get an electric shock from shorting out while doing a river crossing. Upside is though, you may be able to use it to restart someone's heart during a heart attack!!

These are just pure dirt eating machines.....yes carbon is worth it and yes Santa Cruz bikes are worth every penny !
Luv this bike and the pike forks.....so smooth.
If you are thinking about getting one - just do it, you'll never look back.

Bike Recommendations
Ok so I have approx $5k (maybe stretch a little bit more but dont say anything) for a new XC 29er dually. Ideally new but would consider good condition used if the right bike. Have looked around a bit but nothing like hearing from guys who have owned and ridden. Any suggestions for a new or even anyone got something they are considering trading which would fit the bill??
