Mountain biking question?
how important is full suspension if i want to do a bunch of California trails? a lot of small-average size rocks. if you have ridden a full suspension would u ever go back to front suspension? im 5'8, 145 lbs, can someone estimate how big my bike has to be? around 19 inches?
Where in California are you? Many of the trails in Cali are fine for a Hardtail. If you live somewhere like Tahoe (where I live) or Downieville...other places that are very rocky...full suspension is pretty much the only option. In many places, full suspension is still desireable, if not required. Full suspension bikes help keep your wheels on the ground, even after hitting small rocks (the kind that you would sort of "bounce over" on a hardtail), and that keeps you moving forward with less effort. They are also super fun to ride, because you can learn to "load" the suspension with your body weight before jumps or rocks you want to launch off of. This also helps you to slingshot through banked turns, like riding a motorcycle.
As for your size, many mountain bikes come in s,m,l sizes now. It will vary between manufacturers, but I would say you'd likely be comfortable on a medium, or 17" bike (or whatever the manufacturer's equivalent is). It is always important to test ride a bike, and have the shop fit you properly. They can change out certain parts to make a bike fit better, often at no charge.
