Fair play, but never single speed

its all personal preference, but i see were your comin from,i can never go back to gears..too many problems...but back on topic..if you want a DC on a HT then just follow the Companys reccomendations...this is were poeple get bad experiences with DC on HT...go to the WEBSITE before you purchase the bike and make sure it is warrentied to handle said travel...VERY SIMPLE..Do Not put any DC on a blk mrkt, 4hun, Pseries etc....just stupid... there are HT MEANT to handle DC...evil imperial, sinister DNA, norco manik and up, transition TOP, banshee morphine, porn king, etc... follow the rules and you wont get hurt

should be fine..remember, its the rider not the bike..but you may have to lighten it up a bit, to ease you through harder climbs..but youll survive..good luck

A Wolverine isn't the best frame to put a 170mm fork on, let us know when it breaks.

Some people have excercised induced asthma, It's actually quite common and is easily remedied by an occasional puff on an inhalor... i found this out after months of Hacking my lungs out during climb's ( i don;t smoke ) with my 2 pack a day buddy ( who doesn't cough )

Swimming 2-3 times a week during the winter months seem's to have remedy'd the problem. Try to swim, it's one of the best cardiovascular excercises and the Humidity that you breathe is good for repairing damaged lungs.

Hope this help's you..

Ohh, to the "camel back" guy.. I also Have no idea how to ride without a camel-back.
also I have exploded several Bladders by crashing, making me Believe that it also serves an important role in back protection... even when empty I'll blow some air into mine before doing a big jump-drop, Etc.

If other peoples' taste in forks really gets you that worked up, it may be time to rethink your priorities.

Live and let ride.
