Thanks for the insights and warnings! I had no idea ):
Okay I guess I won't be doing any major trails with this bike. Poo. *shrug* Oh well - roads first, light XC. I'm good with that.
I took a closer look at the shocks. They are elastomer. Attached pic. So the bottom line then is that they are really squishy because of me. I've got a few lbs on me. So it looks like I'll have to go with a rigid fork until I can slough off some of this weight.
Live and learn and ride. And lose weight. That's why I'm here.
