My new (to me) bike (copied from another thread)

Good to know, thanks!

I'm looking forward to giving the new to me FS bike a proper test at Nepaug Sunday. I'm having the shock rebuilt by the LBS so I shouldn't have anymore leaking issues!

I inherited my Dad's old '02 Specialized Rockhopper Comp FSRxc. I rode it a few times already, but the air shock was leaking so it was a little too squishy... Should be good to go by Sunday.

Does your current shock have pro-pedal? The FSR suspension also know as a Horst link bobs pretty badly IMO. Thise types of bikes pedal much better with a platform type shock such as Fox shocks with pro-pedal or Manitou shocks with SPV.

No, it doesn't. I definitely want to upgrade the shock to something with a pedaling platform, but that just isn't in the budget right now. It was only $40 (and I had a gift certificate to the LBS) to fix the shock I have now, so I went with just fixing it for now.
