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.

Shimano QR Hub Cone Adjustment
Hi all,
Quick question relating to Shimano QR hub cone adjustment.
Do you 1) leave the tiniest amount of play before installation and let the QR compression take it up?
or 2) Adjust the cones to have zero play prior to installation of the QR?
I have been doing No.1 but not sure if there is enough bearing preload being applied. (There is no lateral play in the wheel once installed)
Interested to know anyones thoughts/experience on this one.
