I found the lack of rear suspension pretty awful in terms of comfort, especially as I'm not exactly svelte. A good short travel full suspension won't be bouncy, will have better traction on the climbs, and you won't be jackhammered up the arse on the rough flat bits.
Not that it wasn't doable or anything, I made it, but fuck me does everything still ache.
