Yeah, I'm saying full suspension probably isn't worth the effort of servicing/buying a shock given (my perception of) what you're going to be using it for. You hate working on bikes anyway, servicing a shock is surely going to be one of the most frustrating jobs out there

What are you even on about? Consider the value that you can add to a discussion before posting.

For now it's my commuter since every other bike I own is being killed off. I just rode it back home and it now has @Hulsroy old Fat Franks on it so I don't have to push knobbies up and down the road. The duallie cush might actually help my coccyx to heal?
The rear shock still had air in it so perhaps my theory that it was leaking was wrong. It seemed ok when it was locked out. When it was enabled it's using maybe half the available travel (after I pumped it up to maybe 150psi).
The bigger pain is actually the fork, which moves almost the full range of travel so bounces like all hell when I stand up take off at the lights. It's a Marathon Bomber with ETA but I'm not sure what sort so I don't even know if it's air or spring or what. I'm guessing coil-over oil unless the cap at the bottom comes off to reveal a valve.

"shock" not "fork"
This is rear suspension we are talking about.
