A follow up question if you don't mind.
Would it be better to get the Overdrive Comp above or something like this or this and immediately put money into some upgrades? If it matters I'm relatively heavy, about 240 lbs. So I worry about the forks.
FWIW, I live in North Florida. There's some nice trails here but not a lot of elevation change.
Dear mtb experts, I have a nice road hybrid (Ghost Panamao X3) but friends keep inviting me to go trail riding with them in SoCa and I do not feel that riding stuff like this on my X3 is a particular bright move. So, I am in the market for a new moderately priced mountain bike (as a tall dude @ 6'4 and on a budget so I do not want to drop several thousand for a bike at the moment) for which I am considering either option 1 or option 2 (or happy to consider other options in a similar price range if I am totally missing something here). My main question; what the heck is the spring thing under the middle bar in option 1 and is that useful to have or is 2 just as good to get? Thanks for your time!
