Hello, I finally got to the point of obtaining my Costa Rican licence and today, Jan. 1st 2011 finally and legally went for a long ride, and I now understand this post about the rear stock absorber for the 31 cm. Boy I thought I was dismounting from a all day horseride. It might be that as I am a newbie, I am not accostumed to the vibration.

Should I assume that the 27cm stock rear shock absorbers are a bit "stiff" on the back?
