Dinqua, thanks for that. You described my feelings to a T. I notice the back end skipping around and sliding now and then too when riding hard. I felt it did it too easily and it makes me nervous even when riding slow but talking corners with a steep angle. This has been bothering me and i was hoping the shocks would help but wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming that.

It's odd, but when i was young i rode bikes that didn't handle near as well as my current bike. Yet at the same time thier rears didn't slide out like this even tho today i don't ride nearly as stupid. At first i attributed this to possibly being the tires, but after reading your post i'm glad to see i was wrong. Now i cannot wait to try these. Thanks !
