jcmtb Whats your honest opinion if your thudbuster?
Does it move around too much?

I have this TB for 6 months and don't feel this move around too much, for me is perfect. My friend have both 1" and 3" travel, so he prefer long travel, he say is more confortable.

Let me ask you, how does it feel while riding with rocks or roots? doesnt it throw off you pedaling with the constant change of pedal geometry?
 or do you have to get off the saddle while riding in this type of terrain?

I had F/s bike for 8 years, when i start ride this bike (29er HT), i feel throw off my pedaling, while riding with rocks or roots, for that reason i get this T Buster, so now i feel like i ride a F/S, is just my opinion , i don't have to get off the saddle while riding in this type of terrain. I ride Alafia, boyette, Carter, markan park. I feel very good.

2005 Specialized S-Works FSR 120. Nothing fancy here, just good kit that works for me.
