It's 2008

Your mountain bike doesn't have a clutch derailleur but it most likely has a front derailleur. You used to say "Marzocchi" with a sultry reverence but now their product sucks and I mean SUCKS. You may have a Fox 36 or a RockShox Totem or Lyrik but there's a good chance you're riding hard on a stretched out 32mm XC chassis*. Many riders consider travel-adjust to be the key feature on suspension forks. You just bought a really short stem, it's 70mm long.

If there's a dropper post on your bike then it doesn't drop nearly far enough and the side-to-side saddle play is greater than the vertical travel. You get regularly laughed at by your riding friends when it fails on the trail and if you ever meet Paul Turner in person you're planning to beat him twice with your Joplin or Speedball for every dollar you wasted on that POS.

*In all fairness the RockShox Boxxer still had 32mm stanchions.
