I built a winter hack, mostly out of free parts that I was given or from my parts boxes, that has become just my hack because I like it so much.
However when riding over 20 miles it starts to feel harsh.
The frame n forks are Ridgeback Velocity an aluminium frame with wishbone rear end and steel forks.
Wheels are 32 spoke with Mavic MA3 rims
Tyres, front - Michelin World Tour 35mm @ 60psi (all that was available mid Sunday morning in rural Normandie after the bead broke on a 'better' touring tyre)
Rear - Schwalbe Marathon 35mm @ 70psi
Seatpost n stem are no name budget items
Bars are branded Genesis
So whats the best way to smooth the ride and any good budget ideas?
