More questions I’m afraid as I try to narrow down on the spec I’m looking to get in a bike.
I hired a couple of hybrids recently. One with front suspension forks and one without. I did like the one with the suspension. It smoothed out a lot of the buzz and bumps from the road. I was left thinking that it had to be better for my wrists, elbows, shoulders etc. A generally more comfortable ride.
Are there any downsides to front suspension other than the added weight?
I do plenty of climbing in my rides here in Devon so it’s not flat terrain but some of the roads and country lanes are quite rough and chewed up in places.
