Can we have an honest conversation about suspension forks

[MORNE]

The same reason any other bike does.

Some kiddies on Helderberg, Jonkershoek, Hellsend dirt compound doing double black trails and massive jumps and techy rock gardens at break neck speed - I don't care what we did in the good ol' days - no one can do those trails on rigid bikes and honestly say it's fun.

Hey, people are into all sorts of fetishes for heightened sensations of ‘fun’ lol

Jewey trying to convince me to do an enduro event on my rigid trail bike haha.

I thinking of biting....carpal tunnel and all. i don't have to be the fastest...just enjoy the day out I reckon. and to be honest, I'm so used to it by now...probably wont even be that bad.

 

haha, that will be fun in sure......

 

This weekend I rode a hardtail for the first time in a while. I very decent, XC race type bike, and flip, was it fast on the gravel compared to my full sus...... but, getting a little carried away, flying down a hill on the sir Robert Stanford at about 50km/h, and deciding to jump the little arched bridge over the stream, I was very quickly reminided we I love suspension.

 

Nothing went wrong, I landed it well, but nothing on earth could prepare me for how fast that hardtail would throw the back wheel up....... I very nearly learned how to do a front flip, without trying......

 

Enduro on a rigid bike.... thanks but no thanks.....

Well, it wont be enduro as defined by the bro’s, more like me being timed, cruising down the trails way too slow...bringing up the rear haha. Then on the untimed parts going uphill, i can pass you all and laugh at you at the top for being ‘unfit fatties’ ????????
