…… have suspension forks or a dropper post?
I’d have always said suspension but now depending on the bike, I’m starting to wonder.
I’m retiring my oldest modern bike to display/ special occasion use. It’s going to be hanging long term so I took off the wireless dropper ( see classifieds
) and replaced it with a rigid post. By the time I’d finished faffing around, the sun was out and I went for a ride on it. I’ve been using a dropper for about 14 years now and I think I’ve forgotten how to ride without one. Junctions, drop it so I can sit with feet down. Ditches, small stairs etc, drop it for going up and down. The long, steep grass bank was frankly terrifying with the seat giving my prostate a good nudge. Made me wonder if I’d rather ride a hard tail fully rigid but with a dropper, than suspension but a normal post.
