Full sus or hardtail or rigid

[kaiser]

Ok probably done to death....but whats your bag? For day to day riding. Point a-b, enjoyment, involvement, performance etc. Not necessarily retro

Rigid for me please, They just steer so much better and if you stand up and bend your knees they act as perfectly good suspension

Although saying that i do like my full bouncer fsr for the forgiveness it offers.

6 months ago it would have been full suss.

Now I've gone competely opposite and not looking back. Rigid is so light and responsive. Makes trails that feel like flat motorways under a full suss back into bridleways with actual bumps to test you. Full suss is too easy. My opinion anyway.

Full suss, Orange 5, it's all the bike I'll ever need & it will handle more than I can ever dish out, plus my arthritic back would crumble on a rigid/hardtail.

I like the look of a full-sus, and I like the comfort on a long ride. But, given the choice, on a average ride on a average day my hardtail is my ride of choice

I am a crap rider that spends every downhill terrified about things to crash into. Full sus is the only thing that keeps me riding, so I love it for that. Love my rigid Kona for commuting and just because it is an old friend and hopefully will love my hardtail project because it will make me smile - even if it rides like a dog, I will use it when I go out with Mrs SB.

Can I tick each box? No? If I could only have one bike it would be the FS, but if I could only have one car I would keep my Seat Alhambra cause it is so practical, that would not stop me wanting a DB9 and a pick-up as well though...

Quite surprising so far

 

[tintin40]

has to be rigid

Rigid all the way. I'd like to try suspension one day when the technology's had time to mature.
