>>1358952>suspension slows you down though...Only on perfectly smooth surfaces. When it starts to get rowdy ( pic related ) it starts to make sense to add suspension.
>>1359678>Pneumatic tires themselves provide some suspension and vibration damping.At 100+ psi this effect is minimal
>Spoked wheels also provide some suspension because they flex as they roll....Insignificantly. So does the rest of the bike. Besides - secondary suspension is not for vibration ( that is what tyres are for ) but for taking on harsh hits ( cobbles, railroad track, potholes ) and makes sense where termac is mostly not well maintaned.
Let me tell you this way. Hitting a pothole at 20mph is not fun. I ride after dark quite a lot and it has happend to me more then once.
