>>1010987I agree with this guy-Sometimes I lock out my shock and fork for nostalgia and the ride is just less comfy and enjoyable. Modern components have pretty much eliminated "pedal bob" so other than weight and cost there is little reason not to go FS. 1x and plus tires have their place but I still prefer 2x and hard skinny tires. I actually want a bell because i ride between trails on crowded bike paths. This one is supposed to sound like a cowbell instead of an antique telephone. Fenders would be nice but glasses are good enough.
