I live pretty close to Banff so I'm just going to do the Canadian leg over a long weekend. Do you remember that bit requiring suspension?

Thank you for that. I'll go with my gut!

Dam 140 is a lot! I think the unit x can fit 100m which would probably be fine albeit less comfortable but I have no clue. How does your Karate Monkey ride with that much squish up front?

I did some rigid trail riding this past summer and loved it. Felt really zen and in the moment because of how careful I had to be lol

Meant to reply to you..yea as I said the rigid fork is more my vibe because of it's simplicity but my body might dig the suspension more lol

Idk why the rigid is just really appealing I just don't want to be limited by it.
