Riding Rigid: 6 reasons why you should go without suspension
Good article on why you should go single and rigid every now and then.
I usually switch out during the Winter for a cleaner setup during the rainy season.
Mountain Biking on the forest moon of Endor
Sometimes when I ride in the coastal mountains I feel like I am riding on the Forest Moon of Endor.
This weekend I took the newly converted Karate Monkey to test out the winter build. Single speed, Rigid, with Panaracer Rampages (2.35). The difference between this build and the usual Single speed version is a flat bar with bar ends and a higher rise stem.
Switching from suspension to a steel fork always takes a bit of work. I normally use the suspenion to help get over obstacles and a rigid fork quickly reminds one not to to do that ;). The rigid fork also forces one to “Flow Like Water” over roots and other obstacles. Whereas I usually just ride over the bumps suspension, with a rigid fork I find I look for the easiest fastest route.
Unfortunately the pictures really didn’t turn out to well since the weather was rainy and cloud covered. The ride ended up being more fun than the pictures detail. Oh well.
