This is because roadies are candy'azz'pansies who like to wear pink.

That "vibration" that you speak of should be the least of your concerns. What about the G-outs and rocks/roots. Sure, a nice fork can make rocks and roots "seem" like they're only vibrations...but most of the time...the sport is plagued with all sorts of fun obstacles that can feel unpleasant when hacked at.
